Sad Times

 


The local mayors and councillors in their ribbons of office

Yesterday, we attended a sad event. You may have read of the assassination of a teacher , Samuel Paty, in France last Friday – for teaching about freedom of speech.

All over France there have been gatherings as a show of support and solidarité  for teachers. This was the one held in our town.


only saw two people not wearing a mask



some social distancing even in the carpark



trying not to get too close



even the dogs paid their respects


There were a couple of speeches, a minute silence, then everyone sang La Marseillaise.

It was very stirring.


Solidarité
