And Again

In revisiting Liverpool, I should have recalled the gathering after the death of John Lennon. 

He was murdered on December 8th, a Monday.  On Sunday the 14th, there was a huge vigil and memorial gathering in the centre of the city, at St George's Plateau. Wikipedia says there were 30,000 people there.

I was watching the TV News in Birkenhead, and saw a report on the gathering.  And I remember seeing people I knew in the crowd, so I went out, crossed the Mersey, and somewhat amazingly found them again and joined them.  It all took about 45 minutes I guess.  It was one of those days when you wanted to be with people you knew.
