Bowie, who was recently made an MBE for services to radio and charity in the west of Scotland, said: “The Commonwealth Games returning to Glasgow deserves a special kind of star power, so it was an honour to share a few tips with Scotland’s own global superstar, Sam Heughan, and help get him ready for the occasion.

Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to find the back of the net in Portugal’s 1-1 draw with DR Congo in the World Cup earlier this week, but Michael Owen has defended the former Manchester United forward

Michael Owen has come to Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s defence following the forward’s display in Portugal’s World Cup opener. Ronaldo failed to get on the scoresheet as his side were held to a 1-1 draw with DR Congo earlier this week.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Joao Neves broke the deadlock for Portugal on Wednesday before Newcastle striker Yoane Wissa levelled things up before half-time.

Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes of the Group K encounter, and the 41-year-old will be eager to help steer his nation to three points in their next outing against Uzbekistan on Tuesday evening.

The Al Nassr star’s display has sparked considerable debate, particularly after Lionel Messi netted a hat-trick for Argentina 24 hours earlier in their 3-0 victory over Algeria.

Now, Owen has stepped in to defend Ronaldo and outlined what Portugal must do to unlock the best from the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, alongside a prediction for the country’s upcoming clash with Uzbekistan.

“It did not help Cristiano Ronaldo that Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick the night before Portugal played, but I’m not having the criticism of him.,” Owen stated in the Daily Mail.

“Portugal weren’t great in their 1-1 draw with DR Congo and a lot of the fallout has been around Ronaldo and him being a problem for them.

“But hasn’t he always played like this, to a degree? He has never been a player, especially in recent years, who involves himself in the game. He will be there for the big moments, though. If he’s not scoring, it’s too easy to blame Ronaldo. At 41, he is going to be questioned.

“But how many times has this happened and he’s shut everyone up in the next game? If you’re picking Ronaldo then you have to accept what he is there for – and I wouldn’t be surprised if he responds with a hat-trick of his own against Uzbekistan.”

Following the stalemate with DR Congo, Ronaldo took to social media to deliver a pointed message to Portugal supporters ahead of the rest of their World Cup campaign.

“Not the start we wanted, but this is far from over,” Ronaldo posted on Instagram earlier this week. “Head up and focus on the next game.”

After facing Uzbekistan, Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates will then take on Colombia on Saturday night in their concluding World Cup group stage match.

Another visitor said it was “a well-located hotel in a fabulous area”, praising the “friendly, welcoming staff”, “comfortable, very clean rooms” and “excellent meals”.

The Lister Arms is popular with walkers visiting the area, with many guests using it as a base for trips to Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss and Gordale Scar.

Food is also frequently mentioned in reviews.

The inn’s dog-friendly approach has also been highlighted by guests.

One reviewer said: “I have never known such a dog-friendly place.”

Another reviewer said the barn had a “brilliant lounge area with fire and drinks station”.

TRNSMT came to an end at Glasgow Green for 2026 with headliner Lewis Capaldi taking to the stage.

Lewis Capaldi was met by cheers and rapturous applause as he closed the final day of TRNSMT 2026 with his emotive set and powerful vocals and turned the festival into a giant singalong.

The singer even issued a cheeky Father’s Day message before joking he was about to make everyone feel miserable with his songs. He said: “Happy Father’s Day to those with fathers and if you don’t have a father, I’ll be your daddy.”

The Scots singing star spoke after entering the stage to his song Hollywood swiftly followed by a powerful rendition of Grace.

His vocals were stronger than ever as he followed up with songs including Forever and arms were raised and waved in the air as he sang anthem Bruises followed by Pointless.

Lewis reminisced about his appearances at previous TRNSMT festivals saying he was there performing for the fifth time. Asking if everyone was ok and reassuring everyone he was too, he said: “Right. I’m having a good time. Is everyone having a good time?

“Thanks for that. Hey, man. I know this is the fifth time I’ve played TRNSMT, fifth time at this festival. 2017, we played over in the King Tut’s stage. I think I had one song out at the time, maybe two. I was quite busy. It was nice. We were on the come up. It was good.

“In 2018, I opened up the main stage for the first time. It was fucking empty. I thought, ‘f***, this has gone tits up. This is not going well.’ 2019, Snow Patrol were playing. But they couldn’t play so we stepped in, and we were second to last, and we stepped on here.

“And 2022, yeah, we headlined it for the first time as I mentioned. This evening, in front of you I’m back. Thank you very much for sticking with me all this time. Thank you TRNSMT for the money over the years. It’s been nice.

