Murder of Keith Blakelock
1985 murder in England
Keith Henry BlakelockQGM, a London Metropolitan Police constable, was murdered on 6 October 1985 during the Broadwater Farm riot in Tottenham, north London. The riot broke out after Cynthia Jarrett died of heart failure during a police search of her home, and took place against a backdrop of unrest in several English cities and a breakdown of relations between the police and some people in the black community.[1]
PC Blakelock had been assigned, on the night of his death, to Serial 502, a unit of 11 constables and one sergeant, dispatched to protect firefighters who were themselves under attack.

31-Dec-2009: Seeking.. Hi Daniel, I hope you might be able to help me trace the name and perhaps some other info of the dance band which my father, Ernest, played in as a young man. I have attached a photo taken by the Waltur Studios, Walthamstow. My father is sitting on the extreme right holding his trumpet. I would be happy for this photo to go on your website if it might help. I would be so grateful for any help you might be able to give me to solve this.
My father's name was Ernest Weinstein. At the time the photo was taken he lived at 45, Osbaldeston Road, N16. He worked for M&S until WW2 during which he served in the Royal Artillery. After he was demobbed, he met my mother and together they started a retail jewelery business. Many thanks,

On 16 September Walthamstow's Ye Olde Rose & Crown Theatre Pub will host a full day of free improvisation at an event called Discovery. Taking place 50 years after John Coltrane's death, the festival is keen to mark another event which had John Coltrane play at this east London town in the London borough of Waltham Forest, some 56 years ago. Coltrane performed at the Granada Theatre in Walthamstow on 17th November 1961 while on a Jazz at the Philharmonic European tour. To mark this, there will be a raffle for a signed test pressing of Evan Parker, John Edwards and John Russell's Walthamstow Moon: '61 Revisited , a recording made in commemoration of Coltrane's Walthamstow appearance, and which was recorded last year in the same space on 186 Hoe Street E17, now called the Mirth, Marvel & Maud. The release is forthcoming on Byrd Out. Also on sale at the event is a print of a painting by Gina Southgate of Thurston Moore and John Russell.
