Duchess of Cornwall,Henry Kissinger arrive at Westminster Abbey memorial service for Lord Carrington
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and American statesman Henry Kissinger were at Westminster Abbey today to remember the extraordinary life of Lord Carrington. Sir John Major also attended the service of thanksgiving for the life and work of the politician being held in London this afternoon. Lord Carrington, who was the last surviving member of Winston Churchill's post-war cabinet and the last Tory Foreign Secretary to quit until Boris Johnson, died a month after his 99th birthday last July. .The peer served in every Conservative administration from Churchill to Margaret Thatcher, before quitting on principle in 1982 after failing to anticipate the Argentine invasion of the Falklands. It is widely considered the most honourable resignation in British political history. .Many of the most influential politicians of recent decades attended today's event and were joined by the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke of Kent, who represented the royal family. And despite being 95, US politician and Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Kissenger was at the service, who Lord Carrington would lovingly tell friends was 'an old mate of mine'. Downing Street described his death as 'very sad news', while Theresa May's effective deputy David Lidington paid tribute to a 'career spent in public service'. Until Boris Johnson left his post over Brexit, Lord Carrington was the last Foreign Secretary to quit his post while in power. His decision 37 years ago, taken in the aftermath of the Argentine attack on the Falklands, is widely regarded as the most honourable resignation of modern times. Thatcher tried to dissuade him from stepping down but he refused, saying it had been his personal responsibility to protect the British overseas territory. He married Iona McClean on 25 April 1942 and they had three children. Lady Carrington died in June 2009, aged 89. A hereditary peer, Carrington served as an agriculture minister in Churchill's post-Second World War government. He went on told hold several of the top jobs in British government, including defense secretary and foreign secretary, until he quit. But the Falklands resignation wasn't the end of his career.He served as the 6th Secretary General of NATO between 1984 and 1988, and is credited with stopping a war between Greece and Turkey in 1987. He had previously chaired the Lancaster House talks in 1979 which led to the establishment of the state of Zimbabwe, and later served as secretary general of Nato from 1984-88. The Eton-educated hereditary peer was a tank commander in the Grenadier Guards during the Second World War, winning the Military Cross in the North-Western Europe campaign.

SUMMARY
=======
Lancaster University (legally the University of Lancaster) is a collegiate public research university in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. The university was established by royal charter in 1964, one of several new universities created in the 1960s.
The university was initially based in St Leonard's Gate in the city centre, before moving in 1968 to a purpose-built 300 acres (120 ha) campus at Bailrigg, 4 km (2.5 mi) to the south. The campus buildings are arranged around a central walkway known as the Spine, which is connected to a central plaza, named Alexandra Square in honour of its first chancellor, Princess Alexandra.
Lancaster is one of only six collegiate universities in the UK; the colleges are weakly autonomous. The eight undergraduate colleges are named after places in the historic county of Lancashire, and each have their own campus residence blocks, common rooms, administration staff and bar.
Lancaster is ranked in the top ten in all three national league tables, and received a Gold rating in the Government's inaugural (2017) Teaching Excellence Framework. In 2018 it was awarded University of the Year by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, and achieved its highest ever national ranking of 6th place within the guide's national table. The annual income of the institution for 2016-17 was £267.0 million of which £37.7 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £268.7 million.Along with the universities of Durham, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York, Lancaster is a member of the N8 Group of research universities. Elizabeth II, Duke of Lancaster, is the visitor of the University. The current chancellor is Alan Milburn, since 2015.

Bletchley Park Milton Keynes - Code Breaking Centre Visit 06..04.10.
Hi Friends
I visited Bletchley Park on Tuesday 6th April and what an experience! I did rather think it night be for geeks but not a bit. I would recommend a visit and if you like electronics from the very first real real computers this is the place to visit.
Churchill my hero and voted the greatest Englishman said The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing field of Eaton, the battle of the Atlantic was won at Bletchley Park
The book I mention: Bletchley Park People - Marion Hill and published by Sutton Publishing Ltd (2008) ISBN 978-0-7509-3362-9 A very good insight into the workings of Bletchley Park.
The guild was Peter Jarvis who worked at Bletchley and is married to a Code Breaker. This man brought the place alive for me and such a character. A man who is very much part of BP.
Tony Sale is a man who's project reproduced the Colossus Machine from nothing with others as the plans were destroyed after the war and who signed my book. The Computing Museum is well worth a visit.
If you like trains, cars and other things of Wartime interest BP is worth a visit.
From the BP Website:
The Enigma cypher was the backbone of German military and intelligence communications. Invented in 1918, it was initially designed to secure banking communications, but achieved little success in that sphere. The German military, however, were quick to see its potential.
They thought it to be unbreakable, and not without good reason. Enigma's complexity was bewildering. Typing in a letter of plain German into the machine sent electrical impulses through a series of rotating wheels, electrical contacts and wires to produce the encyphered letter, which lit up on a panel above the keyboard. By typing the resulting code into his own machine, the recipient saw the decyphered message light up letter by letter. The rotors and wires of the machine could be configured in many, many different ways. The odds against anyone who did not know the settings being able to break Enigma were a staggering 150 million million million to one.
The Poles had broken Enigma in 1932, when the encoding machine was undergoing trials with the German Army. They even managing to reconstruct a machine. At that time, the cypher altered only once every few months. With the advent of war, it changed at least once a day, effectively locking the Poles out. But in July 1939, they had passed on their knowledge to the British and the French. This enabled the codebreakers to make critical progress in working out the order in which the keys were attached to the electrical circuits, a task that had been impossible without an Enigma machine in front of them.
Armed with this knowledge, the codebreakers were then able to exploit a chink in Enigma's armour. A fundamental design flaw meant that no letter could ever be encrypted as itself; an A in the original message, for example, could never appear as an A in the code. This gave the codebreakers a toehold. Errors in messages sent by tired, stressed or lazy German operators also gave clues. In January 1940 came the first break into Enigma.
It was in Huts 3,6,4 and 8 that the highly effective Enigma decrypt teams worked. The huts operated in pairs and, for security reasons, were known only by their numbers. The codebreakers concentrating on the Army and Air Force cyphers were based in Hut 6, supported by a team in the neighbouring Hut 3 who turned the decyphered messages into intelligence reports. Hut 8 decoded messages from the German Navy, with Hut 4 the associated naval intelligence hut. Their raw material came from the 'Y' Stations: a web of wireless intercept stations dotted around Britain and in a number of countries overseas. These stations listened in to the enemy's radio messages and sent them to Bletchley Park to be decoded and analysed.
To speed up the codebreaking process, the brilliant mathematician Alan Turing developed an idea originally proposed by Polish cryptanalysts. The result was the Bombe: an electro-mechanical machine that greatly reduced the odds, and thereby the time required, to break the daily-changing Enigma keys.

Richard
