Winston

Apparently Winston Churchill was knighted on this day in 1953. Amazing that it took so long to knight him after 1945 when today if you win a bit of cricket or an Olympic event your knighthood seems guaranteed!

Ernest Shackleton made his escape from Elephant Island on this day in 1916. There's a man who deserved a knighthood or two...!

Pens rather than pencils today. I prefer pencils.. Kids these days.. Who purchased these new devices? Oh... I see.
