Football's World Cup stolen
20th March 1966: The football World Cup has been stolen
while on exhibition at Central Hall in Westminster, London.
The £30,000 solid gold Jules Rimet trophy disappeared while a
church service was taking place in another part of the building.
Thieves removed the cup from the "Sport with Stamps" display at the
Stampex exhibition, but stamps worth £3m were left behind.
At least two guards were in the hall at the time of the theft. AlsaGuard, the security firm at the exhibition, was not available for
comment.
The trophy was to be the centre-piece of the World Cup tournament
being hosted by Britain later this year.
Police say a suspicious-looking man was seen in the building at the
time of the theft. He is described as being in his early 30s, of average
height with thin lips, greased black hair and a possible scar on his
face. The Jules Rimet trophy is named after a French lawyer who was a president of FIFA and initiated the World
Cup competition in 1929. Brazil have been holders of the Cup for the last eight years, after winning both the 1958
and 1962 competitions.
Kidnap attempt on Princess Anne
20th March 1974: Princess Anne and her husband Captain
Mark Phillips have escaped an apparent kidnap attempt in which four
people were wounded.
The royal couple were returning to Buckingham Palace along Pall
Mall when their chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce was forced to halt by
another car which blocked their route.
A man appeared from a light coloured vehicle and fired six shots, all
of which it is said were not directed at the royal couple, but left four
people in hospital.
The Princess' private detective Inspector James Beaton fired at the
man before he was wounded and the chauffer Alex Callender, one of
the Queen's senior drivers, was also injured.
A police officer chased the man and brought him to the ground
before arresting him.
The Princess is said to be shocked but not injured in any way.
The incident raises concerns as to how the precise whereabouts of two members of the Royal Family would be
known to a member of the public.
The man has been charged and taken into custody for questioning and is expected to appear before magistrates
tomorrow.

Born on Nov. 30, 1874 at his family's ancestral home, Blenheim
Palace, to one of the most prominent families in the British
history, Winston Churchill would grow up to become of the most
important figures of the 20th century leading Great Britain during
the darkest day of World War II where, as President John F.
Kennedy once noted, he used the English language as a powerful
weapon of war.
Indeed, his use of the language in speeches, remarks and writings
has made him one of the most quotable persons in history. His
father was Lord Randolph Churchill, the second son of the Duke
of Marlborough, while his mother was Jenny Jerome, the
daughter of a wealthy American family.
Short and red-haired and raised by a nanny until sent away to boarding school, Churchill was educated at
Harrow and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. In 1894, he was commissioned an officer in the 4th
Hussars. Taking leave in 1895, Churchill paid the first of many visits to his mother's homeland, the United
States, and saw his first action in Cuba as a war correspondent for the London Daily Graphic. He later
served on the northern frontier in India and in 1898 fought at the decisive battle against the Dervish at
Omdurman under Lord Kitchner where he participated in the last major cavalry charge of the British
Army.
Resigning his commission, he went to South Africa to cover the Boer War as a correspondent. Captured
by the Boers, his subsequent daring escape made him a national hero. He used that fame to win election
to the House of Commons just 10 short months later as a member of the Conservative Party. In 1904, he
joined the Liberal Party and held a variety of cabinet posts culminating in his appointment as first lord of
the admiralty in 1911. In that office, he presided over the naval expansion that preceded World War I.
His career was nearly destroyed by the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in 1915, which he had sponsored,
and he was forced to resign his post at the Admiralty. He then commanded an infantry battalion in the
trenches of the Western Front in France.
Returning to the coalition government formed by Prime Minister David Lloyd George in 1917, he became
first minister of munitions and then secretary of state for war and for air (1918-21) where he championed
tank warfare. He also negotiated the peace treaty, which ended the rebellion in Ireland and established
both the Irish Free State (which became the Irish Republic in 1948) and Northern Ireland. When the
coalition government collapsed in 1922, Churchill was defeated for re-election to Parliament. He returned
to the Conservative Party in 1924 and was again elected to Parliament where he became Chancellor of
the Exchequer. A post he was totally unsuited before.
Ousted from government in 1928, Churchill remained in Parliament and the public eye through his
writings, speeches and frequent radio commentaries in both Great Britain and the United States, but was
denied a cabinet post for a decade in what historians have termed "The Wilderness Years." One of the
most vocal opponents of communism and The Soviet Union, Churchill was one of the first to realize the
danger to the world presented by the rise to power of Adolph Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. Often a
voice crying in the wilderness, fellow members of Parliament frequently shouted down Churchill when he
spokes about the need for Britain to rearm to meet the growing menace of Nazism.
But in one of the most stunning triumphs by an individual in history, Churchill manage to bring not only
his fellow countrymen but much of the rest of the world, including the United States, to join him in the
life-or-death fight against Nazism.
When World War II broke out in September 1939, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appointed
Churchill to his old post as first lord of the admiralty. In May 1940, when Chamberlain was forced to
resign, Churchill became prime minister when he was nearly 60 years of age.
