On 21 December 1988, a US-bound jumbo jet Pan Am Flight 103 carrying 259 passengers and crew was blown up over a small Scottish town called Lockerbie, claiming the lives of everyone on the plane and 11 local residents on the ground.
Today a number of ceremonies took place in Lockerbie, and another was held at London's Heathrow Airport chapel. A tribute also took place in the US at the Lockerbie memorial in the Arlington National Cemetery, Washington DC and at New York State's Syracuse University, which lost 35 students in the bombing.

Lockerbie defies comment, even after 20 years.
