An iconic image concludes an historic visit by Their Majesties to New York City. On the third day of their State Visit to honour the American people in their 250th year, King Charles III and Queen Camilla paid tribute at the @911Memorial, toured an urban farm run by @HarlemGrown, explored our shared history and literary heritage at the The New York Public Library (@nypl), attended a business and trade event focusing on the depth and breadth of US-UK economic ties at Rockefeller Center, and celebrated the power of US-UK cultural partnerships with The King's Trust USA.

1/2 **ACCIDENT IMAGES IN PART 2** #OnThisDay in 1989; Gerhard Berger escapes a fiery accident at Imola's Tamburello during the @F1 San Marino GP - he would most just 1 race in Monaco. The 2nd of 4 severe accidents in 5 years at the corner,... #f1 #Throwback #imola #ferrari

Oh my god. This is arguably worse than last week's one. #F1

boomers and millennials are the same person 30 years apart. gen x and gen z are the same person 30 years apart. the loud idealists vs the quiet skeptics. it's always been a 2v2.

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.
