A rare flag flown from a polar sledge used to hunt for survivors of Captain Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition has been saved for the nation thanks to a [https://www.b2bmarketing.net/en-gb/search/site/campaign campaign] backed by Michael Palin and Dan Snow. The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) launched a last-ditch campaign to raise the £120,000 needed to stop the Kellet sledge flag from passing into the hands of an overseas private collector. It succeeded thanks to £98,170 from the [https://topofblogs.com/?s=National%20Lottery National Lottery] Heritage Fund and £40,000 from the Art Fund, with match-funding from the NMRN enabling the museum to buy the flag and put it on display at its sites in Hartlepool, Portsmouth and [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=Belfast Belfast].

Picture date: Wednesday May 16, 2023. (Andrew Matthews, PA) The flag was owned by 19th century Irish naval officer Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett and flown during the third of a series of expeditions from 1852 to 1854 to look for [https://belimbing-pupuan.desa.id/produk/planet88/ bokep indonesia] survivors, or evidence of bodies, after Franklin's expedition. A NMRN spokeswoman said: "Mystery surrounding the fate of the Franklin expedition and the 129 crew ignited public debate and intrigue for decades until the discovery of his two ships, HMS Erebus in 2014 and HMS Terror in 2016. "Franklin's failed expedition takes on a symbolic place within Arctic exploration, especially within the British Isles and Canada, leading to the successful mapping of the [https://www.europeana.eu/portal/search?query=Canadian%20archipelago Canadian archipelago] and northern mainland coastline." Professor Dominic Tweddle, NMRN director general, said: "Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett's sledge flag and Franklin's expedition represent courage and fortitude in the face of adversity - core elements of our national identity that echo through our history. "They also reflect the British and global obsession with finding and navigating the Northwest Passage, as well as the Royal Navy's role in expedition and exploration from Captain Cook to Darwin and HMS Beagle, to HMS Challenger in 1872, and continuing today with HMS Protector - the ice patrol ship in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere."

(Andrew Matthews, PA) He added: "The National Museum is proud to have stepped forward to save the Kellett flag from being exported overseas and to continue our work linking navy to nation." Measuring 595 by 885mm within a frame of 710 by 995mm, the flag is in a fragile condition and is being assessed by the museum's conservation team for recommended treatment. NMRN conservator Rachel Trembath said: "The flag will be sent to a specialist textile conservator, who will remove the metal pins securing it to the backboard. It will need to be stabilised and issues particularly around the fragile right-hand edge will be addressed. "The decision to clean the flag will have to balance the long-term preservation needs with the historical significance of the staining and ingrained dirt. The flag will undergo testing for light sensitivity so we can display it safely." The flag was made from silk in a rich green colour with an Irish harp embroidered in golden thread to reflect Kellett's Irish heritage.

(Andrew Matthews, PA) The museum spokeswoman said: "The green colour has faded over time due to exposure to light, but the flag remains in fairly good condition with a small crudely sewn repair that was likely done by a member of the search party whilst on the ice. "The maker is unknown but the motto Auxilium Ab Alto translates to Help From Above." Lord Parkinson said: "I am delighted that this flag - an important link with our past, and a symbol of courage and curiosity - has been saved for the nation." "The export bar system and a tireless fundraising campaign spearheaded by The National Museum of the Royal Navy means this inspiring item will now be on public display for generations to come."

The army has been [https://www.wordreference.com/definition/pounding%20targets pounding targets] across the three cities since Tuesday as it tries to root out RSF forces that have taken control of large residential areas and strategic sites since early in the conflict that erupted on April 15. "There's been heavy air strikes and RPG fire since 6:30 a.m.", said Ahmed, a resident of the Bahri neighbourhood of Shambat. "We're lying on the ground and there are people living near us who ran to the Nile to protect themselves there under the embankment." Army and RSF delegations have been meeting since the end of last week in talks sponsored by the United States and Saudi Arabia in the Saudi city of Jeddah on the Red Sea. Negotiations aim to secure an effective truce and allow access for aid workers and supplies after repeated ceasefire announcements failed to stop the fighting. After days of no apparent movement, a mediation source told Reuters on Wednesday that the negotiations had made progress and a ceasefire agreement was expected soon. A second [https://www.nuwireinvestor.com/?s=source%20familiar source familiar] with the talks said a deal was close. Talks continued late into the night. U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland earlier said U.S. negotiators were "cautiously optimistic" about securing a commitment to humanitarian principles and a ceasefire but were also looking at appropriate targets for sanctions if the warring factions did not back this. The conflict has created a humanitarian crisis in Africa's third-largest nation by area, displacing more than 700,000 people inside the country and prompting 150,000 to flee to neighbouring states. It has also sparked unrest in [https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=Sudan%27s%20western Sudan's western] Darfur region. The U.N. World Food Programme said that up to 2.5 million more Sudanese were expected to fall into hunger in the coming months because of the conflict, raising the number of people suffering acute food insecurity to 19 million. Since the battles began on April 15, the RSF have dug in across Khartoum neighbourhoods, set up checkpoints, occupied state buildings and placed snipers on rooftops. The army has been using air strikes and heavy artillery to try to dislodge them. The RSF on Tuesday said the historic presidential palace in central Khartoum, which has symbolic importance and is in a strategic area that the RSF says it controls, had been hit by an air strike and destroyed, a claim the army denied. Drone footage filmed on Wednesday and verified by Reuters appeared to show the building, known as the Old Republican Palace, intact, though smoke could be seen coming from the southeast edge of the palace compound. The fighting has left more than 600 people dead and 5,000 injured, according to the World Health Organization but the real figure is thought to be much higher. Witnesses have reported seeing bodies strewn in the streets. Most hospitals have been put out of service and a breakdown of law and order has led to widespread looting. Fuel and food supplies have been running low. "Our only hope is that the negotiations in Jeddah succeed to end this hell and return to normal life, and to stop the war, the looting, the robbery and the chaos," said Ahmed Ali, a 25-year-old resident of Khartoum. Aid agency Islamic Relief said many aid operations in Darfur and Khartoum remained suspended due to extreme insecurity. It plans to provide aid to thousands of people in Al Gezira state, southeast of Khartoum, where some 50,000 people have fled, as well as to people in parts of Khartoum State and North Kordofan, where fighting has raged. Conflicts are not new to Sudan, a country that sits at a strategic crossroad between Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and the [https://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=volatile%20Sahel volatile Sahel] region, although most unrest in the past occurred in remote areas. The United Nations has projected that 5 million additional people will need emergency assistance inside Sudan while 860,000 are expected to flee to neighbouring states.
