Every year brings a new image.
Some are startling – some are disturbing.
A few, like the spotlights shining into the sky over New York remind us of the tragedies in our world and why we must never forget.
This selection is of the sadder images of 2011. The loss of Amy Winehouse and Steve Jobs, the death of an American Soldier with his dog.
We hope these images help you remember…and we promise to bring you some Happy and Funny photos from 2011 before the year is over…
