Grateful this year to have had the rare opportunity to attend both the Hiroshima 80th and Nagasaki 80th commemoration events this year - may these two cities be the last places on earth to experience such horror, suffering and devastation from a nuclear weapon attack.

Hiroshima.

At 8.15am on a Monday morning in August, their lives become fatally and

forever entangled."
