Salvage workers attempt to refloat Costa Concordia

Efforts are being made to refloat the Costa Concordia cruise ship, as Italy prepares to mark one year since 32 people lost their lives.

Survivors and relatives of the dead will hold a commemoration ceremony tomorrow, exactly a year from the night the liner crashed and keeled over.

Ten people are being investigated about the crash, and the ship's infamous captain is accused of reckless seamanship and abandoning the ship before all passengers had been rescued.

Salvagers are working around the clock to stabilise and refloat the wreck, before towing it away.
