philip and his friends looked on at first in silence and anxiety for the result , till seeing him turn at the end of his career , and come back rejoicing and triumphing for what he had performed , they all burst out into acclamations of applause ; and his father shedding tears , it is said , for joy , kissed him as he came down from his horse , and in his transport said , ' o my son , look thee out a kingdom equal to and worthy of thyself , for macedonia is too little for thee '
( alex . 6 . 8 . ) .
civilian of 5 board school steps , dartmouth . son of the late james and mary ann davey and husband of marion davey ( née wellilngton ) . born in plymouth in the march quarter of 1884 . died 5 september 1943 at board school steps aged 59 .
after a major refit in a previous ownership , she was bought by the present owner who is the grandson of mr philip who owned the yard .
when not performing in london during the spring and summer seasons , astley traveled . the success of his exhibitions led him to construct wooden amphitheaters all around the united kingdom—which soon won him the nickname
amphi - philip .
the first of these amphitheaters was erected in 1773 in dublin , ireland . the following year , astley ' s son , john , had his first
civilian , leading fireman in the nfs . son of mr . and mrs h . e . harford of 11 / 15 high street , thornton heath , surrey . died 26 july 1944 at halwell road , dartmouth aged 33 .
but he initially seemed to give a rather alarming indication of the size of his son stretching one hand to the height of his face and the other to below the waist , while a member of staff giggled in the background .

civilian of yew tree cottage , manor street , dittisham . son of john and hilda trant ( née hutchings ) ; husband of may trant . born in brixham in the september quarter of 1915 . died 18 september 1942 aged 27 .
the fact is , such maternal closeness with her third son — and with edward , who was born four years later — has never changed . ‘they are just as close today , ’ says a former lady - in - waiting .
philip of swabia was a german hohenstaufen king who engaged in warfare against the emperor otto iv over the crown for a decade in late 1100 ' s .
ordering the macedonian troops to lift the sieges of the two greek cities , philip led the army northward across thrace . in the spring of 339 the macedonians clashed with the scythians near danube , who had recently crossed the river with large army . philip won a stunning victory in which the scythian king areas was killed and took 20 , 000 scythian women and children as slaves . but on the return to macedonia , the thracian triballians attacked the macedonian convoy . the booty was lost , philip suffered a severe injury which left him permanently lame , and the army returned home empty - handed .
civilian - member of the wvs . daughter of frederick william and mary roper of 153 victoria road , dartmouth and wife of pte . thomas weaver , the gloucestershire regiment . died 18 september 1942 at philip ' s noss works aged 20 .
then there was andrew’s marriage to sarah ferguson . here we have a woman whose adventures with other men while married to the prince deeply upset the queen because of the humiliation heaped on her son .
philip astley died from stomach ailments in his parisian home , rue du faubourg du temple , on october 20 , 1814 . he was seventy - two years old . he was buried at the mont - louis cemetery in paris ( today the père lachaise cemetery , where his grave , unfortunately , is no longer visible ) . his will asked that all his parisian properties be sold and for the proceeds to go to his son , john , who also inherited the amphitheatre at stangate street . john philip conway astley survived his father by only seven years .
in 357 , philip successfully faced off with athens for control of the strategically located city of amphipolis . over the next two decades , philip would achieve a series of victories in the region , only suffering a major defeat in 353 . his able use of shifting alliances , combined with his military supremacy , granted him territory and influence that increased macedonia & apos ; s wealth , security and unity .

