You're looking at survivors of Britain's 'Light Brigade' photographed by Roger Fenton shortly after their ill-fated charge at the Battle of Balaclava. It happened on this day in 1854.

Probably my favourite version. It's much less bombastic than Olivier's or Branagh's. #StCrispinsDay

A number of manuscripts in the renowned Cotton collection were damaged or destroyed in the fire at Ashburnham House, London, #OTD in 1731. The Lindisfarne Gospels, pictured, and the Durham Liber Vitae were among those to survive.
The page in the Lindisfarne Gospels that bears the exquisitely illuminated chi-rho, a monogram used to symbolise the name of Christ.
