Monastery (1963)

A look at Saint Michael's Abbey, Farnborough, Hants, not far from where my Mum was from. The monks care for the tombs of Emperor Napoleon III, his Empress, Eugénie, and their son, Napoléon, Prince Imperial, since the Abbey occupies the former home of the Empress.

The Prince Imperial was killed whilst serving with the British Forces in the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
