#OnThisDay 1798 General Humbert's mixed French & Irish force marched on Castlebar. Outnumbered 3:1 and withstanding artillery fire, Humbert's men defeated the Crown forces. The Crown fled to Tuam, some 30 miles away. This is known as the Races of Castlebar.

The Hillsborough disaster told through the eyes of Des Lynam, who was in the stadium that afternoon for the BBC.
This was broadcast in 2009 for the 20th anniversary. Both powerful and heartbreaking.
A day that nobody will ever forget. ❤️

This is absolutely mesmerising. An Assistant Purser who was on the Titanic as it went down relives the experience, back in 1979. Extraordinary story, beautifully told.
