The Sharpe's Children Foundation to Launch at Apsley House - Home of The Duke of Wellington !
Homes do not come any grander than Apsley House and The Sharpe's Children Foundation are overwhelmed to have been graciously invited by The Duke of Wellington and his son Lord Douro to the magnificent Waterloo Gallery on the evening of October 21st to announce it's mission and intentions to the world.
 
Apsley House is widely regarded as the finest private residence in London and the launch of The Sharpe's Children Foundation will be the first ever event, other than the famous Waterloo Banquets, ever held at Number One London. Daragh O'Malley, Director of The Sharpe's Children Foundation says: " I am actually astounded that The Duke of Wellington is throwing open his magnificent home for the baptism of The Sharpe's Children Foundation. This is a major endorsement of our efforts to alleviate the disease of child poverty and achieve universal primary education. It also shows that Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels and the subsequent TV series have made a huge impact on all levels of society. I am also dizzy at the prospect that the ghost of The Iron Duke will be there, in his home, on the great evening to wish us well ."

This just in from the Sharpe's Children Foundation. "Seven weeks to go to The Sharpe's Children Foundation launch at Apsley House, Number One London - the magnificent home of The Duke of Wellington ! Sean Bean today confirmed that his filming schedule on Game of Thrones will allow him to attend. Bernard Cornwell will ...also be there to celebrate the launch of this very unique charity."

 Great to have this such high profile after all daragh's good work. Good to have some more positive publicity for Sean as well. Hope he does actually attend.

I hope that they do well and raise a lot of money for the foundation.

I hope there are a ton of photos made public for this. It woulds be wonderful to see!

And it would be a 'dress up' affair so he should be looking good





and he won't have any accessories either I'm guessing

John Tams is the latest actor to confirm that he will attend the launch of The Sharpe’s Children Foundation on October 21st. John, who adapted the Warhorse novel for radio and wrote 23 songs for the hit stage show, is currently working with Steven Speilberg on the film version which is being filmed in the UK. It is rumoured that John will be joined by Sean Bean and other actors in a rendition of Over the HIlls and Far Away at the launch at Apsley House.

  I would'nt be too sure about that.

which bit??

Hmmmmm, let's see: Well he'll certainly have the Ned Stark beard.  He's likely to wear a pinstripe suit.  If he's feeling like it really is important to dress up, he'll have on a white shirt and tie, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope for that.  As for arm accessories, I highly doubt he'll bother since he'll be meeting up with Daragh and John Tams and who knows how many of his other Sharpe comrades which means a smashingly good time with free-flowing alcohol.  I think I can just about imagine the pics as the evening wears on.

I bet he'll wear that gold chain (again). Dose anyone know if he has a cross on the end of that chain? Or is it some other good
luck charm ?

If, as PAtch's post on the Handsworth FC thread says - he's involved in midnight shoots, he's not exactly in a position to meet any suitable ?? accessories at the moment anyway.

Feeling quite jealous of anyone going to the event.  I visited Apsley house (as an English Heritage member) a few years ago and teh areas open to the public were amazing.