this partnership was dissolved on 11 january 1822 . philip ( john’s son ) then undertook ship repair and some new building at a slipway at shadwell st . ( the lawe ) south shields 1822 - 1832 . [ flagg , confirmed by some entries in keys’ ' dictionary of tyne sailing ships ' 1998 ] john [ now as john laing and son ] continued repair ( and new building , as clarke refers to fifty ships built at south shields , and keys includes some ) at thrift st . ( graving dock ) , with his son james , now probably aged about 40 , who seems to have taken an increasing share of the business . the yard was for sale in 1828 , but not sold until 1831 , by which time john had died , aged 75 . the site was incorporated into stanhope drops ( coal staith served by railway ) . philip had the shadwell st . yard for sale in 1832 , although flagg says ' now occupied by j . laing & co ' , possibly indicating some involvement with james who seems to have given up wear shipbuilding by then . philip had only married in 1823 and only had a daughter ( as did james ) [ corder ] . perhaps this was a temporary arrangement after thrift st . sold , or not the exact name .
when he was 13 , philip hired the greek philosopher aristotle to be alexander’s personal tutor . during the next three years aristotle gave alexander a training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science , medicine , and philosophy , all of which became of importance in alexander’s later life .
two or three years later , the family moved to lambeth , a borough of london , where edward astley opened shop near westminster bridge—an area that would become very familiar to young philip , and where he will later return . for at age 17 , philip left home after one of many disputes with his father and enrolled in the 15th light dragoons , a cavalry regiment newly formed by colonel granville elliott .
while prince philip lived under public gaze as a royal consort in the uk , he was revered as a rather more divine being on a south pacific island .
while not british , philip does have family ties to england . shortly after his birth , his maternal grandfather , prince louis of battenberg , died in london . louis was a naturalized british citizen who had renounced his german titles and adopted the surname mountbatten during the first world war . philip is also related to the british royal family as a descendant of queen victoria .
as hamilton’s political career grew , eliza aided him in his writing . along with that , she also worked hard creating their home . soon , eliza had to move back to albany once more . she found out she was pregnant after arriving in albany . their first child and son was born the next year , january 22 , 1782 , to be exact . he was named philip , after his grandfather .
in april 2018 , after he missed the traditional maundy and easter services , prince philip was admitted to king edward vii hospital in london for hip replacement surgery . the operation was successful , and the prince was discharged from the hospital eight days later .
sir william courtenay and his wife , lady anne bertie , decided to restore powderham castle . they were probably responsible for transforming the long great hall into different areas , the staircase hall and the marble hall with two floors above it . their son , sir william , later the 1st viscount courtenay , inherited in 1735 and continued the improvements at powderham . he was responsible for the wonderful rococo plasterwork on the hall and staircase walls , and it is his coat of arms over the doorway into the marble hall . he was one of the founding members of the devon and exeter hospital in 1740 . he was created viscount courtenay of powderham in 1762 only ten days before his death . his son , the second viscount continued with the improvements and additions at powderham . he married frances clack in 1762 and had 14 children - 13 daughters and one son . he converted the chapel into a library and built another chapel near the northwest tower . he designed the belvedere tower in 1771 . it was built using locally made bricks but timber from the new world .
the 17th earl died in 1998 , aged 82 and having been earl of devon for sixty - three years . he was succeeded by his only son , hugh courtenay , who had been managing the estate for some years beforehand and whose wife , diana , gave birth to three daughters , rebecca ( beebs ) , eleonora ( nell ) and camilla ( billa ) , and a son , charles ( charlie ) . the family lived happily at the castle during the 1990s and did much work to update the private side to become a modern ( ish ) home . all four children got married and provided hugh and diana with eleven grandchildren – alice , mimi , tati , lara , james , harry , george , willy - billy , tinka , joscelyn and jack .
alexander next killed cleitus , another macedonian noble , in a drunken brawl . heavy drinking was a cherished tradition at the macedonian court and that day cleitus publicly denounced the king before the present for the murders of parmenio and philotas . he went further by ridiculing alexander for claiming to be
son of ammon
and for denouncing his own father philip ii . alexander lost his temper , snatched the spear from the bodyguard standing near , and ran cleitus through with it . although he mourned his friend excessively and nearly committed suicide when he realized what he had done , all of alexander ' s associates thereafter feared his paranoia and dangerous temper .
