flags

The flags outside the conference centre fly at half mast.

Dozens of street vendors — selling freshly made orange juice, ice cream, hot dogs and flags — walked with the crowd, and several bystanders filmed from their apartment balconies.

Children ran and played in the water, couples with full beach setups caught a slight buzz in the sweltering heat and American flags decorated the sands like a planet conquered.

Waving Georgian and EU flags, tens of thousands of protesters marched in central Tbilisi on Saturday.

Waving giant Palestinian flags and holding flares they shouted "we're blocking everything", then marched through a long tunnel which amplified their chants as police stood back and watched.
