Walked out to the headland today and came across several war memorials in a small area. This to the memory of those from the area killed in both World Wars was huge and stunning. All the more for being unexpected.

#TriviaTuesday this is the silver wreath of immortelles that Queen Victoria placed onto the colour pole that was discovered in the Buffalo River after the Battle of Isandlwana, 1879. She did so in memory of Lts Melvill and Coghill who died trying to save the colour. They were later awarded the VC.

If you live in the UK, ITV are showing the Disney+ Shardlake miniseries over the next four weeks, starting tonight at 9pm. Sadly the Mary Rose isn't in this one...

Mike Leigh's funny, touching comedy of torpor, 'Meantime' is on Talking Pics tonight at 9:05pm. Features wonderful early turns from Tim Roth, Gary Oldman & comparatively old-hand Phil Daniels. Fun fact: Roth's Colin was major fashion influence on Blur's Graham Coxon @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social