on september 22 , 1922 , philip & apos ; s uncle , king constantine i of greece , was forced to abdicate the throne . the military government arrested prince andrew , and in december , a revolutionary court banished him from greece for life . philip & apos ; s family went to france , where they settled in the paris suburb of saint - cloud . philip & apos ; s mother was eventually committed to a psychiatric institution while his father relocated to the south of france , maintaining limited contact with the rest of the family .
philip ascended on the macedonian throne in the most difficult times ; the country was virtually at the brink of collapse , its neighbors ready to put an end to its existence . the macedonian state was further weakened by internal turmoil , paeonia was independent of macedonian control , and additional claimants to the throne now supported by foreign powers were a serious threat to philip ' s reign .
philip has remained the queen & apos ; s consort for more than six decades , having accompanied her in her official duties and appearances throughout the world . additionally , he has participated in the work of many organizations , particularly favoring those focused on the environment , athletics and education . philip launched the duke of edinburgh & apos ; s award in the mid - 1950s , with a focus on youth achievement . he played polo until 1971 and has competed in carriage and boat racing , with piloting airplanes , oil painting and art collecting also among his hobbies .
in the army there were 25 , 000 macedonians , 7 , 600 greeks , and 7 , 000 thracians and illyrians , but the chief officers were all macedonians , and macedonians also commanded the foreign troops . alexander ' s second in command was philip ' s general parmenio , the other important commanders being
queen elizabeth ii and prince phillip with their children prince charles and princess anne in 1951 .
in the wake of his father & apos ; s death , alexander , then 19 , was determined to seize the throne by any means necessary . he quickly garnered the support of the macedonian army , including the general and troops he had had fought with at chaeronea . the army proclaimed alexander the feudal king and proceeded to help him murder other potential heirs to the throne . ever a loyal mother , olympia further ensured her son & apos ; s claim to the throne by slaughtering the daughter of king philip ii and cleopatra and driving cleopatra herself to suicide .

the sunday express yesterday claimed that the media giant is carrying out a company review with the credit suisse investment bank , and could sell newsquest for up to £1 . 5bn .
newsquest publishes more than 300 daily and weekly newspapers in the uk including the herald in scotland , the lancashire telegraph , the evening times in glasgow and the argus in brighton .
seeking to expand still further in the u . k . market - - including placing a bid to buy the portland and sunderland newspaper group - - newsquest began shopping itself as an acquisition target . in june 1999 , gannett co . , inc . , the u . s . media giant and publisher of usa today , announced its intention to acquire newsquest for us $ 1 . 43 billion ( £904 million ) . the purchase offer quickly won agreement from the company ' s largest shareholders , including kkr , which still held 36 percent of newsquest .

newsquest’s history goes back a long way – one of our news brands , the berrows worcester journal , was first published in 1690 and is the oldest surviving newspaper in the world . as a company however , newsquest is relatively new , formed in 1996 as a management buy - out of reed regional newspapers with backing from us private equity company , kohlberg kravis roberts & co ( kkr ) . we floated on the london stock exchange in october 1997 , realising a market capital of £500 million . in july 1999 , newsquest was acquired by gannett for £1 . 57 billion .

in december 1996 , pearson announced its intention to sell off its 65 - title strong regional newspaper division , westminster press . newsquest ' s bid , backed by kkr and cinven , a u . k . media investment fund , was finally accepted at £305 million . the purchase doubled newsquest ' s size and made it a key player among the country ' s other new regional giants , johnston press , trinity international , and midland . throughout the following year , newsquest worked to absorb its new acquisition , which , although profitable at some £25 million per year , had been struggling . many of the westminster titles had suffered strong circulation declines , with resulting declines in advertising revenues .

