The war memorial at London Zoo was unveiled in 1919 to commemorate 12 members of staff who lost their lives in active service during World War One. On this Remembrance Sunday, we remember the service and sacrifice of those who have served in conflict.

The rapture is coming soon!😀 Every genuine believer in Jesus Christ on Earth will disappear "in the twinkling of an eye", transformed and taken to heaven bodily, not as noncorporeal spirits, without dying. It will happen soon after Israel declares President Antichrist "messiah".

#OTD in 1812 Abraham Dee Bartlett, a key figure in ZSL’s history, was born. As Superintendent of #ZSLLondonZoo he helped shape its development during the Victorian era. If you're in the Huxley Theatre, spare a thought for Bartlett if you're sat in the Bartlett Suite!
