England - London - Clingfilm and railings memorial
A memorial has been placed where a young man called ‘Franklyn’ died on the Prince of Wales Road, London, England. If we drove past this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be a statistic but flowers are left to die too with touching poems written by family and loved-ones: “I will neva 4get U, love U enough will miss U loads/What hope for dead loved ones (From a left copy of The Watchtower).' From a project about makeshift shrines: “Britons have long installed memorials in the landscape: Statues and monuments to war heroes, Princesses and the socially privileged. But nowadays we lay wreaths to the ordinary who die suddenly - killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on our roadsides and in cities with simple, haunting roadside remembrances.
