At @edfringe ? Check out @cepacia2 - a powerful, informative, touching, and in places very funny show about young people and cystic fibrosis. A supremely talented cast, fab staging and tech, and great writing make it a must see bit.ly/2OvFsNz

The deeply moving memorial to Alice Nutter, one of the ten Pendle witches hanged in 1612, at Roughlee in Lancashire. Designed and crafted by local artist David Palmer, it was unveiled in 2012 on the 400th anniversary of her death. #FolkloreThursday

Love this... 1973, David Bowie asleep on the Trans-Siberian. “David is sleeping off a long night of boozing somewhere in Siberia. We drank cheap Riesling and beer (Peeva) with a bunch of soldiers we'd met the night before." Geoff MacCormack

Tsutomi Yamaguchi had just arrived in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped. After being injured, he travelled to his hometown of Nagasaki and survived another atomic bomb attack there. He is one of 160 people who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki #FactOfTheDay

Doubts about the lance's genuineness reached such a peak that the man who discovered it demanded an ordeal by fire. Walking between piles of blazing wood, wearing only a tunic and carrying the lance, he was hideously burned. historytoday.com/richard-cav…
