International Brigade Commemoration

By chance I came across this small and touching ceremony in Princes Street Gardens last week. The commemoration was of those from the Lothians and Fife who died fighting with the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War.

    Always nice to see that people remember, even if only a few. It is I think how we live on, in the thoughts of others.

    Bah, Ken Loach... I'd recommend Pan's Labyrinth or The Spirit of the Beehive any day.

    In related news, reports of Franco's stolen children.
