On
the day of his Gdansk concert, David Gilmour and his family joined with
Richard Wright, former Polish President (and founder of Solidarity) Lech Walesa, and
Mayor of Gdansk Pawel Adamowicz to honour those who died fighting for
their beliefs.
 The ceremony saw them laying wreaths for the fallen, at the monument for the shipyard
workers, and with much thanks to Mariusz Hirsz we can bring you two
pictures from the ceremony.
At a press conference last week,
David paid tribute to the Solidarity movement, and in particular, Lech
himself: "I am in awe of his achievements. I am only a pop musician."
Commenting on his concert being
part of the Solidarity anniversary celebrations, he modestly noted that
"it means a lot to me to take part in something that has changed the
world in an enormous way. I don't deserve it."
The concert that followed in the
evening concluded David's 2006 tour, and uniquely (due the size of the
expected audience - 100,000) featured six large video screens hung over
the stage, each focusing its attention on one musician.
 Initial reports suggest that
David and the band closed his tour with a storming show, and more
details of the event can be found on our Gdansk concert page.
Our thanks again to Mariusz for the pictures.
