Bess and Edie enjoying having broken legs splinted by me with a cereal box and tape.. The TV programme called 'Operation Ouch' is a favourite with the girls. Some of it filmed in Sheffield.
"Operation Ouch!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Operation Ouch! is a British comedy children's television series on the human body, showing what happens in A&E, what doctors sometimes have problems with and great experiments. The first series Operation Ouch! aired on CBBC in October 2012. The show is hosted by twin brothers and doctors Dr Chris and Dr Xand van Tulleken and in 2019 a new doctor, Dr Ronx was introduced".
The Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) currently includes over 113 Issuing Banks in 26 countries in the EBRD region and more than 800 Confirming Banks worldwide. The event offered the opportunity to review and discuss industry challenges with leading specialists, including regulators and lawyers. It also featured the award ceremony for The Most Active EBRD TFP banks and Best Transactions of 2014.
The supply of safe drinking water and the provision of sanitation are management issues that raise concerns about inequitable service provision, particularly in developing countries. Although several successful initiatives have been launched to supply safe drinking water to urban populations, efforts still fall short of the required targets for sustainable development. In developing countries water delivery systems are plagued by leakages, illegal connections and vandalism, while precious water resources are squandered through greed and mismanagement. The World Bank recently estimated that US$600 billion is required to repair and improve the world’s water delivery systems (UNCSD, 1999). During the 1990s, the greatest reduction in per capita water supply was in Africa (by 2.8 times), Asia (by 2 times), and Latin America and the Caribbean (by 1.7 times), while water supplies available to European populations for that period decreased by 16% (WHO/UNICEF, 2000). The lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation is directly related to poverty, and, in many cases, to the inability of governments to finance satisfactory water and sanitation systems. The direct and indirect human costs of these failings are enormous, including widespread health problems, excessive use of labour (particularly for women, who are forced to travel long distances to obtain water for their families), and severe limitations for economic development (Gleick, 1995). Improved water and sanitation facilities, on the other hand, bring valuable benefits for both social and economic development and poverty alleviation (WHO/UNICEF 2000). Water Supply Highlights from the Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment 2000: - The percentage of people served with some form of improved water supply rose from 79% (4.1 billion people) in 1990 to 82% (4.9 billion) in 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, approximately 816 million additional people gained access to water supplies - an improvement of 3%. - Two out of every five Africans lack access to an improved water supply. Throughout Africa, rural water services lag far behind urban services. - During the 1990s, rural water supply percentage coverage increased, while urban coverage decreased - although the number of people who lack access to water supplies remained about the same. - In Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, nearly 1 billion people in rural areas have no access to improved water supplies. - To achieve the 2015 targets in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, water supplies will have to reach an additional 1.5 billion people. Sanitation Highlights from the Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment 2000: - The proportion of people with access to excreta disposal facilities increased from 55% (2.9 billion people) in 1990 to 60% (3.6 billion) in 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, approximately 747 million additional people gained access to sanitation facilities - although the number of people who lack access to sanitation services remained roughly the same. - At the beginning of 2000, two-fifths of the world’s population (2.4 billion people) lacked access to improved sanitation facilities. The majority of these people live in Asia and Africa, where fewer than half of all Asians have access to improved sanitation. - Sanitation coverage in rural areas is less than half that in urban locations, even though 80% of those lacking adequate sanitation (2 billion people) live in rural areas - some 1.3 billion in China and India alone. - In Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, nearly 2 billion people in rural areas have no access to improved sanitation facilities. - To achieve 2015 sanitation targets in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, an additional 2.2 billion people will have to be provided with sanitation facilities. - Polluted water is estimated to affect the health of more than 1.2 billion people, and to contribute to the death of an average 15 million children every year. In 1994, WHO estimated the number of people without access to clean drinking water at 1.3 billion. By 2000, nearly 1.2 billion people lacked access to clean water, while 2.4 billion lacked access to adequate sanitation services.

