Silk fibers are explosive when they combust. Really frightening.

I would risk my life especially to save a child .

Much for our society to learn from, pay attention to.
Thank you GA for enabling us to learn so much from your wonderful work.

When I visit London I always try to make time for a 30 minute visit! To think the children put there lives at risk to help friends and and family and in some cases strangers! It warms your heart ❤️ x

The memory of those who died young is wonderfully described. And makes you think. The fate of the 10-year-old boy who tried to save a younger friend … heartbreaking.

I’m always deeply touched when I discover the section for children in a cemetery …

Love & Peace
