Vermisse London, sogar Piccadilly Circus... Hoffnungsvolle und christliche Osteransprache der Königin 👑 https://www.royal.uk/queens-easter-message #piccadillycircus #london #piccadilly #londonstreets #Piccadilly #londonview #lovelondonlife #bluebadgeguides #guidelondon #visitbritain #visitlondonofficial #iloveswitzerland #lovelondon #visitlondon #londonbluebadgeguides

“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.” On this day, 74 years ago, Sir Winston Churchill held a speech that made history. After loosing the election, President Truman invited Churchill to small town Fulton in Missouri. Not as a prime minister (he lost the election) but as a prophet. Phrases like Cold War, Iron Curtain and Special Relationship have since then entered into general use. The Americans were so impressed with his speech that they wanted to build him a memorial. But how? During the Blitz, many churches were destroyed in the City of London and laid in ruins. Also the Christopher Wren church St Mary Aldermansbury. So in 1966 they had 7000 stones shipped to Fulton and rebuild/restored the church in line with Wren’s original building. It now forms part of the memorial to Churchill next to a library. Next time you are in the City check out the little garden where the church once stood or book a City of London Tour with me 😀 —————————————————— I am Theresa, a qualified Blue Badge Tourist guide and run fun and informative tours in English and German.
