Fifty years ago today the Berlin Wall was hastily constructed dividing East Germany from West Germany as Cold War tensions rose.
From its construction in 1961 to final collapse in 1989 it kept millions of Berliners apart from family and friends and more than 136 people were killed attempting to flee from one side to the other.
It doesn't seem like more than 20 years since the wall came down - scary how quickly time goes by!
