Lionesses star Lauren Hemp presented with bus named after her in Norfolk hometown of North Walsham
Hundreds of fans serenaded Lioness Lauren Hemp with a rendition of Happy Birthday to give her a homecoming to remember. The winger, a key member of England's double Euros-winning team, was returning to North Walsham in Norfolk, where she grew up, as a local bus company named a vehicle after her. She was the overwhelming choice in a public competition to name the new bus, even before her starring role in the Lionesses' Euro2025 victory, said Charles Sanders of Sanders Coaches. Hemp cut the ribbon and was presented with a Lego kit of a double-decker bus in recognition of her favourite hobby away from the football pitch, which she documented on social media throughout the tournament. "Coming here and seeing so many people here is just unbelievable," she told ITV News Anglia. "It's so nice to see my home town supporting me as much as this. "It's only when you come back that you realise how much of a difference it's made." Two days before her 25th birthday, the crowd was encouraged to sing Happy Birthday to Hemp, and she was presented with gifts from the crowd after being introduced by North Walsham's town crier. Reflecting on the tournament win, Hemp said she was relieved that her team-mates managed to win the shoot-out before she was due to take a penalty. "Standing there in the penalty shoot-out was very nerve-racking. We managed to get the job done before I had to take a penalty, so that was a bonus. "After that long six weeks of preparing for it, it finally made the difference and we were able to lift the trophy."

Jorge Costa dead aged 53 as tributes pour in for Porto legend and Jose Mourinho's Champions League winning captain
Former defender Costa has died at the age of 53 after suffering a cardiac arrest at the club's training ground in Olival, according to reports Jorge Costa, Jose Mourinho 's Champions League-winning skipper at FC Porto in 2004, has passed away at the tender age of just 53. It's believed Costa, who served as Porto 's director of football, collapsed from a heart attack at the club's Olival training facility according to Portuguese reports. Costa began his footballing journey at Porto and made a remarkable 383 appearances for the club, claiming 24 honours during his time there - including that unforgettable Champions League victory in the 2003-04 season and the UEFA Cup triumph the previous year. He also enjoyed a stint in the Premier League after joining Charlton Athletic on loan during the 2001-02 season. The defender featured 26 times for the Addicks under manager Alan Curbishley. Following his departure from Porto, Costa went on to manage several European sides before returning to his beloved club as director of football last year, reports the Mirror. Porto announced his passing on Tuesday through a heartfelt message on Twitter, describing him as "a symbol" of the institution. "Jorge Costa has left us," their statement declared. "One of us, a leader, captain, example. A symbol of FC Porto. Thank you for being FC Porto until the end. Forever, Jorge Costa." Tributes immediately flooded in from across Portuguese football, with Porto's city rivals Sporting Lisbon also honouring Costa's memory. Their tribute read: "Sporting Clube de Portugal expresses its sorrow for the passing of Jorge Costa, football director of FC Porto and former Portuguese international." Sporting Clube de Portugal has expressed its profound sorrow at the passing of a notable figure in FC Porto and Portuguese football, extending its deepest sympathies to his loved ones. Liga Portugal also conveyed its heartfelt condolences to Costa's family, highlighting the ex-player's "fighting spirit and leadership". The statement read: "In this moment of grief, Liga Portugal extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, FC Porto, and all those who shared his passion for football. Rest in peace." Mourinho reminisced warmly about an incident with Costa, illustrating his remarkable impact as Porto's captain. The former Chelsea manager recounted: "I had captains who were not leaders. I had one at Porto, Jorge Costa. One day, we were losing a match against a team called Belenenses, we were down 2-0 at halftime. "I was walking to the locker room, and everyone saw I was furious. "When I was about to enter, Jorge Costa told me, 'Wait outside for two minutes, please.' He went in, closed the door, and did the dirty work for me. "Then he opened the door and said, 'Coach us.' Because in the locker room, he did everything I would have done. "We won 3-2. He was a centre-back, had never scored goals in his life; that day, he scored two. Captain and leader are very different things. "You can't buy leaders. You can't manufacture leaders. And when you have them, your team is one step ahead."

