With a girth of over 5 metres, this English oak in Lloyd Park is the largest recorded oak tree with public access in London. Officially registered as ancient, it's thought to be at least 400 years old. It's said that the scorching on the tree was caused by a lightning strike.

@Lndonaficionado I really miss seeing you @Lndonaficionado for London outings and great catch ups!

@Lndonaficionado The artist was the wonderful @KOkaforart - British hyper-realist artist who specialises in pencil portraits. Love his work!

As the Olympics come to a close, what did we learn from the Olympics about performance, competing, toughness, and striving for greatness?

A THREAD on the 7 lessons from the Olympic games that we can take away and apply to our everyday lives.

@SimonCalder looking for advice for US Citizen needing to travel to France & Switzerland for business necessity. They have been in the UK for the past 3 months but not a resident. Will restrictions on Americans travelling to EU and Switzerland still apply in this case?

@itvhub I can’t find any way of deleting it at the moment.

@itvhub Any suggestions on how to stop the ITV Hub crashing at every advert break? Resume feature no longer works. Watching on a Samsung TV (Series 3 TD390S). I am signed in. TV is telling me that all Apps are up to date as is TV software. Sent an email on 30 May. Thanks

It was the Windsor Castle from its 19th century origins, then The Cardinal from 1963, reverting back to the Windsor Castle from 2011. Pictures taken by @gem_halliday when we visited last week. #LondonPubs

@From_Rons_Desk Wonderful Ronnie!

[Ronnie C @From_Rons_Desk]

When winter whispered to Hyde Park trees
it felt like all of London would freeze
Palace statues now wore a white crown
they watched the icicles decorate the town
and when the day melted into night
all the trains shivered out of site
