There is so much that is wrong with the world right now. But when Celine Dion performed Hymne à l’amour from the Eiffel Tower at the Olympic Opening Ceremony, for a few glorious minutes everything felt perfect. Such is the power of a great singer and a beautiful song.

Very rare find - a complete and intact #Roman glass jug found near Turriff, #Aberdeenshire, #Scotland, dating to 80-150AD. Made from blown glass, it has a long narrow neck with an out turned rim. It has fine diagonal ribbing on the body, while the long handle has a vertical rib.

@BBCSteveR 🤪 if I seen you anywhere in England I would say “Oh my goodness, I’m so glad you’re home safe!”
I’d obviously then beg you for a selfie a hug 🤗 & your autograph.

Fame at last.
Man comes up to me in café: “Excuse me, you look very familiar. Do you go to M&S on Thursdays?”
Woman comes up to me in shop: “Excuse me, I’ve seen your face before. Are you a friend of my sister?”
Man comes up to me in street: “Sorry, are you a journalist? I’ve seen your reports from Iraq.”
