Good morning, and welcome to Daily View this morning. 24 years ago, 28 January saw the NASA Challenger disaster.
It’s the date of the death of Henry VIII and the beginning of the Diet of Worms. (If they went to that sort of effort, I hope they lost a lot of weight!)
197 years ago today saw the first publication of Pride and Prejudice and in 1958, Lego bricks were first patented. Today’s bricks still mesh with the original 1958 system.
Birthday bunny hops today go to novelist David Lodge and hobbit-actor Elijah Wood.
