CBSN
With a bagpiper playing "The Bells of Dunblane" and a few runners looking on, families of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing marked the 10th anniversary of the tragedy early Saturday by slowly walking together to the memorial sites near the finish line and laying wreaths.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who was making her first run for City Council when the bombing happened, joined the somber procession along with Gov. Maura Healey. At each memorial site — marked with three stone pillars for the three victims — they stood with the families in silence. A brief ceremony will be held later in the day at the finish line of marathon, where bells will ring followed by a moment of silence.
The 127th running of the Boston Marathon takes place Monday.
