The Doctor Who-themed part of the 2026 Blackpool Illuminations is now being set up. It runs Friday, September 4, 2026, through Sunday, January 3, 2027.
One of the most emotional deleted scenes from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is Thorin Oakenshield’s funeral.
After the battle, Thorin is laid to rest beneath Erebor, with his rightful place as King Under the Mountain finally restored. But the true power of this moment comes from Ian McKellen’s performance as Gandalf.
Gandalf’s words are not just a farewell to Thorin, they are a reflection on his entire journey. He remembers a dwarf who was consumed by loss and obsession, but who found his courage and honor again before the end.
McKellen’s emotional delivery brings a sense of sadness and respect to Thorin’s final moments, reminding us that despite his flaws, Thorin was still a great king who sacrificed everything for his people.
A quiet but powerful ending for the last King Under the Mountain.

The Clone Wars is genuinely some of the greatest Star Wars ever partially because it legitimately made us care about random Jedi just as much as our main characters.
Characters that only appear in one episode getting moments as emotional as this truly show how well written this series really was.
🚨🎙️Southgate on Liverpool last minute penalty vs Newcastle:
🗣️“I’m sorry, but Newcastle were robbed tonight. That is not a penalty I would expect to decide a Premier League match in the 99th minute.
Liverpool were hanging on. Newcastle had done enough to win the game, and then one soft decision completely changed everything.
If that’s the standard now, Liverpool will be getting penalties every time they’re desperate for a goal.
Let’s be honest Liverpool got away with one tonight. Newcastle deserved all three points.”

I have been saying this all summer that with all the doom and gloom era we hadn’t seen everything yet and that the starting 11 would be different we do need a CDM and at least a decent RW #NUFC
The Third Age took The Lord of the Rings, turned it into a proper turn-based RPG, and somehow made every fight feel ridiculously epic. 🎮
An underrated PS2-era gem that deserves far more love.
Richard Masters needs to be sacked as the Premier League’s CEO and Simon Jordan should be given his job.
Masters won’t be dismissed because the fantastic job he’s doing for the Red Cartel clubs making the PL a two tier competition.
The snakes head needs to be removed.
No if only this can happen the the cheating hits from the so called big 6 get found out take note please and add this in to the #PremierLeague@PGMOL_FA#NUFC
Or here's a better idea.
Give the repercussions to the absolutely shite officials and get better ones.
Banning the player sets yet another dangerous can of worms. 🙄
