Authorities on Friday began moving the bodies of victims of a fire that ripped through a crowded bar a day before in a Swiss ski resort town to a funeral centre in a nearby city.

The first silver-coloured hearse rolled into the funeral centre in Sion shortly after 11:00 am (1000 GMT), AFP journalists saw. It was followed by several other hearses from the bar fire in which around 40 people died and over 100 were injured, according to police.
