I find it illuminating to to look at contemporary responses to the terrible destruction of WW2. Here @river_rowing gives food for thought. Artists including John Piper were closely involved in representing the impact of Blitz. Booklet to left published in 1942. @Portaspeciosa

No #GreatNorthRun yesterday with @DuncombeSue but a great run along the Tyne. We’ll be back for the GNR in 2021. @CR_UK will lose £160m in 2020 due to COVID. If you can sponsor us early for next year’s event that would be really helpful. Thank you fundraise.cancerresearchuk.o……

We welcome this vital funding for arts & culture. We have been campaigning since the crisis began for the investment that we need to support our museums & our communities & this should go a long way to sustaining our museums & galleries through the current crisis.

The show must go on. We’re introducing a world-leading £1.57 billion rescue package to help cultural, arts and heritage institutions weather the impact of coronavirus.

‘Henley Royal Regatta’, from The Graphic, 18 July 1891 Before WWI, houseboats were one of the greatest attractions of @HenleyRegatta. Stretching from Phyllis Court to Fawley Court Boathouse, they were lavishly decorated. rrm.co.uk/collection/ #HenleyAtHome © The Graphic

Another #HenleyRoyalRegatta tradition we’ll be missing this year…the draw would have been taking place today. We will miss hosting everyone at this special event.

No charity can replace the dignity of having enough £ for food. But while #foodbanks are needed, having treats like biscuits in addition to standard items like tinned fruit & veg for nutritional balance, can help restore some normality for people during these uncertain times >
Lewisham Foodbank (@lewishamfood) profile pictureLewisham Foodbank@lewishamfood25 Jun 2020
Some followers have raised concern about us putting certain items on our shopping lists (eg crisps & chocolate). Let me clarify - whilst we agree that they are of little nutritional value, we also believe in blessing our clients with a treat from time to time. (1 of 2)
