Bouquets of white, yellow and red roses littered the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa’s (ECA) conference centre where the memorial was held exactly a month to the day of the ET302 tragic crash. Prayers were offered by religious leaders from the Inter-Religious Council of Ethiopia at the beginning of the service with a minute of silence also observed. Slender single stems of white and yellow roses were placed by their pictures by friends and family members in attendance. The most touching moment of the service that saw almost everyone in the memorial service crying was the testimony given by Annabella Tayob, the wife of Mozambican Marcelino Tayob who died in the crash. It is truly tragic that anyone should perish doing such good and essential work,” she said.
