The grave of Wallace Hartley, the Bandmaster and Lead-Violinist on the RMS Titanic who lost his life in the disaster. He and all of the band members stayed at their post as the ship sank, playing (according to most reports) the hymn "Nearer my God To Thee"). Camera: Sony RX100. Processed with Nikon Capture NX2. After the Titanic hit an iceberg and began to sink, Hartley and his fellow band members started playing music to help keep the passengers calm as the crew loaded the lifeboats. Many of the survivors said that he and the band continued to play until the very end. None of the band members survived the sinking. One survivor claimed to have seen Hartley and his band standing on the boat deck near the entrance to the grand staircase, near the base of the second funnel. He went on to say that he saw three of them washed off while the other five held on to the railing on top the Grand Staircase's deckhouse, only to be dragged down with the bow, as Hartley exclaimed, "Gentlemen, I bid you farewell." A newspaper at the time reported "the part played by the orchestra on board the Titanic in her last dreadful moments will rank among the noblest in the annals of heroism at sea." Hartley's body was recovered by the Mackay–Bennett almost two weeks after the sinking and several press reports confirmed that Wallace was found "fully dressed with his music case strapped to his body". He was transferred to the Arabic and returned to England. Wallace's father, Albion, met the ship at Liverpool and brought his son back to his home town of Colne, Lancashire. The funeral took place on 18th May 1912. One thousand people attended his funeral, while an estimated 30,000 - 40,000 lined the route of his funeral procession. Hartley is buried in the Keighley Road cemetery, Colne, where a 10 feet (3.0 m) high headstone containing a carved violin at its base was erected in his honour. (Wikipedia).

Richard "Dick" Turpin (1705 – 1739) was an English highwayman whose exploits were romanticised following his execution in York for horse theft. Turpin may have followed his father's profession as a butcher early in life but by the early 1730s he had joined a gang of deer thieves and later became a poacher, burglar, horse thief and killer. He is also known for a fictional 200-mile (320 km) overnight ride from London to York on his horse Black Bess, a story that was made famous by the Victorian novelist William Harrison Ainsworth almost 100 years after Turpin's death. Turpin's involvement in the crime for which he is most closely associated—highway robbery—followed the arrest of the other members of his gang in 1735. He then disappeared from public view towards the end of that year, only to resurface in 1737 with two new accomplices, one of whom he may have accidentally shot and killed. Turpin fled from the scene and shortly afterwards killed a man who attempted his capture. Later that year he moved to Yorkshire and assumed the alias of John Palmer. While he was staying at a local inn magistrates became suspicious and made enquiries as to how he was funding his extravagant lifestyle. Suspected of being a horse thief, Turpin / "Palmer" was imprisoned in York Castle to await trial at the next assizes. Turpin's true identity was revealed by a letter he wrote to his brother-in-law from his prison cell which fell into the hands of the authorities. On 22nd March 1739 Turpin was found guilty on two charges of horse theft and sentenced to death. He was hanged at Knavesmire (located close to the present-day York racecourse and which was known locally as "The York Tyburn") on 7th April 1739. (Wikipedia. (edited)).
