Events in Brussels on March 22 marked the first anniversary of a series of bomb attacks on the city’s airport and metro system that left 32 dead and hundreds wounded.

While there was a moment of silence observed at the city’s Grand Place and at the airport, the city’s metro operator urged a “minute of noise” to coincide with the moment of the metro bombing.

This video shows the commemoration ceremony with Belgium’s King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, as a sculpture titled ‘Wounded but Standing in the Face of the Unthinkable,’ made by Jean-Henri Compere, was unveiled.
