The external celebrations of the feast of Our Lady of Pompeii in Marsaxlokk are expected to be called off out of respect to the victims on the Simshar tragedy.

Two fishermen from Marsaxlokk have so far been confirmed dead and the search is continuing for a boy and an Ethiopian fisherman who were also on the fishing boat Simshar.

The feast was due to be held on August 3.
