    Not the Cardigans, Ace of Base or Roxette. That would be a good tour. This band is even bigger than those three.

    A clue. When the singer visits his mother he is Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson.

    You are correct BB without saying the band is Europe, The Final Countdown is a big point to who the band was. Their tour of United Kingdom in 2015 finishes in London.

    That's the one - the first member of HoL to be named as a murderer since 1760. Probably not the last though...

    Over to you. :)

    No, that happened around five months earlier - but it does have something to do with 'Enery....

    Not what I'm looking for, but it was certainly something to do with that marriage. It's also linked with a very recent 'celebration'...

    The wedding had the first papal dispensation to allow a monarch to keep the throne as king with a queen consort, rather than king and queen.

    Arthur (1486-1502) was the oldest son to survive infancy, but he died in his teens leaving Henry (b.1491) to ascend to the throne; even with an older sister Margaret (b.1489).
