If I’ve watched a better game of football, I’m struggling to remember it. God knows how PSG and Bayern supporters are coping with this one.

Very sad news. Peter’s passing is a significant loss for the areas of Welsh history and culture - having made a huge contribution to both.

We are saddened to hear of the death of Peter Stead, modern historian, author, and editor of a number of important books on Wales in the twentieth century.

Very much looking forward to this. Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dylan Thomas - a great combination I’m reading the memoir of Anthony Hopkins at the moment - another wave on the incredible flow of virtuoso actors that have come from the small town of Port Talbot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Wales Air Ambulance Charity is 25 years old today. A legecy that spans over 56,000 missions and is built on the shoulders of every person who has supported, volunteered, or worked for the service. Thank you to you all. I’m immensely proud to be making a small contribution to its evolution.
