The Context
What was the context in the United Kingdom in 1966?
More than 4,000 people attend a memorial service at Westminster Abbey for the broadcaster Richard Dimbleby, who died last month aged 52. Three British MPs visiting Rhodesia (Christopher Rowland, Jeremy Bray and David Ennals) are assaulted there by supporters of Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith. The White minority-ruled regime in Rhodesia rejects the royal prerogative commuting death sentences on two Africans. The Marquess of Bath, in conjunction with Jimmy Chipperfield, opens Longleat Safari Park, with "the lions of Longleat", at his Longleat House, the first such drive-through safari park outside of Africa. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley go on trial at Chester Crown Court, charged with murdering two children and a teenager in the highly publicised Moors murders which came to light in October last year.