The programmes for Saturday 11th August 2001 commenced with a welcome from First Manchester and the Bolton Bus Group, and a reminder that Crook Street Depot (out of bounds) and Moor Lane and the surrounding streets were fully operational, Take Care and Be Aware at all times, paid credit to all who had moved mountains and molehills to make the day possible including GMPTE for allowing the event to take place and relaxing the vehicle age/type rules for certain tendered services, details of the day and a timetable of events, a brief history of the Atlantean, some cartoons, a personal reflection, and that some bespoke videos had been produced along with a raffle for a headboard.
Proceeds from the event were going to then named The Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
Swifts car park was closed for the day to allow a static display of visiting Atlanteans, thanks to all who attended.
I ran some 250 copies off, absolutely no idea how many we would need, on the depot printer. Some 2500 B/W and 250 front covers. I was just finishing packing up the sheets in the boxes they came in ready for a mass stapling session at home when I heard someone in the office say, "The printers out of ink, (They were huge!!) I only renewed the cartridges yesterday."
TIME TO DISAPPEAR!!
A ½-hourly shuttle between Moor Lane and the display at Crook Street was operated by Bolton 232.
But of course the star of the day was the last native fleet of GM Standard Atlanteans and they were near the end ......but we mustered 37 I think.
I arranged for all the Atlanteans to be rostered on local services where possible so each one visited Moor Lane Bus Station at least once an hour, sometimes twice.
The success of the day was summed up by a visitors comment in the press - There just seemed to be Atlanteans everywhere and its probably the last time we will ever witness such an event ....
I invited Dave Spencer for the day but he was unable to attend, otherwise engaged, and later told me he bitterly regretted not attending as he had heard that he'd missed a good day....
10 Years On was held on Sunday 21st August 2011 and a few similar programmes were produced. Being a Sunday the normal services were concentrated on the centre island platform on Moor Lane so thanks to TfGM, we were allowed to use the out of use bays for displaying the static visiting vehicles, (Crook Street having closed by this time), some privately owned and those from the Bolton Bus Preservation Group and those from The Selnec Preservation Society. Again thanks to all.
But this time there were no in service GM Standards and no CRUK participation.
A free hourly service Blackhorse Street to Bobs Smithy Pub on the peak of Chorley Old Road was run, so a much lower key day.
It all seems so long ago now, 21 years in the case of the native fleet......
1956 Fonteyn in 'Birthday Offering'.
Gala programme: www.flickr.com/photos/w77t/31616208571/in/photostream
Frederick Ashton created Birthday Offering to celebrate The Royal Ballet’s 25th anniversary - they were about to receive a royal charter and change their name from Sadler's Wells Ballet to The Royal Ballet.
The world première took place at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on 5th May 1956 and seven ballerinas take solo roles as well as being paired with solo male dancers - Margot Fonteyn was paired with Michael Somes.
That evening Birthday Offering was sandwiched between 'The Rake's Progress' and 'Façade' - both starring Robert Helpmann.
Born [Margaret Evelyn Hookham] on 18th May 1919 in Reigate, England and died on 21st Feb 1991 in Panama City, Panama.
Her debut was with the Vic-Wells Ballet in 1934 and initially danced under the name of Peggy Hookham then Margot Fontes, then Margot Fonteyn.
In the 1930s she and Robert Helpmann formed a very successful dance partnership and they dance together for 25 years.
Fonteyn was awarded a DBE in 1956.
Appointed prima ballerina assoluta of the Royal Ballet in 1979, as a gift for her 60th Birthday. The title was sanctioned by Queen Elizabeth II as patron of the company.
As a dancer she made her last appearance in Nureyev's 1979 summer season, and in Feb 1986 she appeared on stage for the last time as 'The Queen' in "The Sleeping Beauty".
Glaciers and ice caps cover about 10% of the world’s landmass. These are concentrated in Greenland and Antarctica and contain 70% of the world’s freshwater. Unfortunately, most of these resources are located far from human habitation and are not readily accessible for human use. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), 96% of the world’s frozen freshwater is at the South and North Poles, with the remaining 4% spread over 550,000 km2 of glaciers and mountainous icecaps measuring about 180,000 km3 (UNEP, 1992; Untersteiner, 1975; WGMS, 1998, 2002). Groundwater is by far the most abundant and readily available source of freshwater, followed by lakes, reservoirs, rivers and wetlands. Analysis indicates that: - Groundwater represents over 90% of the world’s readily available freshwater resource (Boswinkel, 2000). About 1.5 billion people depend upon groundwater for their drinking water supply (WRI, UNEP, UNDP, World Bank, 1998). - The amount of groundwater withdrawn annually is roughly estimated at 600-700 km3, representing about 20% of global water withdrawals (WMO, 1997). - A comprehensive picture of the quantity of groundwater withdrawn and consumed annually around the world does not exist. Most freshwater lakes are located at high altitudes, with nearly 50% of the world’s lakes located in Canada alone. Many lakes, especially those in arid regions, become salty through evaporation, which concentrates the inflowing salts. The Caspian Sea, the Dead Sea, and the Great Salt Lake are among the world’s major salt lakes. Rivers form a hydrologic mosaic, with an estimated 263 international river basins covering 45.3% (231,059,898 km2) of the earth’s land surface, excluding Antarctica (UNEP, Oregon State University et al., in preparation). The total volume of water in the world’s rivers is estimated at 2,115 km3 (Groombridge and Jenkins, 1998).