“It still holds a special place because you know, we’ve done f***ing so many things here from the start we belong here. About almost 10 years later, the festival holds a special place, genuinely, and they shine the light on an incredible thing, the stars of tomorrow.“

Lewis also gave a special shout out to fellow West Lothian local Susan Boyle who was watching him at the side of the stage.

He said: “Susan Boyle’s standing there – big shout out to Susan Boyle. I love Susan Boyle we’re from the same town. I’ll never be the most famous person from there.”

And the singer touched on his mental health and his big comeback following a break saying: “At the start of the set I mentioned I took a break for my mental health in case I wasn’t feeling so great. I am feeling better.

“When I first took that break there was a time I never thought I’d be here. To be here is really special and this song is about the time I took that break and it’s called The Day I Died.”

The powerful song led into Lewis singing Hold Me While You Wait, the star ended on Forget Me before he returned for an acoustic guitar cover rendition of Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

He thanked Glasgow and told them he was going away for a while to write a new album and hoped everyone would be there on his return.

As the sun went down on TRNSMT Lewis thanked Glasgow for being there today and got the crowd swaying in unison to Survive. Inevitably, he then finished his set with a guitar-led rendition of his biggest hit, Someone You Loved.

As the pyrotechnics lit up the stage, it was the perfect ending to the three day long festival.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Being an action-oriented sign, when the planets create gentle background energies, which are more about feeling than doing, you can find it disconcerting. Today can be a point in case. The best way to embrace this is not to try to override it. You may find that your usual drive and energy feel lower. So, if needs be, just give yourself the permission to pause, Aries.

Head here for everything you need to know about being an Aries

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Your earthy nature is complemented by some lovely, flowing, intuitive influences. A riverbed is also earth, but carries water perfectly, and today, you can have the happy knack of combining your intuition with your communications. These may see you discuss things that are practical and need clarifying or organising but still be in touch with the feelings around them.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Taurus

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Your mind is rarely still, but that creates a lot of energy and sparkle, which can draw people to you. However, every so often, a day will come when you are nudged to step back from these fast exchanges and consider the big picture. Today can be one of them. Whether it is your finances or your career, taking a moment to consider where you are can prove fruitful.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Gemini

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

The Sun, newly arrived in your sign, forges a very powerful connection to the North Node. Something unplanned could have quite the impact. It could be a conversation, or it may be your inner thoughts that take you somewhere different. Engaging with ways to feel surer of your personal destiny may be part of this, but also seeing that being open-minded is important too.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Cancer

Leo

July 24 to August 23

A seemingly everyday conversation could have an element of intrigue. Why? Well, perhaps not because of what’s said as much as what isn’t. It may be because the other person isn’t opening up, but you can still get a feel for what’s going on, as you’re likely extra perceptive today. However, you can also lean into this person and be supportive without making a fuss.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Leo

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Friendships, your network, and long-term hopes are all firmly in the picture. However, it can be a particular friend with whom you feel a deeper connection at present. You may both bring different qualities, but that’s a good thing, as you complement one another and can spur each other on. This is an opportunity to use collaboration to achieve something truly special.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Virgo

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Your leadership credentials are to the fore. Even if you don’t see yourself as someone who fronts things up, don’t underestimate how others view your ability to make suggestions and give well-timed advice. With the Moon in Libra in a brief face-to-face with the shape-shifting energies of Neptune, any pearls of wisdom you give will likely though, be delivered with delicacy.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Libra

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

You often feel most comfortable when your situation feels under control, and you can apply your natural intensity to managing things in a way that feels comfortable. Today’s energies suggest you might surrender a little more and let the process guide you. This does require letting go, and that may feel like a test, but it could prove quite liberating, in a unique way.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Scorpio

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

The Moon is moving through the sign of balance, Libra, and this can see you enjoying some convivial exchanges. Whilst you can be attuned to friends, you will also want to feel they are in touch with your situation. The Sun and the North Node are in a particularly acute angle, but one that suggests you’ll want to dive deep beyond the pleasantries that today can serve up.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Sagittarius

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Your need to achieve is a big part of you. However, the expansive Jupiter has, over the last twelve months, given you the opportunity to work on your relationships, proving that there are more markers of success than status. Indeed, today, as the Sun, like Jupiter in Cancer, links to the subtle energies of the North Node, a conversation can show the importance of one tie.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Capricorn

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Your imagination can be fabulous today. If you are writing, presenting, or formatting, you can bring an extra dimension to all of them. This can see your words and ideas shimmer with possibility as the Moon and Neptune go face to face. And also, the practical strands of your situation can flow along nicely too, and particularly if you don’t try to overanalyse them.

