London's mystery Jacobite
October 16 2013
A reader has alerted me to a bunch of white roses laid at the feet James II's statue outside the National Gallery. It was James' birthday on the 14th October, and a white rose was the Jacobite symbol. How splendid (and not just to Jacobites like me) that some people out there still remember these things.
