Germany. Bavaria state. Munich. Michael Jackson memorial monument. After the King of Pop died in June 2009, ardent fans set-up a makeshift memorial at the base of a statue honouring the Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer Orlande de Lassus. The memorial monument has become a pilgrimage site for people to come and offer their respects to Michael Jackson. The memorial’s adorned with fresh flowers, candles, hearts, photographs and hand-written notes. Munich is the capital and largest city of the German state of Bavaria. 8.09.2014 © 2014 Didier Ruef
