She wore red roses in her hair, he donned his huge orange sunglasses — Myanmar’s democracy icon met one of her biggest fans, U2 frontman and activist rock star Bono yesterday. “I’m star-struck,” admitted the Irish singer, who has long supported her freedom struggle and dedicated the song Walk On to her, when they met at a peace forum in Oslo, Suu Kyi’s latest stop on a five-nation Europe tour.

It’s a beautiful day: Bono and Aung San Suu Kyi exchanged praises for each other when they met. The singer said that he was star struck to meet her, while Suu Kyi said that the world needed more Bonos. Pics/AFP
