It was the State Opening of Parliament today, one of those great British state occasions which involve dressing up in ceremonial dress and undertaking centuries-old rituals. One of those rituals symbolises, ironically after the recent events surrounding the arrest of Tory MP Damien Green, the...

England has its fair share of loonies, oddballs and eccentrics. On a per capita basis, England probably has more of these than any other nation. Why this should be is probably a bit of a mystery. Take William John Cavendish Bentinck Scott, the fifth Duke of Portland. This man hated daylight...

British soldiers in Afghanistan (the men, anyway), had the ultimate morale-booster last week - by being visited by several of The Sun's world-famous Page 3 girls. The girls were even taken down to a firing range to have a go at firing some of the weapons and even brought with them a special...

Like Constable, who painted beautiful portraits of the British countryside, British artist Carl Warner likes nothing better to have pretty pictures filled with trees, flowers, fields, haycarts and the sea. However, these are no ordinary pictures. These pictures all use items of fruit and...

Since 1330, the Bethlem Royal Hospital - also known as "Bedlam", and which gives its name to any place in which confusion and uproar has taken place - in London has been housing the country's lunatics, though it isn't quite as notorious nowadays as it was during its height in the 1700s. It was...

When the Daily Mail's Science Editor Michael Hanlon was growing up, comic books and TV shows of the time depicted the 1990s as being a time of flying cars, robot servants and people living on the Moon in great cities. In the 2000s, still none of these things has come to pass. So when WILL the...

Four police officers were killed early today in a road accident on Britain's border with the Republic of Ireland. The smash happened in County Down, just a few miles away from the border with the Irish Republic. It is the biggest single loss of life for police in Northern Ireland since the...
