On this day
•1660: Parliament proclaims Charles II king of England, restoring the monarchy after more than a decade.
•1945: Prime Minister Winston Churchill announces the end of the war in Europe following Germany's surrender.
•1984: The Thames Barrier, designed to prevent the flooding of London, is officially unveiled by Elizabeth I.
Fucking hell, she did well there, didn't she? Especially as she died 381 years previous.
