Q. What are the colours of the rainbow?

rainbow_small.jpgSchools Secretary and cabinet minister Ed Balls, obviously doesn’t know, as the BBC reports HERE, when he incorrectly described the colours of a rainbow that adorned the cover of a report from his department.

The correct colours are listed in the mnemonic ‘Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain‘, which gives the colours in their correct order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

This is just an excuse for me to post my picture of a rainbow that I took from our house last year, in between the many, many rain showers.
