@pjgallagher Newspaper owner Sir Ray Tindle (my old proprietor) was a pioneer supporter of defibrillators and funded many throughout the areas covered by his publications. I’m retired now so there’s no gain for me in saying this. But on this well done Sir Ray
@andyfev I have visited my great uncle’s grave in Gorre, France. He was killed in 1916 aged 20. The inscription on his headstone is very moving, as of course they all are. How can I find out if it was chosen by his mother please? Any help greatly appreciated.
@OnthisdayRN@HMNBDevonport After being built at Devonport, HMS Plymouth did indeed see action in the Falklands including attack damage. After being decommissioned around 1990 there was a long and passionate local campaign to bring her back to the city which failed. I believe she was scrapped abroad
RIP Michael Collins, 90.
Pilot of Apollo 11 on the historic first lunar landing flight.
He didn’t get to walk on the Moon like Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin, but none of them would have got there & back without him. He described Earth as looking “Serene and fragile."
