live8 - nations coming together to end poverty


It's Live8 today and there are concerts going concurrently in 9 different cities, London included. Me+sis didnt manage to get tickets for the concert in the Hyde park but hey, i'm happy to watch it at home... imagine standing there from at least 9am - 9pm, can die ah. So anyway, i took some screen shots

Chris Martin from Coldplay is really good live and there to support him was Gwyneth+daughter Apple who looks soooo cute in sound mufflers

really blur pic of mother+child but they just make you go 'awwwwww'

the crowd as seen from the stage

bird's eye view of the 200,000 strong crowd in Hyde Park. If you think this looks massive, i heard that the crowd in Philadelphia is 1.5 million strong!!!

Massive gossip!!! Angelina Jolie was at the concert that took place at Cornwall and i was like 'oooooh'. I certainly didn't expect that Brad Pitt was later up on stage in Hyde Park to welcome on Annie Lenox! I'm getting all excited at the thought that they are in the UK at the same time! It has to be more than just for publicity etc.

I sure hope that with all this awareness raised, that the G8 summit will end with some good decisions made. It's really time for the world to end poverty, especially when the world has the means (financially+logistically) to. Just have to keep my fingers crossed that corruption will not stop the cause to end poverty forever.
