10 years ago, Jonny Madderson made a short film about a 12-year-old boy from Donegal with big dreams of being a champion jockey.

Yesterday, at the age of just 22, Dylan Browne McMonagle realised that dream when crowned Champion Jockey of Ireland. He’s just getting started. 🙌

Welcome to the club @McIlroyRory. Completing the grand slam at Augusta is something special. Your determination during this round, and this entire journey has shown through, and now you’re a part of history. Proud of you!

Actually it’s only because of the French that you won your war of independence against the Brits. If not for the French you’d have remained a British colony. So you became a Republic only with the aid of an absolutist French monarchy — and, of course, by not challenging Southern demands to retain slavery after independence. Great as the American Republic is, it owes its foundation to French absolutist monarchy and acceptance of slavery. What’s your next question?

“Trump says America has given Ukraine $350 billion in military, financial, humanitarian aid, with nothing to show for it. Wrong.”

Andrew Neil rips into Donald Trump’s “litany of falsehoods” about US aid to Ukraine.

I'm shocked and saddened by Rick's passing. I'm thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey!

Gambling is a 'normal' activity and the vast majority of people who put a bet on do so without a problem.

Problem gambling rates are not up since deregulation in 2007

I've always thought Justin Welby was a weak man - a follower not a leader. How is he still in his job after admitting to protecting a known paedophile priest? If he refuses to resign he should be ousted.

A tribute from JP McManus:

Sadly, Istabraq passed away at 1.15am this morning at the ripe old age of 32. He was a very special horse who gave us many great days of fun and enjoyment.

Our thanks to Lara Hegarty, Johnny O'Brien and all the staff at Martinstown who took such fantastic care of him over many years.

We are pleased that we gave him a good celebration for his most recent birthday in May. He leaves Noreen, myself and the family with wonderful memories

[AP McCoy @AP_McCoy]

RIP Istabraq. Lived 32 wonderful years - he truly was the horse of a lifetime

"Words just seem hollow and inadequate in such circumstances and all we can try and do is provide some crumb of comfort by trying to exhibit the warmth and respect in which John and his family are held."

We are all thinking of you, John ❤️
