PICS: These are the images people are sharing to show solidarity with Brussels

Images can have the strongest impact when it comes to how we react to tragedies such as today’s attacks in Brussels.

People have been responding to the horror in Belgium with some heartfelt visual tributes.

One of the most notable pieces is an artistic rendition of the famous Manneken Pis, a small bronze sculpture of a little boy urinating and a symbolic landmark of Brussels worldwide. Except this time he’s pissing on an AK47.