But if ever there was the right man at the right time in the right place, it was Churchill in 1940. His
magnificent oratory, his energy and his stubborn refusal to accept anything rather than total victory were
crucial in rallying British resistance and keeping that nation and its empire in the war during the dark days
between 1940 and 1942. Moreover, he was absolutely essential in securing the military and political
backing of the United States prior to that nation's entry into the war in December 1941.
In his first speech to The House of Commons on May 13, 1940 --- just three days after becoming prime
minister --- Churchill warned the members "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."
Then, after the disaster in France and the evacuation of the British Army from the beaches of Dunkirk,
Churchill, on June 4, 1940, spoke to Parliament on the possibility of a German invasion and what Britain's
reaction would be: "We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in
the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!"
Indeed, Churchill's whole defiant, never admit defeat attitude was best summed up in a Oct. 29, 1941
speech to the pupils at his old public (private) school at Harrow: "Never give in --- never, never, never,
never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good
sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
Forming a lasting personal alliance with American president Franklin D. Roosevelt, Churchill proved the
perfect ally --- maintaining the aims of Great Britain while allowing the more powerful United States to
assume the dominant role in the prosecution of the war both in Western Europe against Germany and
Italy and in the Pacific Ocean against Japan.
Strongly supported by an admiring British public during the war, Churchill nevertheless was defeated in
national elections held in July 1945, just three months after the surrender of Germany, by the Labour
Party, which had pledged rapid social reforms.
But Churchill's voice on the world stage was far from silenced. In 1946 during a visit to the United States,
Churchill made one of the most important speeches of the 20th century at Fulton College in Missouri.
Deploring the expansion of the Soviet Union throughout Eastern Europe, it was during that speech that
he coined the phrase "Iron Curtain."
Once again assuming the office of prime minister from 1951 to his resignation in 1955, the man who as a
young officer participated in a cavalry charge led his nation into the nuclear age. In the winter of his long
life, Churchill was knighted, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing and oratory and in 1963
was made an honorary citizen of the United States. He retained his seat in Parliament until 1964, less
than a year before his death.
He died in 1965 at the age of 90 and his death marked the end of an era not only n British history, but in
world history. Given a state funeral (the music he chose to be played was the American "Battle Hymn of
the Republic") he was buried at his ancestral home of Blenheim Palace.
In death, Churchill left behind one of the greatest political and personal legacies in history. And unrivalled
combination of restless activity, active imagination and a gambler's daring marked both his life and career
and led him to the heights of power and world prestige. Yet, ironically, those very characteristics at times
proved to be his greatest weaknesses, which time and time again until the desperate days of 1940 denied
him the power he so craved.
The BBC began broadcasting television programmes aimed
specifically at children in 1946. These were broadcast under
the catchall title of For The Children and aired around 5
o'clock each day. Among the favourites was Annette Mills
with the stories of her puppet friends including Muffin the
Mule.
An experiment in the summer of 1950 saw a programme
aimed at the pre-school audience at home with mother.
Airing at the tail end of entertainment made for housewives,
Andy Pandy was a puppet toddler who would encourage the
real toddlers watching to join in his songs and dancing.
Andy Pandy was joined by Bill and Ben, the mischievous Flower Pot Men, in December 1952. At this time
Head of Children's Programmes Freda Lingstrom hoped that Andy and The Flower Pot Men would be
joined before long by more playmates in the New Year and hinted these programmes might well be aired
under the new title Watch With Mother.
It wasn't until 1953, with the expansion of programmes to three afternoons a week (Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays) that the Watch With Mother title finally came into use. The banner was
intended to deflect fears that television might become a nursemaid to children and encourage 'bad
mothering'.
Later additions included Picture Book and Rag, Tag and Bobtail, the adventures of a hedgehog, mouse and
rabbit. At last the service became daily with the first episode of The Woodentops on Friday 9 September
1955.
The classic Watch With Mother line-up was now in place: Picture Book on Monday; Andy Pandy Tuesday; The Flower Pot Men - Wednesday; Rag, Tag and Bobtail - Thursday; The Woodentops - Friday.
This pattern would remain largely unchanged and be repeated countless times for a decade.
A new generation of series were ushered in with the 60s, including Tales of the Riverbank, Joe and yet
more puppet/animated series such as Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Chigley, and Pogles' Wood. The
mid-60s saw a change in the broadcast pattern, with airings now at 10.30am, 1.30pm or sometimes both.
With a colour television service imminent many of the series were now being made in colour with a view
to future repeats.
All of the Watch With Mother characters had been quite heavily merchandised since the 50s; the 60s saw
the launch of Polystyle Publications' magazine Pippin, a junior companion to their TV Comic.
The early 70s brought in such delights as Fingerbobs, Mary, Mungo and Midge, Mr Benn and the
imported Barnaby but it also saw the end of the longstanding banner title. The use of the words Watch
With Mother became increasingly rare in Radio Times through 1972 and by early 1973 had disappeared
entirely.
