Time lapse? of people waiting for the limo to take them to the Churchdown Prom.
(When did we start having Prom. After 1982 anyway....)

And even a Hummer Limo is a green vehicle when fully loaded:-)

Harry Potter filming in Gloucester Cathedral

Gloucester Cathedral is used as Hogwarts. Each film involves hundreds of Kings School pupils as extras.

If anyone wants to add to this, has some good stories etc, post a comment.

Star Spangled Banner

A variety of renditions of the US National Anthem.

And what has this got to do with Gloucester? Your answer, it was a Gloucester man - John Stafford Smith - who wrote it, well the tune anyway. A Yank wrote the words some time later.

We should ask them for royalties....

Whitney Houston

Hendrix

Rachmaninoff (the man himself, from 1919!)

Gloucester 1947 Floods

Likal Admin — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 09:42:24 +0000

Rare footage of the previous record flooding in 1947.

This was caused by massive sudden snow melt - that's right, amazing as it may seem the previous winter had snowed, and snowed, and stayed cold and the snow had NOT melted, esp up in Wales, where the Severn headwaters rise.

Suddenly it warmed up and the river had, in effect, an entire winter's rain fall dumped into in in a matter of a few days.
