Hi MoD, I was in two minds about leaving in "particularly successful day" when I did my pre-TFA copyedit; FWIW the source does couch it in these terms so it wasn't editorialising, but I can live without it if you think it doesn't really belong. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:22, 6 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I hesitated before removing it. It wasn't doing any harm as such, but I thought it read cleaner without. --MarchOrDie (talk) 16:02, 6 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
