Emotional but opportunity to pay respects to those in December 88 atrocity
Lockerbie Garden of Remembrance的点评
点评:First we visited Sherwood Crescent where a large section of the PAN Am plane destroyed No.13 and serious damage to nearby properties. The space has been turned into a pretty garden with a memorial stone, bench and pretty coloured shrubs that look lovely on an autumn day.
We then drove the short distance to the Lockerbie Dryfesdale Cemetery to visit the main memorial garden. There is a small car park outside of the gates. The Visitor Centre was closed at this time of year and its a 3 minute walk to the memorial garden towards the back of the cemetery. As some pictures show, there's a large memorial stone to all victims and individual headstones with inscriptions from a number of US families where remains of loved ones are interred. Seeing all of this shows the tragedy in its full light and the devastation caused to so many.
翻译:我们首先参观了舍伍德新月街,泛美航空飞机坠毁时,13号楼的大部分残骸被毁,附近的房屋也遭受了严重破坏。如今,这里已被改造成一个美丽的花园,园内设有纪念碑、长椅和色彩缤纷的灌木,在秋日里格外迷人。
之后,我们驱车前往不远的洛克比-德莱夫斯代尔公墓,参观了主纪念花园。公墓大门外有一个小型停车场。游客中心此时关闭,从停车场步行3分钟即可到达位于公墓后方的纪念花园。正如一些照片所示,这里有一块巨大的纪念碑,缅怀所有遇难者,还有一些刻有铭文的墓碑,上面安葬着许多美国家庭的亲人。亲眼目睹这一切,让我们真切地感受到这场悲剧的惨烈,以及它给无数人带来的毁灭性打击。
