In entertainment circles, names like Archie Andrews, Peter Brough, and Vera Lynn remind us of unforgettable performances that have stood the test of time. Meanwhile, Bouquinistes along Paris Quais continue to entice book lovers with their treasure troves of knowledge. The Statue of the Virgin Mary at Saigon's Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica serves as a beacon for spiritual seekers in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), while prima ballerina Beryl Grey graced stages around the world with her extraordinary talent. Let us not forget Lady Houston D. B. E. , whose philanthropy touched countless lives.
