There's some popping up on my Facebook and twitter. (And hopefully my blog if the software still works). Feel free to repost here as I can't from my phone.

From Jon Rees. Mary Jane Kelly's grave in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Leytonstone, the subject of a pilgrimage by the 125 conventioneers at this 125th Anniversary Jack the Ripper Convention, being held on the anniversary of her bloody murder.

"I've spoken about Mary Jane Kelly to 124 Ripperologists in the room that her inquest took place in on the anniversary of her murder. Apparently it went really well! Phew."

From Jon Rees. Life in Whitechapel. Lindsay Sivitar in the second shot, I believe, standing at the bar second from the left.





Jon can confirm this but it looks as if they may have been recreating the inquest on Mary Jane Kelly.

Another Instagram from Ms. Clegg --

"I've just been presented with a Jack the Ripper bear for speaking at the conference. Complete with tiny bloodied knife."

CTG's comment (copied from other 125th Anniversary thread): It wouldn't be a Ripper convention without "some drinking involved."

And an Instagram from Big Jon --

Jon Rees: "The legendary Mr Neil Storey."



Jon again: "Conference chocolate!"



Melanie Clegg commented: "We've just been given Ripper Victim Hershey's chocolate. I'm conflicted about this."

See her Instagram: http://instagram.com/p/ggl_vMKp7H/#

And a P.S. from Melanie (no Hershey Spa treatment for Ms. Clegg I see) -- "I've just been reminded that Hershey's tastes like parmesan."

[Chris G.]

Looks like Jon received the Ripper Bear too. . .
