BERMUDA, EXPLORING the ABANDONED CATHEDRAL of St George, amazing images
SUBSCRIBE: - Rising high into the air, this neo-gothic structure sits atop the north end of Kent Street in the historic town of St. George’s, Bermuda. Upon first glance, the structure appears to be the ruins of a once elegant and grand gothic church. It is the kind of structure that one can almost imagine poets, authors, and painters converging under to lull away the time, daydreaming about their various passions. In truth however, it is the ruins of a structure, started in 1874, intended to replace another church, St. Peter’s Church.
Bermuda is a British island territory in the North Atlantic Ocean known for its pink-sand beaches such as Elbow Beach and Horseshoe Bay. Its massive Royal Naval Dockyard complex combines modern attractions like the interactive Dolphin Quest with maritime history at the National Museum of Bermuda. The island has a distinctive blend of British and American culture, which can be found in the capital, Hamilton.

Inside the Vaults of the Mastworks Museum: Hidden Gems of Bermuda
The islands of Bermuda have long been the inspiration for artists like Georgia O'Keeffe and Winslow Homer. To see their work and that of many other island artists, head to the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art. Don't just visit the museum and take the tour. Every year, Masterworks displays only a fraction of its impressive collection, so a prearranged tour of the vaults is the best way to see pieces of art. Check out works by Winslow Homer and other masters in Peter Greenberg's latest Hidden Gems of Bermuda.
Saint George
Saint George (Greek: Γεώργιος Georgios; Classical Syriac: ܓܝܘܪܓܝܣ Giwargis; Latin: Georgius; c. 275/281 – 23 April 303 AD), born in Lydda, Roman Palestine, was a soldier in the Roman army and was later venerated as a Christian martyr. His father was Gerontius, a Greek Christian from Cappadocia, and an official in the Roman army. His mother, Polychronia was a Christian from Roman Palestine. Saint George became an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian. In hagiography, Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic (Western and Eastern Rites), Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April (May 6), and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints.
Many Patronages of Saint George exist around the world, including: Georgia, England, Egypt, Bulgaria, Aragon, Catalonia, Romania, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Iraq, Lebanon, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Serbia, Macedonia, Ukraine, Russia and Syria, as well as the cities of Genoa, Amersfoort, Beirut, Botoşani, Drobeta Turnu-Severin, Timișoara, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg im Breisgau, Kragujevac, Kumanovo, Ljubljana, Pérouges, Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, Rio de Janeiro, Lydda, Lviv, Barcelona, Moscow and Victoria, as well as of the Scout Movement and a wide range of professions, organizations, and disease sufferers including leprosy, plague, herpes and syphilis.

Three Counties Show part 2, 1950's - Film 41590
A banner bears the message, Welcome to Leominster, The Great Three Counties Show. People are arriving at the Show and are paying at the gate. An elderly man with a white beard is Mr Elijah Molyneux, 89, a big farmer and once Mayor of the town. Mr Archer Baldwin, the Conservative MP for North Herefordshire, arrives with his wife, Minnie, and they chat with Bill Gallimore, the official auctioneer through Russell, Baldwin and Bright for the Hereford Herdbook.
Guests arrive at the Bandstand. Briony Hastings, daughter of Mr Glynne Hastings, long serving Secretary of the Society, presents bouquets to Lady Lettice Cotterell and the Mayoresses of Hereford, Gloucester, Worcester and Leominster. A Government delegation of visiting farmers from Nigeria dressed in traditional costumes take their places.
A procession of dignitaries from the three counties in ceremonial dress is led by the Mayor of Leominster, in red robes and the Aldermen in purple. The man using a crutch is Sidney Layton, a farmer from Ivington. The Councillors, including Dennis Rowland Jones, wear blue cloaks. The tall man is Norman Davies, who owned the Corn Square Pharmacy in Leominster until the late Eighties.
Adrian Foster, one of two shop-owning brothers is also in this procession.
Two members of the Leominster procession carry the Town maces which were given to the town in 1723 by the Right Honourable Thomas, Lord Coningsby as replacements for three earlier ones presented to the town by two of his forebears in the seventeenth century, which subsequently disappeared. The ceremonial Mayor’s Wand is also carried. This is a plain black ebony stick tipped with a band of silver and bearing the date 1659.
The Hereford Mayor wears a scarlet robes trimmed with velvet and a solid gold chain containing twenty-four medallions showing aspects of the City and county such as apples, hops, a Hereford Bull, Wye Salmon and military insignia. The liveried men have dark coats with gold braiding. The fur Cap of Maintenance is one granted to ten principal cities of England by Queen Elizabeth 1 as a reward in support of the sovereign and is carried by the sword bearer.
The dignitaries line up facing the distinguished guests and some doff their hats. In front of them stands the ducking stool, an ancient instrument of punishment in which nagging wives could be dunked in the river.
The Master of Ceremonies in scarlet tailcoat speaks to Sir Richard Cotterell and Glynne Hastings, bowler hat and gloves in hand strides off on some errand. Three farmers look on.
In the main arena the pipers of the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders march on. Officials talk to members of the African delegation who take their seats. The crowds stand as the procession arrives.
Two horses pull a dray advertising the brewery, Mitchells and Butlers. Two skewbald ponies trot by pulling a smaller trap. Then there are shire horses with foals. Show-jumping is taking place and a parade of horses in pairs. The North Herefordshire Foxhounds are led by three hunt servants, each on a grey horse. There are several more traps drawn by trotting ponies, one driven by a woman.
Two policemen walk through the trade stands. Alexander and Duncan’s stand, still a thriving firm today, shows a fine display of agricultural machinery. Along comes a little man, wide trousers, cloth cap, “bum-freezer” jacket, cigarette in mouth – and then back he comes again. Taylor and Ward, ironmongers and only recently disappeared from Leominster, display their agricultural accessories, and Hintons, still a strong element in Leominster have a trade stand too.

SUMMARY
=======
Bermuda () is a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is approximately 1,070 km (665 mi) east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina; 1,236 km (768 mi) south of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia; and 1,759 km (1,093 mi) north of Cuba. The capital city is Hamilton. Bermuda is self-governing, with its own constitution and its own government, which enacts local laws, while the United Kingdom retains responsibility for defence and foreign relations.
Bermuda's two largest economic sectors are offshore insurance and reinsurance, and tourism. Bermuda had one of the world's highest GDP per capita for most of the 20th century. The island has a subtropical climate and lies in the hurricane belt and thus is prone to related severe weather; however, it is somewhat protected by a coral reef that surrounds the island and its position at the north of the belt, which limits the direction and severity of approaching storms.
