On VE day in Hammersmith, loud speakers were set up outside the town hall for the crowds to hear Churchill's speech. The council offered a victory programme - a dance at Lime Grove Baths and a Civic Ball. And a service of remembrance in Ravenscourt Park.

#OnThisDay 1959: Monitor visited Stratford, examining how the Theatre Royal played a part in the lives of the local community in East London.
Clip taken from Monitor, originally broadcast on BBC Television, Sunday 15 February, 1959.
We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Lord Herman Ouseley after a short illness.
Lord Ouseley was a titan in tackling discrimination in football over the 25 years he was chair of Kick It Out, having founded Let’s Kick Racism Out of Football in 1993. He was also a fearless advocate for underrepresented and disadvantaged communities and will be sorely missed.
Lord Ouseley’s vision to set up Kick It Out was the first true structural change in football to take on a problem that had blighted the game for decades. Fans and participants are now more aware of discrimination and how to challenge it, which is a legacy of the tenacity and vigour he showed in ensuring football continued to change. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude and vow to continue that legacy for the benefit of future generations.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

It's considered a great honour for a property to have a blue heritage plaque.
There are less than 2500 properties in London with blue plaques on them. So to have an address associated with 4 global figures is historic. But 5 is just bonkers.

New card claxon, this time from Mary.
Her art infuses with gold foiled lettering to make a stunning way of celebrating those who are your Sunshine.
The lettering is even, our lighting isn’t great. Apologies.
"Do you believe me?" Not many people do.

Hi Folks,
While Reboot 4 gets ready to open its third week on Tuesday and we continue to prepare for an autumn full of dynamic productions, the frustrating truth is that we are at risk of closing.
