Members of the English Civil War Society gathered in London on Sunday for the annual commemoration of the execution of King Charles I. They marched from St James’s Palace to Horseguards Parade, where they held a short service, followed by a wreath laying at Banqueting House
..
Charles I was executed outside Banqueting House on 30th January 1649. The King requested 2 shirts to wear because it was so cold, and he didn’t want those watching to think he was shaking from fear. One of the silk ‘vests’ supposedly worn by Charles on that day will be part of the @museumoflondon exhibition ‘Executions’ which opens on 16th October

The English Civil War Society, as well as the Sealed Knot, reenact events from the English Civil War throughout the country. Check their websites for details of events

Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.
Execution chamber of Plötzensee Prison, built in 1870s, and used by Nazi courts to eliminate enemies of the state. Between 1933 and 1945 nearly 2,900 people, mostly members of German and foreign resistance groups, were put to death by guillotine or by being hanged from meat hooks set on a steel beam. They included 89 conspirators and helpers involved in the failed 20 July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler.

Built for the execution of Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat. Tried for treason after the Battle of Culloden. The last man to be beheaded on Tower Hill.
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was printed in England by Gale & Polden Ltd. of London, Aldershot and Portsmouth.
On the divided back of the card they have printed:
'Tower of London.
Execution Block and Axe.
The axe has been in the Tower
since 1687.
The block is that on which Lord
Lovat was executed on Tower
Hill in 1747'.
The Tower of London
On the 23rd. September 1940, during the Blitz, high-explosive bombs damaged the castle, destroying several buildings and narrowly missing the White Tower. After the war, the damage was repaired and the Tower of London was reopened to the public.
A 1974 Tower of London bombing in the White Tower Mortar Room left one person dead and 41 injured. No one claimed responsibility for the blast, but the police suspected that the IRA was behind it.
Gale & Polden Ltd., 1892-1981
The origins of this large printing and publishing firm began in 1866 when James Gale opened a book shop in Chatham. Seven years later he began printing books, and by 1877 he took on Ernest Polden as an apprentice.
They worked well together, moving to a larger establishment in Aldershot in 1888 and joining together to form a Limited Partnership with an office in London in 1892.
Much of the work they produced was military-related, which led them to open a third office in Portsmouth to help capture business from the Royal Navy.
In 1901 they began publishing postcards in halftone lithography. These cards also largely dealt with military themes, as they produced series on Regiments, Naval Ships, Admiral Nelson, humorous naval nicknames, and more. They also produced view-cards, but even many of these scenes were somehow related to the military.
In 1963 they were purchased by the Purnell Group, and after a number of further buy-offs, they finally shut down their printing facilities in 1981.
Executioner's Hood Melbourne Cut poem
In a land of salutary terror
Instruments of violence were employed
To inflict class suppression
Onto the poor by the rich
For acts of rebellion against owners
Putting the fear of death into them
Terrifying and teaching them a lesson
Employing execution for pacification
The tactics of imperial rule
Resistance is demonstratively not tolerated
Settler violence is reasoned
Public executions are legitimized
Violent acts are defended by the dominant participant
When power is in jeopardy
Protect the exclusive class
By
Building prosperity in the enemy's land
By
Assigning blame onto the victim

Paul Delaroche, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, 1833, oil on canvas, 246 x 297 cm (The National Gallery, London)
from Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain (1727):
The force of this engine is so strong, the head of the ax being loaded with a weight of lead to make it fall heavy, and the execution is so sure, that it takes away all possibility of its failing to cut off the head; and to this purpose, the Hallifax people tell you another story of a country woman, who was riding by upon her doffers or hampers to Hallifax Market, for the execution was always on a market day (the third after the fact) and passing just as the ax was let fall upon the neck of the criminal, it chopt it thro' with such force, that the head jumpt off into one of her hampers, and that the woman not perceiving it, she carry'd it away to the market.
All the use I shall make of this unlikely story, is this, that it seems executions were so frequent, that it was not thought a sight worth the peoples running out to see; that the woman should ride along so close to the scaffold, and that she should go on, and not so much as stop to see the ax fall, or take any notice of it. But those difficulties seem to be much better solved, by saying, that 'tis as reasonable to think the whole tale is a little Yorkshire, which, I suppose, you will understand well enough.
Karla Faye Tucker was the first woman executed in Texas since the Civil War. She was put to death in 1998. The photo was taken a few weeks before her execution.
