Lillia, from Bolton, Greater Manchester has been missing for six days

The tearful mother of a 13-year-old girl who has been missing for six days has made an emotional appeal for her safe return.

Lillia, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, was last seen at 1.50pm on Saturday at the Trafford Centre shopping complex – where she boarded the 247 bus towards Altrincham.

Greater Manchester Police said it is unclear how long she stayed on the bus or where she got off.

Lillia was wearing a black zip-up hooded top, light blue baggy jeans and a black Nike backpack.

She is described as white, slim, around 5ft 5in, and has light brown hair and wears glasses.

In a direct appeal to Lillia read on her behalf, her mother Jessica said: “Lill, I love you so so much.

“My heart is breaking without you here. I need to know you are safe. We all you need back home safe and well.”

Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley, of Greater Manchester, said officers have carried out “extensive inquiries” since Lillia was reported missing on Friday and “continue to work tirelessly to find her”.

The last confirmed sighting forms an important part of the investigation, she said.

The district commander for Bolton said: “We are asking for anyone who was on the bus and remembers seeing Lillia to get in touch.

“We are also keen to hear from anyone who has CCTV or Ring/Doorbell footage that could be relevant to the investigation, or people who have had any contact or conversations with Lillia to contact us since she has been reported missing.

“Lillia, if you see this appeal please know your family love you, miss you and just want to know you are safe.

“You are not in any trouble. They simply want you to come home.”

The late Queen dramatically offered to restore Princess Diana‘s royal title on the day of her funeral, a bombshell book claims.

Earl Spencer describes in his explosive memoir – being exclusively serialised by the Daily Mail – how Queen Elizabeth proposed handing back his sister’s Her Royal Highness title, which she controversially lost when she divorced Prince Charles.

The earl was told of the extraordinary offer by Robert Fellowes, the Queen’s Private Secretary and his brother-in-law, as they travelled by Royal Train to Diana’s private burial at Althorp, the Spencer family’s 13,000-acre estate in Northamptonshire.

Writing in Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, the earl, 62, said Diana was ‘dreadfully hurt’ by the ‘petty and vindictive’ removal of her HRH title a year earlier and that despite the Queen’s ‘well-meaning’ gesture, he decided to reject the ‘consolation prize’.

‘I felt that I knew in my bones how she would view this posthumous award,’ he writes. ‘That’s very kind of the Queen, of course. But what’s the point, Robert? Now? I mean – Diana’s dead.’

The revelation comes as the Mail today publishes its first astonishing extract from Charles Spencer‘s devastating memoir.

The book has sent shockwaves through the Royal Family. Earl Spencer’s incendiary claim that – days after Diana’s death in a car crash – Prince Charles said: ‘Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough’, triggered a war of words yesterday.

The earl’s description of Charles’s alleged outburst prompted an extraordinary statement from the Palace, with royal aides questioning the veracity of his account and suggesting that grief can ‘cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory’.

The response echoed Queen Elizabeth’s famous ‘recollections may vary’ retort to Harry and Meghan after their interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

Royal commentators said the strength of the intervention showed the King was ‘absolutely incandescent’ with Earl Spencer. In today’s extract, the earl claims:

• Diana told her father she could not go through with the marriage to Prince Charles a month before the wedding – but he told her it was ‘impossible to pull out’;
• The day before the wedding Charles told Diana that while he was happy to marry her, he was not in love with her;
• Diana was so unhappy that she considered suicide and drove herself ‘more than once’ to Beachy Head cliffs in East Sussex;
• Charles sounded ‘giddily elated – like a lottery winner’ shortly after Diana’s death.

Announcing the book last month, Earl Spencer said that, ahead of the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death next year, he wanted to write down his own thoughts and memories ‘rather than having the discomfort of again reading the opinions of others’.

The Mail has learnt that Prince Harry was aware of his uncle’s memoir but has not read it and was not briefed on its explosive contents, despite staying at Althorp this summer.

Diana lost her HRH title after her divorce in August 1996 and was instead styled Diana, Princess of Wales.

Describing the Queen’s offer, made just hours after he delivered his defiant eulogy at Diana’s funeral, Earl Spencer writes: ‘When we had gone some miles, Robert beckoned me to follow him into a quiet corner of the carriage. 

‘I have just received a call from Her Majesty …and she would like to offer Diana her HRH title back.’ Mr Fellowes died in 2024.

The earl later wondered whether he was right to reject the offer, and that ‘maybe Diana would have seen some point in having HRH carved on her tombstone’.

But he said he ‘had no doubt that the consolation prize was hollow, however well-meaning the Queen’s gesture’, adding: ‘The title should never have been removed during her life, in which case it would not have been necessary to offer it to her in death.’

The memoir provides, for the first time, Earl Spencer’s insight into his sister’s deeply unhappy 15-year marriage and the then Prince of Wales’s love for her rival Camilla.

He recalls that on the day of Diana’s magnificent wedding in July 1981, he visited her at Clarence House where he found her ‘sitting quietly in front of a mirror’.

