Wars

During WWII, Jews in Budapest were brought to the edge of the Danube, ordered to remove their shoes, and shot, falling into the water below. Sixty pairs of iron shoes now line the river's bank, creating a ghostly memorial to the victims. This memorial is known as 'Shoes on the Danube Promenade' and was created by Can Togay and Gyula Pauer.

'Whatever' is 26 years old today! Released to fill the gap between 'Definitely Maybe' and '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' the track debuted at no.3 in the UK Charts, and became the band's first ever top 5 single.

In 1839, Robert Cornelius took the first ever selfie. Due to the long exposure time, he was able to set up the camera, uncover the lens and then run into shot.

In 1961, a woman from Cheshire went missing, but the case soon went cold. 22 years later, a body was pulled from a nearby peat bog; thinking he'd been caught, her husband confessed to killing her and throwing her in the bog. Later analysis showed the remains were 1600 years old.

101 years ago today: 11am on Tuesday 11th November 1919, crowds in London observe the very first 2 minute silence for those killed in the Great War. The men have removed their hats out of respect for the fallen. (I originally coloured this photo for the Evening Standard in 2019).

The first-ever mobile phone call was made to another lab trying to develop a mobile phone - the scientist in charge called up his rival to say "Joel, I’m calling you from a ‘real’ cellular telephone. A portable handheld telephone." His rival hung up without speaking.

Since 1936, the Haribo factory has let children pay for gummy bears with acorns and chestnuts; the most up-to-date exchange rate for 1kg of sweets is 10kg of chestnuts or 5kg of acorns. The nuts are then used as feed at wild animal parks.