in less than five years , newsquest plc has risen to become england ' s largest regional newspaper publisher and the third largest in the united kingdom . since the company ' s takeover by gannett in june 1999 , newsquest is also part of one of the world ' s leading media companies . yet newsquest ' s focus remains the local and regional news front , where the company owns some 180 titles , including the world ' s oldest newspaper in continuous circulation , berrow ' s worcester journal , first published in 1690 . some 51 of newsquest ' s titles list are paid weeklies ; another 11 titles are paid dailies . the bulk of the company ' s titles are free regional , local , and specialty advertising newspapers . the company ' s publishing portfolio ranges from the northern echo ' s 200 , 000 - strong circulation to local papers with circulation of less than 15 , 000 . more than 80 percent of the company ' s revenues are generated through advertising , especially through classified advertising . the company has also been an early entry into the internet news market , with its trademarked collection of ' this is . . . ' internet sites . newsquest also provides direct marketing and third - party printing services using the company ' s leftover printing capacity .
newsquest began trimming its titles in some places , including the sale of its wessex group of titles to bristol united press for £35 million in october 1997 , while launching new titles elsewhere . among the papers launched in 1997 were the harrow times , a free paper ; the gravesham news shopper , as part of the company ' s ten - title news shopper series ; and the chessington and hook surrey comet , launched in june 1997 . by october of that year , newsquest was ready to prepare a public offering . pricing for the company ' s stock was expected to range from 250 pence to 290 pence per share . although the company entered the london stock exchange at the low end of this range , the listing still valued newsquest at some £500 million .
while gannett denied that it meant for the newsquest acquisition , its first in europe since the early 1970s , to be a spearhead for a new european entry drive , newsquest , now with the backing of gannett ' s deep pockets ( with nearly us $ 3 billion available in 1999 ) , continued to seek to expand its own position . in november 1999 , the company completed the purchase of the hampshire chronicle group of newspapers , including the hampshire chronicle itself , another of the united kingdom ' s oldest continuing newspaper titles .

public ownership allowed newsquest to begin a new investment drive in expanding the company . after spending some £15 million on capital improvements , the company began an aggressive campaign of new title launches and acquisitions of existing titles . among the company ' s acquisitions in 1998 were contact - a - car , based in sussex ; the london property weekly group of real estate newspapers , with their circulation of 230 , 000 households ; kinsman reeds ltd . , with two northwest england titles ; and the review group , with three newspapers in hertfordshire . in 1998 alone the company spent more than £9 million on acquisitions of new titles . newsquest ' s new launches included the walton and weybridge guardian ; the sutton comet , a paid - for weekly , the eighth in the company ' s comet series ; and the staines property weekly , extending the company ' s newly acquired property weekly series . beyond targeting the local market , newsquest also expanded its niche titles , adding auto weekly , a car magazine published in conjunction with the northcliffe newspapers .

for this , brown and pfail turned to buyout specialist kohlberg kravis roberts ( kkr ) , which had recently made headlines with the acquisition of nabisco . kkr agreed to support the buyout , helping to raise a winning bid of £210 million . brown , pfail , and other management received a 12 percent share of the new company , while kkr held the remaining share . as reed - elsevier insisted on a name change , the new company took on the name ' newsquest , ' suggested by brown ' s secretary during a brainstorming session .
early 1999 saw the launch of the company ' s ' this is . . . ' internet series . offering portals to the company ' s regionally focused online titles , the ' this is . . . ' series - - already profitable , with revenues of more than £5 million - - was seen as one of the company ' s most potent assets for the future . newsquest was also finding success elsewhere on the net , with its auctionhunter web site and with a deal to provide ' thin content ' ( headlines that linked to the ' this is . . . ' sites ) to major internet providers . in march 1999 , the company ' s internet activities took on a further importance as the company joined with rivals trinity and associated newspapers to extend the ' this is . . . ' regional series to a ' this is britain ' national site , with links to content provided from the three publishing groups ' online and print titles . operating such a strategic portal was seen as a means to ensure a strong early position in the expected dominance of the internet in the early 21st century .

