When I first heard of Sealand, back when I was a wee kitten, the place captured my imagination. That imagination was rekindled a few years ago, when Sealand was reportedly for sale. Owning your own country, in the middle of the ocean?

The founder of Sealand, who started off as a radio pirate, has now passed away. "I might die young, I might die old, but I won't die of boredom"

Rest in peace, Prince Roy. E Mare Libertas.

A hearty salute to one of my favourite kinds of Englishman. Brave and barmy, decent and rebellious, 'romantic' and hard-nosed, all in equal measure. We are losing them now as histroy rolls on but I shall raise a brandy to his memory this evening.

A class act has passed. There are fewer and fewer of his kind every generation.
