Members of the Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford were delighted to sing at Marlborough House on 10 March to help celebrate Commonwealth Day and the inaugural Commonwealth Peace Prize.
The audience included Their Majesties the King and Queen The Royal Family and distinguished guests and high commissioners from the 56 nations of The Commonwealth.
Along with singers from The BRIT School, they sang the debut of Love in Peace, a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Ben Elton and Bruno Major. The singers were thrilled to have a masterclass with Lloyd Webber as part of the rehearsals for the evening.

✨ Get Weird, Get Creative, Make a Zine! ✨
This term, we ditched the screens and got stuck into some real cut-and-paste creativity with Imperfect Bound Collective! From collaging to photocopier experiments, the Library’s zine-making workshop was all about self-expression, spontaneity, and a little bit of fun.
Zines are low on perfectionism—whether you’re crafting a mini-manifesto, a chaotic collage, or just spreading the word: please don’t eat in the library, it attracts pests! 🐜📚
Missed the workshop? Fancy getting involved next time? Let us know! And check out @imperfectboundcollective for more zine inspiration.

Dr Christopher Metcalf, Lobel Fellow in Classics, has just published Three Myths of Kingship in Early Greece and the Ancient Near East: The Servant, the Lover, and the Fool (Cambridge University Press, 2025). 📖✨
Drawing on newly discovered Sumerian texts and Greek myths, the book uncovers powerful story-patterns shaping ancient kingship—from the rise of outsiders to power to the divine forces behind rulers' legitimacy.
