You would have to think that investment managers, like Rathbones, are seeing a big recovery in their fee income right now. Each new market high is very good news for them as fees are geared to portfolio values.

A deserted thread for a quality stock.

Strong move so far today.

Must say - until that country apologises for its war criminals and football hooligans there is no way I am stepping foot in that country again. I hope people take note when booking their holidays.

Mind you - Germany were Croatia's allies during the war and the Vatican helped its war criminals escape in 1945 so I guess one should not be surprised.

He shows a quiet dignity. In these times a rare trait indeed.

And that old chap in the header was a great choice Beeksy.

I may have had Freddie Mercury, Winston Churchill, Jacko and Lord Justice Eady up there in the past but he is staying up there for a while - don't you worry.

Samuel Pepys wrote an eyewitness account of the execution at Charing Cross, in which Major General Harrison was dryly reported to be "looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition".

Abolished in 1814 so before Victoria's reign. Unless I read it wrong. As you say grissly stuff we were certainly barbaric in the UK and not that long ago at that.

Pretty grim stuff by all accounts.

Your're probably right G2. Will look it up and let you know.

I'm not sure, but I believe hanging, drawing and quartering was still on the statute book in the early part of Victoria's reign, although it had not been used since the 1740s.

Sorry Ratty but disagree with you about Gerrard.. I've always admired him until now. He was drunk in a bar...had six of his mates with him..got into an argument with a guy acting as DJ because he wanted to take over...one of his mates elbows the guy and Gerrard threw at least three punches in 'self defence' Five of his mates plead guilty but Gerrard is found not guilty. Another nail in the coffin of justice.

Prince Charles has led the tributes to Harry Patch, the last trenches veteran from World War One, who has died aged 111. Skip related content

The Prince of Wales said nothing could give him greater pride than to pay tribute to Mr Patch.

He told the BBC: "The Great War is a chapter in our history we must never forget, so many sacrifices were made, so many young lives lost.2

The Prince continued: "So today nothing could give me greater pride than paying tribute to Harry Patch from Somerset.

"Harry was involved in numerous bouts of heavy fighting on the front line but amazingly remained unscathed for a while.

"Tragically one night in September 1917 when in the morass in the Ypres Salient a German shrapnel shell burst over head badly wounding Harry and killing three of his closest friends.

"In spite of the comparatively short time that he served with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Harry always cherished the extraordinary camaraderie that the appalling conditions engendered in the battalion and remained loyal to the end."

Prime Minister Gordon Brown added: "I had the honour of meeting Harry, and I share his family's grief at the passing of a great man.

"I know that the whole nation will unite today to honour the memory, and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War.

"The noblest of all the generations has left us, but they will never be forgotten."
