On 21 November 1783 two courageous Frenchmen became the first human beings to fly. They rose silently above the rooftops of Paris in a richly-decorated paper balloon, the invention of the Montgolfier brothers.
Last year to commemorate this remarkable event the French launched replicas and played host to balloonists from all over the world who came to celebrate 200 years of flight.

A series about six remarkable women, all born around 1900, when it was difficult for them to fulfil their talents.
Dame Flora Robson interviewed by Joanna Lumley
Flora Robson is recognised as one of Britain's outstanding actresses. But after graduating from RADA in the 1920s, she had to struggle to find work at first. The acting profession at that time favoured glamour rather than dramatic ability. Eventually Flora Robson gave up and found employment in a factory. Four years later, she returned to the stage and never looked back. For over five decades she took leading roles in the theatre, in films and on television. Her outstanding performances won many awards, but one of her most famous roles was Elizabeth I in the film Fire
Over England. Now retired, Dame Flora lives on the Sussex coast.
