The First Night of The Proms ended with an amazing oratorio I'd not heard of, Sancta Civitas by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The text is taken from The Book of Revelation. Themes explored decades later by Peter Gabriel (Supper's Ready) & centuries earlier by JMW Turner. #BBCProms

Following my post earlier today as to how a Vaughan Williams oratorio ties in with Peter Gabriel, here's the album which includes Supper's Ready. #SundayProg

21 July 1897. National Gallery of British Art was founded. In 1932, it was renamed the Tate Gallery after the sugar magnate Henry Tate, head of sugar manufacturer Tate & Lyle, who was its major financial benefactor.

The future Henry V received a nasty arrow wound to his face but it was in this battle that he first displayed his ability as a military leader.

#8 Let it Bleed (1969). No set day. No comments. Just album artwork, the year of release and a listen. #TheRollingStones

Remember; you don't have to suffer alone, there's always someone you can talk to. Here are some UK phone numbers where you can find help.

22 July 1812. British forces led by Arthur Wellesley (later Duke of Wellington) defeated French troops at the Battle of Salamanca during the Peninsular War in Spain. The battle established Wellington as an effective offensive general.

22 July 2012. Bradley Wiggins (aged 32) became the 1st British cylist to win the Tour de France. He finished with a winning margin of 3 minutes and 21 seconds after ending Sunday's race around the streets of Paris in the peloton.

Kurtley Beale captaining First Nations Pasifika against the British and Irish Lions. He was as annoying as hell playing for Australia but I loved him when he was playing for #Wasps. #Lions2025

Remembering when I met #Ozzy and his band on the day of his first solo show in Liverpool. The album Blizzard of Oz had not long been released. #OzzyOsbourneRIP

Good morning everyone! ##HumphDay #Hereslookingatyoukid #casablanca

Day One. They won't be back out so that's stumps. On the face of it it's honours even but Pant retired hurt with a nasty foot injury. Could really be five down.#ENGvsIND

With a cast including Hal Holbrook (Deepthroat in All The President's Men) from 1973 here's this week's #MidweekMovie 🎥🎬

24 July 1969. Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin returned safely to planet Earth, then underwent a 21-day quarantine in an isolation chamber to assess their health and monitor unexpected after effects. US President Richard Nixon greeted them.

24 July 1980. Peter Sellers died (aged 54). He starred in the 1950s cult BBC Radio series The Goon Show and became known worldwide through his film roles, most notably, in Dr Strangelove, What’s New Pussycat? and as Chief Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther series of films.

An absolute comedy classic.

The more you see Pant's injury the more you have to blame his choice of shot. May not have happened to a more conservative player. Rumoured to not be on the ground for Day 2. #ENGvsIND

A memory from the Second Test, Old Trafford 1990. Part of the India coaching team - the great Bishan Singh Bedi. #ENGvIND

Wicket falls and Pant hobbles to the middle. India 314-6. ##ENGvsIND
