Did anyone go to hear a lone piper playing "When the Battles Over" yesterday at 6AM?

It was incredibly atmospheric here on Morecambe sea front.

The version below is from the Edinburgh Tattoo.

"Burnley were able to repel Leicester’s early onslaught through a combination of some alert goalkeeping from Joe Hart and some sturdy defending – some of it last ditch"

...our sturdy defence and goal is whats kept us in the PL...but did seem like we'd improved on earlier games -and so it should, it's our bread and butter - though could easily have been otherwise - Hart called on to make some decent saves - goal line clearance - they hit the woodwork etc etc - and what trouble did we cause at their end...a weak shot from Wood and little else - that's where i'm looking to see improvement - as can't win games without the goals.

About thirty years ago we were heading off to the mountain bike trail down in Slaidburn on Remembrance Sunday. A lone piper was playing at the Memorial Cross, there was not a dry eye in Bowland on that day..

I just heard the clink of glasses - and smelt the cigars.

....the origin of World War I, the seminal event of the Twentieth Century and the event that “made” the New World Order under the leadership of Lord Milner. Lord Milner was an international banker and he worked closely with J. P. Morgan in the USA and Lord Rothschild and other bankers in the City of London. The central thesis of “Lord Milner’s Second War” is that Lord Milner arranged for Britain to participate in the War. Cecil Rhodes, the great British Imperialist, wanted to establish a world state through the British Empire. He set up his secret society to achieve that goal and he groomed Lord Milner to succeed him. Milner started the South African War (the Boer War) to seize control of South Africa and its huge gold deposits. He pioneered the use of concentration camps to wage war on the civilian population. Twenty-seven-thousand Boer women and children perished in Milner’s camps—far more than the casualties of all combatants. Having hoisted the British flag on all of South Africa, Milner set his sights on the ultimate prize—a great war that would crush Russia and Germany and leave his banking allies free to dominate world finances. The present work suggests that the Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey, The Secretary of War, Richard Haldane and the British Director of Military Operations, General Sir Henry Wilson forged the military arrangements with France that led Britain to war. But two of these men, Grey and Haldane, belonged to the Rhodes-Milner secret society, and the third, General Wilson, was a close associate of Lord Milner. “Lord Milner’s Second War” outlines how this secret society directed British foreign policy to fomenting a European conflict. With patience and skill, Foreign Secretary Grey convinced France and Russia of Britain’s genuine commitment to taking part in a European war. As a result, France and Russia became more aggressive in the Balkans. With the rise of President Poincaré of France, Sir Edward Grey at last had a French partner who unequivocally wanted war. Allied to Russian Ambassador Izvolsky, Poincaré and Grey arranged for Europe to plunge into the 1914-18 catastrophe. The First World War did not go as planned, but Milner won in the end with a lot of help from the American banking cartel, which arranged the extraordinary intervention of America. The Milner Group came out of World War I as the most powerful organization in the West. They had a major influence in starting World War II and they emerged from that war...stronger than ever.