Head here for everything you need to know about being an Aquarius

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

You might find a particular item alluring. And it’s possible that you can conjure up all sorts of reasons why you should buy this. However, as much as desire can be strong, logic can be blurred. If unsure, ask yourself what practical value it brings – but it may save you from a case of buyer’s remorse – if you convince yourself, you just have to have it!

Captain Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum were all smiles after England won the first Test at Lord’s, apparently on the same page after a bruising Ashes winter. In the run-up to the home summer, both men denied Australia had damaged their relationship.

Assessing where they are after this episode is mainly done through the words of McCullum. The New Zealander has spoken and Stokes is yet to.

Two days before the second Test, for which Stokes was absent, McCullum repeatedly spoke of his “worry” and “concern” for the all-rounder. However, when Stokes returned to play for his county, Durham chief executive Tim Bostock said he was “bemused” by McCullum’s take.

Two things can be true at the same time. McCullum said he has been in daily contact with Stokes, and could have been given cause for concern. Meanwhile, the 35-year-old could have felt relaxed with Durham, away from everything going on with England.

Before the Test, McCullum would not be drawn on Stokes’ future as a player or captain. He may have genuinely not known, and probably had a right to be frustrated it was Stokes, of all people, who had allowed himself to be caught up in a nightclub incident.

Following a crushing defeat in the second Test, McCullum confirmed Stokes’ return and said: “I anticipate we’ll be able to work together really well in the week coming and I’m sure that both of us have that same vision for this cricket team.”

Stokes will speak to the media on Wednesday, while England train in Nottingham for the first time on Tuesday. There will be plenty of interested observers.

From Beamish Museum to Ryhope Engines Museum and some of Newcastle’s most historic buildings, the production leans heavily on local landmarks to bring Woolf’s 1910 world to life, and many are an easy day trip.

Beamish Museum, County Durham

Beamish is the big one.

The open‑air living museum doubles for Edwardian London, its cobbled streets, trams and shopfronts giving Gharavi the scale and period detail she needed without leaving County Durham.

She has called Beamish “the jewel in the crown of the Northeast locations” and hopes the film will show national and international audiences just how extraordinary it is.

(Image: BEAMISH MUSEUM)

Where it is: Beamish Museum, Beamish, County Durham, DH9 0RG.

Ryhope Engines Museum, Sunderland

One of the most distinctive locations is Ryhope Engines Museum, the former pumping station in Sunderland. Gharavi only discovered it while scouting, but it quickly became one of her favourites: “It’s such a gem… staggeringly good for the region,” she says.

The preserved Victorian and Edwardian beam engines give Night and Day a real industrial backbone, and the director is full of praise for the volunteers – including one called Keith, who has been involved for around 40 years.

(Image: GOOGLE)

Where it is: Ryhope Engines Museum, Waterworks Road, Ryhope, Sunderland, SR2 0ND.

Durham Cathedral, Durham City

Durham Cathedral brings academic prestige to the screen.

Its cloisters, already known to many from Harry Potter, are used as Cambridge University, providing a backdrop for scenes set in the rarefied world of Edwardian higher education.

Gharavi says she was drawn to the “crazy parts” of the building – arches, walkways and enclosed courtyards – that could convincingly pass for Oxbridge colleges.

Where it is: Durham Cathedral, The Cathedral Office, The College, Durham City, County Durham, DH1 3EH.

The Lit & Phil, Newcastle

The Literary and Philosophical Society – better known as the Lit & Phil – appears in several key scenes.

The independent library’s reading rooms and galleries help recreate London’s intellectual and social circles, echoing the bookish, debate‑filled spaces that run through Woolf’s novel.

Where it is: The Lit & Phil, 23 Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 1SE.

The Common Room and Mining Institute (Neville Hall), Newcastle

Neville Hall, home to The Common Room (formerly the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers), and the adjacent Mining Institute are also used prominently.

Their wood‑panelled lecture theatre and Victorian interiors stand in for professional and academic spaces in London, with Gharavi describing the circular lecture theatre as feeling exactly like a 1910 meeting room.

Common Room, Newcastle. (Image: GOOGLE)

Where it is: The Common Room / Mining Institute, Neville Hall, Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 1SE.

Tanfield Railway

Tanfield Railway – billed as the world’s oldest working railway – is another North East gem that makes it into Night and Day.

Its heritage rolling stock, bridges and stations help extend the film’s period world beyond drawing rooms and libraries, adding movement and a sense of a country on the move.

