With prayers, music and pomp, Germany on Monday remembered the 20th anniversary of the day the Berlin Wall fell, sending East Germans flooding west and setting in motion events that soon led to the country's reunification.–AFP & Reuters Photos.


Tourists gather to see the individually painted dominos along the former route of the wall in front of landmark Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, as part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 2009. Some 1,000 giant dominos, many of them decorated by schoolchildren, will be toppled during the official ceremony.