‘Only much later would I discover that, as she confided to a close friend, her husband-to-be had told her the previous day that she needed to know that he was very happy to marry her, but he was not actually in love with her,’ he writes.

Royal watchers were stunned by the Palace’s highly unusual response to Earl Spencer’s book.

In the statement, released on Wednesday night, it said: ‘While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.’

One royal aide later described the earl’s account to the BBC as a ‘demonstrably untrue claim’ about a deeply compassionate man.

Julian Payne, the King’s former communications secretary, yesterday said the King had told staff never to criticise Diana for years after her death.

Mr Payne, who worked for the then Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall for five years from 2016, including during the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death in 2017, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘He was absolutely emphatic that we were to respect her memory and not undermine it in any way.’

The Palace declined to comment on the earl’s further claims last night.

A Belfast mum has spoken of her frustration and concern as her nine-year-old son has been left without a school place after being told his current one is no longer suitable.

Parker McGreevy, 9, has a number of additional needs but had been attending a primary school up until the end of last term. A SEN provision had been made available to him at the school but he struggled when there was an increase in the number of other children who began attending it.

His mum Louise McCrory says that at the end of the last school term a meeting was held where it was deemed that Parker would develop better at a dedicated special school and his SEN statement was updated to reflect this.

Parker then left his previous school after Louise was told it did not have the resources to meet his needs, and she believed he would get a new place based on the meetings that had taken place. However, three weeks into the new school year Parker is still without a place in school – with Louise claiming the Education Authority (EA) has told her there are no places available for him.

Parker made headlines a few years ago after he defied a tough start in life where he suffered multiple strokes shortly after his birth. The young boy has since been diagnosed with autism, epilepsy and is awaiting an ADHD assessment.

Speaking to Belfast Live, she said: “Parker had been going to a school in West Belfast since nursery and it had been very good at doing what it can to support him. He has had a statement of special educational needs throughout his time in school and had been in his own unit where he was doing very well.

“Last year things got a bit more challenging for Parker and as other children joined the SEN unit he found it difficult and his behaviour became harder to manage.

“At the end of last term there was a meeting and it was decided that Parker would do better in a dedicated SEN school and his statement was updated to say so. We agreed that it would be better for his development and I was led to believe that as he would no longer be attending his previous school there would be a place lined up for him. But it turns out there wasn’t.

“The EA has said Parker still has a place at his old school, but I have emails saying that it does not have the resources to meet his needs so he is stuck in limbo at home. We have been told there is only one school that would be suitable for him but there are no places there.

“After the meetings that we had at the end of last term it is disappointing that the new school year has started and Parker doesn’t have a school he can go to.”

An EA spokesperson said: “EA has repeatedly highlighted the urgent need for significant investment to increase special school capacity and expand specialist provision in mainstream schools. We fully recognise the family’s concerns and understand how important it is that their child receives the right support at the start of the school year.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca spoke about Brazilian winger Allan after he got a goal and an assist on debut

Enzo Maresca thinks that Brazilian winger Allan will be better after discovering what English football is about in the Carabao Cup win over Norwich. The 22-year-old summer signing endured a tough start, repeatedly being outmuscled by Norwich defender Darlin Yongwa in the first 20 minutes.

However, he shrugged that off to set up fellow debutant Floyd Samba for the opening goal and followed that up with a confident run and finish after the break to score his first goal. Sporting director Hugo Viana has already warned that Allan will take some time to settle at the club, and Maresca has more experienced options in Antoine Semenyo, Jeremy Doku, Iliman Ndiaye, Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden.

But the Manchester City coach was still happy with what he got from the player on his first appearance – and the fans have already given him his own song. “It was a good performance. It was not easy for him, first time 90 minutes, first minutes here at home so it’s always complicated,” said Maresca.

“It was important for him to play 90 minutes and to see a little bit the English competition that is a bit different from South America so overall was good. He scored a goal, one assist, so I think he’s happy.

“We have different competitions. We have many games and we are just at the beginning of the season. The ones that play tonight are going to play Premier League or Champions League games because the season is long. We have him, Jeremy Doku is close to being back, Antoine, Ili, Ryan McAidoo. We have different kinds of wingers and hopefully we can use all of them.”

Wendy Sobeck said she and her husband were at their rural home, just minutes from the crash site, when they heard a “very loud crash” down the road.

“We thought there was a car accident outside our house,” she said. “We saw big billowing black smoke. We couldn’t tell what it was, so my husband got into his pickup truck and saw what happened.”

She said they could see debris from the aircraft in the field, adding: “Explosions kept happening.”

Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council jointly approved the scheme

A proposal to expand a new housing development by thousands of homes has been given the green light. The University of Cambridge applied for up to 3,800 homes to be added to the Eddington development, which was built over the last decade.

Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council’s joint development management committee met to discuss the next phase of the plans for the area between Huntingdon Road, Madingley Road and the M11.

A representative of the Storey’s Way Residents Association said the scheme would have a density “about three times that of Cambridge City”.

He said: “We’re also not confident that the infrastructure will cope with this level of development. There should always be sufficient essential services for the residents of Eddington and the surrounding areas, but this has not been the case so far.

