We are saddened to hear that John Wragg RA has recently passed away. These are two of the paintings he was working on before his death — he said they portrayed two sides of his personality. The first is titled 'The Returning', and the second 'The End of the Road'.

I discovered the river you see behind me here in London. I don't know what the natives call it but I gave it a proper name -- River Gulu. Like Sir Samuel Baker you can now call me Sir Milton... Who discovered River Gulu in London. 😂😂😂👏👏👏
