Delighted to meet the families of Lisbon Maru survivors during the Spring Festival—a time for family and reunion. During WWII, the people of China and the UK stood side by side, forging a bond of solidarity that endures to this day. A friendship born of shared sacrifice continues to bring our peoples close, just like family. #ChineseNewYear #ChinaUK #SharedHistory #ChinaUKFriendship

One of the first things that my son did when he turned 17 was to sign up to be a blood donor. Last night he gave his first blood donation. I was so proud I asked the staff for a sticker. He potentially saved someone's life last night. #GiveBloodSaveLife

#Oasis25 #OasisManchester Church jumps on Oasis mania bandwagon.. join me for a secular celebration of the music of Oasis! Bucket hats welcome! Sing a long- listen- be inspired! New Chapel Denton.

#Oasis #Halle Absolutely beautiful evening music of Oasis performed by a string quartet. Amazing arrangements especially introducing Pachabels Canon in D to Don't look back in anger. @NoelGallagher

👭Jean Kathleen Cassidy, niece of Lisbon Maru victim John Weaver, and Wu Xiaofei, descendant of a Dongji fisherman who rescued POWs, have forged a deep #friendship despite language barriers. They exchanged dozens of letters and gifts over the years. 🧣⚽️Jean Clements (Cassidy’s son): “I heard he’s a big football fan!” So he gifted a scarf to Wu Xiaofei’s son, Xu Chenhang. Both families hope this cross-cultural bond endures and that China-UK relations continue to strengthen. #ExploreZhoushan #ZhoushanStories #LisbonMaru

#backtobedlam20th @JamesBlunt amazing night at Mcr. Always love the signed merch despite me already owning the cd I just had to have a signed copy. 🥰🥰

Amidst of all the hatred of the country at the minute, I'm taking great pleasure of seeing Snoop fully embracing and supporting the Olympics. Spreading love and smiles, even for those of us who aren't interested in sport, watching him brings a smile to my face. @SnoopDogg

#lisbonmaru amazing albeit emotional day sinking a plaque at the ship wreck site.

#SIFF24 #Lisbonmaru We, the family members of survivors and those who were killed cannot thank Fang Li and the hospitality of everyone during our stay in Shanghai. Truly a beautiful city. Thank you.

The documentary "The Sinking of Lisbon Maru" held its world premiere at the Shanghai Film Art Center on June 14th. As an entry in the premiere section of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), the film reveals the truth behind the sinking of the "Lisbon Maru" 82 years ago. 🎬 #SIFF24 #LisbonMaru

Before I turn 50 I wanted to learn to play just ONE piece on the piano. I can't read music or play an instrument but here it is!

Yeah right, like @JamesBlunt would send this to me... there's part of me that wants to respond telling this guy he's got the lyrics wrong.

The bronx zoo once housed this exhibit.. the most dangerous animal in the world, it was a mirror. When will we ever learn? Current estimations of anywhere up to 199 million tons of plastic in our oceans and not content with that we're littering space with tons of junk too.

This weekend at New Chapel Unitarian **Saturday 27th 10am-12 noon Coffee Morning with our bargain stall *** **Sunday 28th 11am a special service marking Holocaust Memorial Day** **Sunday 28th - 6pm - 7pm Our monthly soundbath. An evening of relaxation and de-stress**

#lunalapin @coolcrafting Finished my sons girlfriends Christmas present in time. Love these two!

A wonderful turnout for my annual memorial service for all families I have conducted funerals for over the past year. 215 to be precise. The most important night of the year for me a way of saying thank you for sharing your loved ones with me
