This is such a wonderful picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip with Jack and Jackie Kennedy as they were such beautiful iconic couples. It was still good as Jack Kennedy was President of the United States of America and Jackie Kennedy was the First Lady that a lot of American women wanted to be like. #royalfamily #britishroyalfamily #ripqueenelizabeth #elizabethalexandramary #princephilip #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #johnfitzgeraldkennedy #jfk #jacquelinekennedy #jackiekennedy #jackiekennedyonassis https://www.instagram.com/p/CiWSPWusLVp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When JFK came to Cork | 28 June 1963
by Mary Horgan
This summer marks the 60th anniversary of the visit of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States of America, to Cork. As part of his historic four-day trip to Ireland, five months before his assassination in Dallas on 22nd November 1963, he visited Wexford, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork. JFK’s eight great grandparents had emigrated to America during the 19th century. Welcoming him back to the homeland of his ancestors was for so many, like welcoming one of their own home again.
Interestingly, a visit to Cork was not originally on the agenda, but anticipation rose two weeks before the president’s arrival in the country, when the Evening Echo reported that ‘Mr. Kennedy himself had asked specifically that Cork be included as part of his Irish itinerary’ as some of his ancestors had hailed from the county.
Evening Echo, 14 June 1963
But also, Cork people don’t like to be excluded and can be very persuasive; remember, how in 2011, Cork made certain that Queen Elizabeth II would not leave Ireland without visiting the city. At a meeting of Cork Corporation on 26 May 1963, it was agreed that the Freedom of Cork should be offered to President Kennedy. On 11 June, he was formally nominated and elected a freeman of the city of Cork, with the actual conferring to take place during his visit on 28 June 1963. This was the second time that a U.S. president became a Freeman of Cork; the first being, Woodrow Wilson, in 1919. As the day of the visit drew closer, the public learnt more about the planned itinerary through the local press. On 21 June, Lord Mayor Seán Casey, T.D. issued an appeal to employers to allow their staff time off work to welcome the U.S. President and requested that businesses and houses along the route of the motorcade would decorate their premises for the occasion. Sixty telephone lines and specialized wired photograph facilities for members of the world’s press were installed in the City Hall and 900 gardaí were allocated to be on duty during the Cork visit.
On the morning of Friday 28 June 1963, five helicopters left Dublin carrying JFK and entourage. Shortly after 10a.m. the sound of helicopters could be heard above the streets of Cork. Ten minutes later, the President landed safely on the square in Collins Barracks, on the north side of the city. The official welcoming party included Lord Mayor Seán Casey, Jack Lynch, T.D. who was Minister for Industry and Commerce at the time and Walter McEvilly, the City Manager. The combined pipe bands of the 4th and 12th Infantry Battalions played ‘The Boys from Wexford’ and ‘Kelly the Boy from Killane’.

The Presidential motorcade consisted of fourteen vehicles, including three buses for members of the world’s press and a Secret Service car – not a common site on the streets of Cork. An estimated 100,000 people, some carrying American flags, lined the streets, as the motorcade made its way down Summerhill, along MacCurtain Street, over Patrick’s Bridge, then along Patrick Street, Grand Parade, South Mall and over Brian Boru Bridge to the City Hall.
(The Irish Times, 29 June 1963)
The bells of Shandon rang out across the city, and it seemed that at almost every corner, musicians felt compelled to show their joy at the visit by taking up their instruments. The Irish Times reported that: ‘Rose petals, confetti streamers and ticker tape were strewn along President Kennedy’s path as almost 100,000 Leesiders roared a Céad Míle Fáilte, again and again’. Businesses had followed the Lord Mayor’s request to close and erected signs such as: ‘Closed, gone to meet President Kennedy’. In their excitement, sometimes the crowds surged forward, eager to shake JFK’s hand, make eye contact, clap him on the back, thank him for coming, while concerned Secret Service men looked on. But he was in no danger in this place, and he must have felt that because sometimes he even leaned forward from the car and brushed hands against the outspread fingers of people nearest the motorcade.

When the motorcade finally arrived at the City Hall, 2,000 invited guests awaited the president inside the Concert Hall, where his entrance was greeted by a fanfare of trumpets from the Southern Command Band.
On behalf of the city, the Lord Mayor welcomed him with the following words:
‘Throughout its long history, Cork has received many famous visitors from many parts of the world but I can confidently say that no man has ever come within our walls who is more welcome than John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the great republic of the west, leader of the powerful nation to whom we all owe so much’.

President Kennedy accepted the Freedom Casket containing his Certificate of Freedom. Designed by the well-known Cork firm, Wm. Egan & Sons, it was made of solid silver, gilded in fine gold, mounted on a plinth of Connemara marble and engraved with shamrock, Celtic design, the Cork Coat of Arms, the U.S. Eagle Crest and the Kennedy family crest. The President’s concluded his eight-minute speech, which was relayed over loudspeakers to the crowds outside with the following words:
‘So I must say Mr. Mayor, that when I am retired from public life, I will take the greatest pride and satisfaction in not only having been President of my own country but a Freeman of this City.’

This photo shows JFK leaving the City Hall en route to Marine One helicopter waiting at the Marina Park, Victoria Road, which is now known as Kennedy Park in his honour. A crowd of about 5,000 had made their way there with some running in under the whirling blades of the helicopter. The pilot had a difficult job to clear a path through the crowd before executing a take-off which had him hovering with the wheels almost touching the heads below.
The Irish Times reported:
‘A White House Press Corps man wiped perspiration from his brow and said: “Gee, that was the most dangerous take-off I’ve ever seen in many years of covering American Presidents. Cork outdoes anything I’ve seen before. I thought the mobbing in Berlin was bad, but now I know better. My message home will be of this one helleva hooley we had in Cork.’
JFK’s visit to Cork was a short one, but in the words of The Cork Examiner:
‘Cork indeed will remember, and President Kennedy will never forget’.

A AI imagines the children of iconic couples (real or fictional) SOURCE: @creapills.com AI: @Midjourney ARTIST: @Jérémy_Pomeroy Whether they were together in real life or only on screen, certain couples are simply emblematic, like the one formed by Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt or even Chandler and Monica in the series Friends. Artistic director Jérémy Pomeroy then had the idea of imagining what the children of these unforgettable couples would look like using artificial intelligence. Since his beginnings, the creative from Australia and founder of the agency Total Marketing Australia has often featured celebrities in his works. In his latest project entitled “Celebrity What If?”, he questioned image generators like Midjourney, capable of creating visual content based solely on textual queries. With the help of Photoshop software, he then retouched the images so that the resemblances and the quality of the renderings were as accurate as possible. Whether it's couples who are now separated like Johnny Depp and Winona Rider or Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake or simply cult cinema romances like that of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in Never Forget or of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, all form adorable families where the children undeniably bear a strong resemblance to their parents. We let you discover below this series of original images created by Jérémy Pomeroy which obviously quickly became viral on the networks. To find out more about the artist and his work, you can visit his website and his Instagram account.

Today, May 19th, marks the 58th anniversary of this iconic moment when Marilyn Monroe sung her inmortal "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy in 1962. This is one of the illustrations that meant more to me when I created it and that I’m most proud of. #marilynmonroe #happybirthdaymrpresident #jfk #madisonsquaregarden #johnfitzgeraldkennedy #oldhollywood #alejandromogolloart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXsk2HnYiL/?igshid=1x0zw0129om04
