Aug. 13, 1963 - Halo Over Beer Causes Row. Angel Like Christine Keeler: When a new sign appeared over a public house in Braintree, Essex, it sparked off a row. The pub is called ''The Angel'', and the sign depicts an angel holding a pint of beer, over the top of which is a halo. The vicar of Braintree, the Rev. F.C. Trundley was called the sign ''disgraceful'', and asked for the sign to be removed on the grounds that it is irreverent, but both the publican and the brewery have said that they have no intention of removing it. People have also likened the angel to Christine Keeler. Photo shows The sign that caused the trouble - ''The Angel' (Credit Image: © Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com)
