Candle in the wind
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death in Paris.
While
debating whether some kind of candle or flame should be erected as a memorial,
it turned out that an enormous flame - the flame of the Statue of
Liberty, a gift from France to the United States - was already over the tunnel at the
exact spot of the car crash at Pont de l'Alma, which means, "Bridge of the Soul." - BPJ
