It was a once in a lifetime experience when I witnessed how a nation responded to the end of a war which had plunged it into fear, suffering and poverty for 30 years.
People, including Tamils, poured onto the streets in spontaneous celebrations across Sri Lanka, ecstatic that the long dark night had finally come to an end.
I was overjoyed to share their happiness, and see history being made at the same time.
It must have been an unimaginable experience for you to share the joys of the Sri Lankans on Victory Street. Do post more pictures.