Absolutely fur-bulous! 90 years in pet care with a tail-wagging paw-ty for Battersea's oldest residents
A pet care specialist is marking 90 years in the business by hosting a heartwarming "paw-ty" for senior dogs this August – the universal birthday for shelter dogs. While also behind well-loved snacking and food brands, Maltesers, Galaxy, Ben's Original and Skittles, Mars first ventured into pet care in 1935 with the acquisition of UK-based Chappell Brothers, the maker of Chappie canned dog food. Since then, Mars has grown into one of the world's most trusted names in pet care. Throughout the 1950s and '60s, the company expanded its pet offerings with pet food brands such as Pedigree, Whiskas and Sheba while establishing the pioneering Waltham Petcare Science Institute. Mars has spent nearly a century delivering science-backed nutrition, veterinary care, and innovation through its iconic brands. Caring for the nations' dogs, cats, horses, and even fish, the business has a love for pets that runs deep throughout its 90-year history. That's why, as Mars marks this impressive milestone, the company has chosen to celebrate with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home VIPs (very important pooches), as a joyful reminder that great things come with age. The event saw spritely Sue, Battersea's nine-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, mark her special day surrounded by decorations, treats, friends, tail wags, and fellow senior pup Gioia, a 10-year-old Maltese, who brought an extra touch of senior sparkle as the two enjoyed the celebrations side by side. The celebration spotlighted all the love senior pets can give. Each year, many older pets arrive and stay at UK shelters, often overlooked in favour of puppies and kittens. In fact, a recent Mars Global Pet Parent Study of more than 20,000 people revealed that only 16% of dogs and cats acquired globally are over the age of one. Despite this, new research commissioned by Mars reveals that it's not just puppy love, with UK adults most likely to associate senior dogs with loyalty (50%) and a loving nature (41%). Meanwhile, a third believe senior dogs to be gentle (33%) and trusting (32%). In fact, four fifths (80%) of UK adults who have sadly lost a pet believe that the emotional bond with their pet grew stronger over time, while another 64% believe that their pet understood them better as they aged – with almost half (47%) considering adopting a senior pet. Speaking about the celebrations, Nick Foster, general manager for Mars Pet Nutrition UK, Ireland, and Nordics, said: 'For 90 years, we've championed the well-being of pets, from dogs and cats to horses and even fish! "As we reflect on nine decades of wagging tails and nourished bellies, and mark DOGust, it felt only natural to work with our long-term partners at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. "We're proud to feed all the dogs and cats in Battersea's care and together, on Mars 90th anniversary in pet care, we're shining a light on our shared mission: helping pets of all ages find their forever homes, and celebrating the joy, companionship and wellbeing they bring to people's lives.' With Global data from the Mars' State of Pet Homelessness Project revealing that nearly one in three dogs and cats are homeless, Mars Petcare is continuing its works with Battersea, and shelters across the world, to raise awareness and end pet homelessness, for dogs and cats of all ages. Jay McGuinness, rehoming and welfare manager at Battersea said: 'Senior dogs, despite their age, still have a lot of love and affection to give, and Battersea works to find them suitable homes for their twilight years. "That's why we are delighted to be celebrating Mars 90th anniversary in pet care by honouring these golden oldies and raising awareness of just how wonderful older pets can be, and all the love they have to give. "Our partnership with Mars, now in its 17th year, has been instrumental - not only providing the animals in our care with the nutrition and care they need, but also through shared initiatives that help more pets find the loving homes they deserve.' Dr Tammie King, animal behaviour scientist at Waltham Petcare Science Institute, part of the Petcare business at Mars, added: 'Senior pets are often overlooked but make excellent companions. They just need a few adjustments to thrive - tailored nutrition, regular vet check-ups, gentle exercise, and above all, lots of care and understanding. They have so much to give!' As an expert in pet behaviour and welfare, and Human-Animal Interactions (HAI), Mars' Dr Tammie King shared her top five tips for helping senior pets thrive – making sure their golden years are the best ones yet! Adapt diets throughout life stages: Growing puppies, fully grown adults and senior dogs all have differing nutritional needs to stay as healthy as possible Old dogs can (and should) learn new tricks: Just like humans, as our pets age they can show age-related cognitive impairment – affecting memory, learning ability, perception and awareness. But regular training and games can help keep their minds sharp Let's get physical! Exercise is crucial for senior dogs' physical and mental wellbeing. Regular low intensity walks can be a great way to help manage weight, maintain muscle mass, and reduce the risk of behavioural problems associated with boredom Don't overlook dental care: Older dogs are more prone to dental issues, which can affect how much and how they eat and how they feel Enjoy the little moments! It's normal for a dog to gradually slow down with age Mars 90th anniversary Paw‑ty forms part of the company's longstanding partnership with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home which is rooted in a shared commitment to improving the lives of pets, spanning initiatives like food donations and supporting nutritional training of staff. More recently, both organisations have been jointly campaigning to have pet provisions included in the Renters Rights Bill, to improve access to pet-friendly housing across the private-rented sector so more people can experience the joy, and benefits pets can bring.
