Sarah has asked us to tell you all about the tribute in London which is taking place on Michael’s birthday this year.

“MEET UP at Trafalgar Square, London, to celebrate Michael’s music and dance on the day that would have been his 51st birthday. Dress for the occasion! If you can, wear the trademark arm-band that Michael wore as a symbol of the suffering of children around the world. We will celebrate with dancing and singing. I have Maya Angelou’s Poem “We had him”, this will be played whilst we honour Michael with silence and contemplation, toward the end of the event at Trafalgar Square.

First Verse, I find the wording apt.

You know it doesn’t make much sense

There ought to be a law against

Anyone who takes offence

At a day in your celebration

‘Cause we all know in our minds

That there ought to be a time

That we can set aside

To show just how much we love you

And I’m sure you will agree

It couldn’t fit more perfectly

Than to have a world party on the day you came to be.

We will all light our candles on our cake’s, together we will sing Happy Birthday, blow out of candles and make our own private wishes for Michael, his beautiful children and his family.

BRING WITH YOU IF YOU CAN:

BANNERS!

BALLOONS!

BIRTHDAY CARDS

INDIVIDUAL BIRTHDAY CAKES AND A CANDLE!
