God save the Queen. But may she save our children!, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

There is nothing stronger than the children tears to change something. They hold the future, they will shape the world and it is our responsibility to protect them, to prepare them a livable world.
I met this scene in Leicester Square, and I was deeply hit by this child, still sobbing, but with the Union Jack still in her hands. I do not know if she was English or a simple tourist, but when I saw the photo in my stream I thought:
“The Queen save the Children!”
