Spain: 69 candles lit at Toledo Cathedral for train crash victims

The royal couple joined victims' relatives for a solemn funeral Mass in Toledo's 13th-century cathedral, held nearly two weeks after one of Europe's deadliest rail disasters this century. Residents of Urda placed 69 candles near the altar , one for each person who died, and a 16th-century sculpture of Christ was brought from the town especially for the ceremony. Mourners gathered inside, where candles were burning in tribute to the dead. Spain's second fatal high-speed rail accident this year has left 69 people dead after a Renfe train collided with a stationary Iryo service near Urda on 28 October.
