Which saint is Liverpool cathedral dedicated to?
Liverpool has two cathedrals - the Anglican cathedral and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. Because of its shape, and because of a large Catholic Irish immigrant population in Liverpool, the Roman Catholic cathedral is affectionately known by the locals as 'Paddy's Wigwam', although its official title is the 'Metropolitan Cathedral of Liverpool'. The mammoth Anglican cathedral is by far the larest cathedral in the UK, and the largest Anglican church worldwide, even though the present cathedral is a fraction of its originally intended size. Neither cathedral is dedicated to a saint solely; The Roman Catholic cathedral is dedicated to Christ the King, and the Anglican Cathderal is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is very apt that the cathedrals are at both ends of the same street - the very appropriately named Hope Street.
What is the major port city in wales?
There are five official cities in Wales: 1. Cardiff, the capital - Cathedral city status (Llandaff cathedral - in the 'village' of Llandaff, now a district of Cardiff) 2.

Where is the tallest church in England?
As you have stated 'chapel' I assume that you are referring to Christian places of worship as opposed to places of worship in other religions or pre Christian religious sites like Stonehenge or Avebury. It is difficult to define the largest 'chapel' in the UK, as the word 'chapel' can have many different meanings - from a small area inside a larger church set aside for worship and dedicated to a particular saint (eg, a lady chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary), or a church that is associated with a larger building (eg St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle) or a non-conformist church such as a Baptist Chapel or Methodist Chapel. Since some non-conformist places of worship are called chapels and some churches for no good reason but local custom, to define the largest 'chapel' is almost impossible. However, as for a Christian church - the largest church in the UK, and the largest Anglican church in the world, and the largest place of worship of any modern religion is the Anglican Cathedral of Liverpool. This mammoth building has the highest modern vaulting in the world (Nelson's column in London would just fit underneath it - if you removed Nelson's hat) at 116 feet and also boasts the largest pipe organ in the UK - a mammoth 5-manual instrument of 10,268 pipes, and is regarded as probably the largest fully-operational organ (as opposed to those in the USA that are only partially functioning) in the world. It has the highest (219 feet) and heaviest (31 tons) peal of church bells in the world. The cathderal's length is 619 feet and its floor area 104,275 square feet or nearly 2.4 acres or over two football pitches, and its tower is 331 feet tall.
What was the war on the western front during world war 2?
On May 10, the Phoney War ended with a sweeping German invasion of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and French Third Republic that bypassed French fortifications along the Maginot Line. After overrunning Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg, Germany turned against France, entering the country through the Ardennes on May 13-the French had made the fatal mistake of leaving this area almost totally undefended, believing its terrain to be impassable for tanks and other vehicles. Most Allied forces were in Flanders, anticipating a re-run of the World War I Schlieffen Plan, and were cut off from the French mainland. As a result of this, and also the superior German communications and tactics, the Battle of France was shorter than virtually all prewar Allied thought could have conceived. It lasted six weeks, including the Luftwaffe bombing of Paris June 3, after which France surrendered on June 22. In order to further the humiliation of the French people and the country itself, Hitler arranged for the surrender document to be signed in the same railway coach where the German surrender had been signed in 1918. The surrender divided France into two parts; the Northern part occupied by Germany, and a southern part under French control, based at Vichy and referred to as Vichy France, a rump state allied and friendly to Germany. Many French soldiers, as well as those of other occupied countries, escaped to Britain. The General de Gaulle proclaimed himself the legitimate leader of the Free French organization and vowed to continue to fight. On June 10 Italy declared war on both France and the United Kingdom. Vyacheslav Molotov, the Foreign Policy Minister of the U.S.S.R., which was tied with Soviet-German non-aggression treaty, congratulated the Germans: "We hand over the most cordial congratulations by the Soviet government on the occasion of splendid success of German Wehrmacht. Guderian's tanks broke through to the sea near Abbeville, powered by Soviet fuel, the German bombs, that razed Rotterdam to the ground, were filled with Soviet pyroxylin, and bullet cases, which hit the British soldiers retreating from Dunkirk, were cast of Soviet cupronickel alloy..." Later, on April 24, 1941, the U.S.S.R. gave full diplomatic recognition to the Vichy government situated in the non-occupied zone in France Thus, the fall of France left Britain and its Empire to stand alone. The British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, resigned during the battle and was replaced by Winston Churchill. Fortunately for Britain, much of its army escaped capture from the northern French port of Dunkirk, where hundreds (if not thousands) of tiny civoverextended and would require extensive refitting; in any case, Hitler elected to follow the advice of the leader of German air forces Hermann Göring and allow the Luftwaffe alone to attack the Allied forces until German infantry was able to advance, giving the British a window for the evacuation. Later, many of the evacuated troops would form an important part and the center of the army that landed at Normandy on D-Day. The British rejected several covert German attempts to negotiate a peace. Germany massed their air force in northern German-occupied France to prepare the way for a possible invasion, codenamed Operation Seelöwe (Sea Lion), deeming that air superiority was essential for the invasion. The operations of the Luftwaffe against the Royal Air Force became known as the Battle of Britain. Initially the Luftwaffe concentrated on destroying the R.A.F. on the ground and in the air. They later switched to bombing major and large industrial British cities in the Blitz, in an attempt to draw R.A.F. fighters out and defeat them completely. Neither approach was successful in reducing the R.A.F. to the point where air superiority could be obtained, and plans for an invasion were suspended by September 1940. During the Blitz, all of Britain's major industrial, cathderal, and political cites were heavily bombed. London suffered particularly, being bombed each night for several months. Other targets included Birmingham and Coventry, and strategically important cities, such as the naval base at Plymouth and the port of Kingston upon Hull. With no land forces in direct conflict in Europe, the war in the air attracted worldwide attention even as sea units fought the Battle of the Atlantic and a number of British ilian boats were used to ferry troops from the beaches to the waiting warships. There is much debate over whether German Panzer divisions could have defeated these soldiers alone if they had pressed forward, since the tank divisions were commando raids hit targets in occupied Europe. Churchill famously said of the R.A.F. personnel who fought in the battle: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few
