Just a small example of how this tragedy touched us all.

Irish people around the world have been united in their feelings of grief and sympathy following the tragic events in Berkeley this week.

As expected, the array of people that have offered some wonderful tributes and words of condolence have ranged from our notable politicians right through to Irish students currently living in America on a J1.

While there have already been some incredible gestures, powerful tributes and touching sentiments expressed in memory of the six young Irish people that lost tragically their lives, this image will definitely resonate with any Irish person.

Simple but powerful.
