Early last Sunday morning, in the cold bracing air above the Thames, a team of aerial experts climbed out on the Emirates Air Line cable that spans the river and staged a mock rescue. It's unlikely they will be called upon to perform this in real life but useful of course to practice for such a possibility - it certainly made for an arresting spectacle.
I first posted that on the Greenwich.co.uk forum - also over there you can find details about of a planning application for a new telephone box and ATM in Greenwich Church Street.
Coming up this week is a meeting of the Greenwich Historical Society (having been rescheduled from last week). Society President, Warwick Leadlay's Anthony Cross, will be giving an address, entitled A History of Greenwich in half a Dozen Objects. Click here for full details.
This week also sees the new start of a new exhibition at the Paul McPherson Gallery. "The Londoner and The Interview" is a new solo collection by Aleksandar Basic of figurative-abstract works, oils and drawings, inspired with people, modern commuters, who travel to work in and around London.
Another event to mention is a (5th April) in aid of Cancer Research UK.
If you have an event coming up you would like to promote on Greenwich.co.uk, feel free to add it here.
Following the change in the law, the Royal Borough of Greenwich had its first same-sex wedding today. Charlotte Wood and Carol McCarron were married this morning at Woolwich Town Hall and local photographer Chris Mansfield recorded the historic occasion with his camera as the newly-weds emerged out on to Wellington Street.
Congratulations to Carol and Charlotte.
