There is another royal connection today.

On 9 April 1483, the twelve year old Edward V succeeded his father, Edward IV to the throne. His Lord Protector, the Duke of Gloucester, soon found himself in the fortunate position: a sermon preached that the late Edward IV had been betrothed to another woman before marrying, rendering his children (the young king and his brother, the Duke of York) Fitzroys - illegitimate. Now, just 86 days later, the Duke of Gloucester, Richard III was King.

He duly made sure his young predecessor was properly supervised...by locking him and his brother in the inner reaches of Tower of London, where they had been living in the summer. They disappeared shortly afterwards, their bodies discovered some two centuries later. The Princes in the Tower.

I do wish her Maj would allow the two little skeletons that are believed to be the princes to be forensically examined.

I know that wouldn't help find out who did actually kill them, but it would be great if they could at least prove their identity, which is entirely possible now they have their uncles DNA.


How come she gets the say so?

She can do or say anything she wants. She owns everything, the country, swans, you & me, Kizzy, Camel, KMac, everyone & everything. 

A little more respect please, or you'll find yourself locked in a dungeon, possibly with an alligator.

By the King: “Whereas, some differences hath arisen between Our subjects of South and North Britaine travelling by Seas, about the bearing of their Flagges: For the avoiding of all contentions hereafter. We have, with the advice of our Council, ordered: That from henceforth all our Subjects of this Isle and Kingdome of Great Britaine, and all our members thereof, shall beare in their main-toppe the Red Crosse, commonly called St. George’s Crosse, and the White Crosse, commonly called St. Andrew’s Cross, joyned together according to the forme made by our heralds, and sent by Us to our ‘Admerall’ to be published to our Subjects: and in their fore-toppe our Subjects of South Britaine shall weare the Red Crosse onely as they were wont, and our Subjects of North Britaine in their fore-toppe the White Crosse onely as they were accustomed”. – 1606, ,James I

1997

Tiger Woods became, at 21, the youngest ever winner on The Masters, & he did so by a whopping 12 strokes.

What a journey he has had since then, one way & another. Who could have scripted that story?

I noticed last night he even has a bald patch now. The Seniors Tour beckons, Tiger.  

Life goes past so quickly.

Good thread Tikay, always good to look back on events, often surprising how quickly times goes on.
My local weekly  paper does bits from 25,50 and 100 years ago - always interesting.

Our local paper also did those, unfortunately rather upset my Nan a few years ago when one for 100 years ago referred to a couple of people being arrested (for very minor things) and she pointed out that it was her father and uncle. 
did not know we came from the wrong side of the tracks!

And presented by the previous winner Nick Faldo, probably the best golfer england has produced, who will I believe be making his final Open appearance this year as it is at St Andrews.

Yes. On the last transport.

1970

And in a rather different world, 15 years ago, this scary looking chap was sent to prison for the M25 Road Rage murder.

His wiki is a remarkable story. I have a sneaking admiration for the likes of the Krays, Richardsons, Freddie Foreman, Frankie Fraser, Joey Pile, & even the Train Robbers up to a point, but this man was different gravy.

1970


Apollo 13 suffered serious problems, well beyond the reach of the AA or RAC, but somehow, they limped home. Subsequently, numerous books, TV series, & even a film chronicled the whole story.






NASA HQ guided the wounded ship home, aided by all those state of the art computers
