Tucked away in West Yorkshire is a hidden piece of transatlantic history perfect for the Fourth of July. The Triumphal Arch on the Parlington Estate in Aberford is Britain's only monument dedicated to American independence. Built in 1783 by the eccentric, whig-sympathising

Known as the Parlington Arch, this striking stone monument is a unique triumphal arch situated on the historic Parlington Estate near Aberford, West Yorkshire. Commissioned by Sir Thomas Gascoigne and constructed between 1781 and 1783, it was built to celebrate American victory and independence following the Revolutionary War. Commemorating this pivotal historical moment, the bold inscription across its frieze reads: "Liberty in N. America Triumphant MDCCLXXXIII" (1783). Image: John Davidson CC BY-SA 2.0

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

SUMMARY: Negotiations must ensure the Strait is opened but do not matter because the Strait will open automatically. The failure of Iran to open the Strait means it remains closed, so it will now be forced open via the mechanism of full closure. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
