HAPPY COUNTY CRICKET DAY!!!

What is county cricket all about?

It’s about enjoying our incredible, silly sport in unique, storied venues the length and breadth of the land, becoming part of a community and sharing unforgettable moments with friends old and new. It’s gently tribal cricket that’s been passed down from one generation to the next.

The story of the game is woven with the thread of county cricket.

So cherish it, enjoy it, support it and help grow it! Help ensure it’s still there to be passed on, because it’s incredibly special.

I want the noise of him landing played at my funeral.

It's 50 years, this year, since we've had a film which depicts the Battle of Trafalgar. It's over a century since we've had a film that isn't based largely on Nelson's love life. With the 220th anniversary approaching it's time we had a true Trafalgar film.

#OTD in 1973, the BBC TV series WARSHIP premiered. Produced with the full cooperation of the Royal Navy, the drama depicted life on board the fictitious frigate HMS Hero. The show was shot primarily on HMS Phoebe and integrated actors with the actual ship's company.
