In a eulogy at his memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral, the Bishop of London, John W. C.

His raillery was without cynicism, his satire without malice". On 7 November 2006, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a review of one of his partnerships, Mr Murgatroyd and Mr Winterbottom: "The story of Tommy Handley and Ronald Frankau, a comedy partnership which had its heyday in the 1930s world of radio. There was no straight man, so the partnership was a rare one. Tommy was a fast talking Liverpudlian. Presented by Nicholas Frankau and grandson of Ronald."

Mitchell Clark is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Brisbane Lions, Melbourne Football Club and Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League. Clark began his football career with East Fremantle in the Western Australian Football League. Although Clark was hit by meningococcal disease the week before the 2005 AFL Draft, Brisbane showed their strong interest, making him their first pick, the ninth player drafted across all clubs and presenting him with their number "1" guernsey. Clark made an impressive debut for the Brisbane Lions in the first round of the 2006 season against Geelong, converting his first mark and subsequent kick into a goal, but his debut season was hampered by injury problems, in particular osteitis pubis, only ended up playing a total six games that season. Clark played his first game for the 2007 season in round nine against Collingwood, after overcoming his injury problems, his five goals in that match earned him an AFL Rising Star nomination.

However, the promising return lasted only three weeks before Clark was hit by injury again, allowing him only one more game that season. Before the 2008 season began, Clark was in injury strife, after injuring his quad during pre-season training. Clark played his first game for 2008 in round seven against Geelong, lost by 27 points after falling away in the last quarter. Clark kicked three goals in the process, he managed to string together twelve consecutive games for the season, but was sidelined for the remainder after the round 18 clash with North Melbourne, during which he injured his quads yet again.2009 turned out to be a breakthrough year for Clark. Season-ending injuries to Matthew Leuenberger and Jamie Charman resulted in Clark shouldering the Brisbane ruck duties for the majority of the season. Leaving his injury prone tendencies behind, Clark played in all 24 possible games, including two finals. By the end of the season, Clark had gained acknowledgement as one the competition's elite mobile ruckmen, was rewarded by selection in the 40-man All-Australian squad, was considered unlucky to miss out on selection in the final team.

At the completion of the 2011 season Clark informed the Brisbane Lions he would not be renewing his contract with the club and that he desired a move home to Perth. Fremantle Dockers were close to signing the key position player but equivocated on compensation for the Lions, Clark was swayed by a better offer from the Melbourne Demons, which provided a better result for the Lions, he was given the number 11 guernsey at the Demons, made famous by Jim Stynes, who presented it to him. Clark announced his immediate retirement from football, due to clinical depression and personal issues. On 15 October 2014 Clark was traded to the Cats in a deal which saw Travis Varcoe join Collingwood and Heritier Lumumba join Melbourne. At the conclusion of the 2016 season, he was delisted by Geelong. Mitch Clark's profile on the official website of the Geelong Football Club Mitch Clark's playing statistics from AFL Tables

Wrexham County Borough is a local government principal area centred on the town of Wrexham in northeast Wales. The county borough has a population of nearly 135,000 inhabitants. Around 63,000 of these live either within the town of Wrexham or in the surrounding conurbation of urban villages; the remainder live to the south and east of the town in more rural areas, including the borough's large salient in the Ceiriog Valley. The area has strong links with coal-mining; the county borough was formed on 1 April 1996. Borough status was inherited from the town of Wrexham, granted over 150 years ago. Most of the area was part of the district of Wrexham Maelor – with several communities coming from Glyndŵr – in the county of Clwyd; the area includes a portion of the eastern half of the historic county of Denbighshire, two exclaves of historic Flintshire: English Maelor and the parish of Marford and Hoseley. The region is governed as a unitary authority by Wrexham County Borough Council. Most offices of the council are situated within Wrexham town centre, around Llwyn Isaf and the Civic Centre around Chester Street.

The headquarters of the organisation is at Queens Square. Wrexham County Borough forms part of the Wales constituency, which elects four members to the European Parliament using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.

Its early success ensured that, after local government reorganisation in both countries in the mid-seventies, the twinning was taken over by the new councils of Märkischer Kreis and Wrexham Maelor Borough Council and, in 1996, by Wrexham County Borough Council.

In 2001 Märkischer Kreis entered a twinning arrangement with Racibórz, a county in Poland, part of Silesia, Germany. In September 2002, a delegation from Racibórz visited Wrexham and began discussions about co-operation which led to the signing of Articles of Twinning between Wrexham and Racibórz in March 2004; the Wrexham area has strong historical links with Poland. Following World War II, many service personnel from the Free Polish armed forces, injured received treatment at Penley Polish Hospital. Many of their descendants remain in the area.

John Walter Bratton was an American Tin Pan Alley composer and theatrical producer who became popular during the era known as the Gay Nineties. Raised by his grandmother, Mary Bratton, in New Castle, near Wilmington, John Walter Bratton was the son of John F. and Emma Bratton, of whom little is known. He was educated at the Harkness Academy in Wilmington and attended the Philadelphia College of Music before embarking on a career as a baritone singer. John Bratton's career soon moved from performer to producer, he began in the chorus of a show called Ship Ahoy for $18 a week and not before too long was selling songs written with his friend, lyricists Walter H. Ford, for as little as $10 a title. Over the years Bratton would collaborate on over 250 songs with Paul West. One of their earlier tunes was a tribute to veterans of the Spanish–American War called "Hats off to the Boys Who Made Good", that years Bratton conceded was "terrible". Today he is remembered for his composition Op103, dating from 1907, "Teddy Bears' Picnic", the only one of his songs to be a lasting hit.

Although most of his compositions had lyrics, he left "Teddy Bears' Picnic" as an instrumental. Because it sold so well as sheet music he felt little need to do anything else with it. Many years British-based, but Irish-born Jimmy Kennedy wrote the lyrics; this explains why an American composition contains the British term "Mummies and Daddies" rather than "Mommies and Daddies", though the latter does crop up from time to time in copies printed in the former colony. Tunes Bratton wrote that were popular in their day include "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley", "Henrietta, Have You Met Her?", "I Love You in the Same Old Way", "Isabella" and "In a Cosey Corner". As half of the firm Lefler and Bratton he produced the musical comedies Hodge Co.. The Star and the Garter, The Man from China, The Pearl and the Pumpkin and others. Bratton married popular Broadway actress Dorothy Zimmerman on May 21, 1907, their marriage produced a daughter. John Walter Bratton died at his Brooklyn home in February 1947, aged 80.

He had just completed the song "Time Brings Many Changes" with his partner Leo Edwards, brother of songwriter Gus Edwards. Bratton was survived by daughter. 1900 Hodge, Podge & Co. 1904 The Man from China 1905 The Pearl and the Pumpkin 1909 The Newlyweds and Their BabyHis songs were featured in many other musical comedies including The Rainmakers, Star & Garter, The Office Boy, The Toreador, The Rollicking Girl, The Merry-Go-Round.
