Winter Wedding Showcase
With a particularly busy year at Royal Museums Greenwich coming up in 2020, we wanted our second wedding showcase of the year to focus on what is usually the quieter wedding season and show our couples some winter wonders! We started working on the day back in September, coordinating a variety of suppliers offering our clients a real taste of what they can do, not only at Queen’s House but at our four other venues too. Days like these offer us a chance to engage with our couples in a more relaxed and sociable environment, whilst enabling them to engage with a range of suppliers and see them in action!

Sailing into exile: Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn’s account of Napoleon’s journey to St Helena
With Napoleon Bonaparte having surrendered to British forces following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo it was decided to send him into exile once again, this time to the remote South Atlantic island of St Helena. Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn was given the task of transporting the former Emperor to the island on board HMS Northumberland and the Caird Library and Archive holds an extract from his journal (RMG ID: COC/9) covering these events.

When is dawn?
Getting up ‘at the crack of dawn’ is not something enjoyed by many, but for some religions, dawn has a much larger significance.
