LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry
has honored Britons killed in attacks in Tunisia, sharing in the grief
of survivors and loved ones during a solemn ceremony at Westminster
Abbey. The service Tuesday included the lighting of 31 candles, one for
each person who died in the Tunisian resort town of Sousse and at the
Bardo Museum last year. The Islamic State group has claimed
responsibility for the slayings.
