Privilege to see Iron Maiden again in Birmingham last night...legends in their 50th year! Played a classic set, including my fave The Clairvoyant and a remarkable Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Dave Murray, Steve Harris and Bruce outstanding.

To distract us from election news.....this is coastal bombardment 'monitor' HMS M.33, built in 1915. Used during the Gallipoli Campaign - the only surviving ship from the huge Allied Fleet that supported the landings & one of 3 remaining RN ships from the First World War
