I strongly believe this incredible man should receive the Helen Rollinson award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2026
What Archie has achieved while undergoing active treatment for brain cancer & campaigning for change - is truly astonishing.
A true hero.

Congratulations to artists/locals Will Maclean & Marian Leven whose stone circle commemorating the women of Coigach is officially opened today. Achiltibuie exists & we can find descendants to film cos hundreds of women stood their ground against eviction in 1852/3. Epic

Various recorded albums, supposedly by me, have just appeared on streaming platforms and download sites. These are fakes, created via AI by criminals. DO NOT buy/stream them or any tracks from them. We are taking all possible steps to have them taken down. JR

[Commonwealth War Graves @CWGC]

Today we are announcing the largest single addition to our casualty records since the Second World War, following a major international research project drawing on rare historical records.

A total of 9,909 Indian Army servicemen – previously missing from the our records – have now been added, correcting a past historical omission that meant they were never formally commemorated.

Choral music is wonderfully participatory. The thing that strikes me most strongly when I go around the country for Come and Sing days is how people feel in some way lifted up and their troubles have gone. They just feel more whole, somehow more complete... JR