(Image: Supplied)

Where it is: Tanfield Railway (Marley Hill), near Sunniside, NE16 5ET.

A region doubling for London and Cambridge

All of these locations are stitched together on screen to stand in for London and Cambridge, underlining just how versatile the North East can be as a filming destination.

For Gharavi, who has lived in the region for nearly three decades, the film is a statement of intent: proof that you can tell a major literary story using streets, stations, cathedrals and factories that Northern Echo readers know well – and can visit long after the credits roll.

NEW YORK (AP) — A 51-year-old Connecticut man fell to his death from an upper deck of Madison Square Garden during a concert on Saturday night, police said.

Officers responding to a 911 call around 9:51 p.m. found the man unconscious and unresponsive with injuries indicating a fall from an “elevated position,” New York City police said. Police did not say how far the man fell, but said he was in Section 300. They identified him as Paul Kueker of Niantic, Connecticut.

The man was with his wife, according to police. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police do not suspect foul play.

The rock band Goose was performing. In a statement on Facebook, the band said it was “deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred.”

Sunday at Parklife saw sets from Arman Van Helden, Rudimental, Kettama, Zara Larsson and Calvin Harris

At the gates into Heaton Park on Sunday afternoon there was one accessory that all those-in-the-know had in their possession – and if they didn’t then they were queuing up to get one.

No, it wasn’t a bucket hat or cowboy accessory, but fans emblazoned with jewels and profanities – well it is Parklife. After an epic first day, the sun was firmly out for the longest day of the year, and sadly, those fans were doing little to quell the heat.

Saturday set a precedent with the sunshine and the good times with a surprise set from Aitch and a celebratory moment for Josh Baker during the day, followed by an electric atmosphere and an erupting crowd for Skepta, with DJ and producer Sammy Virji ending things off with a lively and uplifting set – ticked off with a rouse of fireworks.

With expectations high for Sunday, the weather instantly turned up – bringing highs of 25C basking down on Heaton Park for early sets from Manchester’s own Mix-Stress as well as the likes of Rich Reason and Fumi.

Summer solstice and a headliner who sings about the joys of Midnight Sun – it couldn’t have been more serendipitous for those heading down on Sunday. And fans poured through the gates in their thousands for day two of the UK’s largest metropolitan festival in anticipation of seeing both Zara Larsson and Calvin Harris later in the evening.

Of course the festival isn’t just about the headliners, though Sunday’s billing was rather good for that. On the Valley Stage thousands flooded through early doors to catch the first sets of the day – Nicola Bear and Clementine Douglas.

The latter kicked off her set with the instantly recognisable Blessings – her collab with fellow Parklife performer Calvin Harris. The award winning vocalist drew in crowds who came running to soak up her high energy set. By the end of the half an hour performance, festival-goers were dancing and singing along to her impressive roster of tracks – setting the tone for the party to come.

Over at Panorama, the party really had started. The new stage boasts cutting edge state-of-the-art production alongside new LED visuals and on-stage access. There’s also dancing platforms.

Yesterday, they were used more for a little sit down when the sun got a little but too much, but on Sunday, revellers made the most of the new additions, swinging, swaying and bringing good vibes as Sheffield’s Silva Bumpa gave them quite the show.

Amid the revival of UK garage, bassline, and speed garage, he has has driven the scene forward. His music is a mix of gritty base with the bounce and singalong quality of those beloved club classics – you know the ones we’re sad to tear ourselves away from when the lights come up at the club at 4am and we’re shooed out.

The stage too was packed out. A feature of Panorama is that fans are given the chance to get behind the DJ, up on stage, a little Boiler Room-esque. While festivals are all about the incredible acts, you could tell from the vibes up on stage that those attending we’re loving being in the spotlight too.

Lets just say Parklife-goers were loving this new stage. Arguably one of the busiest areas of the festival all day, the likes of Luuk Van Dijk, Chloé Caillet, and Ewan McVicar we bolstered by the fans out in the field giving it their all, throwing some interesting shapes and partying like the day would never end.

And Panorama isn’t the only new feature for 2026. The festival has raised the bar with a host of new additions across the site, in both the main area and VIP section. This year, Parklife has delighted festival-goers with secret sets and brand-new stages as well as quirky attractions and upgraded amenities.

Revellers explored a new food court, browsed the interactive Bossmans supermarket experience, and could even pick up a vintage keepsake from roaming Polaroid photographers for £8. Among the new food offerings was Manchester favourite Jerk Junction, the popular Caribbean street food brand founded in Chorlton.