The availability of oxygen is one of the most important indicators of the condition of a water body, because dissolved oxygen, or DO, (the amount of oxygen dissolved in water) is necessary for most aquatic organisms, including fish and invertebrates. Some species have very defined lower limits of DO that they can tolerate. Increases in DO can indicate improvements in water quality, such as has occurred in many parts of the world in the last 30 years. Over the two decades, rivers in Europe and Australasia have shown a significant statistical reduction in biological oxygen demand concentrations, (an indicator of the organic pollution of freshwater), suggesting positive trends. There was no change in the assessed results for North America, although there was a tighter data distribution, indicating the data available for 1991-2000 is less variable than for previous periods.

Global water type by percentage. Estimates of global water resources based on several different calculation methods have produced varied estimates. Shiklomanov in Gleick (1993) estimated that: - The total volume of water on earth is 1.4 billion km3. - The volume of freshwater resources is 35 million km3, or about 2.5% of the total volume. Of these, 24 million km3 or 68.9% is in the form of ice and permanent snow cover in mountainous regions, and in the Antarctic and Arctic regions. - Some 8 million km3 or 30.8% is stored underground in the form of groundwater (shallow and deep groundwater basins up to 2,000 metres, soil moisture, swamp water and permafrost). This constitutes about 97% of all the freshwater potentially available for human use. - Freshwater lakes and rivers contain an estimated 105,000 km3 or 0.3% of the world’s freshwater. - The total usable freshwater supply for ecosystems and humans is 200,000 km3 of water, which is less than 1% of all freshwater resources, and only 0.01% of all the water on earth (Gleick, 1993; Shiklomanov, 1999).

