Christmas Crackers Photo Gallery

Peace Camp gave Christmas Crackers a warm welcome.

In the afternoon on Boxing Day 2006 there was still one candle burning in Front of the North Gate. It had been burning for more than 24 hours.

Giving best Christmas wishes of peace and disarmament.

No child shall ever share the fate of the children in hiroshima and nagasaki again.

Peace and merry christmas to people all over the world.

Best wishes for Christmas to the people working at the nuclear base.

In a more than symbolic act, water from the Urakami River, Nagasaki, was poured at the main entrance to the nuclear base in Faslane on Christmas Day 2006.

We remember:
"At the time of the Nagasaki bombing in 1945, between 15,000 and 16,000 Catholics - the majority of the approximately 20,000 people of that faith in Nagasaki and about half of the local population - lived in the Urakami district. It is said that about 10,000 Catholics were killed by the atomic bomb." (Source).

Christmas Crackers stopped singing Christmas Carols for a moment to think about the people of Nagasaki.

We know:
At Faslane Britain currently deploys four Trident nuclear submarines, equipped with US missiles and up to 200 warheads made at Aldermaston in Berkshire.

On Christmas we remember: On the 9th of August 1945, 70'000 people were immediately killed by one nuclear bomb. Many more were suffering the consequences and died later on.

Christmas Banner at Faslane Northgate.

This banner was painted this year by children in Nagasaki. It was given to help working on disarmament - especially on nuclear weapons.

Lightening a candle for Nagasaki.

Nagasaki was wan of the two japanese cities which have been nuclear bombed during World War II.
