Attending the BBC VE 80 concert in London on behalf of the @rlcmuseum.bsky.social last night was pretty smashing. A moving blend of personal testimony, commemoration and celebration.

I promised our Collections Team that I wouldn't refer to this as 'the spooky chair' on socials. With that in mind, come and see A COMPLETELY NORMAL CHAIR (once owned by the commandant of WW2 POW camps in Hong Kong) in our new temporary exhibition honouring #VEDay and #VJDay #CompletelyNormalChair

Very excited for @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social new book Ring of Fire, fresh out today. Time for a g&t and some war.
