PHUKET, Thailand, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Britain's ambassador to Thailand David Fall read a poem and a foreign office minister laid a wreath Saturday in memory of the victims of last year's tsunami.
At least 129 Britons died when killer waves battered Thailand. Six Britons are still missing, the BBC reported.
The service was held at an International Wall of Remembrance on the resort island of Phuket, where many tourists died in the Dec. 26, 2004 disaster.
Another memorial was held in a Patong Beach hotel where many survivors and relatives of the dead laid wreaths for the more than 5,300 who permished in Thailand. Hundreds were killed on Phuket.
The tsunami left more than 220,000 people dead or missing in south Asia and more than 500,000 homeless.
