This is my grandfather Harry Hanson (& his dog tags)who fought in the battle of the Somme which began 104 years ago today (british casualties of 60,000 on this 1st day) #somme104 -an early memory is him removing a small dot of shrapnel from his chin & putting in a tin by the fire

I found this photo outside Tesco in Holywell during my shop earlier today. It says "Mum and Dad, 1955" on the back. Please retweet to help me try to get it back to the owner! Too much of a beautiful photo for someone to lose. Thank you 👍🏻

So here it is. Zuck has taken his orders from Trump. Facebook is refusing to ban lies in political ads. It's refusing to ban microtargeting of political ads. Zuckerberg has sanctioned the delivery of toxic lies to voters in darkness...for profit. https://t.co/cHU2idzbhV

Tonight the people of the Netherlands as part of #Lichtjesavond will place candles on the graves of those who gave all to Liberate them in 1944/45. What an amazing thing to do each #ChristmasEve.
