When Sir Paul McCartney played Glastonbury on Saturday night , it was with the energy of a man half his age. For nearly three hours and 38 songs, he didn’t flag, in what will go down in history as one of the festival’s all-time great performances. And when the show finally wrapped up after midnight, he headed off to a backstage party that kept rocking until 3am. Not bad for an 80-year-old. Plenty of viewers at home, though, couldn’t match him for stamina. The BBC broadcast, which was transmitted “as live” but one hour behind the real show in order to accommodate the News at Ten, ended at 1.15am. No matter - bleary-eyed fans unable to stay awake that long could go to bed safe in the knowledge that the performance would be available to watch on iPlayer the next morning. Except it wasn’t. With no explanation, McCartney’s set failed to appear. It took a full 24 hours, and a blizzard of complaints from disgruntled fans, before it was finally uploaded. The BBC had messed up its … [Read more...] about The BBC’s Macca mystery: what went wrong at Glastonbury?

Lawyer for family whose toddler died in cruise ship window fall says company isn’t handing over “critical” surveillance footage
Royal Caribbean is yet to hand over surveillance footage of Sunday's tragedy aboard its cruise ship Freedom of the Seas in which an 18-month-old girl fell to her death from a high window while playing with her grandfather, according to the family's lawyer. Chloe Wiegand fell from an eleventh-storey window while the vessel was docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after her grandfather Salvatore Anello placed her on a railing not realizing there was no glass behind her. According to Michael Winkelman, a maritime attorney acting for the family, Wiegand liked to bang on the glass at her brother's hockey games, and Anello thought she was about to do the same when she fell through what was, in fact, an open window. Police in Puerto Rico are investigating the incident and any potential negligence on the part of the family. But Winkelman has sought to shift blame onto the cruise ship operator for having an open window in a children's area without any warning signs, leading to a … [Read more...] about Lawyer for family whose toddler died in cruise ship window fall says company isn’t handing over “critical” surveillance footage

Prince Charles took more than 20 private flights within the UK ‘to avoid being stuck in traffic’
The Prince of Wales took more than 20 private flights, including several helicopters, within the UK last year in order to avoid being stuck in traffic, it has emerged.