Meanwhile, VIP ticket holders were treated to an enhanced experience, with new charging lockers, dedicated areas to rest and relax, and shaded spaces to escape the summer sun between sets. There was even somewhere to get your high-end trainers professionally cleaned – now that’s VIP service for you.

Armand Van Helden took to the Valley stage ate afternoon for an hour of high-energy house hits. The American DJ played to a packed-out crowd at the centre of the festival, getting people hyped up and singing along to a mix that included some of his bestselling hits, such as I Want Your Soul, My My My and fan favourite Bonkers, which he made with Dizzee Rascal. As the evening drew closer, Parklife was bouncing to the expertly crafted set of the crowd-pleasing DJ.

When it came to fashion on the Sunday, there’s one person many festival-goers looked too. Since the release of her breakthrough worldwide hit Lush Life, Swedish pop star Zara Larsson has been inspiring fans with her sense of Y2K style emphasising neon, glitter and glamour.

Her nostalgia-tinged style continued to erupt with the release of her latest album Midnight Sun last year, which sees her headline Parklife this year. With her set eyed as a highlight for the entire weekend, fans have taken note from her Mermaid-inspired style with pink outfits, mesh tops, and candy-coloured fun.Outside of the Midnight Sun huns, there were more bandanas, low-rise shorts, bucket hats, football shirts and tie dye realness on show.

Parklife veterans Rudim3ntal returned to the festival for their sixth appearance – surely that must be a record?

The London-based three piece got the crowd hyped up and moving at The Valley stage as they played back to back hits in their heavily drum and bass inspired set. The crowd loved the setlist, which included Waiting All Night, Spectrum (Say My Name) and Good Feeling – despite the slight change in weather the late afternoon brought. Speaking mid-way thought the set, frontman Locksmith said: “I feel like we haven’t been in Manchester for a minute. And you know what Manchester, you always do it large.”

At the pinnacle of her career right now thanks to a plethora of viral hits – including 11-year-old hit Lush Life which just won’t grow old – Zara was one of the biggest draws of the weekend for pop fans.

Opening with Midnight Sun before kicking into the likes of Can’t Tame Her, Eurosummer and Never Forget You she brought a real sense of glitter-bombed mermaid style to proceedings.

Her baby blue swimsuit mashed with Daisy Duke-style shorts customised with trinkets incluidng what looked like a mini Hot Wheels cars, carabiners (din’t have her down as a mountain climber) and key rings, showed she’s all about the attention to detail.

Sadly, the only down side was the soundsystem. Zara’s lush vocals and those astounding notes that we all know she’s capable of hitting were achieved, but were sometimes a little mute. The soundsystem at The Valley has been pretty much flawless during this year’s performances, so for Zara’s set to be a little quiet was a tad disappointing.

That said, the crowd didn’t seem to mind, singing back the lyrics to Hot & Sexy and Stateside, before the crowd went loud for her remix of PinkPantheress’ Stateside. We did have a smile to ourselves during the set too when Zara complimented the outfits on display.

What amused us is she chose to share love to her fans during Pretty Ugly which, let’s be honest, does initially appear to be a bit of bad timing on her front. That said, it’s actually a song about rejecting what is expected – especially for women to be “ladylike” – and to own their selves. And to that we say Amen Zara, you pitch-perfect pop princess.

Of course, Lush Life made an appearance as a fan was brought on stage to recreate the 2015 hit’s iconic choreography, even gifting her a t-shirt – lucky thing.

For those that we’re there at the first Parklife, things were pretty different. First off, it wasn’t at Heaton Park but Platt Fields. Second, the lineup featured Friendly Fires, Booka Shade, Kissy Sell Out and The Japanese Popstars, and Calvin Harris.

The very man that today has built a $300M music empire and holds the record for the most UK Top 10 hits from a single studio album. To say he’s a big a deal might not do the phrase justice.

Returning to Parklife 16 years later, the crowd was huge, potentially bigger than Charli xcx last year – and that’s saying something. Blending seamlessly between his back catalogue of massive hits – we’re talking ‘We Found Love’, ‘How Deep is Your Love’ and ‘One Kiss’ to name just a few, there was no lapse at all

Just when you thought is might subside, another hit came through the speakers, mobile phones aloft as the crowd sought to capture a moment that we know can’t be repeated. “Manchester you sound so good” he said encouragingly, as if to make sure they were supported through this high-energy, whistle-stop tour through the last twenty years.

High-end production – check. Pyrotechnics and fireworks galore check. Parklife history made? Check.
