A special commemoration service has been held in Bali to mark the first anniversary of the nightclub bombings there which killed more than 200 people.

Eighty-eight Australians - more than any other nationality - lost their lives in the bombings.

The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, travelled to Indonesia to attend the ceremony. Further services, including a candle-lit vigil and a Balinese ceremony, also took place.

Security was tight for the ceremonies after police warned that Islamic militants in Indonesia had built two bombs.
