We were honoured to welcome His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh to Jewry Wall during his visit to Leicester yesterday.

The Duke explored our fully immersive museum – where 21st century technology brings to life one of the largest surviving Roman structures in Britain.

Today I celebrate my 20,000th day on the planet. To explain, my 50th was during lockdown so I decided to celebrate another arbitrary milestone instead and today is it, 20,000 days since I was born - I am really looking forward to the cake later, all those candles to blow out…
