World Pays Tribute to Reagan - Post your Pics Here

There have been some really nice pics of independent, spontaneous memorials that are going up around the world to honor President Reagan. You know, the kind, the ones that are sprouting up in city parks, on bridge overpasses, at people's homes.

Post them here so. There are some scattered about FR that have been really great. Thought we could collect them here as our FR scrap book on the passing of a great president.

God Bless Ronald Reagan

Perhaps too busy still mourning the loss of his business partner Saddam Hussein, chief French quisling Jacques Chirac is not only refusing to attend former President Ronald Reagan's funeral on Friday, his government doesn't even list a representative who will attend.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder are the only G-8 leaders who have confirmed plans to attend. British Prime Minister Tony Blair is expected as well, along with former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Prince Charles.

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin says he will not attend and is sending Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson. Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is expected.

Others on the list for the ceremony include former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, Irish President Mary McAleese, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, South African President Thabo Mbeki, Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, Romanian President Ion Iliescu, Acting Lithuanian President Arturas Paulauskas, former Polish President Lech Walesa, former Finnish President Mauno Koivisto, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Australian Governor General Maj. Gen. Michael Jeffrey, former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, Slovakian President Rudolf Schuster, Grenadan Governor General Sir Daniel Williams, former Danish Prime Minister Poul Schlueter, Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Lars Engqvist and Indian External Affairs Minister K. Natwar Singh.

SANTA MONICA -- Ronald Reagan was remembered with jelly beans, flowers and American flags on Sunday at memorials in his hometown and outside the mortuary where the former president's body lay.

"Thank you for changing the world," said a handwritten note among the tokens of remembrance left in Santa Monica for the nation's 40th president, who was 93 when he died Saturday of pneumonia, as a complication of Alzheimer's.

Great Idea!

Here are several photos from AP News Service. They were taken at the Capitol Rotunda but would be nice to add to the scrapbook.

Thousands of Americans filed silently past Reagan's body at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday in an emotional outpouring of respect and affection for the 40th president of the United States.

Did you notice how most of those on the list are either our country' allies/friends or those President Reagan freed from communism?

Quite a tribute I would say. Sorry, no pics, just couldn't resist noticing the list.

Cheers!
