A lot of people posted the fantastic music and eulogies from Shane's funeral. I was really touched by Fr Pat Gilbert's words in is homily, about how the music of the times helped during the troubles. Worth 2 minutes of your time. #ShaneMacGowan #ShaneMacGowanfuneral

I’ve spent this afternoon watching the funeral of Shane McGowan. I have never seen anything like it. Such joy, pride and sadness in a poet who spoke not only for a generation but for a diaspora that was often forgotten #RipShaneMacGowan We are a nation of superb musicians.

#OnThisDay 1921 Michael Collins & the Irish delegates sign the Anglo-Irish Treaty ending the War of Independence. Many saw it as a stepping stone to complete independence, others as a stab in the back. Collins stated; "I have signed my own death warrant". #Ireland #History

These are the last lines of the last speech ever typed for President Kennedy, intended for remarks on November 22, 1963 at the Democratic State Committee in Austin, Texas. The speech: jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/…
Neither the fanatics nor the faint-hearted are needed. And our duty as a Party is not to our Party alone, but to the nation, and, indeed, to all mankind. Our duty is not merely the preservation of political power but the preservation of peace and freedom. So let us not be petty when our cause is so great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our Nation's future is at stake. Let us stand together with renewed confidence in our cause -- united in our heritage of the past and our hopes for the future -- and determined that this land we love shall lead all- mankind into new frontiers of peace and abundance.
