Poland and the Winged Hussars saved Vienna on this day in 1683 from the Ottoman siege.

Once upon a time, a nation called Persia gave shelter to 4,000 Muslims.

Remembering all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11, 25 years ago today.
A commemorative Guard Change took place on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace this morning, during which The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester took the Royal Salute on behalf of The King.
The ceremony included performances of both US and UK National Anthems, Hymn to the Fallen and Amazing Grace.
Earlier this year, Their Majesties paid their respects at the 9/11 Memorial in New York, as part of the State Visit to the United States.
Just so we're clear...
We've had years and years of Islamist thugs roaming our streets masked up, Muslim women in burqas and left wing mobs hiding their identities.

Where was that passion before?
Labour, Reform, Tories. The police, the media.
Now is when they all passionately agree that face coverings are unacceptable and must be banned?
Our establishment is rotten to the core and must be replaced.
