Добавлен 18 дек 2007
Proud to be Welsh and British. Keen for people all over the world to know more about Wales, and my home city Cardiff (which has the oldest record shop in the Universe and so many choirs that many people belong to several at the same time). Hobbies: music (mainly classical); history (especially 20th century); art; architecture; zany European gameshows (hence all the clips from Jeux Sans Frontieres - why don't they bring it back!); being a dad (when I have the energy!); rediscovering Welsh language and culture. Lifelong love affair with northern California from days of seeing it in movies as a child; one time resident of Berkeley, and Cal student. Great fan of the British monarchy, but wish they hadn't slaughtered the Welsh monarchy! Oh yes - and I love a good ghost story!
San Francisco: The City That Waits To Die
First: apologies for the muting of the opening soundtrack and the premature cut off of the last two minutes of this programme. This was due to a RUclips automated edit removing copyright marked music.Nevertheless I hope you enjoy this ground breaking and controversial documentary made by the BBC in 1970 about San Francisco. It pointed out that city planners were ignoring warnings from scientists and erecting key public buildings on the Bay Area's numerous faults. The programme was even banned from broadcast for a time in the Bay Area. However, the programme makers delivered a remarkable public service by warning of the dangers, and it did lead to action. Apologies for the poor quality of ...

Apologies for the poor quality but this was captured from a 1994 VHS recording of a terrestrial TV broadcast! The event was significant in that it was performed in July 1994 in Cardiff, Capital City of Wales, before Prince Charles on the 25th anniversary of his investiture as Prince of Wales. My connection? I had the privilege of being one of the chorus members. An unforgettable experience. The...

Wales from the air conclusion

A final word from English journalist Renee Cutforth is the last instalment of this innovative BBC documentary from the late 1960s. Most notable about it is the beautiful choral rendition you hear in the background of one of the most well loved Welsh folk songs Dafydd y Garreg Wen (David of the White Rock). It is so rare to find such pure renditions of this piece now.

The rebellion in Wales takes a much more dramatic turn as Owain and his men launch the first of a series of major battles against the English forces - all of which they win dramatically despite being heavily outnumbered, thanks to their tactics and the renowned skills of the Welsh with the longbow. This moves from being an annoying rebellion in the western flank of Britain to creating a mood of...

Glyndwr has declared himself Prince of Wales, in defiance of King Henry IV of England, who has declared his own son (the future King Henry V)Prince of Wales (as had been the custom since the conquest of Wales by King Edward I). This infuriates the King, but the situation soon becomes serious when the "September Rampage" begins - destruction of a number of English-occupied towns in North Wales. ...

I straight up love the way that man calmy commented when he heard crashing sound. Balls.
Don't forget this all happened in a time where married women with childeren were not allowed to remain at their jobs. 30 years before this, women weren't even allowed to vote in most parts of the world.

Sad that we never got our Welsh History at David Hughes school. Menai bridge. It should have been taught. Other history was!!!! But NOT Welsh hannes Owain Glyndwr.
That guy is so full of shit
I do hope that the brave serviceman is at peace now. God bless his soul and so grateful for his heroism in the war.