“An 11-year-old boy, a resident of Storey’s Way, came to leave the primary school in Eddington last year and the only secondary schools available to him to apply to were in Bottisham, nine miles away, and St Ives, 14 miles away. This seems to be absurd.”

Matt Johnson, speaking on behalf of the university, said that 50 per cent of the new homes would be affordable housing for key workers at the university.

He said: “For many of the people the university needs to recruit, finding a suitable and affordable home in Cambridge is a significant barrier. Addressing that challenge is essential to the university’s continued success and, in turn, to Cambridge’s wider economy.”

The plans also include accommodation for up to 1,675 students, bringing the total amount of student accommodation in Eddington to 2,000 homes. Over a third of the development will be kept as green and open space and the plans include new community facilities and pedestrian and cycle connections.

A total of 3,000 homes were approved in 2013 with 1,848 of these built during the first phase of the development. The 3,800 proposed in the latest phase would take the total number of homes in Eddington to 5,648 – an increase of 2,648 from what was originally approved.

Cllr Anna Bradnam, vice chair of the joint committee, said: “That looks like quite a startling uplift at first sight.”

But the Lib Dem councillor said the government’s recent changes to planning policy, and recognition that “substantial housing growth is necessary to sustain Cambridge’s economic success”, creates a presumption in “favour of sustainable development”.

She said: “Indeed that includes maximising dwelling numbers in specific areas”.

Cllr Bradnam said she felt the application was “managed very thoughtfully” and said she would support the plans.

The outline planning application was approved by the joint committee, with detailed proposals for each part of the development still to be decided. Professor Anna Philpott, pro-vice chancellor for resources and operations at the University of Cambridge said she was “delighted” with the decision.

She said: “Eddington has already demonstrated how sustainable, well-planned development can create a thriving and inclusive community. These future phases will build on that success, delivering much-needed homes for University staff and students, alongside employment space, community facilities and green spaces that will benefit the whole city.”

The university said they expect detailed proposals to be brought forward from early 2027.

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s office has revoked an award given to a Muslim cleric on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 due to Osama bin Laden comments.

Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi was given The Hubert Walter Award on Friday by Dame Sarah Mullally for reconciliation and interfaith co-operation.

However, in 2007, when serving as head of the Pakistan Ulema Council group of Islamic clerics and scholars, he had said Bin Laden should be given the title Saifullah.

This means ‘Sword of God’, which he said would be for ‘serving Muslims by waging jihad against infidelsserving Muslims by waging jihad against infidels’.

Ashrafi was pictured at Lambeth Palace, the Archbishop’s London home, as he was recognised ‘for his outstanding work as an ambassador of interfaith harmony in Pakistan.’

However, the National Secular Society (NSS) criticised the award after previous comments about Osama bin Laden resurfaced.

The society called it ‘obscene, and almost beyond parody’, especially on such an important anniversary of the World Trade Center tragedy.

The terror attacks in New York in 2001 killed almost 3,000 people, including 87 British citizens, when Al Qaida flew two planes into the Twin Towers.

‘Previous comments made by Imam Ashrafi have come to light that have led Lambeth Palace to reconsider this award and we can now confirm today that the award has been withdrawn,’ Lambeth Palace stated.

At the time of the award, the palace had said: ‘It is a longstanding principle of interfaith dialogue and co-operation that we must engage with one another across deeply-held differences, and that remains the case.’

A representative for Ashrafi has since said the remarks were taken out of context and he had originally said them at a protest against Salman Rushdie’s knighthood.

He explained to the Press Association that he was ‘giving an example’ to show the scale of the offence caused to Muslims by the Satanic Verses author receiving that honour.

His spokesperson said: ‘Regarding Osama bin Laden, Ashrafi’s remarks have been presented without their proper context. His comparison was not an endorsement of bin Laden; it was made in the context of explaining the hurt felt by many Muslims over the British honour given to Salman Rushdie.

‘His longstanding record against terrorism and violent extremism should be considered when assessing such remarks.’

No title was ever given to Osama bin Laden, who was killed on May 2, 2011, during a US military operation.

Ashrafi’s spokesperson added that criticism was aimed at his wife and daughter, who wear traditional religious attire.

He said: ‘The decision of Ashrafi’s wife and daughter to observe hijab is their personal and religious right. Ashrafi also dedicated his recent Hubert Walter Award to his wife, acknowledging her support and contribution throughout his work.’

The NSS executive Stephen Evans said: ‘We welcome the withdrawal of this award, but it is astonishing that it was given in the first place – on the anniversary of 9/11, no less.

‘This episode reveals not only appallingly poor judgement and inadequate due diligence, but a dangerous naivety about the religious figures legitimised through interfaith engagement.

‘A Church capable of such a serious failure of judgement should not enjoy constitutional privilege, including 26 bishops making our laws. It is time the Church of England was disestablished.’

Ashrafi was awarded alongside 26 other individuals who had made ‘extraordinary contributions to the Church of England, the Anglican Communion and wider society’.
