- The Royal Albert Hall was built to fulfil the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's consort) of a 'Central Hall' that would be used to promote understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences and would stand at the heart of the South Kensington estate, surrounded by museums and places of learning.

- It was, incontestably, the pop story to end all pop stories, the unlikely triumph to beat all unlikely triumphs. When Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen released "Patience", the first single from the second coming of Take That on November 20, 2006, it was more than a decade since the band's famous split, and the world, it seemed, was ready for them.

- It is one of my favorite Beatles songs. The message is so simple but unfortunately not always remembered. John Lennon was such an insightful man.
Thank you for this lens.
