The death toll from the last weekend's tragic Love Parade in Duisburg, Germany has risen to 21 after a German woman died in hospital.

Reports now suggest that over 500 party-goers were injured during the stampede at the event, caused when organisers shut the exit to the only entrance tunnel, causing mass panic amid the revellers inside.

Eye-witnesses have been critical of the organisers of the event, which saw minimal police or security presence, and only one site entrance, despite over 1million people reportedly turning up, although no blame has officially been attributed.

For those affected by this event, or who wish to show their support, a memorial service is being organised, and a book of condolence has already been opened.
