On Bank Holiday Monday, 5th August 1963, a momentous concert took place in a tatty, hastily-erected marquee on Abbotsfield Park, Urmston. The Beatles were reluctantly honouring a booking that was made before they broke big. They’d had a good time when they played the Urmston Show in 1962, met some nice people and enjoyed a couple of pints in the Bird In Hand, so they happily agreed to come back the following year. Things were a little different by then though – at the time of the second gig ‘Please Please Me’ was riding high, they were ready to release ‘She Loves You’ and they had made their final appearance at The Cavern two days before. It was clear their days of playing council functions in rundown suburbs were over. Brian Epstein had tried to wriggle out of the gig on safety grounds, citing the uncontrollable numbers the newly-famous Beatles could generate, but Urmston Council were having none of it. There was no way they were going to cancel their flagship festivities on the grounds they might be too successful.Extract from Paul Hanleys Leave The Capital.
The homelessness crisis is part of Montrealers’ daily reality. You can’t turn a street corner in downtown Montreal without encountering a homeless person.
La crise d'itinérance fait partie de la réalité quotidienne des montréalais. On ne peut faire un coin de rue au centreville de Montréal sans croiser une personne SDF.

Lamego is an attractive town with Renaissance and baroque mansions overlooked by two hills. On one of the hills are the ruins of a 12th century castle, on the other is the monumental baroque Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. A marvelous granite staircase decorated with tiles, fountains, small chapels, and statues leads to a baroque church with views over the town. The Sanctuary is one of the most important pilgrim centres in Portugal. It is conformed by a 18th century church with twin towers and a marvelous blue and white plaster interior, with sky-blue rococó style ceiling and gilded altar; however, despite being a vastly beautiful church, it’s eclipsed by the monumental baroque church in zigzag in that accesses the church. Said stairs are conformed of 686 steps ornamented with tiles, urns, fountains, and statues. On one of the terraces are 18 statues. In the center is a monumental obelisk of 22 meters high supported by mythic images. Both the stairs and the church are visited year round, but especially during September 8th, since it is the main location of the festivity of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios; during which devotees climb the stairs to ask for miracles.
The famous baroque church if Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios stands atop the city of Lamego, north of Portugal. A marvelous granite staircase decorated with tiles, fountains, small chapels, and statues leads to the monumental obelisk and further to a baroque church with views over the town.
Lamego, dat wordt beschouwd als culturele hoofdstad van de Douro regio. Vanaf het centrum van Lamego loopt een imponerend trappenwerk met 686 treden omhoog, dat eindigt in een rotstuin heiligdom. Het Santuário is halverwege de 18e eeuw gebouwd, maar was pas in 1905 af, en is toegewijd aan Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. De steile ondergrond benadrukt nog meer dit grandioze bouwwerk, dat omgeven wordt door het mysterieuze dichtbegroeide woud van het park Parque de Santo Estevão en een heel aangename locatie is. Nicolau Nasoni, de maker van de schilderingen op de gewelven van de kathedraal van Lamego, ontwierp enkele van de barokke werken die het sanctuarium versieren, in het bijzonder de prachtige granieten fontein, die naast dit heiligdom ligt. Verschillende terrassen verrijken op verschillende niveaus de monumentale trappen en zijn met interessante beeldhouwwerken versierd. Op één van de terrassen staan 18 standbeelden. In het midden staat een monumentale waterschaal waar een obelisk van 22 meter hoogte op rust, die versierd en ondersteund wordt door mythische beelden. Tenslotte komt men bij het heiligdom.
For me the Nobel Price Day is all about glamour and festivity.
