WITH reflection over the last week, of the events in the USA, that was covered by every media source, did without doubt cover every emotion.

On Sunday, I stood and watched the Red Arrows display, with my three and a half year old son Jak, and my mother.

A lump came to my throat when a fantastic display produced the Love Heart. I don't know if anyone else gave a thought for the people of America, the lives lost and families in total shock, over the events.

For our family a close relative was lucky to escape from the 81st floor of the North Tower, without harm, her own account of the disaster is horrific.

My heart goes out to all those people who have lost friends or relatives.

I hope my son grows up in a world with these problems sorted out, do we have a chance to do this, we will now see.
