More than 200 relatives and friends paid their last respects to one of the Bulgarian train fire victims at a funeral service held in "St. Sofia" church on Saturday.

Elena Halacheva, 52, died after hellish flames swept through the night train, taravelling from the capital city to the northern town of Kardam on February 28.

She was among those victims, who have been identified last after results of the DNA analyses got ready.

The funeral is to take place later in the day in a graveyard in Bulgaria's capital.
