As the Games of the XXX Olympiad come to a close, a massive "well done" to all the athletes, coaches, officials, venue employees, volunteers and spectators from every corner of the world.

And most importantly to the people of London and the rest of the United Kingdom, congratulations on a job well done!

So sad seeing all the images coming out of London after the riots.  I hope everyone there stays safe, sanity prevails and the bastards are caught.

Coventry - Ruins of St Michael's

On the night of 14 November 1940, the city of Coventry was devastated by bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe. The Cathedral burned with the city, having been hit by several incendiary devices.

The decision to rebuild the cathedral was taken the morning after its destruction. Rebuilding would not be an act of defiance, but rather a sign of faith, trust and hope for the future of the world.

Shortly after the destruction, the cathedral stonemason, Jock Forbes, noticed that two of the charred medieval roof timbers had fallen in the shape of a cross. He set them up in the ruins where they were later placed on an altar of rubble with the moving words 'Father Forgive' inscribed on the Sanctuary wall.
