Hi !
A 'Union Jack' flag which , up until near the end of the above-mentioned British Embassy picket had been located in the vicinity of the protesters , caught fire and those present were unable to 'save' it....
A full report , and better photographs , will be published in the May 2010 issue of'Saoirse' , which goes to print on Wednesday , the fifth of that month.
Thanks!
