Amongst young people dressed in AUF t-shirts, Norwegian and Irish flags and red roses, Christy Dignam, also dressed in a red AUF t-shirt, touched everone’s heart strings, when he started singing ‘Crazy World’. He dedicated the song to all the young victims of the Utøya shooting on the 22nd July.
As soon as the song started, everyone raised the rose they’d been given at the door and seeing the sea of roses swaying in the room was a breathtaking moment for people there.
