Michael Jackson Wake

Late Friday night I wandered down to Trafalgar Square in London, UK, and found crowds of young people gathered in a wake for Michael Jackson. Throngs of people came and went while the crowd would start singing one of his songs only to have it die off a few lines later. Up against the gate of the National Gallery a candlelight shrine had begun as people came and read the messages and lit candles. I love the way that dog is lit up in the picture above. Another shot of the square. I noticed the police quietly milling around just to make sure that nothing went wrong. What a nightmare job for them.
