Today's quote

"The Madrileños heard the sound of steady marching feet; at first they thought that the Fascists had broken through the city’s defence, but then they heard the sound of a song that was becoming more and more familiar to their ears, as the columns marched along Gran Via towards the front. The song they heard was a song of defiance, and international solidarity and comradeship. It was “The Internationale”. The people listened and heard it sung not in Spanish, not just in another language, but in a variety of languages. The first of the International Brigades had arrived."

Michael O’Riordan (Irish volunteer)
