Today, King Charles III visited Luton DART Parkway Station in Bedfordshire, learning about the new cable-drawn mass passenger transit system which will connect Luton Airport Parkway rail station to Luton Airport.

"Get his trousers": So says the King jokingly after coming across an adorable yappy corgi, an animal so beloved by his mother, of course. The King was visiting the Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn in central London to hear about their work supporting and educating barristers. His Majesty, who...

After mysteriously being met by a load of Africans in Luton, Bedfordshire, which made it look as though he was visiting the Masai Mara or Mogadishu, and then having some leftie student Remainer republican vegan Lib Dem Guardianista type throwing an egg at him during a time of national egg...

I was telling my Polish boss in work tonight how I used to have the whole of the 1966 World Cup Final on DVD, the match in which England beat West Germany 4-2. He then started poking fun at me, basically saying England are rubbish, so I reminded him that Poland are already out of this World Cup...

If England are to win this for a second time then it looks like we'll have to beat the holders France, then beat Portugal, then beat either Argentina or Brazil. Ouch.

We now take two days off before the Quarter Finals begin. Quarter Finals (UK time) Friday Croatia Vs Brazil (15:00) Netherlands Vs Argentina (19:00) Saturday Morocco Vs Portugal (15:00) England Vs France (19:00)

Last 16 Brazil 4-1 South Korea The most successful footballing nation on Earth plays the best football at this World Cup to destroy South Korea. They are ranked No1 in the world and are the World Cup favourites - as is often the case. They will take some beating.

England midfielder Bellingham being interviewed after Sunday night's 3-0 win over Senegal. Such a humble guy who doesn't realise what a great player he is at the age of just 19 who seems to love playing for his country. Hopefully he's a future World Cup winner. What are his thoughts about...

You're right. You fail, however, to mention England's Jude Bellingham, midfielder, who also plays for Borussia Dortmund. This guy is utter class. He's one of the best - if not THE best - midfielder in the world right now and he's only 19, which is scary for England's opponents. And when he was...

Last 16 England 3-0 Senegal England have scored a national record equalling 12 goals in a World Cup as they book a Quarter Final spot against World Champions France

Your team is 3-0 up against the African Champions and totally in control in the Last 16 of the World Cup. No nerves or anxiety or being put through the wringer. Just relaxed and swigging my beer. Glorious.
