What have the British ever done for us?
A 77 year-old British monarch is receiving a raptuous reception in the US. He's been mobbed at garden parties and received standing ovations from both houses of Congress.
This is not just curiosity and intrigue. It's respect and recognition of Britain's importance and the stability of its monarchical system.
And more broadly, it's recognition of all Britain has given the world. Not all perfect of course, but let's start with parliamentary democracy, common law, the English language, the industrial evolution, the laws of gravity and the theory of evolution, penicillin, computers and football, cricket, golf and tennis. Oh, and Shakespeare and The Beatles.
Then vs now: East Bank.
Over the last eight years, City Hall investment has helped build a world-class hub for culture, jobs and opportunity - now home to Sadler’s Wells East, V&A Storehouse, David Bowie Centre, London College of Fashion & more.
And from today, V&A East!
