Paul McCartney - Pipes Of Peace (Official Music Video, Remastered) Upscaled to Full HD, color corrected and interpolated frame-rate, enjoy! At Chobham Common, Surrey, the video was shot for "Pipes of Peace", depicting the famous 1914 Christmas truce between British and German troops. It portrays a British and a German soldier, both played by McCartney, who meet up in No Man's Land and exchange photos of their loved ones while other soldiers fraternise and play football. When a shell blast forces the two armies to retreat to their own trenches both men realise that they still have each other's pictures. The video was produced by Hugh Symonds, featured more than 100 extras, and for added realism McCartney had his hair cut short especially for the shoot. In November 2014, the British supermarket chain Sainsbury's, in partnership with the Royal British Legion, produced a Christmas advert whose look and narrative were widely recognized as being based on McCartney's "Pipes of Peace"...

Word of the day is ‘erumpent’ (17th century), which describes buds and blossom that are bursting forth with vigour. Can also be used of energetic humans.

Happy St Patrick's Day! Thinking of this magical place, Inis Oírr, Aran Islands.

The University of Manchester and Garden Court North Chambers are set to host a lecture on 13 February 2025, by award-winning Guardian journalist David Conn, on the Hillsborough disaster, and the subsequent legal failings that led to a decades-long fight for justice.