i joined ubm in 2012 , when ubm acquired the malaysian international furniture fair ( miff ) and with 10 years b2b event marketing experience i am the senior marketing manager for ubm malaysia . during my career journey , i found my passion to be in the events industry and discovered the value of marketing in contributing to the success and growth of the event business .
i am primarily responsible for event marketing including pr , advertising , branding , content marketing , special events , digital marketing - from traditional to online , so attracting exhibitors and visitors to the show . i also work for the corporate communications side of ubm malaysia , taking care of corporate pr and media relations .
as part of the ubm marketing community , i really enjoy sharing my career story with my peers . we cultivate ubm’s culture and values with our customers to grow and achieve success together . ubm is unique in the value it attaches to the contribution of marketers by providing opportunities such as education , recognition and career development . i always look forward to the annual ubm asia marketing meeting and ubm asia marketing awards . i feel proud and satisfied when all contributions are being truly recognised internally by management and colleagues as well as externally by the customers and business partners .
i moved over to the events industry 2 years ago after having been a familiar face on the coterie and intermezzo collections show floors for more than 25 years as both an exhibitor with my own multi - line showroom , and as a buyer . the events the ubm fashion team put on were sensational and inspired me to join the other side .
i was part of ubm’s acquisition of bji in april 2016 and joined the ubm team four months later assuming the role of show director of intermezzo collections and accessories circuit . in october of 2017 , i was made head of sales for our tier 1 women’s fashion events : coterie and project women’s new york and las vegas . i consider myself very lucky to be working with an incredible group of people , managing a staff of 12 , responsible for overseeing the sales teams and all sales related issues . in addition , i head up the brand screenings for both shows .
i am probably best known for successfully launching ubm fashion’s first consumer facing neighbourhood , vintage @ intermezzo ( now vintage @ coterie ) , which garnered a global epics award nomination ( ubm’s inaugural global awards ) for the breakthrough event leader category .
as a 35 - year fashion veteran and strong supporter of small business , i moved over to the events industry because i finally feel i’m in a position to actually help people , brands and retailers , to navigate the changing landscape we are currently experiencing in the fashion industry .
i am constantly inspired by the past , something many people will tell you to forget . the past was the inspiration for vintage @ intermezzo . vintage represents another time , when clothing and accessories weren’t mass produced , but created by hand with a love for the actual product itself . it speaks to the journey that brought us here and influences how we look at things in the future . i firmly believe that in order to know where you are going , you need to let the past inspire you along the way . that’s simply how i’ve always lived my life .
i commute to nyc every day from my home in new haven connecticut where i live with my partner of 18 years and our 2 rhodesian ridgebacks , eli and milo .
i joined ubm in 2016 , as a corporate marketing & communications manager for china . i am dedicated to delivering our ubm values ( the commitments ) and our culture both internally and externally . i especially like the ubm commitment “we do the right thing” . from a personal perspective i believe that the right motivation will lead to the right decisions and the right actions . ubmers are proud of the ubm culture .
i was fortunate to be selected as one of three delegates from ubm to attend the one young world 2017 global forum for young leaders , in bogota , colombia . this was a very special experience for me . it inspired me to become a change maker for a better world , and i hope that i can spread this positive energy and passion to everyone .
as a marketing & communications manager i really enjoy sharing ubm’s culture and values with our customers to improve the ubm brand image . i try to reach out to people inside and outside the company to encourage them to “do the right thing” not only in their works but also their lives . with this kind of opportunity i feel happy and satisfied working at ubm .
ubm provides a perfect platform for young people to engage with their individual career development . also , ubm is a place full of passion and opportunities , as long as you are willing to try , nothing is impossible .
being an ardent backpacker i have always been restless and felt the need to work in a dynamic company . three years with ubm , and it still feels like the journey has just begun .
this company is dynamic and bustling with opportunities . good processes and people provide me with the right environment and the fervour to give my best . what works for me is the way the management empowers us and helps us to succeed . we all have our ups and downs , but it’s important that we get back up again . that’s possible when we have a strong support system at work , and i am happy i’ve found this here at ubm in india .
there is this undercurrent of energy that sets this company apart , and i am glad to be a part of it . my learnings at ubm would be to embrace change and don’t be afraid to test new waters . ubm has got your back !
