FACT OF THE DAY. 27 July 2012. The spectacular Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics took place in the Olympic Stadium in London. It was directed by Academy Award-winning British film director, Danny Boyle. Newspaper reviews praised it as a “masterpiece” and “a love letter to Britain”.

The bow of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic exploration ship 'The Endurance', photographed in colour shortly before it sank in November 1915. The man with the camera is crew photographer Frank Hurley.
I've cleaned & enhanced the shot, but it is an original colour paget plate and not colourised.

Taken exactly 97 years ago this month - in June 1928 - this beautiful autochrome study of a German garden in Baden is a wondrous riot of colour. I just love the 'twenties outfit with cloche hat and aqua marine scarf! It is all original colour, not colourised. 😍

I have cleaned-up this autochrome of a (possibly Cree) First Nation family, photographed in colour 111 years ago on the bank of the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. It was taken by the German photographer Hugo Viewegar in 1914. It is original colour, not colourised.

Great photo from Chris George of HRH Princess Anne taking the royal salute outside the new gallery in #Sark #ChannelIslands, then we had a street party to celebrate 80 years since Liberation. Getting the community behind this gallery project has been wonderful to do over the last year. #art #royal

WW2TV & HISTORY UNDERGROUND VISIT GUERNSEY & ALDERNEY. GREAT FOOTAGE FOR YOU TO WATCH!
A few weeks it was great to welcome Paul Woodadge and Mag from WW2TV along with JD from History Underground to Guernsey. They live streamed some videos as well as recording some other video for future use. They had lots of activities organised for them by Visit Guernsey but on their afternoon off I showed them around a few places. The video below is talking about Operation Anger & Operation Ambassador and how Al Murray challenged the view that Ambassador was a disaster when Nick met him in September.
