Remember before God King Richard III who died bravely at Bosworth OTD 1485. The City of York recorded "King Richard, late mercifully reigning over us, was through great treason . . . piteously slain and murdered, to the great heaviness of this city" Rest in peace my King.

Back home after a week in Co Durham, the land of my fathers. I am the 1st male of my father's line not to have been born in and around Durham city for over 250 years. Some highlights of my trip. (Durham Cathedral, Escomb Saxon church, Barnard Castle, Souter lighthouse)

My church choir welcoming our (long overdue) new robes.

Fascinating walk along the largely subterranean rivers Porter and Sheaf to the Sheffield Megatron yesterday.

Catch us in action this Saturday when a group of us are singing at the wedding of one of our sops, Victoria, at Sheffield Cathedral at 1430.#sheffieldsroyalwedding

Still my favourite work in the whole classical (ok it's baroque) genre.

The old and the new Sheffield Cathedral

The famous 19th century radical James Montgomery. As well as editing The Iris, a radical Sheffield newspaper, he also wrote the words to Hail to the Lords Anointed and Angels From the Realms of Glory. He set this to a French tune he re-named Iris. Statue in the cathedral grounds.

Ancient evidence of the last time #lufc scored from a corner found in France...

Just finished the 8th book of Master Mercurius and his adventures by Graham Brack . What a tour de force. So witty, erudite, entertaining. Some laugh out loud moments "Amsterdam...is like Gomorrah but with architecture". A brilliant series. Hope there's more to come!
