Japan has marked seven years since a devastating
earthquake and tsunami levelled towns and struck a nuclear power
station on the country's east coast.
At a memorial ceremony in Tokyo on Sunday March 11,2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and members of the imperial family honoured the roughly 16,000 people left dead as a result of the 2011 disaster.
A moment of silence was observed at 2:46pm (5:46 GMT), the time that the 9.1-magnitude earthquake struck in 2011.
