Freude, Frieden, Freiheit

Where were you twenty years ago?
I was in the Clarence in Manchester with a group of friends totally amazed, awed, and almost in tears at the euphoria about what was going on in Berlin.

Something that at that time I didn't think would happen in my lifetime. How eventually a ghastly symbol of the Cold War was eventually pulled down without a shot being fired.
Just goes to show how indomitable the human spirit is.

Going to put on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and sing along.

The words above?
Joy, Peace, Freedom.
