I don't know if anyone else has just watched the fantastic firework display on television, centred on and around the London Eye. It really was magnificent. But the really moving, poignant part was the minute's silence for the Asian tragedy beforehand ..... the silence was exactly that, you could have heard a pin drop. It was so touching that so many people were joined in thoughts and prayers. Love to you all, Mandy xx

It was very moving and I have to admit to having a tear or two! This was when my 12yr old son asked to light the candle. He put it in the window as ( he said) a beacon to all those who are lost so they can find their way home....
