Drone warning over Buxton WW2 Lancaster bomber flyover
"The drones are a worry," Mr Hilton said."We want the skies over the town to be clear so we don't endanger the plane, the pilots or the people on the ground."Weather permitting, the Lancaster should should be doing two circuits of the town and we should be able to enjoy hearing its four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines booming."The Civil Aviation Authority has issued a NOTAM (Notice to Aviation) of the Lancaster flyover in order to keep the airspace clear.

Full-backs and future stars: the issues facing Lionesses before World Cup bid
The shiny ticker-tape had not even been cleared from the pitch at St Jakob-Park when the gauntlet was thrown down. As England celebrated their Euro 2025 triumph, King Charles wrote on the royal family's Instagram account: 'Well done, Lionesses. The next is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!' No pressure, then. The short-term future for England players will centre around two things; a holiday – unless you are a National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) player like Jess Carter, who had to fly straight back to the US to play club football – and more accolades, the latest of which came on Friday as the National Football Museum announced every squad member and Sarina Wiegman will all be inducted into their Hall of Fame. More awards will surely follow but, eventually, everyone will catch up with the King's mindset and focus attention on 2027. Having become the first senior England football team to win a major trophy overseas, and the first to defend a title, the next obstacle to overcome is to win the nation's first Women's World Cup, with the next tournament to be staged in Brazil as it heads to South America for the first time. The Lionesses have come very close, reaching the semi-finals in 2015 and 2019 before losing 2023's final, and their retained status as European champions will see many tipping them for glory in a couple of years. But how will this team evolve before then and what is there for all concerned to ponder? Wiegman's team now enters a new era as they say farewell to her long-serving assistant Arjan Veurink, often hailed as key to their tactical success, as he heads off to become the Netherlands head coach. Geraint Twose, also part of Wiegman's backroom team for both of their Euro-winning campaigns, is also moving on to take up a new position as England's lead transition coach, supporting players in the youth pathway. Arriving from the Netherlands are Janneke Bijl and Arvid Smit, and it will be interesting to see how, if at all, England's style changes with them in place. Lucy Bronze has made it clear she wants to play at the next World Cup. She will be 35-and-three-quarters when the tournament comes around and while her experience, leadership skills and mentality will ensure she is still England's first-choice right-back if fit, the Lionesses need a plan B, just in case sports science discovers an injury so severe that she cannot play through it, unlike a seemingly minor problem of a – checks notes – fractured tibia at the Euros. England had the Manchester United captain, Maya Le Tissier, waiting in the wings this summer, someone Wiegman sees as a right-back despite the fact she has played every match for her club at centre-back. Also in contention is Tottenham's Ella Morris, who has impressed at right-back through England's youth teams but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in May. England have been without a consistently selected left-back for a generation, with no one making that position their own since the centurion Rachel Unitt more than a decade ago. Alex Greenwood did well in that position against Spain but she commonly plays at centre-back for Manchester City, and that is where Wiegman had intended to play the 31-year-old before the tournament began. Niamh Charles, who also played well when called upon from the bench, will be another option, but she will want to start more games for Chelsea between now and the World Cup.

Chloe Kelly's standing will also continue to rise, while Wiegman will be keen to give more opportunities to the technically gifted midfielders Grace Clinton and Jess Park, both of whom played prominent roles during the recent Nations League campaigns. World champions Spain will be a huge threat in Brazil, as will the hosts, who have been in good form and reached the Olympic final last year. The US, managed by Emma Hayes, will probably be the favourites, while the younger generation of stars breaking through with Germany and France will see them in contention too. Japan, who played some eye-catching football during their victory over the United States in the SheBelieves Cup in California in February, will also be a threat. England's qualifying campaign begins next year.

Luton Airport's inflatables recycling scheme takes off
Holidaymakers will be able to pick up free airbeds and other inflatables before they fly as part of an airport's new recycling Luton Airport (LLA) has launched the "Lilo Exchange" to encourage the items to be reused and keep them out of holidaymakers are being encouraged to drop off the unwanted items when they land at the airport for the use of people about to Armstrong, head of guest experience, said the aim was to "provide a fun way to encourage people to travel more responsibly by bringing back unwanted inflatables, so that other holidaymakers jetting off from LLA can do the same". Each summer, holidaymakers leave millions of tonnes of plastic waste at their destinations, with inflatables one of the most frequently discarded commissioned by the airport found that in the past year, more than half (51%) of holidaymakers have purchased a new inflatable to take on holiday. However, many never make it home, as they are ditched after just eight days, on survey found the reasons for this included limited suitcase space, punctures, a lack of opportunity to use at home and the chore of scheme, to include everything from lilos and rubber rings and inflatable dolphins or crocodiles, will run until 14 holidaymakers are being offered a free fast-track security pass for their next journey as an incentive to donate their unwanted Armstrong said it was "a fun and environmentally responsible way to highlight our simple and friendly passenger experience".

I tried Ottolenghi's new ice cream — but what did my kids think?
There's no preserved lemon nor even a sprinkle of sumac in Yotam Ottolenghi's latest culinary creation. But it's still likely to cause a stir — and queues in the freezer aisle. This is because the chef who brought Middle Eastern spices, burnt aubergines and 27-step recipes to Britain's dinner parties has launched a range of supermarket ice cream. Of course, there's nothing vanilla about Ottolenghi's heatwave-friendly frozen treats: even the Madagascan vanilla flavour is swirled with salted miso caramel. Then there's roasted pistachio and sour cherry swirl as well as coffee and cardamom. They are £6 for a 480ml tub — a smidgen more than the close to £5.75 price tag for a tub of Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's — and will be sold in Waitrose from Monday.
