A memorial service is under way in Cologne, Germany for the 150 people who were killed in last month's horrific jetliner crash in the French Alps.

The service in Cologne's landmark cathedral will include the lighting of one candle for each of the victims.
Among those attending are relatives of the dead and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
