Thousands mark fall of Berlin Wall
Updated on 09 November 2009
Thousands of cheering Germans have re-enacted the electrifying moment the Berlin Wall came crashing down - toppling 1,000 graffiti-adorned 8ft-tall dominoes that tumbled along the route of the now vanished Cold War icon, celebrating 20 years of freedom from separation and fear.
The spectacle - billed by organisers as a metaphor for the way the real wall came down and the resulting fall of communist countries in eastern Europe - was one of several events to mark the anniversary and celebrate the profound change it had not only in Germany, but Europe and the world.
Chancellor Angela Merkel - the first east German to hold the job - called the fall of the wall an "epic" moment in history.
