In 1988-ish they set a park in the area, and in 2006 they built a statue to commemorate the two girls - they are holding hands, dancing on Lillies. A doll lies near the statue.
In 2012 they used ground radar to find their graves. They found the girls' descendants too 3/?

So I liked #moonraker. I saw bits of it as a child, and it fascinated and repelled me (pretty violent for a kid). Still, Jaws was cool, the sci fi stuff was fun, and its periodic silliness (most of it Jaws-related) mostly worked. #Bond

I'm listening to #MyChemicalRomance, the #BlackParade album.
There is so much music I would loved if I'd had it when I was younger! Teenage me would have thought this was so deep and edgy

I'm cooking on a gas stovetop by the light of a baptismal candle. It's a weird evening #cyclonealfred

Just saw #Robocop 3. I didn't realise Frank Miller wrote the screenplay. Which doesn't explain why it was awful.
The first movie was such a smart film. They just could not reproduce the intellect in the sequels - or they didn't try

I'm reading #Cerebus, the comic. It may have been groundbreaking, but it's not that good. Bits are fun, but it meanders so much that it doesn't make much sense beyond the broad strokes. It rivals Game of Thrones for dropped plot lines and sudden 180-degree character shifts.

I'm watching the old James #Bond film #LiveAndLetDie.
I assume its full title is "Live and Let Die: Black People are Scary"

I've discovered this radio play by #JemaineClement - The Mysterious Secrets of Uncle Bertie's Botanarium.
It's a ridiculous adventure in the mould of Around the World in 80 Days.
"Hello sir, can I get you a drink?"
"I don't know. What do I usually have?"
"The usual."
"One usual please."

I've only played it for 30mins but I can already tell it's a great little game! It's a two-player platform/puzzler, where the emphasis is on co-operation. It's really fun to play local with your kid, but maybe not if there's just been a divorce 😅 #ittakestwo #gaming

I see why that would make him a superior choice to, say, Marcel Duchamp.
