Flavour Physics at LHCb -- 50 years of the KM paradigm

Abstract: The LHCb experiment is in operation since 2009 and has provided measurements of the KM matrix with unprecedented precision. 50 years after the original paper we are in the position of pinning down the parameters of the theory, or possibly to show its limitations. In these proceedings the status of LHCb is shown in a historical perspective, along with some anecdotes.
