Our dogs are wearing their poppies with pride in recognition of Remembrance Sunday ❤️ We will remember them. Purple poppies are worn in honour of the animals who lost their lives during wartime. Featured in the photos are Bigbury, Baloo, Cooper, and Ike.

Fantastic to see so many Falklands veterans parading today for Remembrance Sunday. We remain hugely grateful to all Falklands veterans for their service and sacrifice during the liberation of our Islands in 1982. 🇫🇰🇬🇧

An angled close-up shows the black marble gravestone of the Grave of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey, scattered with individual paper red poppies. Gold-inlaid capital letters on the polished black surface read in part, "... RESTS THE BODY / ... BRITISH WARRIOR / ... UNKNOWN BY NAME OR RANK / ... OUGHT FROM FRANCE TO LIE AMONG / ... MOST ILLUSTRIOUS OF THE LAND / ... BURIED HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY / ... NOV: 1920, IN THE PRESENCE OF / ... HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V / ... HIS MINISTERS OF STATE / ... THE CHIEFS OF HIS / ... AND A VAST CONCOURSE..." In the foreground at the bottom left, a dense cluster of bright red paper poppies is partially visible.

In 1938, a little kitten named Curly Tail was old enough to get a job. He went to work catching mice at a shoemaker's shop, and his brother went to work for the postmaster. Their third sibling got to stay home on the farm. From the film Three Little Kittens (1938).

His mom asked for just ONE police car to drive by for his 6th birthday. Columbus Police apparently didn't understand the word “one.” Little Logan absolutely loves police officers, so his mom hoped a simple birthday visit might make his day. Instead, officers showed up with police cruisers, flashing lights, mounted officers, and even a therapy dog! And there was Logan, standing proudly in his little police uniform, smiling from ear to ear. The look on his face says everything. Some kids dream of meeting their heroes. On his 6th birthday, his heroes came to him. And that's the kind of kindness a child remembers forever.

I know Russell Brand wasn’t found guilty of all charges but MY GOD the women who gave evidence were amazing. They wouldn’t be shamed or bullied. Something really snapped in them. I heard it. So many women who never got justice are standing and cheering for you today. ❤️

This is well worth watching in full: @TimesRadio int with the excellent @RosamundUrwin who’s been investigating Brand since 2019. Here she is on the aggressive questioning of Brand’s victims by his defence barrister Ian “you’ve f*cked it” Winter KC… (Full 20mins 👉🏼: youtu.be/zmQpaoyzGfM?is=y5y8…)

New arrivals at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary. This is a heartbreaking story. This is Jasper and Tabitha. They are around 12 years old and are desperately looking for a quiet home together. They have come to Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary as their elderly owner has had to go into a care home due to worsening dementia and sadly there is no family to care for them. They are such a sweet pair that simply need a loving quiet retirement home. If you feel you are the right fit for them and are ready to adopt please complete the pre adoption enquiry form by clicking the link below and quoting Jasper and Tabitha. bcwr-kittens.co.uk/adoption-…

One of the most famous addresses in the world, 10 Downing Street in London, is home not just to prime ministers, but also to a 19-year-old tabby cat named Larry. @HollyMAWilliams looks at how the official pet of the British leader’s residence and Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office has become a favorite to the press — and a political fixture whose nine lives have so far outlasted five prime ministers.
