We English, or many of us, are also grateful for when William of Orange
landed in Britain in 1689, by invitation to become our king and
guarantee our liberties which were under threat. But I had better not
say more as this could stir up political and religious  arguments which
are still not buried deeply, indeed still lie behind conflict in Ireland.
