King Charles I Return @kingcharlesireturn.bsky.social · 2d

Was an honour to finally see the Mary Rose wreck site from Southsea Castle in the expert company of Mark Havey manager of Southsea Castle.
Moment had long dreamed of.
Hardly a breeze on top, unlike one of several previous attempts to get to a viewpoint when castle out of season. Truly meant to be!

For years dreamt of overlooking site where Mary Rose was raised. Past attempts to visit Southsea Castle timed badly. Yesterday stars aligned, got my moment. Coincidentally on anniversary witnessing the warship coming up on BBC tv as a child.

Pleasure to meet Mark Havey manager of Southsea Castle.
Thank you for your great tour around such oustanding history (we are stood below coat of arms of Charles II).
A heartfelt moment for me to finally see, stand at viewpoint, overlooking where Mary Rose sank ✝️

Just coincidence wearing a t shirt with CR initials of King Charles I, Carolus Rex watching Level 42 in concert last night. 🤔
By the way, they were outstanding!

A nearly 400 year old read from 1626. Wish I knew what it says.

Rare you will see a 17th century King smile. A regal stance to maintain. Although of course they did. Meeting the charismatic
Professor Baroness Sue Black, President of St John’s college #Oxford on my visit, a joy 🌹

Sometimes wish i could step into a painting and experience the atmosphere of a place that no longer exists..
Woodstock Palace, now but a stone marking where it stood.
If only...
