Just binge watched 'Prisoner 951' on BBC iPlayer. The story of Nazanin Zangari-Ratcliffe's imprisonment in Iran.
One of the most powerful things I've ever seen on TV. Totally gripping.
Think of the courageous women who are still incarcerated in this tyrannical regime 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I knew the church opposite my home was the premier church in the #HolmeValley
Didn't realise you could watch every service live, on YouTube.
Here's a video from Remembrance Sunday when my grand niece was handed the Union Jack to carry out to the parade.

Thanks to Locala podiatry🙏

Armistice Day.
In our village churchyard lies a young man who was killed by improvised explosive device (IED) in March 2012.
In the same incident, 3 other soldiers also from the Yorkshire Regiment were killed.
RIP young Jake.
