Candlelight vigil in Brussels after Tuesday's terror attacks
- 8 years ago
Thousands gathered in the centre of Brussels to pay tribute to the victims of Tuesday’s terror attacks.
A memorial has sprung up in the Place de la Bourse …. becoming a place of reflection and solidarity for a city in shock.
“We have not really been prepared but there has always been this sense of dread that something might happen,” said one woman. “It honestly really has not sunk in yet for me personally because I never really believe that something could happen here in Brussels.”
For another it was a sad day: “ Brussels is a fantastic place and I don’t want anyone to destroy this beauty that we live with here.”
Some may have known one or two of the 30 or so people who lost their lives, or perhaps has a friend among the scores who’ve been injured.
Even politicians have been drawn to the square…. EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker hugged Belgian PM Charles Michel in a sign of mutual sympathy.
AS the hours passed more flowers and candles were left along with messa