I decided to begin my ‘Streets Of Ireland 2016’ programme with a visit to Kilkenny and unfortunately I was a bit unlucky with the weather as it rained for most of my three day visit. On Monday I walked around the city centre photographing at random.
Kilkenny is a city located in south-east part of Ireland and the county town of County Kilkenny. It is on both banks of the River Nore in the province of Leinster. The city is administered by a Borough Council and a Mayor which is a level below that of city council in the Local government of the state although the Local Government Act 2001 allows for "the continued use of the description city". The borough has a population of 8,711, but the majority of the population lives outside the borough boundary: the 2011 Irish Census gives the total population of the Borough and Environs as 24,423.
Kilkenny is a popular tourist destination. In 2009 the City of Kilkenny celebrated its 400th year since the granting of city status in 1609. Though referred to as a city, Kilkenny City is the size of a large town, most equatable in size to the town of Navan, situated on the banks of the Boyne in county Meath.
Kilkenny's heritage is evident in the city and environs including the historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower, Rothe House, Shee Alms House, Black Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny Town Hall, St. Francis Abbey, Grace's Castle, and St. John's Priory.
Kilkenny is well known for its culture with craft and design workshops, the Watergate Theatre, public gardens and museums. Annual events include Kilkenny Arts Festival,the Cat Laughs comedy festival and music at the Rhythm and Roots festival and the Source concert. It is a popular base from which to explore the surrounding towns, villages and countryside. Controversy exists at the moment around the Kilkenny Central Access Scheme which is a road proposed to be built through the city centre.
Kilkenny began with an early sixth century ecclesiastical foundation within the kingdom of Ossory. Following Norman invasion of Ireland, Kilkenny Castle and a series of walls were built to protect the burghers of what became a Norman merchant town. William Marshall, Lord of Leinster, gave Kilkenny a charter as a town in 1207. By the late thirteenth century Kilkenny was under Norman-Irish control. The Statutes of Kilkenny passed at Kilkenny in 1367, aimed to curb the decline of the Hiberno-Norman Lordship of Ireland. In 1609 King James I of England granted Kilkenny a Royal Charter giving it the status of a city. Following the Rebellion of 1641, the Irish Catholic Confederation, also known as the "Confederation of Kilkenny", was based in Kilkenny and lasted until the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in 1649.
Kilkenny was a famous brewing centre from the late seventeenth century. In the late twentieth century Kilkenny is a tourist and creative centre.
The Heritage Council offices are located at Church Lane. The seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ossory is at St. Mary's Cathedral and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Cashel and Ossory is at St. Canice's Cathedral. Nearby larger cities include Waterford 45 kilometres (28 mi) south-southeast, Limerick 93 kilometres (58 mi) west and Dublin 101 kilometres (63 mi) northeast.
A fascinating little publication and a version of the Metropolitan & Bakerloo lines works undertaken by London Transport I have not seen before. It was issued in February 1939 a few months before the first phase in this "great scheme of works" entered into service; this was the extension of Bakerloo line services north of Baker Street station through a newly constructed tube line that surfaced at Finchley Road station and took over the Met's Stanmore services as its second north London branch.
The rest of the works, that formed an important part of the massive London Passenger Transport Board's "New Works Programme 1935 - 1940", was as the text describes, due to be completed within two years. However, the outbreak of war in September 1939 was to mean that the programme was to take until 1962 to complete. This would consist of the widening and grade separation of the bulk of the Met up as far as Moor Park and the electrification of tracks from the previous termination point of Rickmansworth to Amersham and Chesham. The driver behind these various works is told in the text - the old pre-1933 Metropolitan Railway had, perhaps unwittingly, by building new branch lines such as to Watford and Stanmore, ended up with a serious congestion problem on the two-track section between Baker Street and Finchley Road that to add to the fun had three station stops in the section. The Met, to their credit, had considered various options that included a 'tube railway' for managing terminating trains at Baker Street that would have consisted of a loop. For various reasons, including finance, this had not happened - the formation of LT in 1933 that included the Met allowed the new London Transport to take, perhaps, a wider view. The construction of the tube tunnels down from Finchley Road allowed passengers from NW London, either directly or by cross-platform interchange at the reconstructed Finchley Rd station, direct access to the West End without the hassles of changing at Baker Street. In addition, the new tube with the two replacement stations, allowed closure of Swiss Cottage, Marlborough Road and St. John's Wood stations on the 'main line' thus increasing line capacity. It is interesting to see on the map that firstly Swiss Cottage tube station is strangely omitted and the station that is shown, St. John's Wood as we now know it, is shown as 'Acacia Road'.
I should also note that, just before closure of the sub-surface line, in June 1939 St. John's Wood was re-named Lords after the adjacent cricket ground. There was an idea to retain this station for match day use but this never came to fruition and it formally closed on 19 November 1939, thus being one of the shortest lived station names on the Underground. In 1979 the Stanmore branch transferred to the 'new' Jubilee line that included new tunnels south of Baker Street. LT had, perhaps unwittingly like the Met before, had also created a problem with capacity in the central London section of the Bakerloo that had two northern branches and one southern terminus.
As noted above, in post-war years the work did slowly re-commence but years of austerity and, to an extent, the newly nationalised London Transport having to argue for capital investment from the 'same pot' as British Railways, meant that it was not until the mid-late 1950s work truly started and moved to completion. Whereas it is true that the Stanmore branch did get 'new trains' in the form of the 1938-tube stock, the Met main line had to wait until the delivery of the new A60/A62-stock some twenty years after this phamplet was printed.
The text is thorough and very much in the language that LT used at the time and, in places, is surprisingly ebullient such as with regards to passengers in the penultimate paragraph! The foreword has that marvellous line that asks passengers "to excuse any temprary deficiencies in the travelling conditions" - that's the LT I knew!
Welcome to the swinging sixties. Programme still sixpence cheaper than for the 1951 Lancs Grand National.
Alkalinity is commonly used to indicate a water body’s capacity to buffer against acidity; that is, the ability to resist, or dampen, changes in pH. Thus, alkaline compounds in water, such as bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides, lower the acidity of the water and increase the pH. Alkalinity (as CaCO3) was analysed for all sampling stations available at the continental level. Concentrations remained reasonably steady between the two decades for Africa, Asia, South America and Australasia, but significant increases were noted for European and North American rivers, which may indicate a shift towards reduced acidic impacts at the continental scale. Overall, during the last 30 years , alkalinity has decreased in North America and Europe, but has significantly increased in Asia. Examination of the outflow stations in 82 monitored river basins indicate a decrease in bicarbonate concentrations between the two decades , in the northern latitudes, including North America, Europe and Asia. For the period 1976-1990, European rivers displayed the highest concentrations of calcium at a continental level, with concentrations varying between 2 mg and 50 mg per litre for major rivers. Comparing the two decades, observations of surface water showed an increase in calcium concentrations in the Laurentian shield region of North America, and in the rivers of the north central European region.

