A good historical video of the evening’s confusion as the crowd grows at the closed gates. And then.....
I don’t like the fact that the plaque is on the ground.
Thank you for those great photos - a reminder that God is good. I keep reminding myself that Mr. Carter (and the whole terrible situation with the economy, etc.) led to President Reagan. And that Thatcher and the Pope were there at the time. I pray that the stars will align again.

Excerpts from his speech. (...and the crowd goes wild...)
Reagan believed the American people, and believe that the American people knew what was best, not the government.
Reagan was popular with rank and file people from both parties and independents. He was not popular with bureaucrats or professional politicians from either party.
