A Sri Lankan girl commemorates the victims of the December 2004 tsunami, offering flowers, prayers and alms during a special ceremony to mark the tenth anniversary in the southern coastal town of Peraliya on December 26, 2014, the tenth anniversary of the deadly Asian tsunami. The Ocean Queen Express, which was rebuilt after the tsunami, has become a symbol of the disaster in Sri Lanka and was at the centre of commemorations for the country's 31,000 victims. Survivors and relatives of the dead boarded the train December 26 morning in Colombo and headed to Peraliya, the exact spot where it was ripped from the tracks, around 90 kilometres (56 miles) south of Colombo.
