Policemen outside the court where an Official Secrets Act case was being heard, apparently passing the time examining a pistol, identified by many in the comments below as a Luger.
The case, which was something of a cause célèbre at the time involved members of the army and police force. See below for contributions from John Spooner and quadrophonic73 giving background on the trial, etc.

Sorry I've been very poor keeping my photostream up to date recently - I must make a concerted effort to catch up.
Pictures from February when some friends came to Hull and we went out round a few bars in Hull. We took in Monroe's, Zinnia, Unit 49 then on to the King Edward. A great night!
Having a walk along the Rising Sun's park this morning with camera obviously, we saw a lot of small Lady Bugs taking comfort on a branch facing the east, but sheltered from the cold wind. This is the first time i have actually seen these creatures in February! That tells me were in for a very warm spring and plenty of aphids...!
The very mild winter and especially the month of February has some Maple syrup running and these comming out of our Poplar trees. Have never seen this in my lifetime before!
Put some heart into yourself. Learn to love yourself. You are worth it. When you put some heart into the person you are, you generate enough love for yourself and others. Happy Valentine's Day! Spread the love!
These are the crew members of a Norwegian vessel, who survived what is known as the Fethard Lifeboat Disaster.
These men were on board their vessel, The Mexico (with its cargo of mahogany and cedar from Mexico), when it ran aground on the Keragh Islands, Co. Wexford on Friday, 20 February 1914. The Fethard Lifeboat, Helen Blake, came to their rescue through a storm was destroyed with the loss of 9 of the 14 lifeboatmen.
For those of you wanting to know more about this disaster, Niall McAuley provided a link to this PDF recounting the whole story, and a tentative identification of the older sailor in the middle as the captain of The Mexico, Ole Edvin Eriksen, of Frederikshald, Norway...
Fairly happy now that this photo was taken at Waterford, thanks to John Spooner's contribution from a report in The Times of 24 February that said:
"The tug with the nine men on board and the body of the man who had died on the island arrived at Waterford at 4 o'clock. A great crowd assembled on the quays to welcome the rescuers."

This is my Valentine drawing to my wife. I have given her a drawing every year for thirty-five years. That year, I used some of "Jerry Van Amerongen" and my style to put together this Drawing. Thanks Jerry!
Thank you Mieko for a wonderful 35 years.

This gentleman, playing with his Jack Russell(?) terrier, is Sir Richard John Musgrave, 5th Baronet of Tourin (10 December 1850-1930), and High Sheriff of County Waterford in 1880 - pictured at his home in Cappoquin, Co. Waterford.
Plus is this the most menacing face carved into a piece of furniture ever?

This is the procession for James MacNeill, newly sworn in Governor General of the Irish Free State. Our catalogue had this as Westmoreland Street, Dublin, but following discussion here, we're now sure that this is actually the head of the procession on O'Connell Street, having just passed over O'Connell Bridge, with Westmoreland Street in the distance back over the bridge .
This coverage from Thursday 2 February's Irish Independent outlines the ceremonial sequence:
"Mr. James MacNeill was, yesterday, installed as Governor-General of the Saorstat in succession to Mr. T. M. Healy. The ceremony, which was dignified and impressive, took place at Leinster House in the presence of a distinguished gathering. The new Governor-General was sworn in by the Chief Justice, and after the ceremony he laid a wreath on the Griffith-Collins cenotaph in Leinster Lawn. His Excellency, accompanied by a cavalry escort, was then driven through the city to his official residence in the Phoenix Park."
In typical fashion (if you'll pardon the pun), the Irish Independent writer dismisses Mr. MacNeill's attire with two words: "morning dress", but we are treated to great detail on Mrs. MacNeill, who "wore a clipped lamb coat trimmed with fox fur and a brown felt hat to match the fur. Her dress was also brown, trimmed at the neck with soft yellow, and she wore shooes and stockings to match the dress."
The MacNeills had been staying at the Shelbourne Hotel and they left at 10.45 to drive to Leinster House. It must have been a very swift ceremony, as the Chief Justice administered the Oath at 11; they were crossing O'Connell Bridge at 11.28 (according to the clock in this photo) and the Irish Independent said they reached the Vice-Regal Lodge at 12.10.

These photos were taken on 17th of February in Sofia, Bulgaria where a protest against the power companies currently in service was organised. Although these companies were involved in corrupt activities and some even proven to have violated multiple legislation, there was heavy police and riot-police presence throughout the protest. There were clashes when the crowd reached the main office of the power company serving Sofia and that's when the police's complete lack of hesitation to use brutal force was evident. Riot police armed with shield and bats stormed into the crowd hitting people in their way. Fortunately no protestants were badly hurt.
If you want to use any of these photos, ask for permission- I have plenty more material lying around.
Early February views of a variety of birds visiting the feeders in my back yard. There is something really wonderful about seeing many of the regulars now set against a snowy background. This for me is particularly true of the cardinals. here are a few of my favorites framed against early February snow

Not sure if I like the picture, but I didn't get the picture I wanted because it was too cold to stay out long enough x_x

This lockdown has given me no excuse to avoid catching up on posting my photos.
Another February evening and another of my favourite dresses.
Snuggling with my Bagpuss hot water bottle holder. Aww!
A look east down my snowbound driveway as the sun comes up on February 19, 2017. It was a remarkable stretch of weather for February, barely freezing at night and up to 50 during the day.
February 18 - Something silk or satin. It's my wife's pajamas, I don't like to sleep dressed in such sophisticated clothes.
12 February 2011. Doctors played a crucial role in aiding wounded protesters during the uprising, many working in makeshift field hospitals in and around Tahrir Square.
On 10 February, the day before Mubarak's resignation, three thousand doctors and nurses from Cairo University Hospital on Kasr Al Aini street went on strike and marched into the square in a show of support for the goals of the revolution.
This hopsital, just south of the Square, had possibly done more than any other in Egypt to save lives during the uprising. On one single day, 28 January 2011, the hospital treated 3012 patients injured during the protests, 339 of them requiring immediate surgical intervention.
422 of the injuries had been caused by live fire arms ammunition and just three by rubber bullets suggesting that Mubarak's security forces were intent on using lethal force.
In the face of such a large number of serious casualties, hospital doctors struggled to cope. Adding to their difficulties, the government had shut down the mobile phone system on the night of 27 January which doctors during the previous few years had increasingly relied on for urgent internal communications so the hospital had to improvise by employing "runners" to communicate messages between different doctors and departments.

To contact me please see my Facebook page or by email to alisdare@gmail.com. I'm interested in corresponding with people who took part in the protests in order to research a book on Egypt's uprisings.
