I've never seen the square without it ... I guess only those living in Cairo can understand how this statue became part of Cairo culture. There were stories and jokes about it throughout generations. It was the first thing that greeted people from other towns and cities arriving in Cairo by Rail. I can understand why some got emotional. Especially at this time when so many changes are taking place in the region, it leaves some sense of abandonment. Some of the viewers were shouting "Don't leave us Grandpa" :-) Actually the crowd gathered to bid it farewell was the largest in Cairo for some 30 years.
Anyway, for the record, I was looking for anyone who has taken photos of the event. Couldn't find much on the web.
