People can be seen praying for victims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, in this photo taken on Sunday 10 March 2013, during a temporary visit to Namie town. It is inside the no-go zone around the tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. With a minute of silence, tolling bells and prayers, Japan will on Monday mark the second-year anniversary of the disaster that killed thousands of people and set off a nuclear crisis that shattered public trust in atomic power and the nation's leaders - as the following pictures will show.
