The book launch event on 29 Oct 2007 for the book “Marie of Romania. Images of a Queen” by Diana Mandache at the National Museum of History Bucharest in TVR1 news.

This book is the first pictorial chronicle of Queen Marie illustrating the life, times and legacy of this flamboyant Balkan monarch of English and Russian extraction. It represents a vivid insight into the European royal circles and events of the late Victorian era and inter-war period. Queen Marie of Romania is famous for her glamorous lifestyle and literary pursuits, but also for her charitable work on the frontline during First World War and the unofficial diplomatic representation of her country at the post-war peace conference. She was a highly qualified witness of a period of great historical upheavals and transformations and this record in images is a tribute to her memory.

Bill Parfrey Book Launch 2006 Part 2

December 29, 2009 - 2:28 pm No Comments

Bill was born in Cork in 1926, moving to Cahir and returning in later years, getting married in 1944, Bill documents what it was like to grow up, work and live in these times in Ireland. Throughout his lifetime he grappled with the path he was guided through, leading to his healing and psychic experiences. In the winter of his days, Bill is now 83 years of age, Bill is spiritually strong, but his physical body is wearing out and he has difficulty with vision, walking and requires frequent hospitalisation. He is overwhelmed by the messages of love and prayers which come from all quarters of the country and indeed much further afield. Please be aware that Bill is unable to answer all your emails and letters as it is simply too much for him. Part of the job Bill wanted to fulfill before he departed this world, was to write down his story as it is. It may help you or it may not but this in reality is the last great task which we can ask Bill to complete at this time in his life. With every best wish and blessing to each of you.
