We sadly lost our @FIFAWorldCup-winning captain Bobby Moore OBE 32 years ago today.
You’ll never be forgotten, Bobby ❤️

5 February 1945. Ravensbrück concentration camp. Special Operations Executive agents, Violette Szabo, Denise Bloch and Lilian Rolfe are taken from the punishment block and informed by camp commandant, Fritz Suhren, that they have been sentenced to death. Taken to the execution alley near the crematorium, they are shot in the back of the head. 1/4
Couldn’t agree more. The unifying, rallying spirit it fosters is being thrown away. Sort it out @Arsenal
Why has The Angel been changed to start when we've kicked off. We've been gifted a Wonderful Anthem by @LouisDunford that was working fantastically whilst the boys were in the huddle, followed by the roar. Now the games going on and it fizzles out. Please go back to what it was.
Striking bin workers at Lifford Lane tip in Birmingham say the city council’s pressing ahead with “reckless” cuts. The council says it’s acted quickly to “minimise uncertainty” for those affected. Residents face 12 days of strikes @bbcmtd bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crk0…

This is a letter written on Christmas Day in 1932 from 14 year old Daisy Chance who grew up in the Nottinghamshire mining village of Stanton Hill the same village I grew up in 40 years later. She wrote the letter to people living in the future.

The Bullring carpark is full, but dozens of cars are still waiting to get in, meaning buses can’t stop at the markets, and causing long delays on approaches.
Lots of debris, several dozen trees down and damage to an old chapel following what appears to have been a tornado in Kidsgrove, Staff’s
A true heroine who gave her life for freedom
Looking forward to the event at the @RAFMUSEUM today as the #GeorgeCross awarded posthumously to #WWII heroine #NoorInayatKhan goes on display. I will be doing a Q&A with her cousin Shaikh Mahmood at the launch. It's going to be very special. #SpyPrincess #WAAF #SOE

Today, I learned the terrible news. Our colleague, journalist Victoria Roshchyna, died in Russian captivity.
I have a question. What did they do with her? What could have been done to a young girl to make her die? I call on all journalistic organizations from different countries to officially demand an answer from Russia.
Vika, you were so brave. I'm so sorry we didn't free you on time…
The bravest of the brave. May they rest in peace

#OTD in 1944, SOE agents Eliane Plewman (26), Yolande Beekman (32), Madeleine Damerment (26) and Noor Inayat Khan (30) were executed at Dachau concentration camp. Made to kneel, they held hands as they were shot in the back of the neck.
