This ComIllission was presided over by the Right Honourable ,Sidney Herbert, afterwards Lord Herbert of.

  • A Service of Thanksgiving to Mark the 70Th Anniversary of Ve
    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING TO MARK THE 70 TH ANNIVERSARY OF VE DAY Sunday 10 th May 2015 11.00 am FOREWORD Welcome to Westminster Abbey for this service of thanksgiving and commemoration on the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe. The Abbey played a full part on the day itself. After making his public broadcast officially announcing Germany’s total surrender, the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill MP, went to the House of Commons to make a short address and then moved that the House attend at the Church of St Margaret’s, Westminster, the Parish Church of the House of Commons, to ‘give humble and reverent thanks to almighty God for our deliverance from the threat of German domination.’ The House then rose and followed the Speaker to the Church. In Westminster Abbey itself, on VE Day, short services of thanksgiving were held every hour from 9.00 am to 10.00 pm. An estimated 25,000 people attended during the day, with the Lord Chancellor and House of Lords attending at 3.00 pm. The short services offered ‘high praise and thanksgiving to the God of all mercies for the success which He has granted to us and to our Allies: for the faith which has upheld us through the years of danger and suffering; for the skill of our leaders and the valour and steadfastness of sailors, soldiers and airmen; for the hope that we are about to enter upon a righteous and abiding peace; for the holy memory and high example of that great company of men and women, known and unknown, whose faith and courage God has inspired and used.’ A service was also held on the following Sunday, 13th May, when the standards of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were laid on the High Altar to symbolise the loyalty of the whole Empire during the war.

Designed for pre-school and primary school children, the Kizon allows the child to call their parents’ preconfigured number by pressing a button, or accept calls from their parents with the same button. If they fail to press it within 10 seconds the device will automatically let the caller listen in to the machine’s built-in microphone. Not everyone thinks it’s such a great idea. Privacy group Big Brother Watch says LG must make clear how the device’s security system guarantees no one other than the parent has access to the child’s whereabouts online. And it raises another question: at what age are you preventing your children from learning to cope on their own? “New technology has a way of throwing up parenting challenges that get right to the heart of the line between being responsible for your children and invading their privacy,” says Justine Roberts, founder of a support site for parents called Mumsnet.

  • The British Military Music Archive – an Introduction
    The British Military Music Archive – An Introduction A compilation of some of the rarest recordings of British military music recently discovered and re mastered by The British Military Music Archive (BMMA) BMMA BACKGROUND In late 2014 a long forgotten store of 78 rpm recordings on shellac and vinyl of the band of the Coldstream Guards was discovered by Simon Vandeleur, the Regimental Secretary of the Coldstream Guards. He has since added to the collection from historic recordings by a number of other British military bands. The earliest of these recodings date back to 1905 when John Mackenzie-Rogan was the Coldstream Guards bandmaster from 1896 to1922, and was the first British Army bandmaster to be given commissioned rank. Mackenzie-Rogan became the senior Director of Music of the Brigade of Guards, composer and arranger of music, making the Guards band music well known both nationally and internationally, all before the days of radio, film and television. The Guards bands were amongst the first UK bands to have their music recorded, with the Coldstream band recording their first music in a London hotel in 1898. Simon had the recordings catalogued by archivist Colin Dean, along with the historic recordings of the Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards (also known as the Household Cavalry), and the Grenadier, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards (also known as the Brigade of Guards or Guards). Music publisher and music advisor to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Tim Hollier , introduced Simon to Metropolis Studios, recognised internationally as one of the leading digital mastering studios. Metropolis took some of the earliest recordings pre First World War, eliminated the hisses and scratches and background noise and illustrated how the music could be brought back to life.
