A proud moment. Delighted to retain my title as Nations and Regions Journalist of the Year at the @Headlinemoney_ awards! Thank you to my great friend and colleague Chris Burn (who was also shortlisted) for picking up the trophy. @yorkshirepost @JayMitchinson 1)

Windsor is one of the nicest places and when I walked out of my hotel to cross the road to the castle there were six homeless people. The castle was 30 yards away. We just have to keep going to try to make whatever difference we can.

Huge crowds surging through the streets of London, waving Union Jacks and cheering. An incredible film of the Armistice celebrations on 11th November 1918.

'One minute after the hour. All guns silent.'
At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. This document from IWM's collections visualises the silence, showing artillery activity for one minute before and one minute after the Armistice.

Happy Veterans' Day to all and to Paul Priest, 100, the last known living survivor of the Battle of Remagen, subject of my next book, The Last Bridge.

The driver who got his train to make an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon that allowed police to stop the knife attacker and others to escape had just ten seconds to contact a signaller and switch tracks. Don’t you dare say train drivers ‘just push buttons.’ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm5y…

Tonight, I am the proudest Head in the country. After school today, a man collapsed at a train station. Adults stood by. Our students didn't. One rang 999 and, using first aid she'd learned in LIFE lessons, put him in the recovery position until paramedics took over. 🧵1/2

Brilliant actress. I remember her superb performance in Eden End at West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2001.
Remembering the wonderful English actress and singer Diana Coupland (Betty Diana) who died on this day in 2006. Bestbknown for playing Jean Abbot in Bless This House, she was 78. #DianaCoupland #BlessThisHouse #PortAndSpringWine #CharlieBubbles #TheFamilyWay #Redcap

Even stranger, she was the singing voice for Ursula Andress in Dr. No (as she was married to Monty Norman at the time). Yes Jean Abbott sang Underneath The Mango Tree not Honeychile Rider!

Found ourselves, briefly, on the Northumberland coast the other day. This was a moment: the stark and beautiful ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Begun in 1313, later updated by John of Gaunt.
