On Monday Germany will mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. There are loads of celebrations planned, which culminate in the "Festival of Freedom".
There will be heads of state and guests from all over the world, including the former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. There's even going to be a performance (I'm reliably informed) by "the Hoff" (David Hasselhoff), who remains enormously popular in Germany. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to turn up for the open air concert.
The main event, however, is going to involve giant dominos. Around 1,000 of the over-sized blocks will be knocked down a two kilometre route passing through the Reichstagsufer, the Brandenburg Gate to Potsdamer Plastz. It's designed to symbolise the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Here's a clip of the designers practicing with the huge blocks earlier this year:
