February 9 The Royal Standard is somewhat hidden from regular passing traffic being located in the ‘back blocks' of William St at the very northwest end and within 50 metres of the QVM. Yet for a pub so close to town you will get a quizzical look of ‘Where?' when you ask someone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the early hours of the morning on the 28th of December 1997, 37 year old Deborah Steel left the Royal Standard pub in Ely where she was the landlady. She was heading to her home around a mile away. She would never contact her family or friends again and no one has seen her since. In 2014, her missing person investigation would be reclassified to a murder.If you have information about this please contact:Police on 101Crimestoppers: 0800555111Cambridgshire police: https://www.cambs.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/Important information provided by:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-29252566https://www.elystandard.co.uk/news/22765353.police-appeal-help-solve-case-ely-landlady-went-missing-20-years-ago/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-64002245https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/deborah-steel-missing-ely-landlady-14066874https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-32378089https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-29252566https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-29043818All contemporary articles: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/Music by: dl-sounds.comFollow the Unseen Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unseen-podcast/id1318473466?uo=4Follow the Unseen Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0xWK7Mu3bTP6oziZvxrwSK?si=QxvyPkZ2TdCDscnfxyeRawJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/unseenpodFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theunseenpodFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theunseenpod/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theunseenpod?fan_landing=trueSubscribe to 10 Minute True Crime: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10-minute-true-crime/id1591474862

On Wednesday, the body of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will travel in a public procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, carried on a gun carriage, with King Charles leading the procession behind his mother's coffin, which will be draped in the Royal Standard. Once in Westminster Hall, the coffin, topped with the Imperial State Crown, orb and sceptre, will lie in state for four days, with each corner guarded 24-hours-a-day by soldiers from units that serve the Royal Household. When the Queen Mother lay in state two decades ago, thousands lined to view her coffin. Many more mourners are expected to pay their last respects to our longest reigning monarch before the funeral on Monday. In this episode of the Fourcast we speak to our presenter, Cathy Newman, who broke the news of the Queen's death on Channel 4. We look back on the historic days we have witnessed since and ahead to a new era under King Charles. Sources: AP Producer: Freya Pickford

The handover ceremony marked the birth of the world's newest republic.The most easterly of the Caribbean Islands, Barbados was inhabited by its indigenous peoples prior to the European colonisation of the Americas in the 16th century. Under the command of Captain John Powell, the first English ship arrived in Barbados in May 1625 and its men took possession of the island in the name of King James I.

*) Barbados becomes world's newest republic Barbados has removed Britain's Queen Elizabeth as head of state, severing its last remaining colonial bonds nearly 400 years after the first English ships arrived at the Caribbean island. During the ceremony, the Royal Standard flag was lowered and the governor-general, Dame Sandra Mason, was sworn in as the nation's first president. Hundreds of people lined Chamberlain Bridge in the capital, Bridgetown to watch a dazzling display of Barbadian dance and music, complete with speeches celebrating the end of colonialism. *) Pentagon orders new probe into 2019 air strike in Syria The US defence secretary orders a review of air strikes in Syria that killed at least 70 civilians. In March 2019, US jets dropped two bombs on the town of Baghuz, along the Euphrates river. Washington said they were targeting Daesh, but a New York Times investigation published earlier this month found that mostly women and children were killed. *) Biden promises no new Covid-19 curbs in wake of Omicron panic US President Joe Biden has warned Americans not to panic about the new Omicron variant, as global concern is growing over the spread of the heavily mutated strain of Covid-19. Speaking at the White House, Biden said it was inevitable that the new variant would reach the US, but he also said the country has the tools necessary to protect Americans - particularly the approved vaccines and booster shots. Biden said he was not considering any widespread lockdown, and that the country is making contingency plans with pharmaceutical companies if new vaccines are needed. *) Myanmar junta court postpones verdict in Suu Kyi incitement trial A Myanmar junta court has postponed giving a verdict in the incitement trial of ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The court adjourned the verdict "until December 6," to allow testimony from an additional witness, Dr. Zaw Myint Maung, according to a legal official. The Nobel laureate faces three years in prison if found guilty of incitement against the military, as well as a catalogue of other charges that could see her jailed for decades. *) Sexual harassment widespread in Australian parliament One in three people working in Australia's parliament have experienced sexual harassment, an independent inquiry into parliamentary workplace culture found. The government-backed report found that more than half of the people who responded had experienced at least one incident of sexual harassment, bullying or actual or attempted sexual assault. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the findings were "appalling" and "disturbing" and called on parliament to clean up its act.

Hr Majesty was briefly hospitalized. Conspiracy theorists wonder why the Royal Standard was still flying over the palace. And is it time for the Queen to start slowing down?

How to recognize if the Queen is at home? ► The United Kingdom (UK), also known simply as Britain, is a sovereign country in western Europe and consists of four countries—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. That said, please note, wherever "Ireland" is mentioned in this episode we mean Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is a different country that has a border with Northern Ireland and is not in the Union. The Royal Standard is the Queen's personal flag and it can only be flown from places in which the Queen is present. With that said, if the Queen is in a car, that car will have the flag. If the Queen enters a building, the flag will be raised over the building. Basically, the Royal Standard is the Queen's personal flag. Simply put, it acts as a GPS: you find the flag, you've found the Queen, and vice versa. Do you prefer visuals?

Legendary darts champion Andy "The Viking" Fordham is as much known for his darts skills as he is for being the larger than life British sportsman the UK took to their hearts. Darts has taken him all over the world; parties in Vegas, beaches in Australia and many an hour in pubs across the land, which at one point saw him drinking over 80 bottles of beer in one night. A South East London boy, born and bred, this is recorded in Lisa and Andy’s mutual local pub, Blackheath’s The Royal Standard.   On this episode we cover:   Staying true to his South East London roots (Charlton born and bred) Finding fame strange But meeting lovely people Hating doing interviews!

We ve all heard about the Amazon Effect and how ecommerce is seriously disrupting the retail world. Savvy entrepreneurs are figuring out how to carve a niche for themselves, whether by offering unqiue products or that special personal touch you can t get online, creating a unique shopping experience , or, by creating a whole new business model. Mark Peirce is owner of The Royal Standard, a gifts, accessories and at one time antique furniture store. Mark and his wife Krista got into the business more than 20 years ago, selling European antiques. Over the years, as the market for antiques and the retail storefront model in general have changed, the Pierces have changed with it. Today, in addition to their two local Baton Rouge stores, they own three additional stores, an entire wholesale operation that supplies some 2000 retailers around the country with the thousands of products, gift items and womens apparel that they manufacture at one of three overseas factories. Meredith Waguespack is founder and CEO of Southern Football Tees, a homegrown company that first opened as an e commerce site in 2011 selling T shirts related to Meredith s passion football. As demand grew, SFT entered into more local boutiques and the designs started to evolve. Today, the company s tshirts are not just about football, they s reflective of Southern living, and they are sold online and in about 40 boutiques across Louisiana and the South.

The English Civil War was not seen by either the Royalist or Parliamentarian side as a war that would last too long. Open warfare broke out because King Charles I of England didn't call a Parliament for 11 years, until he needed money to fight a war in his other Kingdom, Scotland. Once called, Parliament attempted to impose many restrictions on Charles in the realms of politics, religion, and especially taxation. Charles tried to ignore them, to little effect. Yet it appeared neither side wanted a large scale military conflict. By 1642, the relation between King and Parliament broke down enough for each side to begin raising armies. The Royalists had an advantage in military leaders, while Parliament was able to get armories and weapons caches. In August of 1642, Charles raised his Royal Standard at Nottingham, essentially declaring war. Deciding to move towards London, Charles' army encountered a Parliamentary army at Edgehill in Warwickshire. The Royalists began with a successful cavalry charge, but the Parliamentarians countered with their infantry. Ultimately, the battle was a stalemate, which led to more inconclusive fighting that would go on for years.

  this time new episode by feb26th         A STORY OF THREE ROYAL BEHEADINGShttp: Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649[a]) was monarch of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649. Charles was the second son of King James VI of Scotland, but after his father inherited the English throne in 1603, he moved to England, where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the English, Irish and Scottish thrones on the death of his elder brother in 1612. An unsuccessful and unpopular attempt to marry him to a Spanish Habsburg princess culminated in an eight-month visit to Spain in 1623 that demonstrated the futility of the marriage negotiations. Two years later he married the Bourbon princess Henrietta Maria of France instead.           Charles was reserved (he had a residual stammer), self-righteous and had a high concept of royal authority, believing in the divine right of kings. He was a good linguist and a sensitive man of refined tastes. He spent a lot on the arts, inviting the artists Van Dyck and Rubens to work in England, and buying agreat collection of paintings by Raphael and Titian (this collection was later dispersed under Cromwell)   .This picture was commisioned by Charles   Finally, on 22 August 1642 at Nottingham, Charles raised the Royal Standard calling for loyal subjects to support him (Oxford was to be the King's capital during the war). The Civil War, what Sir William Waller (a Parliamentary general and moderate) called 'this war without an enemy', had begun. The Battle of Edgehill in October 1642 showed that early on the fighting was even. Broadly speaking, Charles retained the north, west and south-west of the country, and Parliament had London, East Anglia and the south-east, although there were pockets of resistance everywhere, ranging from solitary garrisons to whole cities.     On 20 January, Charles was charged with high treason 'against the realm of England'. Charles refused to plead, saying that he did not recognise the legality of the High Court (it had been established by a Commons purged of dissent, and without the House of Lords - nor had the Commons ever acted as a judicature). The King was sentenced to death on 27 January. Three days later, Charles was beheaded on a scaffold outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. The King asked for warm clothing before his execution: 'the season is so sharp as probably may make me shake, which some observers may imagine proceeds from fear   Horrible Histories: Slimy Stuarts: HHTV News: King Charles I's Execution www.youtube.com/watch?v Horrible Histories: English Civil War with Bob Hale =ZnbZE52wCRY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnbZE52wCRY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FyQnEDt7eA       Anne Boleyn From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other people named Anne Boleyn, see Anne Boleyn (disambiguation).

On October 6 of that year, a crowd of 10,000 gathered outside the Palace at Versailles and demanded that the king and queen be brought to Paris. At the Tuileries Palace in Paris, the always indecisive Louis XVI acted almost paralyzed, and Marie Antoinette immediately stepped into his place, meeting with advisors and ambassadors and dispatching urgent letters to other European rulers, begging them to help save France's monarchy. In January 1793, the radical new republic placed King Louis XVI on trial, convicted him of treason and condemned him to death. On January 21, 1793, he was dragged to the guillotine and executed. In October of that year, a month into the infamous and bloody Reign of Terror that claimed tens of thousands of French lives, Marie Antoinette was put on trial for treason and theft, Contents Synopsis Early Life Marriage to Louis Auguste Queen of France Death and Legacy as well as a false and disturbing charge of sexual abuse against her own son.
