Rest in peace Diogo Jota

Felt totally numb today. The tragic news about Diogo Jota and his brother, both taken far too young, has hit me so hard for someone I didn't know personally. May they both rest in peace.

If this international break is an exercise in lowering expectations ahead of the World Cup, England are passing it with flying colours 😬 #ENGSEN

The year is 2046. 61-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 270th international goal on his 430th cap to put Portugal ahead in their World Cup opener against Egypt, after England were held to a 0-0 draw by debutants Sri Lanka in the other game in the group!

First time producing an outside broadcast - on a wet and windy morning in Northampton that was more like October than June! 👀 Photo taken just before the monitor nearly blew away! 😂

As first reported by the ECHO, now confirmed that the driver of the car that crashed into the LFC parade fans yesterday followed an ambulance on to Water Street

The ambulance had been allowed through the road block to attend to a man having a heart attack

Thank you Lloret de Mar for your hospitality. Always wanted to come here as mum and dad used to come here before I was born. Just the break I needed after a very intense third year at uni. Back to Blighty tomorrow and back to work Thursday. We go again 🙌

Bit of a delayed response from Sky over the box keep randomly turning itself off the other night.

Their technical advice:

Turn it off, turn it back on again! 😆
