On April 3, 1965, Ennio Morricone recorded this masterpiece in Rome.
Sixty years ago.
The soundtrack of a lifetime.

Overjoyed to hear that IWM are abolishing all image and film reproduction charges.
Amazing opportunities loom as our muted heritage can now be seen, heard and used, helping expand engagement across society & with marginalised groups.
Simply brilliant!
This is Goethe on why reading alone is not enough:
“People think that by reading they become learned; but it is not so. Reading only supplies materials for knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. Without reflection, what we take in remains external and does not truly belong to us.”
The Irish Defence Forces can confirm that all Irish personnel are well and accounted for. We wish to extend our sympathies to the families of the peacekeepers who lost their lives in the service of peace. Our thoughts are also with those injured in the attack.
Óglaigh na hÉireann reaffirms our condemnation of any attack on peacekeepers and reminds all parties of their responsibilities under international law and echo UNIFIL's statement found here:

Axis or Allied? I can't tell. Location is Tunisia, the Sidi Nsir road near Hill 609. Looks like it has been destroyed by a mine, is that size of hole normal for an anti-tank mine in 1943? #TunisianCamapign

@archivetvmus71 Started watching when Valerie was one of the 3. Leslie joined up & Bal went to Radio 4. Was a wonderful series with so much on adventures, nature, pets & crafts.
Blue Peter (23rd March 1978). Peter Purves bids farewell to Blue Peter. He joined the team in 1967, intending to stay for only six months, but remained with the programme for over a decade.
@archaeologymag Fascinating a/c and highly detailed. Coastal archaeology as in the Orkneys may reveal early sites? The changing sea levels could have reduced them to the tidal zone or now submerged.
The Faroe Islands were the first stepping stone for Viking exploration of the Atlantic. But some archaeologists now think that they weren’t the first to reach the isles, and that the “writings of mad Irish monks” are worth paying closer attention to.

We shall be remembered either as the generation that turned this planet into a flaming funeral pyre or the generation that met its vow to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. - JFK
