Coffins containing the bodies of the first 50 victims of downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 are being loaded onto aircraft to be flown back to the Netherlands from the crash site in eastern Ukraine.
Two military aircraft - a Dutch C130 Hercules and an Australian Boeing C17 - will fly the bodies to Eindhoven from Kharkiv Airport where they will be met by relatives, the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and members of the Dutch royal family.
Sky's Michelle Clifford, at the airport, said: "The real difficulty is planes are going to be coming in with bodies on board - but none of those families know whether their loved ones are going to be on those planes."
Simon Smith, Britain's ambassador to Ukraine, also at the scene, told Sky News: "This is an extremely difficult operation that requires a lot of different nations coming together to pool their skills and expertise."
An aircraft waiting at Kharkiv Airport to fly bodies to the Netherlands A national day of mourning for the 298 people on board the downed Malaysia Airlines plane, the majority of whom were Dutch, has been declared for today, including a silent march in Amsterdam for the victims this evening.
A minute's silence will be held before a motorcade takes the bodies to the Korporaal van Oudheusden military barracks in Hilversum, where the long process of identifying the remains will begin.
Mr Rutte has warned the identification process could take weeks or even months.
A British team of police officers, led by the Metropolitan Police, will help identify the victims.
floral tributes for the victims of MH17 at Schiphol Airport, near Amsterdam The Boeing 777-200 took off from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, bound for Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia last Thursday when it was brought down near Grabovo, Donetsk, where Ukrainian forces have been battling separatists.
The bodies of the victims were released by rebels in Ukraine on Tuesday, who said the remains of 282 people were on board a refrigerated train.
However, a member of the Dutch forensics team said there were only 200 bodies, in addition to some body parts. It is thought more than 80 bodies have been left at the scene.
A Malaysian air crash investigator inspects the crash site of MH17 Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said it was still unclear how many bodies had arrived in Kharkiv and how many may have been left behind.
Investigators from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) at the crash scene confirmed there were still some unrecovered human remains and "smaller body parts".
The jet's two black box flight data recorders have also been handed over by separatists and will be examined by British experts from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch in Farnborough, Hampshire.
Russia has been accused of arming the pro-Russian rebels who are suspected of shooting down the plane.
A train carrying the bodies of some of the victims of flight MH17 As a result, the EU has agreed to impose sanctions on more Russian officials.
A senior US intelligence official said they believed pro-Russian separatists shot down the flight by mistake.
He confirmed evidence suggests the Russian government was not directly involved in causing the crash, but it "created the conditions" for the plane to be brought down by the rebels.
The official added Moscow was still supplying separatists with tanks and rocket launchers.
President Barack Obama visited the Dutch embassy in Washington on Tuesday and wrote in a condolence book: "We will not rest until we are certain that justice is done."
