"Which historical event would you like to have been present at?
Any point in the great British empire  "
Maybe not when we invented concentration camps in the Boer war and then allowed typhoid to decimate 75% of the Boer population though? |

"December 1873 latitude 30 degrees 40 minutes longitude 17 degrees 15 minutes west.
A couple of days before she reached this position to solve the mystery of the Mary Celeste.

It's not a mystery though,widely agreed what happened |

I’d like to know if Katherine and Arthur did or didn’t.
The princes - was it Richard III? I don’t think so. Margaret Beaufort…? Maybe…
Lindisfarne in 793.
I wouldn’t mind pinpointing exactly where John lost the jewels. Just out of curiosity of course.

"The hanging of Mussolini - as long as I could take a digital camera and a paintball gun fully loaded with red, white and blue."
I have a friend and ex colleague who was in the crowd with her family when Mussolini declared war, she was only a baby at the time. |

When the giants built Stonehenge or when the aliens built the pyramids.
But seriously the end of the Second World War when it was announced that emotional soup must have been amazing/sorrowful/joyful/reflective to behold (I know some will find this weird, but human expressions of emotion en masse fascinate me) |

"The coronation and then then funeral of Elizabeth the first.
Or the invasion of the Normans
Or a ceremony at Avebury"
Love Avebury.
Had some great chats with an old boy who had the shop opposite the Pub.
Would love to know what really happened there. |

"Hitler dying - to answer whether he did or didn't kill himself! Beginning of time - big bang or magical man who built the world in a week and who we must worship!  "
There’s no debate. Read Hugh Trevor Roper on it. It’s the best read. All of the big wigs of the third Reich in that bunker in despair. Always makes me happy to think of how their hate ended up in a well of misery, of their own making. |

Similarly, the Christmas when a temporary truce was called for the soldiers to play football. Imagine having to go back to killing each other after that  |
