What does Europe mean to you?
It's quite emotional watching all the positive responses to this question
For me, it's still about peace
And as nationalism grows, this is more important than ever
What about you?

To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
