Fall of the Berlin Wall remembered

People walk by the Brandenburg Gate and giant painted styrofoam dominoes standing in Berlin, Germany. More than 1,000 dominoes, which run along approximately one mile in the Berlin city centre, will be tipped over to symbolize the fall of communist governments throughout Eastern Europe in 1989. They are to be the highlight of celebrations in Berlin on November 9 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of fall of the Berlin Wall. (Getty Images)

SPOT POLL
