They were among around 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys killed in 1995 by the Serb forces.

The 67-year-old now lives thousands of miles away in Australia, but the annual trip means a lot to her.

This year is even more poignant, as for the first time 11 July will be marked as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration, following a UN General Assembly ruling in May.

The Srebrenica massacre, recognised by the UN as a genocide, was the shocking climax of the war in Bosnia - a conflict that erupted after the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
