On this day...

Should really have posted this yesterday, but didn't clock it until too late. Yesterday, January 30th is/was a bit of a red-letter day - red as in blood. It was the day Charles I was executed, the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, the day 13 people were killed in what has become known as "Bloody Sunday", and even more bizarrely, the day that Oliver Cromwell was posthumously executed - his body being exhumed and ceremonially beheaded and the head stuck on a pole outside Westminster Abbey. A date to be remembered - or perhaps not.
