We wanted to show our respects at the CTV Site. We crossed the road from the ‘Cardboard Cathedral’ leaving it over our right shoulder.

The saddest sight was looking down at the CTV parking spaces.

We crossed the road once more to see the one hundred and eighty five white chairs.

The car seat is a very poignant reminder that the youngest killed was just five weeks old.

Bear found the chair that spoke to him most, it was a spongy one and he got very wet...........

We spent time sitting as dusk fell. The ‘Cardboard Cathedral’ in front of us and the CTV site diagonally opposite to the left.

Behind the White Chairs was a small cardboard turret, there we read the names of all who perished.
