In 2021, workmen digging a rainwater cistern in Hazeweidestraat, St Juliaan, Belgium spotted human remains in their trench. A few days later an archaeological excavation was undertaken by the Flanders Heritage Agency. Artefacts recovered alongside the remains showed them to be those of a soldier who had served in the 5th Battalion Yorkshire Regiment. The Ministry of Defence’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), launched an investigation to name him. Research identified twenty men from the regiment missing in the area, all of whom died in the Spring of 1915. Following genealogical investigation, living descendants of the missing men were traced one by one until eventually DNA testing proved that the remains were those of Lance Corporal Claude Stanley Dell. He was laid to rest last week at Poelcapelle British Cemetery in Belgium. 🔗Discover more on our website 📷Eric Compernolle

It’s not just the statues on Place de la Republique shedding tears for France today, much of the country is. People stand around shocked, in disbelief. The events of the weekend have shaken France to its core.

I traveled to Spain earlier this month to witness the solar eclipse, making a round trip of 2,340 miles. All this, for 1min 22secs of totality. Was it worth it? You bet was..! Magical.

Sublime totality - the moment the lights went out in Spain…

I’m sailing to Spain to see the eclipse - but at sunset a passing ship stole the sun and made off with it! Hopefully their dastardly plan will be foiled & we’ll still be on for Wednesday’s solar spectacular…

I flew to Norway with Kevin Keegan & a plane load of underprivileged kids from Newcastle to meet Santa just before Christmas 1996. He was Manager of Newcastle Utd at the time, but found the time, to get stuck-in, and make sure all the kids had a lovely time… Sad news. RIP

Back at the revolving door…

I'm really rattled to hear of the hideously premature death of my friend and former @itn colleague Dermot Murnaghan, aged just 68. I have great memories of him, not just bantering in the cafe at 200 Grays Inn Road, but also the times we spent cycling together on the annual @DuchenneUK Dash - London-to-Paris-in-24-hours – charity ride, of which @SkyNews was a big supporter. Dermot was a very experienced and accomplished cyclist - lithe and quick as lightning up the hills. I'm not ! Typically, he sought to exploit that - and one year he publicly challenged me, after 300kms in 24 hours, to get back on my bike the following morning, and join him cycling back from Paris to London. With honour at stake – and a fair amount of sponsorship money for the brilliant charity that is @DuchenneUK – we did the gruelling return trip, entirely unsupported, joined by Dermot's then boss at Sky News John Ryley. Typically, as John and I puffed and panted up the hills, Dermot sped off into the distance – but not so far that we couldn't hear him laughing at us as we desperately tried to keep up. Here's to a brilliant broadcaster - and huge character. Rest in Peace Dermot - and deepest condolences to the Murnaghan family

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

Any journo buying food at the @MetLifeStadium, during this @FIFAWorldCup, should be ready to be taken for a mug. @EddyDove of @ESPNAfrica just went to get a meal. I’ll leave him to tell you how much he paid for it…

"Picturesque river polluted with sewage just 13 days after being given official bathing status." Yep the River Avon at Salisbury was designated as a bathing spot on 15th May and just 13 days later on the 28th the EA have to issue a pollution warning due to E. coli levels. What a shambles. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Do please post something today on your X page, in honour of our Allied heroes. They deserve to be remembered on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

this was so sweet. Stephen Colbert just ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney. his family and the show's crew then joined them on stage before Paul turned off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater

Amazing footage. To appreciate fully it’s worth looking up Tristan da Cunha on a map — amazing they managed to land on it at all, let alone on the golf course next to town!

A Palestinian family has described being forced by Israeli settlers to exhume the body of their recently deceased 80-year-old relative in the West Bank. The deceased man’s son, Mohammed Asasa, said the cemetery belongs to the village where they live, but armed men claimed that it belongs to the Israeli settlement of Sa-Nur. Asasa said, after they were threatened, the family had to take the remains to a nearby cemetery in Al-Funduqumiya.

Content warning: distressing scenes of violence Tonight Amnesty have awarded Channel 4 News @channel4news Best Broadcast Feature at the Amnesty Media Awards 2026 for this powerful report. This feature follows the story of Saeed al-Amour, a Palestinian farmer, whose leg was amputated after being shot by illegal settlers while he tended to his olive groves in the occupied West Bank’s Masafer Yatta. Just four days ago, Saeed was arrested and detained by Israeli forces after another confrontation with settlers on his land. This is what apartheid looks like. Saeed’s story is the story of millions of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank: state-backed settler attacks, home demolitions, and a legal system that penalises Palestinians while shielding Israeli settlers from accountability. Israel is rapidly expanding settlements across the occupied West Bank. But it is going underreported. It is vital that journalists continue to expose human rights abuses.
