This sounds fascinating – many thanks for posting. I am fascinated by the lives of our historical monarchs, but it is only in the last year or so I’ve started to get interested in our contemporary royal family. I’m not yet completely immersed in the Jubilee spirit yet, but did buy a lovely biscuit tin today from M&S. I do adore all the bunting that’s everywhere at the moment.

Sounds like a great book – worth getting the Kindle version or waiting for paperback? Will they update the Kindle version do you think?

This is not the first time I hear about big differences in editing standards between the Kindle edition and the print edition. Why, oh, why? Especially since it’s not that much cheaper on Kindle.
By the way, on a complete tangent, I’ve also nominated you for One Lovely Blog Award. You probably already have it, may not like awards that much, may wonder what on earth I am on about… but it’s just a small token of my appreciation for your informative, rollicking fun of a blog!

That dress is amazing. Great post and lovely pictures. Oh and when you DO do a tour, I want in on that.

This brought back such memories of the first summer that I spent in London. I lived with a family in Redbridge, and I’ve taken 3 Jack the Ripper tours including one with Donald Rumbelow. I have friends who live in Spitalfields right now, and I adore that area.

Great pics! Was lucky enough to take a Ripper walk last September, and found Mitre Square so evocative, especially at night.

I’d love to! I tried to sign up a few weeks ago at the recommendation of your very own Neil ‘Monty’ Bell as he’s helping me with research into my great-great-great grandfather who was a Sergeant with H Division in 1888. However, it said it wasn’t accepting new members – I’ll try again though as I am going to this year’s Ripper Convention in York and the Whitechapel Society Symposium and it’d be nice to know a few people first! :)
