From humble beginnings to iconic landmarks, 'started' signifies the birth of greatness. XH844 started out as a Gloster Javelin F (AW)7, soaring through the skies with grace and power. The Post Office Tower, once just an idea, now stands tall as a symbol of communication and progress. In the thrilling Whippet Race Start, these agile dogs burst forth with lightning speed, igniting excitement in every spectator's heart. Bessie Bonehill, a trailblazing male impersonator from 1855-1902, fearlessly started a revolution in the music hall industry by challenging societal norms. The historic F. A. Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in 1923 marked the start of an era where football became more than just a game; it united nations and ignited passion like never before. A Corporal of the 1st / 9th Battalion Highland Light Infantry bravely took his first steps into battle – his unwavering determination marking the start of heroism on the battlefield. Guildford Cathedral emerged from its foundations as an architectural marvel that would inspire generations to come. Hardwick Old Hall witnessed countless stories unfold within its ancient walls – each one representing new beginnings and endless possibilities. Les Honneurs sous le feu commenced amidst chaos but showcased bravery under fire – reminding us that even in adversity, courage can prevail. Once again at another Whippet Race Start, anticipation fills the air as these graceful creatures prepare to sprint towards victory once more. Peterborough Cathedral's majestic spires reach for heaven above - their construction signifying both spiritual devotion and architectural mastery. Lastly, towering over London's skyline is none other than the Post Office Tower - an emblematic structure that began as mere blueprints but now connects millions across continents with ease. In every corner of history and society lies evidence of remarkable starts - be it aviation or entertainment; war or worship; sports or telecommunications.
