Sierre coach crash

The passengers, four teachers and 46 pupils from Saint-Lambertus school in Heverlee, Flemish Brabant, and Stekske primary school in Lommel, Limburg, were returning home having spent the previous few days at a skiing resort in Val d'Anniviers in the Swiss Alps.

Peter Vanvelthoven, the mayor of Lommel, whose school lost 15 of its 22 pupils and both of the teachers aboard the coach, announced a memorial service the next week in the town, with attendees including the Belgian royal family and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
