There was little left to show yesterday of the tragedy that struck the Turkish resort of Kusadasi when a bomb exploded in a packed minibus on Saturday, killing 17-year-old Tara Whelan and four others.
Just the three flags - Irish, Turkish and British - strung between two palm trees by the side of the road where the blast happened.
In front of them, in a cordoned-off rectangle of tarmac, passersby continued to add to the floral tributes left on Saturday.
"I can't conceive how anybody could do this sort of thing," one Irish tourist carrying a bunch of white carnations told Turkish channel NTV. "It's terrible, inexcusable."
Behind her, two elderly Turkish men crouched, their hands outstretched above their knees, praying.
Shopkeepers hung Turkish flags and minibus drivers tied black ribbons to their vehicles to protest the attack.
In Kusadasi yesterday afternoon, Irish and British tourists were among a crowd of around 7,000 people attending the funeral of one of the Turkish victims, 21-year-old Deniz Tutum.
Some of the mourners shouted slogans against the Kurdish separatist group most Turks believe to have been responsible for the atrocity. The PKK has denied responsibility for the attack.
Investigators are searching for a man minibus driver Cemal Ucar claimed left the vehicle minutes before the blast.
The two other Turkish victims, Ufuk Yucedeniz and Eda Okyay, due to get married next month, were buried on Sunday in separate cemeteries in the nearby city of Izmir.
"These are your wedding flowers, my son, stand up," sobbed Yucedeniz' mother as she placed a small bunch of yellow chrysanthemums on his coffin.
Elsewhere, shopkeepers hung Turkish flags and minibus drivers tied black ribbons to their vehicles to protest at the attack.
Away from the scenes of grief, most tourists seem to be doing their best to forget the events of Saturday.
"Immediately after the bombing, everywhere was really quiet," said Murat Akgun, a waiter at one of Kusadasi's central bars.
"By Sunday, service was pretty much back to normal. We've just had a new influx of tourists who saw nothing. Maybe that has something to do with it."
