Everybodyknows something about Queen Elisabeth, about Princess Diana or other members of the royal family. Their lives, public and private, have always been of general interest for people all over the world. The first member and the most important of this Family is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. She is the supreme ruler of Great Britain and the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states and the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The year 1847 marks her Royal Wedding with Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. They have four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. Neither of them was happy in their private lives. Charles and Andrew were the 13 most notorious one because both had pompous weddings enjoyed by millions of viewers all over the world and their divorces brought shock and scandal in the Royal Family. This sudden exposure of the royal members’ private lives made Queen Elizabeth very unhappy because she always wanted to show Great Britain and the world the image of a united and happy family and this image was shattered after these unhappy events.To continue the series of misfortunes, Princess Anne also divorced and, in 1997, a terrible tragedy affected the Royal Family and shock the world: Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris.

Hon. Theresa May MP. Do join us for this Business Lunch at 12.30. Ask some of those questions we all want to know the answers to, from a Parliamentarian who was at the very centre of the campaign and on the shoulder of a key player during this momentous event in British Politics. th Tickets are £25 per person for Lunch & Coffee with payment required by Monday 14th November.

Page 2/249 Les chroniques Page 3/249 ENSLAVED : Frost Chronique réalisée par Iormungand Thrazar Premier album du groupe norvégien chz le label français Osmose Productions, ce "Frost" fait suite au début du groupe avec "Vikingligr Veldi". Il s'agit de mon album favori d'Enslaved suivi de près par "Eld", on ressent une envie et une virulence incroyables dans cette oeuvre. Enslaved pratique un black metal rageur et inspiré, globalement plus violent et ténébreux que sur "Eld". Il n'y a rien à jeter sur cet album, aucune piste de remplissage. On commence après une intro aux claviers avec un "Loke" ravageur et un "Fenris" magnifique avec son riff à la Satyricon et son break ultra mélodique. Enslaved impose sa patte dès 1994, avec la très bonne performance de Trym Torson à la batterie sur cet album, qui s'en ira rejoindre Emperor par la suite. "Svarte vidder" est un grand morceau doté d'une intro symphonique, le développement est excellent, 9 minutes de bonheur musical et auditif. "Yggdrasill" se pose en interlude de ce disque, un titre calme avec voix grave, guimbarde, choeurs et l'utilisation d'une basse fretless jouée par Eirik "Pytten", le producteur de l'album: un intemrède magnifique et judicieux car l'album gagne en aération. Le disque enchaîne sur un "Jotu249lod" destructeur et un Gylfaginning" accrocheur.

The Silent Village, a tribute to the devastated commu- nity of Lidice, stages a bold re-enactment of the Czech events set in Cwmgiedd, near Swansea. Poet and filmmaker Humphrey Jennings first dis- cussed the project in nearby Ystradgynlais just two months after the killings, gaining the co-operation of local pitmen who would play the villagers and their families in his moving recre- ation of the atrocity.
