A glimpse of Britain before the Cultural Revolution, a world so different from today that many would not believe it if they could be transported back to it. Yet it existed. Those who lived then could not (cannot) easily believe what we have since become.

If you are gay, bi, transsexual or whatever, I don’t care. You have pride to celebrate who you are. I find it selfish and disgusting that you want to put your own brand on the poppy. STOP it, the poppy represents those who died for this country. SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT!

Throwback to the 1989 World Matchplay on the European Tour at Wentworth. Faldo hit a baby fade with a 1-iron and balata into 18 to make an eagle and defeat Ian Woosnam. He played the last 7 holes in 7 under. This was elite ball striking on full display!

Never forgotten. @HMSLANCASTER honoured nine men killed when their Lynx crashed in May 1989 during the frigate's visit to #Kenya.🇬🇧🇰🇪 The service was particularly emotional for one sailor - who visited his father's memorial for the 1st time.

Don’t leave Twitter. Flood it with your interests. Art, History, Cinema, TV, Politics, Theatre, Literature, Gaming, Holidays, Nostalgia, Memes. There are many here happy to engage civilly, to listen and debate. Don’t leave this space to bile, hate & nihilism. Pass it on.

I’ve been doing this for 7 years now and seen lots of photos of sailors that make me proud. Of all of them though, none sum up Jack as much as this. Taken in Plymouth when the crew of HMS EXETER returned from the Battle of the River Plate. Duty, mischief, charm and pride.