Unsurprisingly, the coastal areas with the greatest population densities are also those with the most shoreline degradation. The areas surrounding the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and southern Asia have the highest proportion of altered land, while the coastal zones of the Arctic, northeast Pacific, south Pacific, West and Central Africa, East Africa, the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden, and Kuwait have the highest proportions of least modified land. In order to better manage and protect the oceans and coasts using effective methods such as Integrated Coastal Management, we also need to continuously improve our understanding of the current state of biophysical, social, and economic relationships and formulate sustainable, ecosystem-based policies and measures that are supported by assessments at national, regional and global scales. Also needed is an overview of the global marine environment that encompasses socio-economic considerations and shows the linkages between the state of the marine environment and human well-being. In response to these needs, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has requested, through Resolution 60/30, that UNEP and UNESCO-IOC co-lead a process which aims to provide a better understanding of the marine assessment landscape to determine the ways in which on-going global, regional and national level assessment work and processes can contribute to the regular assessment and reporting of the state of the marine environment. Options, a framework and the feasibility of establishing such a process (referred to as a ‘Regular Process’) will be proposed to the United Nations General Assembly, in October 2009. Amongst other aims, it will identify linkages between human impacts on the marine environment, environmental change and human well-being and will explore ways to ensure linkages between regions so that issues of common concern can be tackled in a coordinated way, taking into account best practices and regional strengths and capacities. A Regular Process would thus provide a holistic picture that will improve informed decision-making of our global commons.

Increasing floods in between dry periods represent ideal conditions for spreading diseases such as cholera. In Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania located in the desert, precipitations - when they occur - are always accompanied by a cholera epidemic, especially in poor areas where waste matter is not managed. Cholera had almost disappeared globally by the mid 1950s, but it reappeared and spread throughout the world during the last few decades. The World Health Organization (WHO) fears that a rapidly changing climate, combined with declining socio-economic conditions in the poorest part of the population, will contribute to an increasing spread of the disease.

The 1972 Football League Cup Final took place on 4 March 1972 at Wembley Stadium and was contested by Chelsea and Stoke City.
Chelsea went into the match as strong favourites having won the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in the previous two seasons, whereas Stoke were attempting to win their first major trophy. Terry Conroy put Stoke into the lead early on, but Chelsea hit back through Peter Osgood just before half time. Stoke got the decisive final goal from veteran George Eastham to end their 109-year wait for a major honour
United Nation of Nepal bid farewell to 19 trainees of UN Traineeship Programme - Cohort VIII. The 11-month traineeship programme was to train and mentor trainees from socially excluded groups in different areas of Child Protection, Culture, Developmental Research and Documentation, Education, Emergency Preparedness/Disaster Risk Reduction, Environment, Human Rights/Law etc.
At the graduation ceremony UN Resident Coordinator Sara Beysolow Nyanti expressed how fulfilling it was to see the dream that UN had in 2006/2007 are now reality with marginalized groups having more access; and how she was part of it back then, and seeing the fruits of it today. Meanwhile, UNWOMEN trainee Dia Yonjan shared her experiences of traineeship and explained how trainees got to witness and contribute to the immense and important work of the UN in humanitarian field.

Reading a review of Let’s Make an Opera from the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners Advocate 1952 provides a great insight into the performance. The cast consisted of five adults and hundreds of school children which was something of a challenge for the conductor Eric Starling who, ‘sometimes had to act as school teacher as well as conductor to enlist full co-operation from them’.
The play consisted of two parts, the preparation of the opera and its dress rehearsal followed by the actual opera. Audience involvement in the performance was also expected. ‘Owls, herons, turtle-doves and chaffinches will carol together when Newcastle audiences take their part in ‘Let’s Make an Opera”.

THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN AND ANZAC DAY AT THE CENOTAPH, WHITEHALL, LONDON
HOSTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN LONDON
On 25 April 1915 Allied soldiers landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in one of the most ambitious amphibious assaults in history.
More than 550,000 soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Indian sub-continent, Canada and Sri Lanka waged this historic campaign, including 400,000 from Britain alone. 58,000 Allied servicemen and 87,000 from Turkey died in this campaign.
ANZAC Day was established by Australia and New Zealand as an annual day of commemoration to remember their servicemen who died in Gallipoli. The first ANZAC Day march in London took place on 25 April 1916. ANZAC Day has been commemorated in London on 25 April every year since then.

THE PRAYERS
Prayer by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
God our Father, we come together today to honour all those who gave themselves with great courage in service and sacrifice for their country in the Gallipoli Campaign. We pray that their example may continue to inspire us to strive for the common good, that we may build up the harmony and freedom for which they fought and died.
Help us O Lord, to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice, and for the relief of want and suffering. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen.
Hymn led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
I Vow To Thee My Country
All:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Prayer read by Grace van Gageldonk (14 years old) from Australia
God of compassion and mercy, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been
given and taken away.
Enfold in your love, all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror; and guide and protect all those who support and sustain them. Amen.
National anthem Advance Australia Fair
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
‘Advance Australia Fair’.
Prayer read by Kathryn Cooper (11 years old) from New Zealand
God of hope, the source of peace and the refuge of all in distress, we remember those you have gathered from the storm of war into the everlasting peace of your presence; may that same peace calm our fears, bring reconciliation and justice to all peoples, and establish lasting harmony among the nations.
We pray for all members of the armed forces who strive for peace and fight for justice today; bless and keep their families and friends at home awaiting their return. Help us, who today remember the cost of war, to work for a better tomorrow, and bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
National anthem God Defend New Zealand
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
E Ihowā _Atua,
O ngā _iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō _atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa
God of Nations at Thy feet,
in the bonds of love we meet,
hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific’s triple star
from the shafts of strife and war,
make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
Reading Atatürk’s message to bereaved pilgrims, 1934, read by Ecenur Bilgiç (14 years old) from Turkey
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
National anthem İstiklal Marşı (The Independence March)
Led by Burak Gülşen from Turkey, accompanied by the Massed Bands
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal!
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celal?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helal…
Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
Fear not! For the crimson flag that flies at this dawn, shall not fade,
As long as the last fiery hearth that is ablaze in my country endures.
For that is the star of my nation, which will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely that of my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent!
Come smile upon my heroic race! Why this rage, this fury?
The blood we shed for you shall not be blessed otherwise;
For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.

Reading by James McDermott (17 years old) from the United Kingdom
The Attack at Dawn (May, 1915) by Leon Maxwell Gellert (1892–1977)
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
They told us in the early afternoon.
We sit and wait the coming of the sun
We sit in groups, — grey groups that watch the moon.
We stretch our legs and murmur half in sleep
And touch the tips of bayonets and yarn.
Our hands are cold. They strangely grope and creep,
Tugging at ends of straps. We wait the dawn!
Some men come stumbling past in single file.
And scrape the trench’s side and scatter sand.
They trip and curse and go. Perhaps we smile.
We wait the dawn! … The dawn is close at hand!
A gentle rustling runs along the line.
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
A hundred eyes are staring for the sign.
It’s coming! Look! … Our God’s own laughing sun!
Closing prayers by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
Eternal God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed;
Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all, the true love of peace
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the world,
that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward,
and all people may spend their days in security, freedom and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Merciful God
we offer to you the fears in us
that have not yet been cast out by love:
may we accept the hope you have
placed in the hearts of all people,
and live lives of justice, courage and mercy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come, thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give is this day our daily bread.
And forgive is our trespasses,
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead is not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
fro ver and ever. Amen.
The Blessing
God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest,
to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth and all people,
unity, peace and concord,
and to us and all God’s servants, life everlasting;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always. Amen.
National anthem God Save the Queen
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen.
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
They Are At Rest by Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934), sung by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral (unaccompanied)
