Leeds is one of those cities which is always underestimated and overlooked and I think now is the time to open our doors and not just welcome Ukraine to our city, but the world too." "Sheffield can put on a fantastic show. "I think it would be fantastic, simply because Sheffield is a musical city. "We watched it as a family this year and it's just a happy vibe," she said. We've always been known for music," he said. "It's different music and it's memories as well.

The ancient design, which represents the universe, is part of Knowsley's year of culture celebrations.

"Land art shows people the realms of what art can be, and the joy of creating work using materials you can find in any green space," he said. He said he wanted the temporary work to inspire people and leave a legacy. A huge mandala has been carved into parkland to show people "the realms of what art can be", its creator has said.

King George IV was ridiculed for wearing a kilt too short and sheer pink silk tights during his visit to Edinburgh 200 years ago.

Mr Melvin said: "An army of workmen was engaged to clean the streets and to knock down ruinous buildings. Where the moving mass from all corners of the land are to stow themselves when in Edinburgh, we know not. "Four Bow Street Runners were sent to Edinburgh to deal with the flood of London pickpockets expected to come north with the king." You take the responsibility on yourself." The king's enormous royal household was brought by sea, Mr Melvin said. Copies of the advice sold out. The Royal George docked and at midday the king was brought ashore to a "tumultuous" welcome. "In anticipation, six cannon were hauled to the top of the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth and a 45ft flagpole was erected to salute the arrival of the royal visitor," Mr Melvin said. "A huge bonfire was built on the top of Arthur's Seat. In addition, Edinburgh braced itself for the influx of thousands of visitors anxious to be part of the celebrations." "This was to be a celebration of Scotland and in particular the Highlands of Scotland," Mr Melvin said. Mr Melvin said: "There was widespread panic at the short notice as this was to be the first visit by a reigning monarch since the short visit of the fugitive Charles II in 1650." The Edinburgh visit in August 1822 was the first visit of a monarch north of the border in 172 years and Scott carefully arranged the extravaganza right down to what people were to wear.

Durham County councillors told a public inquiry that the proposed facility on Consett's Hownsgill Industrial Estate would ruin the town's "vistas". Developer ...

He said: "It is extremely brave for anyone to assert that the waste burner's chimney with a flashing beacon on top would have a trivial effect on our town's many glorious vistas. Councillor Dominic Haney, for Consett South, said it would be a "monster waste burner" and have a "devastating effect" on the nearby North Pennines area of outstanding natural beauty. A proposed incinerator with a huge chimney would be a "monster" on the landscape and only create nine jobs, a public inquiry has heard.

Alex Jones says he was stuck at Gatwick Airport and does not know when he will get his car back.

Go Meet and Greet eventually provided a taxi to take him back to his Coventry home, but Mr Jones said he had "no idea what will happen to my car". A Gatwick Airport spokesperson said: "We are sorry to hear that more of our passengers have had a poor experience with meet and greet parking firms operating from the airport. A man was stranded at Gatwick Airport for more than six hours after a meet and greet company lost his car keys, he says.

Some types of mental health medication may make it difficult for the body to regulate temperature.

"It was like the worst sun stroke I've ever experienced. "In some cases, the body is not able to regulate temperature effectively," he says. It is not known how many people are likely to experience heat-related side-effects. "Given that the medication is for depression and anxiety, I'm now incredibly anxious to go out and socialise in the heat, even to leave the house," she says. "Also [typically] the body has a good way of telling us when we are thirsty, but these medications can diminish that - and they can also lower blood pressure slightly, which can lead to a chance of fainting in the heat." With SSRIs, which are more commonly used to treat depression in the UK, one of the known side effects is excessive sweating and that can be exacerbated during periods of hot weather.

Eric Hall has 28 convictions but his family says he was not well enough to be put on a Home Office plane to Jamaica.

In a statement, the Home Office said: "We are clear that foreign criminals should be deported from the UK wherever it is legal and practical to do so. "Out of the blue we heard Eric was in Kingston," says Errol Brown. "He can't explain to me how he got here. Some have had no choice but to live with elderly relatives, while others struggle to survive on the streets of downtown Kingston, where shootings and gang crime are rife. We've spoken to six other men, all with criminal convictions, who were flown from the UK and now live on different parts of the island. Janet Daby raised a question in parliament on the day Eric was deported and supports all of the family's claims. Given the severity of his mental health condition his family say he is unable to legally represent himself. They told us they receive funding from the Home Office but did not want to be interviewed. His family says if he was sent a letter by the Home Office about his deportation he would not have understood its significance. They say he didn't recognise his stepfather in Jamaica's capital, Kingston, and had no memory of how he got there. Eric was taken to a detention centre where, his lawyers and family say, his mental state deteriorated considerably. In 2018, many adult children of post-war Caribbean migrants, despite having lived and worked in the UK for decades, were told they no longer had the right to stay. They believe he has only ever been a danger to himself, rather than wider society - and that he continues to be seriously vulnerable.

Birdwatchers at a reservoir say it is the first time the bird has been spotted in the UK.

The British Bird Rarities Committee, one of two organisations which will verify the identification, said it was "one of the more amazing records to reach Britain". Gary Allport from Birdlife International said it was "amazing" to see the gull, which is normally a "coastal species". Birdwatchers at a reservoir have said it was "extraordinary" to see a rare gull in Britain for the first time.
