Prayers were said and candles reportedly lit at the Catholic Church in Digne les Bains on Saturday for those who died on board the Düsseldorf-bound Airbus A320 that was deliberately flown into the French Alps by the flights co-pilot.
Investigators now believe Andreas Lubitz, 27, tore up a sick note saying he shouldn't have been flying that day.
It's also been revealed Mr Lubitz told his ex-girlfriend that "one day everyone will know my name", according to German newspaper Bild.
In an interview, the 26-year-old flight attendant known as Maria W told Bild that when she heard about the crash she recalled Andreas Lubitz telling her last year: "One day I'm going to do something that will change the whole system, and everyone will know my name and remember."
The black box voice recorder indicates that Lubitz, 27, locked his captain out of the cockpit on Tuesday and deliberately flew Flight 4U 9525 into a mountainside, French officials say, in what appears to have been a case of suicide and mass killing.
Families of those killed in the Germanwings plane crash are being offered compensation of up to £36,000.
