Ruth Christoffersen lights a candle at St Martin-in-the-Fields church, London, during a memorial service was being held for the families and friends of victims who have died as a result of air-related DVT. * Ruth's 28-year-old daughter Emma died from a deep vein thrombosis following a flight from Australia. A candle was lit for each known victim of so-called "economy class syndrome" at the service which has been organised by Victims of Air Related Deep Vein Thrombosis Association (Varda) and the Aviation Health Institute (AHI). As well as commemorating those who have died, their relatives hope that it will promote awareness of the condition.
