We lost my darling grandad on 26th July. Today his beloved football club, Faversham Town FC, said goodbye to their president in a really special way. I felt very proud to be his granddaughter and to see what he meant to so many people.

Petition for the next Bond film to be set in the 1960s: we don’t need another modern action film, Bond died in the last one so it’s a good time for a reset, and the most popular Bond film in recent times was Casino Royale which really leaned into the nostalgia of old Bond
