Merkel hails 25 years since Berlin Wall fell

  • 10 years ago
Celebrations took place at the Brandenburg Gate where the wall once ran exactly 25 years ago.

As part of the festivities, balloons lined a 15 km path through Berlin.

Earlier on Sunday, Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, remembered the East Germans who died trying to flee to West Berlin before the wall came down.
