Rev Williams sent a letter, which was seen by LBC, to members of the choir and acknowledged "the mixed emotions" her departure was likely to…...

Nostradamus, a French astrologer and purported 'seer', according to Britannica, suggested the onset of warfare in England, a meteor striking Earth and an aquatic ruler ascending to authority. Regardless, the man whom the History Channel dubbed the "Most famous seer," foresaw apocalyptic events arriving in 2025's final quarter.
