Throughout the day, Norwegian TV has been speaking to people about King Harald and one word is said over and over again - fantastic. It's clear that King Harald means a huge amount to many in Norway. People today have spoken of his kindness, his wisdom and his devotion to duty. His motto is Alt for Norge, All for Norway. Now, his country waits for news of the king who has reigned since 1991 as his health worsens.

A Gaudí siempre le preguntaban cuando acabarían lss obras, y el siempre respondía que su cliente no tiene prisa. Para Antoni Gaudí, que murió tal día como hoy, hace 100 años, ingresado en un hospicio porque lo tomaron por un mendigo tras ser atropellado por un tranvía, habría sido un sueño saber que el Papa, los Reyes de España, el presidente del Gobierno y de la Generalitat, el alcalde de Barcelona y una larga lista de autoridades estarían, un siglo después, rindiéndole homenaje y mirando al cielo para ver cómo se iluminaba la torre de la iglesia más alta del mundo. La epopeya de la Sagrada Familia, 144 años en construcción, y que aún no ha acabado, ha tenido uno de sus días para la historia con la solemne ceremonia religiosa que ha culminado con la bendición del Papa a la Torre de Jesucristo. Otro momento que hará que la imagen de Barcelona dé la vuelta mundo, con 9.000 personas dentro del templo y 130.000 en el exterior Y lo de los drones eso ya no se como expresarlo, mejor verlo.

FIRST LOOK👀 at what the new Cape Winelands Airport is going to look like, and can I say, WOW! Growthpoint, the largest listed landlord in South Africa, has officially committed to supporting this project. They will co-invest to develop the Cape Winelands Airport precinct. This airport is privately owned and situated on an existing airfield in Fisantekraal. It is expected to generate 35,000 direct and indirect jobs. The project involves an anticipated initial investment of around R8 billion in Cape Town, covering the terminal buildings, runway, and a 450-hectare developable estate. Growthpoint will manage the logistics, commercial, and hospitality developments - excluding the airport terminal buildings. They also hold the right of first refusal to co-invest in future developments. Construction of the Cape Winelands Airport might begin in early 2026, subject to approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment. The airport aims to be operational by 2028 and is projected to handle over five million passengers annually by 2050.

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.   Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

Civilian supersonic flight returns... Tuesday. Having worked toward this moment for over a decade, this feels surreal. A few reflections 🧵?

Maggie Smith has died. What a great privilege it was to work with her & play a small part in her creation of Violet Countess of Grantham A titan of the filmocracy, Maggie embodied the aristocracy with absolute ease: she made us gasp, shudder and laugh. She was #TheBestOfThem
