The Berlin Wall, 20 years gone - The Big Picture - Boston.com

As is their way, The Boston Globe has a stunning set of photographs commemorating the fall of the Berlin wall.

(My memory of the event (at the age of 5) was of Timmy Mallett explaining it on Wacaday—I guess it must have been the Autumn half-term break of 1989. I have an unshakable, vivid recollection of him hammering the wall with that giant yellow and pink rubber mallet. YouTube does not have the video.) Via: Boston.com.
