Messages written in memory of loved ones who have died went up in flames in Londonderry , Northern Ireland . Temple took two months to build and artist David Best said he hoped it would ease the pain of the bereaved . Around 60,000 people visited the 70ft hand crafted tower carved out of plywood before it was set alight . Some of the messages inside the structure were about people who had died during the 30 year conflict . Presbyterian minister Reverend Graeme Orr said he feared the burning could leave people open to Satan .
