The city of Antwerp will hold a memorial service on Monday afternoon for the victims of the earthquake in Morocco, which killed more than 2,000 people.

The Moroccan national anthem will be played and a minute's silence will be observed on the city's Grote Markt at 16:45.

Thousands of people of Moroccan origin live in Antwerp and the community has been deeply affected by the earthquake, the city authorities note.
