Songs for peace at Martin Place

December 17, 2014

Yesterday evening With One Voice Sydney led Martin Place in song… a peaceful show of togetherness at the end of such a sad day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by the hostage crisis.

This is why I’m proud to be Australian. People singing Imagine in the city together is beautiful. #illridewithyou pic.twitter.com/EDRgjFDPmT

So touching, seeing people singing Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ at Sydney’s Martin Place. #Respect

The crowd has broken into a rendition of Imagine here in Martin Place …. I can feel the tears starting #SydneySiege

Meanwhile a block further down #MartinPlace crowds gather to watch a choir sing XMAS carols – Sydney will stay strong & live through this

I walked past a 100m queue to lay flowers and a choir singing ‘Still Call Australia Home’ in Martin Place on the way home.
