Last minute mother day gift

A heartbroken Queen Elizabeth was comforted by her three sons who rushed to be by her side after the sudden death of Prince Philip . The Duke of Edinburgh may have been in delicate health recently and recovering after a month in hospital, but his death on Friday morning still came slightly unexpectedly. He is thought to have been alone with his wife and a small group of staff at Windsor Castle when he passed away, before his sons quickly arrived. Prince Andrew was the first son to get to the castle to console the Queen and he was joined by Edward and then Charles. Following a flurry of police activity at around 10.40am, Andrew, who lives closest at Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, arrived at the back entrance to the Elizabeth’s private apartments, just five minutes later.

PUBS are preparing to finally reopen tomorrow for the first time this year. Non-essential shops, hairdressers and theme parks, as well as restaurants with outdoor space, reopen in England on Monday.

WEDDINGS are expensive, that's a fact. But many brides try their best to keep within their budget, no matter how big or small. One woman, however, had a very different approach to a cost-effective celebration which saw her guests cover almost the entire cost, and if they didn't, well, they were simply uninvited. Even the bride's brother was banned from attending after he refused to give her a huge £11k, according to a Reddit post which was supposedly posted by a close family member. But that's not all as her grandmother and a few aunts were all uninvited too after refusing to pay up. You see, the bride allegedly forgot to pay some vendors for there service on her big day and she didn't have the finds to pay up front. It was just two days before the nuptials and she needed the cash, so she phoned her brother and asked for a huge $US15k (£11,000). The anonymous poster claimed the bride, known as Karen, "wasn't the brightest bulb in the box". "Karen calls her brother … [Read more...] about Bridezilla forces guests to pay £11k to attend her big day – and she uninvites her brother when he refuses

Buckingham Palace announced that Philip's ceremonial royal funeral will take place on April 17 in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. A national minute's silence will be observed as it begins at 3pm.

Pictures shared with Sky News, taken by survivors of the Palma terror attack in Mozambique, give a graphic illustration of a terrifying three days under fire, surrounded by insurgents. Nearly 200 people - including foreign workers - took refuge in one of the town's hotels. But survivors have told Sky News how they fled for their lives because they felt they'd been abandoned and no one was coming to rescue them. One South African contractor spoke of almost constant shooting and shelling during the three days they were trapped inside the Amarula Lodge in Palma. Wesley Nel filmed on his mobile phone throughout and his footage shows those pinned down in the Lodge - including his brother Adrian and father Greg - lying on the floor of the hotel's upstairs restaurant as a volley of gunfire is heard.
