In London, there's a woman who goes every day on the
underground and sits on the platform just to listen to the announcement
recorded by her husband in 1950.
Margaret McCollum after the death of her husband
Oswald Laurence, sits on the bench waiting to hear this recording that became
one of London's most famous "Mind the gap"
In 2003, Oswald died leaving a huge void in Margaret's
heart. So Margaret found a way to feel his presence closest.
After more than half a century, this voice was
replaced by an electronic recording. Out of distress Margaret asked for this
cassette tape from London transport company so she could continue listening to
her husband's voice at home.
After becoming aware of the moving history, the
company decided to restore the announcement at the stop near where Margaret
lives,at the Embankment stop of Northern Line, where all passengers can listen
today and hear Oswald Laurence's voice and to think that eternal love really
exists.
Wonderful
gesture by the authorities
