Flowers and honorary diplomas are placed in empty chairs at an honorary graduation ceremony in Danwon High School in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, Tuesday, for 250 students who died in the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster. While 75 who survived the sinking graduated in 2016, the honorary ceremony for the dead was postponed for three years to wait for the recovery of more bodies from the sunken ferry. The bodies of two students remain missing. / Korea Times photo by Ko Young-kwon
