I should imagine as a youngster that the statue was even more impressive.

He’s been one of my heroes ever since I read the Ladybird book. And I used to gaze in awe at this statue when I was a mere lad. Our only ‘Great’ king.

I look forward to seeing the fine photos of the Don’s noble quest.

Why thank you Fine and Fair Lady Cherie of the Kingdom of CherryPiedom. I do rather find that the persona of an aging shabby, deluded and rather arrogant if essentially kindly Don does suit me well, and without much adjustment of my normality, and I may wear if muchly morely in the future while offering the photos of sights seen on my noble quest for signs of sanity in a sadly sane-free world.

It is interesting to read about the Kings and Queens of England.

I wish I had been taught this sort of thing at school. We learned about the industrial revolution which didn’t capture my imagination at the time.

Interesting to get to know an important yet it seems forgotten king.

Part of what used to be taught to schoolchildren – should it be taught again?
