PAMPLONA, Spain - Thousands of revelers raised candles and red scarves in the air and swayed back and forth as they sang a mournful song to mark the end on Sunday of Spain's famous annual bull-running festival, which saw eight daredevils gored this year.
"Poor me, poor me, the San Fermin fiesta has come to an end," the crowd sang just after the stroke of midnight in front of city hall in the Plaza Consistorial as fireworks lit up the sky.
"People of Pamplona, the San Fermin festival is over, the best festival in the world," Pamplona Mayor Enrique Maya said from the balcony of city hall to cheers from the crowd just before the singing began.
