A Vigil for Paris in Melbourne

Last night in Melbourne a French expatriate named Laura Laffitte held a vigil for Paris, just as she’d done for the Charlie Hebdo murders. As John Lennon’s Imagine swelled in the background, Ms Laffitte quoted Martin Luther King on the importance of letting go. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.” Some cried, most hugged. We’ll leave the photos to describe the rest.
