Every year on the anniversary of #DDay, French citizens take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones of fallen soldiers who gave their lives to liberate Europe.

It gives the letters a golden shine.

They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there.

@gunnerblog very droll

@M_H_Taylor I've never been able to get beyond the mutton chops and prudery when it comes to Victorian history but your Impossible Monsters book reads like a thriller with rockstar scientists. Tremendous 👊 (Image of Darwin by @ColorizeHistory)

Rishi Sunak to take over at Chelsea in July.

Obviously they won't ask fans in the stadium but if they did I predict it'd be a MASSIVE majority. VAR wrecks matchday experience.

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Premier League clubs to vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season. Resolution formally submitted by Wolves to abolish system + will be on agenda at June 6 AGM. Any rule change needs 2/3s majority (14 of 20 members) to pass @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/QXK5ZgP0Ht

When, in the 1989 League title run-in, #Arsenal wobbled, the newspaper headlines put the boot in. The @GoonerFanzine kept the receipts for its celebratory, title-winning issue (August 1989).

“All I wanted to see was an Arsenal team that was genuinely competitive, and that played in a way I could connect with.” True words. #overandoverandoveragain

[Ed Staples @edstaples]

Never mind @England's new 'dark raisin' and 'sesame' away kit (which sounds like a porridge topping but looks alright TBF) whaddabout our Martin in this beauty for @nff_landslag ? *Almost* as good as him in an @Arsenal shirt. #afc #odegaard #norway #stripes

“Sir Bufton Tufton, Jean-Paul Sartre / Zippy, Bungle, Jeffrey Archer” Still one of my favourite rhymes. 👊The Beloved #1989

@BBC6Music @chris_hawkins Shannon at seven? Yes!

[Ed Staples @edstaples]

I can hear "B'Jesus said Paddy..." being sung at Kenilworth Road. Old skool #overandoverandoveragain #afc @arseblog oh... and a goal 👊

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

How many people have actually voted for Rishi Sunak? Net zero.

"A reliable source has informed us that in early February, two months after the risk level was raised to high, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan remarked, ‘We just need to keep the lid on this for two years and then it’s someone else’s problem.’"

Platform announcement blares warm weather warning. Advice to public to carry water. Then trains are heated with no working toilets. Head-scratching on @Se_Railway

[Ed Staples @edstaples]

A proper belter. Not a word wasted. Top pics. Tremendous range. Ace work Paninaro 👊 #Manchester #football #music

“The task for the imaginative politician is to remind the people that the suffering and the needy also have a place in our imagination and therefore in our community.” 👊👏👏👏
