This is a harrowing, heartbreaking account from Sidney Williams, a 73-year-old WW1 veteran living at the Royal Star and Garter home in Richmond, about the trauma, pain, and regrets. He openly states that it wasn't worth it and that he wouldn't volunteer again. You can see and

One of Norfolk's finest medieval churches stands in the quiet village of East Harling. ⛪ St Peter & St Paul's Church is renowned for its stunning medieval stained glass and the remarkable alabaster tomb of Sir Robert Harling, who died fighting in the Hundred Years' War.

@StokeyyG2 But VAR did not check this. And to make things worse, the referee did not even give #him a yellow card at minimum

USA striker, Folarin Balogun, was sent off for serious foul play against Bosnia. He had a one game ban which was suspended for 12 months. England defender, Jarell Quansah, was sent off for serious foul play against Mexico. He’s been given an immediate two match ban. Madness.

FIFA have suspended England defender Jarell Quansah for two matches for his sending off in the Mexico win. The usual suspension is a single match ban. What an absolute disgrace.

Every evening, after a full day at school, I spend my time raising awareness and donations for Charlotte's BAG. I give my all to the students I support, and I give my all to the charity. After school today, hot and tired, I drove to the supermarket to buy provisions for Saturday's 50km walk. Every item was paid for personally because I never want anything to come out of the charity as expenses. That's the way we've always done things. This will be my tweet for tonight. charlottesbag.org

Hidden inside St Peter's Church, Little Rissington is a beautiful tribute to those who served. Dedicated on Battle of Britain Sunday in 1983, this memorial window honours the RAF and Commonwealth air forces stationed nearby.

You can watch The Town 👇 youtu.be/rHsnmKAP6Gw?is…

In 1957, Sam Peckinpah wrote an episode of Trackdown called The Town. The opening scene where an outlaw (played by Lee Van Cleef) kills his injured friend is repeated in Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969), only this time it's the "hero" doing it:

⚓🇬🇧🇳🇱 For 300 years, corsairs came to enslave Europeans. Not from a colony. From Europe's own coasts.🏴‍☠️ Spain, Italy, France, even Ireland and Iceland felt their reach. One historian's estimate puts the number enslaved above a million across the centuries. That figure is disputed. In both directions. What is not disputed: every government paid ransom, and paid again, and the raids never stopped. 🕊️ In 1816 Britain tried one more time, through words alone. The Dey of Algiers agreed to stop. For a while, it held. ⚡ Then in May 1816, around 200 fishermen under British protection were massacred at Bona. Britain had run out of patience. Admiral Lord Exmouth was given a fleet. And Britain did not sail alone: a Dutch squadron joined him, under Vice-Admiral van Capellen. British and Dutch, sailing as one force. 💥 August 1816. The combined fleet stood off the walls of Algiers. Exmouth sent his terms in. The Dey refused. At half past two, the guns opened fire. For nine hours, British and Dutch guns hammered the harbour defences. The corsair fleet in harbour was destroyed at anchor. Allied casualties, British and Dutch together, passed 900 killed and wounded. It was a hard fight, not an easy one. By morning the defences lay silent. Exmouth demanded surrender. The Dey accepted. 🔓 1,083 slaves were freed at Algiers itself. Men and women of many nations and many faiths. The Dey repaid around 80,000 pounds sterling in ransom money. Counting earlier releases that year, around 3,000 people walked free across all of 1816. Not walking free in a single day. Freed across the whole of that year. The treaty broke the back of a 300-year system. It did not end the raids overnight. Raiding returned in the years after, on a smaller scale. It was the French conquest of Algiers, from 1830, that finally ended it for good. Britain and the Netherlands had broken a system three centuries old. Not for empire. For people who had no one else to answer for them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ British and Dutch sailors stood against a system nobody else had stopped. Knowing their story, you stand a little taller.

Most people know Westminster Abbey... but have you visited Peterborough Cathedral? Less than an hour from London, this medieval masterpiece is home to an extraordinary Norman interior, one of England's most distinctive Gothic façades, and the tomb of Catherine of Aragon.

It's heartbreaking to see a church like this standing empty. 💔 After serving Bolton for over 100 years, St Peter & St Paul's Roman Catholic Church closed in 2010. Today it stands empty, its stunning Gothic architecture slowly fading with time.
