Real Madrid celebrated their 36th La Liga title as they paraded through the streets of the Spanish capital. Madrid had clinched the league title a week earlier, with four games to spare, but could not celebrate the triumph before last midweek's Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich.

He added: “Wiltshire Police now has a custody suite which is fit for the 21st century, meets Home Office compliance advice as well as HMICFRS inspection criteria.

The horse trials are one of seven five-star equestrian events in the world. Badminton Horse Trials was established in 1949 to prepare British riders for the Olympic Games. Queen Elizabeth II presented the Badminton trophy on the event’s 50th anniversary in 1999, to five-time British Olympian Ian Stark. The accolade is awarded to those who win three consecutive five-star competitions: the Badminton Horse Trials, the Kentucky Three-Day Event, and the Burghley Horse Trials in Lincolnshire.
He fulfilled that role again at Old Trafford, playing Kai Havertz onside after 21 minutes for the match-winning goal, one that condemned United to a 14th Premier League defeat this season.

Again, an experienced player, he’s got to get up the pitch.” Casemiro, United's highest-paid player on £350,000-a-week, has a year left on that lucrative contract, but it is fanciful to think he will remain at Old Trafford next season. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new football operations team want value for money in terms of the playing squad and at 32-years-old and £18.2million a year in wages, Casemiro is not that.

Father Thomas McHale is the priest at Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill, Consett, County Durham (Picture: Stanley, Dipton and Byermoor Catholic Parishes)A Catholic priest has kept his job despite outraging parishioners with a ‘vulgar’ sermon over the Easter weekend. Father Thomas McHale, priest at Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill, Consett, County Durham, shocked his flock by claiming during his Good Friday sermon that Jesus died with an erection. The 53-year-old American prelate told the roughly 100 gathered that execution by crucifixion would have sent all the blood rushing down to Christ’s lower body. One dismayed worshipper told The Times: ‘He told people Jesus died with an erection. Last month, a Catholic ministry in the US pulled the plug on the world’s first AI priest.

But in the end the prince opted not to see his father despite being a stone's throw from the royal residences in the capital. Sources in Harry's camp say he had notified his father of an intent to see him during the trip. However, those within the King's circles insist that there was no notification given by the Duke ahead of time despite the request for lodgings. Royal protocols reportedly require the Duke to give 28 days' warning to the King and the Home Office to request security. But royal sources maintain no request was ever received from Harry's camp to see his father.
Last November a proposal was launched to convert the upper floors of The Bear Hotel, which has stood in Chippenham Market Place since the 18th century, into apartments. The initial design for this “contemporary” office space sparked some concerns from Chippenham Town Council, which labelled it “heavy and dominant”. READ MORE: The Bear Hotel transformation plans in Chippenham debatedThe proposed extension (Image: Armstrong Architecture)Armstrong Architecture, the agent working on behalf of applicant London & Wiltshire Ltd, has since lodged revised designs for this extension. At a town council planning meeting, councillors did not object to the revised plans and praised the scheme for bringing the building back into use. While the ground floor is currently a tapas bar, that would be unaffected by the redevelopment, the upper floors have been vacant since the hotel closed several years ago.
110,000 affordable homes by 2032However, housing minister Paul McLennan – who retained his post in John Swinney's ministerial reshuffle – struck a defiant tone. He said: “Scotland has led the UK in housing by delivering more than 128,000 affordable homes since 2007. We are investing nearly £600 million in affordable housing this financial year, the majority of which will be for social rent. Likewise our Financial Transactions budget – key to delivering affordable housing – has been cut by 62%. “We remain focused on delivering 110,000 affordable homes by 2032 and to support that we will bring forward the review scheduled for 2026-27 to 2024, which will concentrate on deliverability.
JK Rowling has doubled down on her comments about the first transgender manager at the top of English women's football, insisting that Lucy Clark is a "straight, white, middle-aged bloke". Appointed as Sutton United Women's manager in January, the move was hailed by a Pride account on social media on Saturday. And Rowling responded acidly: "When I was young all the football managers were straight, white, middle-aged blokes, so it's fantastic to see how much things have changed." The tweet drew a fair amount of criticism, but the Harry Potter and Cormoran Strike author was typically forthright in response a Daily Mail story saying she had been 'accused of cruelty' by comparing Clark to a 'straight, white middle-aged bloke'. What harm does her role as a football manager cause you?

UK music venues are facing a perfect storm, with a surge in costs -- particularly for electricity and rent -- coinciding with reduced purchasing power for customers. "Everything costs about 15 percent more on average than it did before the pandemic and... sales are down some 20 percent," he explained. Some 125 independent venues closed in Britain last year, more than a third of the total. Covid was a massive hit for the night-time economy, but this is far worse," he added. While alcohol sales are falling, ticket sales are doing well.

There are calls for the Crystal Palace star, 20, to go to the Euros with EnglandBayern Munich are reportedly preparing a £60million swoop for Adam Wharton, Crystal Palace's rising star. Bayern are desperate to sign him after missing out on his signature in January, according to The Sun. Palace saw off competition from Bayern and Chelsea and the exposure to first-team Premier League football at Selhurst Park has catapulted his career. Addressing talk of him possible making England's Euros squad, Wharton, and U21s international, said: 'I don't really think about that too much,' Wharton said. Palace could face a fight to keep him this summer, and it's the same case with Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze.
