Edgar Allan Poe Funeral Service

After 160 years, Edgar Allan Poe has been honoured with a decent funeral service in Baltimore. When he died in 1849 he was an impoverished lunatic and almost no-one showed up for his funeral service! His gravestone was broken and his obituary written by one of his enemies! It is about time that he was properly honoured.

Your Monday questions are: -
  1. Where did the 19th Summer Olympic Games open today in 1968?

  2. Which actress married Steven Spielberg (right) today in 1991?

  3. Which Brighton hotel was attacked by IRA bombers today in 1984?
Yesterday's Answers: 1. Sir Bobby Charlton; 2. "Bones"; 3. Henry J Heinz
