Flodden Memorial Revealed

The BBC reports that a memorial to the fallen of Flodden and the mercy shown by the Prioress of Coldstream Priory to the dead and injured has been unveiled on the 493rd anniversary of the battle, September 9th.

Bloggees of an Irish persuasion will note that we should all be celebrating 11 days later given the 'stealing of 11 days' when moving from Julian to Gregorian calendar in the middle of the 18th century (the Battle of the Boyne was on July 1st 1690, not 12th as is commemorated today).
