We
@ Ely Online are proud to have taken part in the BBC TV Show of the Millennium
and are glad that Oliver Cromwell and other local Hero Lord Nelson made
it to the final 10. We are sure that the programme has inspired lots of
people to give a little more credit to all our Great Britons. Our sincere
thanks to the BBC for blessing us with such a fine Educational Series
& Finalé.
