The sole medieval cathedral in England where you can see straight from the West door to the apse! I was a bit startled(!)
Few English cathedrals even have an apse, & most of those are obscured by a stone screen (Canterbury, Westminster). The one is St Paul's, which obv is later.

I was at the @ri_science this afternoon when an older visitor there collapsed, having fainted. (They're OK now.)
The RI staff were just fabulous 👏👏
If you are going to faint anywhere in London, be sure to do it there.

On 15/4/1945, British forces liberated Bergen-Belsen. They found around 60,000 prisoners in the camp, most of them seriously ill. Thousands of corpses lay unburied on the camp grounds.
Between May 1943 & April 15, 1945, between 36,400 & 37,600 prisoners died in Bergen-Belsen.

And if anyone is asking about Prince William being down at the pub with his mother-in-law, Carole Middleton, just know that he has an open schedule for the next month and a half. He doesn't answer to you, plebs.

This is genius. Making an everyday object such that it brings joy and humour 🤜🤛

What happens when you list your donors on the wall but then you get new ones? Well, here's New College, Oxford this morning installing the updated list.

I wonder whether there will be a mass at his funeral?

Not of sh*t into the sea:

Oxford University accepted a £10m donation that was “facilitated” by the president of Azerbaijan’s sister-in-law. The university is so insistent on keeping the donor out of public scrutiny that it is going to court to block a Freedom of Information request from openDemocracy.
