With this policy though you might see an uptake in citizenship. Those affected might just go ‘I’ll finally get round to applying for citizenship’ if on ILR. For some that won’t work but for many others it will.

I think also press despatches & photos too. Looks like ‘Press’ written on one of the bags.

Lovely visit to Anglesey Abbey (near Cambridge) in the sun today. A thoughtful exhibition about Lord Fairhaven & his sartorial choices was enlightening! #TailoringAnImage @nationaltrust.org.uk

They still exist in many areas. Very active in smaller towns in Bedfordshire for example.

The amazing 1912 Blackburn Monoplane at last week’s Summer Air Show at Old Warden. The oldest British built aircraft still flying! @shuttleworthtru.bsky.social

What a great show it was! Managed to capture this one of the BBMF Lancaster too.

I wonder if she was shown/taught any weapons handling?

Jonathan Woodhead @jonathanwoodhead.bsky.social · Jun 25

I think that combined with the geodetic pattern is a nod to the aircraft types (Halifax & Wellington at least).

Jonathan Woodhead @jonathanwoodhead.bsky.social · Jun 24

I don’t mind it although its location is a bit odd. Aluminium from an RCAF Halifax was used in the roof is a good touch though.

Impressive War Memorial in the ICE in Westminster today @britwarmemorial.bsky.social #FirstWorldWar

I agree - very impressive. I believe there is a removal date for poppies (from Remembrance Sunday) but of course others may be added in the year for VE/VJ etc.

OTD 85 years ago. My Gt Uncle Jack as Coxswain of HMS Gulzar (pictured) rescued the last 47 British troops from Calais under gunfire. A day later he took part in Op Dynamo at Dunkirk rescuing 500. #Dunkirk85 #Dynamo
