I wanted to share more than just one picture tonight.

Tonight more than 75,000 people turned up for a "fakkeltog", a parade with burning torches starting at the cathedral and progressing around the lake Breivatnet.
This was for people to pay their respects to those who died in the terrible events that occurred in Oslo and on the island Utøya last Friday.
Many people brought flowers which were placed on the lake.

My heart is still very, very heavy for Norway - so many lost future leaders and lost future parents for Norway!

Lois Evensen said...

Thank you for sharing the pictures. It is all so very sad and hurtful. Those families and all of Norway didn't deserve what happened to them. Senseless.

Coming together to express sorrow must be a universal impulse. I add my condolences and sense of outrage at these foul deeds.

Such a tragic event and these flowers beautifully symbolise the unity of Norwegians supporting each other!

Very touching Gunn. Words are not enough, though I thought Jens Stoltenberg made a good effort.
