@BrewDogEdin Called a fucking bitch & then chased down the street for further abuse by your assistant manager Brad at Edinburgh Cowgate on Fri. Disgusting behaviour. All because I gave the pub dog a pat goodbye on the head. They use him as a marketing for their pub #intimidation

13.5 hrs later and we made it yesterday afternoon to pay our respects to the Queen. A surreal experience. Can't even put into words all the feelings & emotions when walking into Westminster Hall. It hits you. Glad we made the mammoth journey to pay our respects #queueforthequeue

@wag_company I passed the baton onto Ellie this morning what a lovely and funny lady she is. She was telling all us baton bearers all about her dog Ruby. Well done Ellie it was lovely to meet you x

Also carrying the baton is Olympian, Jo Atkinson:

Today is the day! This morning I will be carrying the Queen's Baton along the Redcar esplanade. I feel so honoured to have been chosen to represent Redcar. I'm more nervous than lining up for the Olympics 😂

[Jo Atkinson @JoAtkinson2016]

Come and see me on Thursday carrying the Queen's baton along the Redcar esplanade. My leg starts from outside the Regent cinema at 8.53am along the esplanade towards the end of Henry Street. Such an honour to carry the baton and represent Redcar.

Such a shock to hear of Rays passing. What a guy he was an absolute one of a kind who never failed to make you laugh. So many fun memories of him from my walking days. Condolences to all his family and friends. RIP Ray 💕

[Dominic King @DomKingOlympian]

Never a truer word said. I’m saddened to hear of the passing of @RAYMONDFLYNN1 who will always be remembered for his fun positive character and kindness in helping others. Always living life to the full. I am grateful for the times I met him. RIP Ray 😢

@AldiUK husband unpacked the shopping yesterday to find our kids ice creams completely melted! 😡 We live a 5 mins drive from the store. Had to bin them as they we leaking everywhere so can't return to store and had a very upset little girl.

[Aly Dixon @alydixon262]

Seriously, what is wrong with some people?
In no situation is this behaviour acceptable.
Glad @SarahAMcDonald is ok but she should never have had this happen to her in the first place.

[Jo Atkinson @JoAtkinson2016]

@SarahAMcDonald I remember as a teenager when out on a run a lad spat in my face! I was scared to go out running alone for weeks after that. Now I would probably punch him 😂. Absolutely unacceptable behaviour to do that to you. I've faced alot of heckles and sexist comments as an athlete 😡

[Jo Atkinson @JoAtkinson2016]

@AthleticsImages @AthleticsWeekly @EnglandAthletic @runbritain @TomBosworth Thanks Mark. Great photos

[Jo Atkinson @JoAtkinson2016]

@Faster_feet @JennyMeadows800 Aww congratulations to you both! She is absolutely gorgeous. X x

[Jo Atkinson @JoAtkinson2016]

Very sad to hear of the passing of athletics legend George Gandy today. Amazing coach, amazing knowledge and a absolute gent who had time for all. Went on many camps and major champs with George & @lisa_dobriskey @BritAthletics Condolences to his family and friends. RIP George x

@AldiUK That's great news however these products used to be sold loose with no plastic packaging, the packaging has been added recently. This doesn't make sense to me at all!

[Jo Atkinson @JoAtkinson2016]

@AldiUK I thought supermarkets had pledged to reduce plastic packaging so why have you now added unnecessary plastic to these items that were previously sold loose!!!!
