Description

Procession of Queen Elizabeth I and her court through the centre of a town. The Queen is in a canopy chair of state in the centre, carried by six gentlemen. Several Knights of the Garter, distinguished by their collars, walk before the Queen, her ladies in waiting following behind to the right. The Yeomen of the Guard follow, and a band of gentlemen pensioners line the way. Amongst the Knights of the Garter, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester is nearest the Queen, and Henry Lord Hernoden carries the Sword of State before her. As those knights walk two and two, the next is William Cecil, Lord Burghley, Lord High Treasurer, with his white staff in hand. Next before him is Charles Howard, Admiral, afterwards Lord Nottingham. The other three Knights of the Garter, Lords Clinton (George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland and Queen's Champion), Russel and Sussex as those before mentioned, each of them having a ribbon about his neck with a small gem or intaglio appendant to it.

How many people knew that Adrian Mellon was based off of an actual person? Because I didn't, and I feel like that should be common knowledge.

Charles "Charlie" Howard (23) was murdered in Bangor, Maine in 1984 by 3 teenagers, Shawn Mabry (16), James Francis Baines (15), and Daniel Ness (17). He and his boyfriend, Roy Ogden (20) were assaulted leaving an lgbt+ support group funded by the Unitarian Universalist of Bangor.

This is a really brief overview, and I encourage anyone who wants to know more to research this, because it's really interesting and really sad.

I'll link some of the articles I read.

Also, to end on a slightly lighter note, James Baines has been giving presentations to schools in Maine about his regret about this incident, and the effect of hate crimes on everyone involved. It doesn't fully make up for what happened, but it's better than a lot of people would have done.

(And a bench was installed in Portsmouth in honor of Charlie last year, and it says "I am who I am" because it's a song from a musical that he liked, and I thought that was really cute)
