Here is the response of Warwickshire County Council to the appalling footage taken from their recent meeting. Two of the three apologies are bewildering. Councillors Morgan and Golby now need to be sacked. https://t.co/LEIHqFCbcK
Imagine giving someone a knighthood for selling crap beer, microwaved food and putting the toilets in another postcode?
And then imagine NOT giving a knighthood to a man who has raised MILLIONS for a hideous terminal illness affecting his best friend.
Welcome to the UK. 🤬
Lilly grabbed the pen back from the dark narrative others had written & wrote her own instead. Her story is joy, love & light. Be like Lilly. Mazeltov x
Love the fact that he has been honoured but does anyone else think it should be SIR KEVIN SINFIELD? Can’t think of anyone more deserving. He has shown all of us the true meaning of friendship and raised millions for his pal and transformed awareness along the way.

Matthew Perrys death hits hard. Him being so public about his struggles with addiction and his healing has allowed others including myself to to talk about theirs. May his legacy continue. Long live Chandler ❤️🙏
On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.
None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.
The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.
Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.
A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.
On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.
On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:
"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".
On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.
There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.
Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.
A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.
He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.
The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.
It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...
THIS is the reason we wear poppies.
We do not glorify war.
We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.
Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
20 months sober. I couldn’t get 20 mins without a drink so to say I’m grateful is an understatement. If you are struggling then reach out to someone or DM me. I didn’t think there was life after drinking, I’m glad I was wrong. *This pic was not posed 😉🙏
