Holocaust victims remembered... the Roma population of northern France was rounded up by the Nazis and deported to the death camps.
The people taken from Poix-du-Nord have finally been remembered in recent years, thanks to mayor Jean-Pierre Mazingue. Look at the ages.

Questions and Answers Episode 45
In this latest Questions & Answers episode, we tackle some intriguing, and often misunderstood, aspects of life and fighting on the Western Front during the First World War. Who actually decided what a battle was called? Did the ordinary soldier know, at the time, which battle he was fighting in – or even when one battle had ended and another begun, during almost four years of near-continuous combat?

The Lillie Langtry pub, Sherwood Street, Nottingham is an early to mid 19th century building in stucco with a hipped artificial slate roof & rendered gable & ridge stacks which was called The Peach Tree up to 1981. It was a popular pub with theatre goers, hence the name & /1

Andy Burnham said he would serve the full term as mayor of Manchester.
This martyr act does not impress me, at all.
Why aren't UK journalists asking him about his promises to Mancunians?
The city of Manchester seems to be an after-thought.

Pics from 4 of the 5 biggest geomagnetic storms so far from Solar Cycle 25. Alas, it was midnight sun season and cloudy during the biggest storm of the cycle in May 2024.
As solar maximum wains, we will see less big displays, but I bet we have a few shows left.
