Official Programme for Madiba Mandela's Memorial~

[Cha]

15. Thank you for this, she.. I meant to

answer it earlier and then the phone rang.

It's sweet and tearfully emotional just reading about it! I can imagine the Memorial~

From your link..

"Every living American president is expected to attend, health permitting, along with foreign dignitaries ranging from Prince Charles to the Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe. Celebrities who considered themselves close to Mandela, such as Oprah Winfrey, are also set to fly in.

All this spells an unprecedented planning and security nightmare for South Africa at the very moment that it is plunged into mourning for its father figure. The country is likely to come to a virtual standstill for two weeks as Mandela's death is marked in various ways; some of them spontaneous and impossible to predict.

"He is the hero of the planet," a senior foreign diplomat said. "It's going to be the biggest state funeral since Winston Churchill, and I think any country would struggle to organise that."

As it should be, she, and how wonderful it actually is!
