Goodbye to the Walmer
In the spring of 2015 Margate lost an institution as well as a Primark. The following video was filmed by Jack Rowe & Dave McKenna on the final night that the Teagle family opened the doors of the Walmer Castle. We say goodbye to the pub and to one of finest landlords in Thanet Mr John Teagle. Walmer, it's been emotional you shall be missed.

UK: APSLEY HOUSE: HOME OF FIRST DUKE OF WELLINGTON RE-OPENS
English/Nat
One of Britain's most famous addresses - Number One, London - has re-opened its doors to the public after a 6-million pound facelift.
Apsley House was the home of the first Duke of Wellington - who won the Battle of Waterloo. The lavish, 18th-century mansion houses one of the country's biggest art collections and has been a museum for almost fifty years.
The address could hardly be easier to remember - Number One London - so called because it was once the first building seen by travellers entering the city from the west. Apsley House was built in 1771 for the second Early of Bathhurst, Baron Apsley.
Its most famous resident, however, was the first Duke of Wellington - the victor at Waterloo, and a former British Prime Minister - who bought Apsley House in 1817 for the princely sum of 42 thousand pounds. Wellington made it his London home after a dazzling military career in India, Spain and Portugal, culminating in his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.
The lavish mansion - on Hyde Park corner - has been handed down through generations of the Duke's descendants.
In 1947 the family gave the house to the nation and since then it has been run as the Wellington Museum. Three years ago it closed its doors for an extensive refurbishment programme commissioned by the Department of National Heritage which is directly responsible for this Grade 1 listed building.
SOUNDBITE:
I've no doubts that there will be a lot of visitors who will come here, both from Britain and of course from elsewhere in Europe and elsewhere in the world, because the first Duke of Wellington is a figure that almost everyone's heard of and it's an opportunity to come and see where he lived and see some of the things he had around him when he was here.
SUPER CAPTION: Stephen Dorrell - British Heritage Minister
Throughout the three-year project, teams of builders and experts from the Victoria and Albert Museum - which administers Apsley House and its collections - worked side by side to restore it to its former glory. They included specialists in historic interiors and conservation to recreate the building's original fittings and finishes.
SOUNDBITE:
We've been very lucky in that there are quite a lot of water colours which were made at about the time of the first Duke, showing the disposition of the painters, the hang of the paintings, showing where the furniture was placed, showing details of the carpet. And we've tried through our research to go back as closely as possible to a restoration of the house at the time when the first Duke was living here.
SUPER CAPTION: Elizabeth Esteve-Coll, Director Victoria & Albert Museum
The Duke of Wellington's military success brought him impressive gifts from grateful heads of state. Many works in the collection of over 200 paintings originally came from the Spanish Royal Collection dating back to the 17th century. There is also a large group by the Dutch and Flemish masters.
Wellington's spectacular dinner and dessert services are on display in the Plate and China Room including a huge gold platter depicting the Duke and his arch-enemy Napoleon on the field at Waterloo.

Deal Classic Motorshow 2017 (Kent, UK)
This is a free event held at Walmer Green, Deal, Kent in support of RNLI Walmer Lifeboat Station, which relies on donations to survive - these people do important work, so please support them.
It was a sunny day, with brief spurts of windiness to cool you down (but not uncomfortable at all), and there was something for everyone, young and old - puppet shows, bouncy castles, many food stalls, vendors, pubs across the road, Real Ale served out of the Lifeboat Station, live music at various locations, but most importantly - over 700 cars on display.
I covered the event for Old Ford Club South Africa, with a focus on Ford (obviously). It quickly became apparent that I would never get to photograph everything, so I recorded a lot of video - at 30fps because my Sony Z5 really heats up at 60fps, and I am sure the battery wouldn't have lasted as long as it did at 60fps.
Please excuse the wind noise - I don't have professional video-editing tools yet. This was assembled using Windows Movie Maker. It was more for my father-in-law who has a 1973 Volvo in South Africa, which he looks after like gold. He regularly attends shows in South Africa, and I thought he might appreciate this.
You can support RNLI Walmer Lifeboat Station here:
Thank you to Classic Music & Motors for organising this event:
We will be launching Old Ford Club South Africa within the next week, you can find us here:
Next year I will get there earlier, and better prepared.