It probably died in the building if his body was taken away then in all probability he stayed behind
If I could afford it I would buy up the land and rebuild Borley rectory exactly as it was
The Celts called them 'thin places' where two worlds touch.
Beautiful and apt. What great history in the Isles where you are. Here's to peace in our 🌍🇬🇧❤️
Far, far more credible an experience than all the modern day ghost hunting video tripe of today’s standards. Just a shame the recording equipment back then wasn’t as good as today’s tech. The modern day ghost hunters, and there’s many hundreds of them on RUclips have driven any possible credibility surrounding the subject deep into the ground due to the nonsense fake trash that gets produced today.
It's truly easy to gather EVPs/ITC in one's own spaces. Tbh - tho it may seem silly - I believe positive thoughts and good vibes create the best outcome - with a relaxed, unforced presence. Happy trails 💫🦋
To true, I should know I was there at the time of recording
@@tyggdrasil8698. You was there when this video recording was made? Please tell us more.
@@grumpygramps1451 Sorry for delay, was to busy never checked. Yes when I was 27 working at STL Laboratory’s in Harlow Geoff was working there in the store’s, he showed a book on Borley Rectory. He new that I was interested in Psychic Phenomena and had experienced a phenomena before. The idea was to see for ourselves wether the entity had truth, all if things were still happening. To cut a long story short the recording ( of which I have the original ). I am not sure how this came to the ear of a BBC film producer/writer of what we were doing in Borley Church and contacted Geoff to listen to the tape for authenticity, he proved that it had not been tampered with. His name was D Densham, not sure on the spelling, and asked if he could accompany us with more more professional equipment. He visited Borley a number of times and on the third visit we stayed locked in the church were a number of things occurred, we felt the entity join us, the atmosphere became extremely cold as it passed through the 3 of us, then something was thrown at us , followed by strange spectacle’s of light, I think I have a tape of this occasion. I would like to mention here that the first set of equipment refused to work although it was checked on entry. The second recorder had it’s tape pulled out. I could go on for weeks about the things going on at Borley over a period of five years, the research we carried out, library’s, Euston University were the Harry Price museum is housed, people, church yards, houses that we visited to find more information about the Bull family, The Forster Family, past occupants of the Rectory. I am 80 years old now although I don’t look it, and still researching, not Borley though, more things did go on at Borley than I have mentioned here, but the visits was not to convince others it was to prove to ourselves , not mention to be shared. In the end Peter Underwood got wind of it, we then visited him at the Ghost club in London, he was interested in what we had achieved. We are mentioned in his book The Ghosts of Borley, you can also Google Roy potter. Hope you enjoy, and I can honestly say there was no pulling of strings behind curtains.
I did reply to you, but it looks like you never received the post, could you let me know please
Utter cobblers.

There’s a great statue of Glydwr in Corwen, where author John Cowper Powys lived and wrote his book. Have fond memories of visiting there in North Wales, and climbing Snowden.
6:23 Turn up the volume and listen closely. Someone says “pull the string!” and seconds later there’s a loud bang! They’ve been pulling our legs.
Could the sighing and footstep noises have been made by a tramp sheltering for the night? I do remember this programme, but I was a kid when I saw it, easily impressionable when it came to the supernatural.
Do people still visit Borley Church and do they still experience phenomena? The Borley Rectory story was well known for years, now it seems to have faded into obscurity.

Huw Edwards did a pretty good job on this, he isn't my favourite presenter, but this was some decent work
VIVAT REGINA ELIZABETHA is he best part of the coronation
Queen first Royal Tour to Ceylon Sri Lanka was in 1954 stayed 10days covered many places in Sri Lanka Again she toured Sri Lanka in 1981 for three days She did not attend the Commonwealth Countries conference held in Sri Lanka in 2014 she was represented by Prince Charles now King of England 🏴 When President Mahinda Rajapakse was the Executive President of Sri Lanka 2005 to 2015
The idea with the harp is great, but a) the girl walking around is a bit irritating, she attracts a bit too much attention, given she is being heard over the other instruments anyway and b) this should really be played with an orchestra harp whether acoustic or electric, with a good wooden sound board and volume for a fine harp sound. I am not happy with the flat, buzzing sound of a small lap harp. The piece itself is great, we are currently playing it with our school orchestra :-D
Breaks my heart to think the late Queen Mother was asked to give a speech assuring people the King was making excellent recovery when he was in his death bed. It took a lot of strength and courage to do this and she handled it well…
We all know ghosts do not exist. And these people are nothing but a fraud... Researching the base/building prior to doing these visits...
Shalom
WIDE BACKED VAGINA ELIZABETHAAAAA
It was very interesting to see the coronation of King Charles III, and to compare how the ceremonies played out. Despite the coronation of a Queen Consort, and the scaled down military presence, they were almost identical. The only major difference was the number of people present, and the attire worn. The nobility left their coronets at home, and there were 6,000 fewer people in the Abbey. To this day I find it astonishing they fit 8,000 people inside that building for the Queen's coronation. I can understand why they didn't want to build massive risers and balcony booths this time around. God save the Queen! Long Live the King!

I've started trying to collect Peter Underwood's books. Very interesting stuff and well written. I would recommend also, the BBC radio documentary about Borley.

No mention of Owain Glyndwr taking Cardiff castle from the English - twice! ✊🏴⚔️ Pity they couldn't get a narrator with a Welsh accent.
