In 1990, Dolly Parton went on vacation in Ireland.

She walked into a local pub in County Kerry and delivered a flawless performance of Coat of Many Colors.

A heart of pure gold who made people smile across oceans.

@Steve_Laws_ @HowardCCox You're going to need these normies to build a mass movement. Restore needs to be a broad church and as long as hardliners aren't kicked out it's fine . True believers will outlast the fainthearts .

It seems the old adverts are popular. So for your amusement, probably the funniest Hamlet cigar one. The Bobby Charlton comb over just only adds to it.

The ad was based on a sketch from the BBC Scotland show Naked Video, & the ad debuted in 1986.

In 1922 the British Empire was larger than at any point in history. It extended to 24 percent of the total landmass of the whole world. At this time, the government had 300-350,000 civil servants. They had no computers, no electric typewriters, no calculators. Calculations that would take seconds today would take minutes or hours. Research that would take seconds today would take days and yet those 300-350,000 were able to do everything necessary to run a quarter of the planet. Today the British government employs 557,000 civil servants with computers and modern technology to run only Britain. I can’t help thinking that maybe we’re employing too many civil servants.

York Minster ❤️

A stunning Gothic masterpiece that has stood tall for centuries.

It has survived fires, collapses, and centuries of change and still, it dominates the York skyline exactly as it was always meant to.

Nearly 1,400 years of history, in one building 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Caedmon’s Cross, situated at the summit of Whitby’s 199 steps, is a late Victorian Celtic cross erected in commemoration of the 7th-century Anglo-Saxon poet Caedmon, the earliest named poet in the English tradition.

Sunrise at Ribblehead 🌞

Before the first train crosses, before the fells fill with walkers, this is Ribblehead at its quietest.

Golden light creeping across the valley, mist still clinging to the ground and those 24 arches standing silent against the sky.

The noise when the second of his four goals went in against Stoke… one of the best moments and celebrations I can remember at Elland Road. What a day and first half performance that was. Hope Piroe does well again in the Champ. #lufc

Statues of Saxon Warrior Byrhtnoth on the Maldon promenade looking over to Northey island where the battle took place and also on the outside of the church on the High Street.

Ealdorman Byrhtnoth's army, which fought at the battle of Maldon, was mainly a militia force from Essex. At most perhaps 3-4,000 strong, it was raised following the Viking attack on Ipswich and marched to challenge the Viking forces as they advanced on Maldon. It is believed that the Viking boats landed on Northey Island to the east of Maldon and that the East Saxon army cornered them there. But it was high tide and so there was a shouted negotiation where Byrhtnoth refused to pay the invaders to depart but rather challenged them to battle.

As the tide fell the Viking force attempted to cross the causeway but a small band of Saxons held them back. Needing to bring the enemy to battle and defeat them, if he was to protect East Anglia from further destruction, Byrhtnoth withdrew and allowed the Vikings to across to the mainland. Formed up in a shield wall the Saxon army waited for the Viking advance. First the bowmen fired their arrows and then the rest of the infantry let fly spears as the enemy came closer. Finally they were locked into hand to hand fighting, thrusting with spears and slashing with swords.

The battle turned against the Saxons when their leader was killed. Once they realised their commander was dead most of the army seems to have fled to the woods behind them. But Byrhtnoth’s own retainers fought on to revenge his death, killing large numbers of the enemy before they too were cut down. So many of the Vikings were killed that, though they were victorious, they did not attack Maldon and indeed are said to have had trouble even manning all their boats to leave.
