Heartbreak for King Charles

 

Heartbreak for King Charles


The king’s close friend Captain Ian Farquhar has died. He was 78 years old.

Ian had been friends with both the King and Queen Camilla for a long time. He had also been the Queen Mother’s rider.

He was also a famous hunter and a great horseman who served in the Queen’s Own Hussars.

Another blow to the King, who already has to deal with his own cancer diagnosis. Lord (Jacob) Rothschild died last week at the age of 87.

In 2000, when Prince William was on his gap year, he dated Ian’s daughter Rose Farquhar. The two went on romantic picnics in the Gloucestershire countryside.

Ian had rented a farmhouse on the King’s Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire for many years.

Stephen Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla’s first husband, told the Daily Mail that Ian had been very sick.

Andy told them that Ian had died at Highgrove early Wednesday morning.

He said the man was “as wild as a hawk when he was young, but always a lot of fun.”

He said that Ian would go down in history as “one of the great Master of Hounds.”

For 34 years, Ian was Master of the Beaufort Hunt.

This is what the Beaufort Hunt wrote on Instagram to honor its former master.

The hunt said, “It breaks our hearts to send our love and condolences to the family and friends of our own Captain Ian Farquhar. He flew us so well for 34 years and died peacefully this week.”

“Many people in the hunting community loved and respected him as “Captain.” He was helpful, friendly, and always there to give great, forward-thinking advice to anyone who asked.

“He had a wicked sense of humor, and anyone who was lucky enough to be with him and hear about his very different and exciting life in the army and as a hunter will remember those times forever.”

Captain loved hounds, his family, and dogs. We know that up there, a whole pack of dogs will be waiting for him, excited to be with him again.

The devil waits at every crossroads: a walk between darkness and light on Dartmoor

  The devil waits at every crossroads: a walk between darkness and light on Dartmoor The new 38-mile Archangel’s Way, a pilgrimage route in a rugged corner of Devon, straddles Christendom and ancient pagan sites T he story of the church of St Michael de Rupe begins – as all the best Dartmoor stories do – on a dark and stormy night. A sailor, stricken in a wild and furious sea, fell to the deck of his ship to pray for salvation. The almighty unveiled a mountain in the midst of the tempest where the ship duly made landfall: in gratitude the sailor built a church on its summit. The devil – who had unleashed that evil storm – did his best to prise the church from its foundations, but Archangel Michael sprung to its defence and became the patron of this Devon parish. The tale has many versions, but this is the general gist. Today, St Michael de Rupe counts as the highest working church in southern England – poised dramatically on top of a western outlier of Dartmoor’s tor...

This cop got carried away, and forgot there were cameras recording when he

  This cop got carried away, and forgot there were cameras recording when he A woman walks into a police station and tells the officer, “I think my husband is having an affair!” The officer asks, “How do you know?” “Well,” she says, “He keeps calling this woman ‘honey’ and ‘sweetheart,’ and he even calls her ‘my love.’” The officer sighs and says, “Ma’am, that’s just how people talk on the phone.” The woman says, “But he doesn’t even know her phone number!” The officer looks confused. “He doesn’t know her number? How does he call her?” The woman rolls her eyes and says, “He calls her from the toilet!” The officer bursts out laughing. “Ma’am, you’re hilarious! What makes you think he’s talking to someone else?” The woman says, “Because he’s always yelling, ‘Hold on a second, I’m going to get a roll of toilet paper!’”

How to Make a DIY Carboard RC Plane (1-10)

  How to Make a DIY Carboard RC Plane Hello, fellow makers!👋  I'm excited to share my latest project with you—building a remote-controlled airplane from cardboard.✈️ As an RC enthusiast who loves drones and everything related to remote-controlled vehicles, I always wanted to create my own plane, but I was put off by the high costs and complexity of traditional materials. So, I decided to take a different approach and use readily available and affordable materials like cardboard. However, I was initially hesitant because I wasn't sure if a plane made of cardboard would actually fly. But after doing some research and putting my design skills to the test, I decided to go for it. 🛠️ In this instructable, I'll guide you through the process of building a sturdy and functional RC airplane using a cardboard fuselage and wings, along with a few 3D-printed parts and the electronics. This project was not only fun and educational but also incredibly rewarding. I learned a...
