The tsunami was caused by an earthquake under the sea bed which registered 9.1 in magnitude.
One third of the victims of the tsunami were children.
In Indonesia, where the tsunami hit first and more than 160,000 lives were lost after a wave as high as 33 feet surged inland, services are being held in memory of the victims.
The tsunami struck a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean, and people are holding moments of silence to mark the time the tsunami struck.
