This week was so busy… I am glad it’s Friday!

Unfortunately I couldn’t post pictures from the City in the last two days because I had some business and personnal affairs during lunch time.

But today I finally went to the place I was looking forward to go! The Postman’s park!

Graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars, Postman’s park.

It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street and it’s got my attention because the park features in the film Closer, one of my favs.

Remember Natalie Portman’s character (I love her!) real name on the movie was not Alice? She takes her pseudonym Alice from one of the painted tiles located in this park.

Alice and Dan (Jude Law’s character) were on the way to his office after she left hospital, when they stop by Postman’s park, and he asked for her name. She was staring at the tiles and saw Alice was a girl who saved 3 children from a burning house - at the cost of her own life… and so she said her name was Alice. Beautiful, isn’t it?

The memorial in the park was created to celebrate the heroism of people who may otherwise have been forgotten. I think it’s very poetic!

The park Dan and Alice walk through is Postman’s Park in London.

Postman’s Park was created in 1880!

Celebrating the heroism of people who may otherwise have been forgotten, such Alice Ayres.
