Hello Boadicea, to what extent is Googling permitted, or is this a case of, if you do not know, guess?
Well its my wife’s birthday so thanks for the reminder but I’m buggered what these pictures link up to. Some sort of record. Or broken record?
Anyway, for No 3, I am going to guess that on this day Henry VII married Elizabeth of York.
Doh – each one is linked to the 29th Sept! I thought the racing shoe might be something to do with Jesse Owens.
#2 is Richard II, so is this the day that he was forced to abdicate?
Bow down your head
King Richard The Second
Bow down your head
And take off the Crown
The People are crying
Bad luck to King Richard
Bolingbroke’s up
And Richard is down.
Hello Boadicea, to what extent is Googling permitted, or is this a case of, if you do not know, guess?
I leave that to the individual’s conscience! Only number 2 is right.
Soutie – you were really good with costumes on the last quiz!
8 -German/Italian agreement prior to WW2
2 was this the day he confronted the Peasants Revolt, prior to the murder of my namesake?
Zen look again! I know the picture is small – it was the best I could find!
Sorry, bleary eyes in the morning, – Munich!
That’s better Zen!
3 – wild guess – Henry V and Kathryn of France?
7. The first public tramways were opened in Blackpool, UK, in 1885.
Zen – very wild guess!
Christopher. Quite right!
Is my comment 6 not correct?
No – Soutie – as I said check the costumes… and look at the picture a bit more carefully! 🙂
Well then, I’ll guess the 2008 crash
Yes Soutie! They didn’t have computers in 1928!
I’m aware of that but thanks for the reminder 🙂
I thought that perhaps you were trying to make your clues a bit more cryptic!
I think some of the ‘events’ are pretty obscure. Where possible I try to get a picture of the event – I don’t want to frighten people away!
1 – Pearl Harbour?
No Zen!
No 1 is Salamis, Battle of,
Araminta – No I is indeed the battle of Salamis!
Hi Boadicea.
I’ll take a guess at No.3. Is it do do with civil marriages taking place at other licensed venues?
No Araminta – but you’re on the right track…
2 – opening of Vatican 2?
Gay marriage?
9 – Zaatopec’s 10,000 mrecord run
No Zen – #28, but yes to #30
Araminta – you’re far too modern!
3 – the man has a horrible resemblance to the loathsome Alan Titmarsh, which clouds my mind.
6: I think i have seen this portrait somewhere. Is it Pius the Ninth? In which case, did he not have something to do with re-establishing the Catholic Church in England?
4 – tennis first reported in the press?
5 – 1829 – The first public appearance by London’s re-organized police force was met with jeers from political opponents. The force became known as Scotland Yard.

6. You are quite right!
Zen
4. You are correct!
Ferret
5. Spot On!
I have resorted to cheating. Still 3 beats me – Bing Crosby or Norma Shearer; they both married on that day.
Zen
Number 3 is obscure! It was so interesting that I had to include it.
Clue – for those who have the fortitude to look here!
What has been worked out already + 1600s + Threadneedle Street…. 🙂
3, Theatrical, he is wearing a short sword, is the celebrant the first woman to officiate at a wedding?
With a beard? 🙄
You never know, these days!
Ah, is it this?
“1650 The first marriage bureau opened on Threadneedle Street, London, calling itself the ‘Office of Addresses and Encounters’. “
I have to confess that all of these went right past me. Bottom of the class – again 😦
N#3 – I think I have it 😦
September 30th, some poor woman woke up and realized the day before she’d married a bloke who looked like a complete dork in his wedding suit 🙂
what?…. ok, I’ll shut up now 😦
Well found, Minty, I think you’ve got it. I was miles off. Go from OBE to CBE!
We await final adjudication.
With regards N#4 – I amazed that back in 1793, the British had a “Sporting Magazine” surely it must have been one of the first ever.
The Bayeaux Tapestry?
3. Marriage between adult humans of the opposite sex finally legailised in Albania, 29/09/2001
(A wild guess)
3. Harry Potter marries Hermione’s less attractive sister, 29/09/2008.
(An even wilder guess)
OZ
Oh bolleaux! “…legalised…”
OZ
I too thought the groom looked a bit like Harry Potter, OZ. It reminded me of my niece’s Tudor/Apache wedding.
btw Bearsy, don’t be sexist. Why shouldn’t a woman wear a beard if she wants?
Evening, Zen.
I don’t have a clue if it’s the correct answer but it was the only thing I could find before dashing out to enjoy the wonderful weather.
Araminta – apologies for the long delay in answering – but you are quite right… I
…. and Donald you have the right person!
Mind you I think there are some very creative answers here!
Thanks everyone!
Oh good!
No problem, Boadicea, I appreciate you have to sleep occasionally. 😉
Checked earlier this afternoon. 28°C. Getting a bit autumnal, don’t you think?
OZ
Yes, very autumnal, OZ. It was only 26 C here but it’s still 20 as I type! I don’t think it’s going to last long though.
All my plants are flowering again, but they’ll get a shock when the temperature drops next week!
Well done, Araminta, though I do believe you might have been googling. 🙂
OZ
I remain convinced that number 3 is Hairy Potter marrying another bloke – that ain’t no woman. There were very few cameras taking colour pictures in 1650, either. 🙄
I did, I was desperate!
Actually my first answer, Salamis, was without reference to Google, although I did check the date. I wrote a pome a while ago about the Greeks versus Persia and came across the photo in my research.
Actually the photo was a bit of a red herring, Bearsy, in my opinion. I only found the answer after Boadicea’s clues, and my guess which she confirmed that I was on the right track!
Salami is an Italian sausage – salamis are more than one Italian sausage.
Agreed, Araminta. Boadicea can be tricky at times! 🙂
I honestly don’t think there were any Italians involved, but I can’t be sure. Herodotus would have mentioned it!
You’re all right – the ‘Groom’ does look like Harry Potter!
Finding pictures for these quizzes is, on occasions, quite difficult!
Bit of a challenge is good, well for me anyway, I enjoy your quizzes, so thank you!
Evenin’ Boadicea. The skin on the fangs was a bit thin this evening. How on Earth you come up with these quizzes is beyond me (as are most of the answers). 🙂
OZ
I enjoy making them up – it increases my store of useless information!
🙂
And mine dammit. I can’t help but absorb the answers!
OZ
Boadicea, many thanks for making yesterday so enjoyable.
Thanks for the feed-back! It encourages me to do more….
