In Honor of Mandela...

There have been quite a few dedications to Mandela today.  His memorial service in South Africa was widely attended by all sorts of international dignitaries.  I noticed that the media was already commenting on stupid things like who was sitting next to whom, who shook whose hand, who was taking pictures, etc.  They were interviewing MPs on the news today who were diagnosing/analyzing the smallest little things.  Why they can't go one day without all the shenanigans is beyond me.  Focus on the matter at hand and the reason you are all there.

At any rate, there was a little memorial set up around the Mandela statue on the Southbank (i.e. south of the river).

The display above the statue rotated with different quotes from Mandela.  It was a simple, yet classy, dedication to an amazing man.
