Norway massacre: A year on

Bruce Springsteen has performed a concert in Oslo to mark the first anniversary of the mass killing in Norway. The bombing in Oslo and shooting at Utoeya Island by Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people.

Norway has been commemorating the 77 victims of a bomb and gun massacre that outraged the nation a year ago.

Anders Behring Breivik, a 33-year-old far-right fanatic, confessed to the July 22, 2011, attacks: a bombing of the government headquarters in Oslo, killing eight, and a shooting massacre that left 69 dead at the left-wing Labour Party's youth camp on Utoya island.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg joined Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, survivors and families of victims for a ceremony on Utoya island marking the anniversary.

Eskil Pedersen, the leader of the Workers' Youth League, who survived the attack, led a minute's silence for the victims.

The Norwegian Prime Minister said today that the Utoya massacre and Oslo bombing did not change the values of the country.

In a short speech at a sombre and brief ceremony at the site of the Oslo bomb Jens Stoltenberg said Breivik's massacre, was answered by the Norwegian people embracing their values more. He said:

"The bomb and the gun shots were meant to change Norway. The Norwegian people answered by embracing our values. The perpetrator lost. The people won."
