Children in Wales take part in mass singalong for Euro 2025
The event, known as the Wales' Women's Euro Singalong 2025, took place on Wednesday, July 2, and involved 1,051 primary schools across Wales. It was organised by Urdd Gobaith Cymru in partnership with the Football Association of Wales, S4C, and Boom Cymru. Siân Lewis, chief executive of the Urdd, said: "The Urdd's #FelMerch campaign aims to inspire and empower young women and girls throughout the country, so we've jumped at the chance to show our support to the Welsh women's squad by arranging a nationwide singalong, with the help of our partners. "Our singalong is a fantastic opportunity for pupils at Welsh and English-medium schools alike to come together, be proud of their Welsh heritage, and feel part of the national football team's campaign." The event, held at 10:30am, gave primary school children the chance to celebrate and support the Welsh women's football team. Children sang a selection of Welsh songs, including a new anthem, Ymlaen (Onwards), written by singer-songwriter Caryl Parry Jones and producer Branwen Munn. Singer and presenter Aleighcia Scott, who appeared as a coach on S4C's Y Llais, said: "It's a momentous occasion for the Welsh women to be competing at the Euros for the first time, and I can't wait to take part in the Urdd's singalong to celebrate this historical moment and bring Welsh children along on the journey. "It's been an amazing journey for me learning Welsh so far, and taking part in events like the Urdd's singalong makes me feel like the Welsh language does belong to me, and it can belong to all the children of Wales too." In Lucerne, Switzerland, where Wales will play their opening game, the Urdd is also showcasing contemporary Welsh folk talent as part of its #FelMerch campaign. The campaign aims to inspire and empower young women and girls to stay active and overcome barriers to participation in sport. The Urdd will also host a National Female #FelMerch Sports Conference at Cardiff City Stadium on November 13 as part of the tournament's legacy. The event follows the success of previous conferences designed to support and empower women and girls through sport. The Urdd's Euro 2025 projects are supported by the Welsh Government's Euro 2025 Partner Support Fund.

Oasis fan shows off huge reunion tattoo 12 hours after they came off stage
One Oasis fan went to extreme measures to become what he hopes is the first person to get a tattoo of the reunion tour after selecting a legendary first night image from Cardiff An Oasis mega fan wasted no time getting the tattoo of his dreams - hours after an iconic photo of the band's comeback was taken. The diehard was so desperate to mark the reunion that he had booked in to get inked the morning after their first performance in Cardiff. It is understood to be the first Oasis tour tattoo and the fan, identified only as Wayne, was determined to make his choice something special. Picking the moment once-warring bothers Liam and Noel Gallagher embraced in front of the crowd on opening night, a photo of the cuddle was swiftly transformed into a leg tattoo. Artist Alfie Ware showed off his incredible work on his Instagram page, and it's fair to say it went down a storm. "Wrapped up the last piece of Wayne's Oasis leg sleeve this morning, this shot's from their first gig back together last night," he wrote on his page, which displays some of the tats undertaken at Studio S2 in Alvechurch, Worcestershire. "Probably the first to get this photo tattooed as we started it 12 hours after it was taken. Was an absolute pleasure." Alfie's followers were understandably impressed by his attention to detail, and the image Wayne had selected. "That was so quick!" one told him. Another of the group's fans put: "Would get that exact sleeve myself!" Everyone concerned hopes the ink stands the test of time - and there's no big sibling fall out. When Liam and Noel took to the stage in Cardiff walking out hand in hand, it was a sight many of their original fans thought they would never see in their lifetime - so in order to maintain their amicable reunion, it has emerged that the brothers were advised to stay in separate hotels for the first gig of their world tour, in a desperate bid to avoid a clash. The brothers, who are famed for their volatile relationship, were placed in hotels half an hour away from each other. According to The Sun on Sunday, the famous duo skipped partying after their first night in the Welsh city and were driven away from the Principality Stadium at approximately 10.30pm. A source told the publication: "The atmosphere was absolutely electric and Liam and Noel were delighted with the first night. They were a bit shell-shocked." They added: "It went better than anyone could have imagined. The lead up has all been carefully orchestrated, as everyone knows how delicate and fragile Liam and Noel's relationship is." The insider close to the band continued: "They don't want to over-expose themselves to each other. Having separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space." They explained: "They stayed in separate locations outside the city around half an hour away from each other." "They're happy families at the moment and they want to keep it that way. Liam has been off the booze for a while and sounds better than ever," they added. According to the source, Liam is determined to get eight hours sleep a night and is steering clear of alcohol and partying. Fans were left in awe as the band, who were once synonymous with the stereotypical rock and roll lifestyle, belted out their iconic hits including Wonderwall, Stand By Me, Live Forever and Half The World Away. And it seems a contributing factor in Liam's clean living lifestyle is his partner Debbie Gwyther. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

The source continued: "Debbie protects him from all the hype so he doesn't get carried away. They've swapped out Guinness for zero per cent alcohol beers and keep the vibe backstage as chilled as possible." Partying in the crows were Noel's daughter Anais, 25 and her mum Meg Matthews, 59. Liam's sons Lennon, 25 and Gene, 24, were also at Friday's gig. It has been reported that the Cardiff gig was emotional for their children who never thought the day would arrive when they would see their dad on stage as Oasis. And Anais was reportedly a "driving force in helping to reunite the brothers who at the time showed no intention of making the peace.

Ricky Hatton unable to attend his own comeback announcement after being injured by sunglasses at Oasis gig
Hatton has been told not to fly as a result of the injury HATT TO STAY BEHIND Ricky Hatton unable to attend his own comeback announcement after being injured by sunglasses at Oasis gig RICKY HATTON was unable to attend his own comeback announcement after being injured by his SUNGLASSES watching Oasis. British boxing great Hatton will make an Oasis-like comeback in December to fight Eisa Aldah in Dubai. 2 Ricky Hatton with his son Campbell and friends at the Oasis gig Credit: @campbellhatton The 46-year-old Manchester legend - who was in Cardiff on Friday night to see his old pals reunite - had his last professional bout in 2012. But the City super-fan - who was walked to the ring by Noel and Liam for his 2008 win over Paulie Malignaggi - will slide between the ropes once again - 13 years later - to grab a punching pension pot in the desert. The Gallagher brothers made their triumphant return this weekend after 16 years away and almost as many fights between them as on Hatton's 45-3 record. The Hitman's opponent, 46-year-old Aldah, was the Gulf's first ever professional fighter. READ MORE IN BOXING HATT'S OUT THE BAG Hatton, 46, OUT of retirement after 13 years for huge December 2 bout But, between 2008-2009, he won three fights in Welsh boxing backwaters of Newport and Merthyr Tydfil. Hatton was due to fly out to Dubai this week to star in Sunday night's big-money launch press conference. But he suffered an eye injury on his designer sunglasses at the Oasis reunion gig and was not cleared to travel until the injury heals. The adored two-weight world champion struggled with depression and addiction following crushing defeats - at the backend of a legendary career - against Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

The brilliant body puncher hit the headlines last month when he appeared with a shock skinhead. But the working-class hero revealed he had braved the shave to support the Brain House Children's Hospice. The Guinness-loving lad explained: 'Head shaved for @brianhousech. 'Won't be keeping the skinhead but it raised a right few quid for charity. So I'm more than happy to stomach it.'