after joining ubm as an executive assistant in the technology department , i began to realize that my potential opportunities were limitless . i am a strong believer that anyone can create the career they want , but must be willing to do the work it takes to get there – what better place than ubm ?
in search of a true “events first” understanding , i connected with several show directors for the chance to attend some of our events held at the nearby javits center . doing so allowed me to attend and work at each of the events that have taken place in new york since i started at ubm .
my role in the technology team allows me to see many areas across the ubm business . i am able to learn all sides of the company , and i believe it allows me to become well rounded as an employee and individual .
the culture at ubm is amazing . everyone is friendly and always willing to provide a helping hand . i am happy with my decision to join the ubm family .
i joined as senior content manager and am now head of content for the protection & management series . i’m responsible for live and digital content on a portfolio of five events and two digital media sites , and i manage a team of four .
one of the things i love about ubm is the opportunity for progression . i’ve found it’s the kind of place where you get back what you put it in , so if you put yourself forward and work hard , you will be supported . a personal example of this was when i applied for the company’s international exchange programme . i spent three weeks working in san francisco with the team behind one of our biggest events , black hat . i went there to pick up ideas and share best practice , and it has to be one of the most exciting opportunities i’ve had in my career .
since joining ubm i’ve also : worked with very high profile speakers ( karren brady , sir ranulph fiennes and sir chris hoy were particular highlights ) ; developed and delivered my own training courses for internal teams across emea ; filmed interviews backstage at the o2 arena and down the tunnels of crossrail ; worked at events in the uk , germany , dubai and the usa ; used ‘ivolunteer’ days to support local charities ; and made friends for life .
it’s a great place to work – fast - paced , supportive and full of opportunities .

our corporate structure gives us the flexibility of a small company with the support and backing of one of the world’s leading media groups .
the united kingdom ' s regional newspaper market of the 1990s was highly fragmented and technology poor in the mid - 1990s . more than two decades of strict government - led merger controls - - meant to prevent the appearance of monopolies in the country ' s highly popular local and regional newspaper circuit , which numbered more than 1 , 200 titles - - had left many newspaper concerns cash - strapped , without the critical mass required for much needed capital investments . the government began to relax its rules in the 1980s , starting with the country ' s ' fleet street ' of national news titles . the resulting consolidation of the national newspaper market enabled a massive investment program , bringing new printing and input technologies and machinery to the industry . these improvements not only helped the newspapers - - and their owners - - but the consumer also saw a better - printed , more easy to read product .
the regional market , however , remained highly fragmented among many smaller companies . unable to make the needed investments and unable to grow through acquisition , many local and regional companies had no choice but to slash costs by reducing staff and sacrificing production quality in order to remain afloat . meanwhile , a share of the market was held by several of the country ' s media giants , including pearson , reed - elsevier , and emap . unable to expand their shares of the regional market , and seeking instead to capture more of the higher - end , higher - margin publishing markets , these companies began looking to shed their regional holdings in the mid - 1990s .
by 1995 , the government ' s willingness to allow greater consolidation in the regional market had resulted in a flurry of acquisitions . consolidation took on greater steam as the major media groups began selling off their regional and local newspaper holdings . reed - elsevier , the dutch - british media power , decided to shed its reed regional newspapers subsidiary as part of its mid - 1990s restructuring . while profitable , reed regional ' s 125 - title holdings of regional and local newspapers no longer fit its parent company ' s focus . upon learning of this decision , reed regional ' s ceo , jim brown , together with finance director john pfail , asked to be allowed to perform a management buyout of the division .
scottish - born brown started his newspaper career as a junior reporter for scotland ' s ayreshire post . brown went on to build a well - respected career as a journalist , moving to the glasgow arena , then joining thomson newspapers , where he was promoted into management . at the beginning of the 1980s , brown was hired away by reed - elsevier , where he was placed in charge of the reed regional division . by the mid - 1960s , brown , at 60 years old , was facing retirement . however , reed - elsevier accepted his proposal to organize a management buyout bid to compete with other suitors of reed - regional .
