A notebook carried through the trenches of the #GreatWar had a list of names. Determined to trace these men, Mark Scott turned detective & unravelled a remarkable connection to the #UnknownWarrior, unearthing new documents telling of those not selected for burial in #WestminsterAbbey in 1920.

🔴 #YESTERDAY:
The Royal Family were met with boos and heckled at #WestminsterAbbey in #London

Citizens yelled “Parasites! Parasites!!”

The British see the Royal Family as an expensive, taxpayer funded institution while actual citizens live in poverty

They let their country be invaded

Digital art that is in the style of a blueprint. Shows the front facade of Westminster Abbey with its towers reaching upward. There's also a "royal seal" of the King and the name of the Abbey in Latin as if these are original blueprints.

If you only had a day in #London where would you go first?
🇬🇧 ❤️

#WestminsterAbbey would be high on my list because of the #architecture and history.

Thanks to someone in Florida who picked a print based on photos from my visits there.

I've had a great afternoon at #WestminsterAbbey, preparing for something I'm excited to tell you about soon. I spent most of my time in Poets' Corner: a real pilgrimage. I found myself reflecting on who's memorialised here, and who's missing. Who would I like to see honoured in this hallowed place?

I was so busy. Looking up I didn’t get a good photo of the pavement itself!
