Dutch pay respects to MH17 victims

An outpouring of grief in the Netherlands.

For the third day in a row, the Dutch pay their respects to the incoming victims of the MH17 disaster.

A convoy of hearses is carrying remains to the Hilversum army base.

That's where forensic experts are working to identify the victims.

At the gates, a memorial grows.

(SOUNDBITE) (Dutch) YVONNE SAYING:

"A lot of people in the Netherlands are part of this. I know personally a number of people who know someone who lost someone, and in this way maybe everyone knows up to ten people who will never come back from holidays, or a trip to Malaysia or Bali."

At Eindhoven airfield, more support is flying back to Ukraine where they'll assist forensic experts at the crash site.

The last remaining bodies of the victims will arrive in the Netherlands on Saturday.
