Remembering the Aberfan disaster 60 years ago today, especially all the little children who lost their lives and people who died trying to shield them.
Imagine kissing your child for the last time as you wave them through the school gates.
Horrendous.

Who is funding their public engagement today in Nottingham?
This is doing nothing for the popularity of @RoyalFamily and undermining our future monarch

James??!!! Noooo! @JamesBlunt
@BBCTheTraitors
Dear God no!!!
That would only result in a tirade of more bloody miserable songs.
No good will come of it.
(Plus, I’m with Miranda @mermhart re his military execution of tasks).

Stalwart David Essex concert goers know that there is a certain point when you just barge to the front of the stage!

I honestly think the BBC are now trying to break Strictly. Like everything that used to be so great it's now rapidly declining .
The 3 presenters do not work AT ALL , like all 3s , there's always one who looks a bit spare....and the dancer guy over hamming it massively whilst the shorter guy who is apparently a comedian is a stiff as a board.
And why do they ALWAYS have to have a same sex couple these days?! Like what's that about? It never works . Ball room is for a man and a woman . If you're gay this doesn't change.
So what's the point... other than woke to show it's ugly face again
As I said, the devils in the shadows have obviously thought Strictly too fabulous , western and aspirational and it's time to absolutely trash it
God I miss Brucey
Like everything, Saturday night tv once used to be SO good in the 70-90s
I miss the double entendres and cheeky tongue in cheek humour that we used to have on British tv
Now it's all forced and so awkward and everyone double checking what they say for fear of saying something that's no longer allowed / so that free off the cuff spirit and imaginative play on words and banter has gone .
Just because he was on @BBCTheOneShow , my husband has bought me tickets to see @JamesBlunt in Cardiff.
Dear God.
To add insult to injury, they’re 2nd row centre stage.
I’ll have neck ache all bloody night listening to those miserable songs. #JamesBlunt #AirPlaneMode

I wonder how an author feels after months of researching, writing and revising their book, only to have it devoured in a matter of days?
Reread next; I may have missed something!☺️

How special must this have been for those who happened to be in the room that night ❤️#DollyParton #RIP
An amazing video of Dolly Parton singing one of her most famous songs in Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry Co. Kerry 🇮🇪 in 1990
How did Páidí pull that coup off

I have the fresh fruit offer active on my sparks. Bought these yesterday, £4 each, scanned my sparks, no rewards logged. This happened with a £100 shop offer which I activated.
Much preferred the old sparks rewards system which gave % directly to the consumer. @marksandspencer – at Cefn-Coed-y-Cymmer, Wales
Abhorrent.
All for a game of golf.
Why on earth would you even consider bringing your dogs out in a heatwave. Prosecute, heavily fine and ban for life from keeping any type of animal.

@RSPCA_official
Two beautiful Red Setters were left shut in a hot car on Saturday the hottest day of the heatwave while their owners went and played golf.
They died in there.
According to reports, police said they’d issue a statement… and then went quiet. Now people are worried nothing will happen.
Let that sink in.
Two living, breathing dogs probably trusting their humans right up until the end suffered and died because someone decided a round of golf mattered more than their lives.
We all know how fast a car turns into an oven in July. We’ve all seen the warnings. There is no excuse.
These weren’t “mistakes.” This was a choice.
If the police and RSPCA don’t follow through with proper action here, what message does that send? That our dogs’ lives are disposable when it’s inconvenient for us?
I’m angry. I’m heartbroken for those dogs. And I’m tired of seeing this happen every summer with barely a slap on the wrist.
Some people shouldn’t own a budgie, let alone dogs.
What sort of moron leaves two animals locked in a car on one of the hottest days of the year? Those poor dogs didn’t just die they suffered and baked to death.
It’s cruel, it’s utterly irresponsible, and there is simply no excuse for it.
What do you think should happen to the owners?
I certainly think there should be servers consequences including imprisonment.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The incident involved four Irish Setters on July 4 2025 in Colney Heath Hertfordshire. Three died and one survived. Owner Sarah Sharkey pleaded guilty and received a 12-month community order with 100 hours unpaid work.

This beautiful little European Goldfinch just knocked himself out on my window.
Lifted him to a chair and kept an eye on him for recovery and predators.
Thankfully recovered quickly and flew away.
I felt quite emotional picking up such a tiny vulnerable creature.
