Shocked onlookers appeared to be astonished by the scene, where people have gathered since the explosion last Tuesday (4 August) to commemorate those who lost their lives.
The blast is said to have been caused by a fire that accidentally ignited 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, which can be used as fertiliser. It was being stored at a warehouse at Beirut's port. The cargo was taken from a Russian ship six years ago which was impounded.

Questions surrounding the reasons behind the fertiliser being kept there have not stopped, with the Lebanese government announcing they were resigning last night over corruption allegations.
Prime Minister Hassan Diab addressed the nation at 7.30 pm local time (5.30pm BST) confirming the resignation of all ministers.
During the address, Mr Diab blamed the recent disaster on endemic corruption and demanded that those responsible be held accountable.

He said: "The bad smell is everywhere. Today, we are here at this particular point, at this earthquake that hit Lebanon with all the social, human and economic and national consequences.
"Our main goal, our main aim, is to deal with these consequences, together with a quick investigation that will hold everyone responsible if they have committed mistakes.
"We are now talking to the people. Take these people to the court, we need to change. We are with the ambitions of the Lebanese people to bring the change.
"We need to move forward to more transparency, to a country that respects its people, to a country that lives with transparency, to a country that lives with equal policies, but right now we are not.

"At this particular moment, we have to go back to the people and fight with them against corruption. We need to open the door for national salvage, national rescue.
"We need to be part of the people. That's why I declare the resignation of this government."
