A nice touch

A nice touch.

It’s been heart-warming to see the many examples of solidarity with the victims of the Paris attacks since the terrible events of Friday night.

The vigils that took place in Ireland, for example, or the pianist playing John Lennon’s Imagine close to the Bataclan Theatre in Paris where 80 people were killed.

Coldplay did something similar upon hearing of the terrible news at a gig in LA on Friday night, as was captured in fan footage by a member of the audience below.

The band also later cancelled a scheduled show out of respect for the events in France on Friday night.
