Tears as MH17 victims are flown in for identification
International efforts are being made to secure the MH17 crash site away from pro-Russian rebel control as remains continue to be found following the shooting down of the Malaysia Airlines plane.
Two more military aircraft transported the body parts of scores of victims to the Netherlands, before 74 coffins were transported to a convoy of hearses and driven away ahead of a long and grim process of identification.
