Heroes Haven Swanage

BREAKING: Joanna Lumley has donated all of her £5 million in recent book royalties and speaking-tour earnings to build a series of veteran support centers across the United Kingdom. The initiative will create 150 units of housing and 300 shelter beds for struggling British veterans and their families.
“I’ve seen too many of our veterans come home and face battles that no one should have to fight alone,” an emotional Lumley said at a press conference. “No one who has served this country should ever have to go without a roof over their head.”

What a week it has been for photography! I am thrilled to bits to have been able to shoot the aurora on home turf at long last. I don't think I ever thought I would photograph aurora at Corfe. The only down-side, is that I'll need to completely re-think my April Fool strategy now!

Today, we commemorate the liberation of the Falkland Islands 42 years ago. We remember the 255 British military servicemen who died in the conflict in 1982 and their bereaved families, and all those who came back physically and mentally injured. For over 40 years, the Army’s national charity has proudly supported Falklands veterans and we stand with them today as they remember their fallen comrades.
