2 May 1968. A full page advertisement in The New York Times, commissioned by a group of businessmen in the city, warned of the danger of a passenger plane hitting the proposed building of the Twin Towers in New York City’s World Trade Centre.
On May 1st, 1961, because of social justice or something, Fidel Castro banned multi-party elections and declared Cuba a socialist nation. And things have just gone *great* since then.
@Critic_GStewart probably exactly a year ago today
On May 1st, 1985, the Belgian terror group Cellules Communistes Combattantes set off a bomb outside of the Federation of Belgian Enterprises. Firefighters Jacques Van Marcke and Marcel Bergan were killed and over a dozen others injured.
@allanholloway His house is worth visiting - very interesting.
Happy Birthday to the man of the house!🎉 Today marks 255 years since the birth of Arthur Wellesley. In this portrait, Wellington wears his Field Marshal’s uniform which is currently on display in Soldierly Splendour: The 1st Duke of Wellington’s Military Uniforms.
@allanholloway @Free2BFreSpirit These are Elton's grandparents. Elton's father, Stanley wasn't born till 1925, so there aren't many records of him currently available. Roy Dwight was Elton's cousin, so I think his love of football comes from this side of the family. No idea about the musical gene, though.
@allanholloway @nickfshort I have a transcript of this quite extraordinary incident in my book. Churchill wanted to tear up his alliance with Stalin. Archie C K - a master at understanding human nature - persuaded him not to.
20 years ago today Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia joined the European Union, in its biggest enlargement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_enla…
@allanholloway @DPepys31853 He would also rename the “Surprise”, the ship which earlier carried him away to safety, just two hours before the New Model Army arrived on the coast to arrest and execute him, as “Royal Escape”. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMY_Royal…
"Delivered with flamboyance, [The Stalin Affair] features a sparkling cast of chancers, charmers, egotists and eccentrics with a ringside seat to world events... a fast-paced tale full of surprising details." A 5* review from @hoyer_kat in @TelegraphBooks @johnmurrays @HenryHolt
