Flowers and candles were laid at the edge of the field where Caruana Galizia’s car ended up in a ball of flames after the bomb inside the vehicle was triggered.

The explosion happened at exactly 2.59pm, shortly after the journalist had left her house, a few hundred metres up the road.

The spot where the burning car stopped is marked by two big banners, one with Caruana Galizia’s face and a second with the word ‘Justice’.

People held up posters with the number ‘365’ to recall the one-year anniversary since the assassination.

Some others could be seen with tears streaming down their face. A touching message left with the flowers caught our eyes: ‘Lady, just like we promised you, we have not forgotten you.’

The commemoration in Bidnija will be followed at 6pm by a mass in Valletta and a march calling for truth and justice at 7pm.
