Did you make it as far as this #lighthouse over summer? Firmly planted on #Fastnet rock, the tower is a masterclass in nineteenth-century construction & engineering. It has survived storms that should by rights have wiped it off the face of the earth and come up asking for more!
We all have our views on the monarchy and its usefulness. But the Queen always carried out her duties with dignity. She made a very successful and reconciliatory visit to Ireland. She is 96, a mother and grandmother. Derogatory and sneering remarks on this forum appalling.
