Horse retiring after 10 years of police service
A horse is set to retire after 10 years of volunteer service in the police. Sarah Hills has been a mounted volunteer in Suffolk Police for the past decade and has had her horse Robbie by her side during countryside patrols. The pair won their second national award at a ceremony last year. She said 10 years was a "real milestone for us" because she did not know of any other horse serving for that long. "It's been an amazing journey - from doing BBC Crimewatch all the way to just manning the countryside," said Ms Hills. "He is such a good horse, he is very placid and he loves being in the public eye." Mounted volunteers at Suffolk Police are asked to be a visible presence in rural communities, acting as a point of contact and to report suspicious activity such as anti-social behaviour and criminal damage. Robbie has played a key role in local fundraising efforts and supported road safety awareness through campaigns with the British Horse Society.

Robbie Williams teases Glastonbury performance 30 years after his infamous first visit
It's been suggested that Robbie Williams could be making an appearance at Glastonbury, 30 years after the singer left Take That and headed to Worthy Farm for a wild weekend of partying with Oasis. Posting on Instagram this morning, the singer shared an image of a tongue-in-cheek blue plaque that has been posted in the festival's hospitality area to mark the three-decade milestone of his trip. '1995. Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation, or alignment with prevailing taste. His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable,' reads the plaque. There's no indication that Robbie is actually on site, but the plaque hasn't stopped fans from speculating about whether a performance could be on the cards. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Robbie Williams (@robbiewilliams) 'Can't cope soooooo excited please please please,' wrote one fan on Instagram. Another said: 'If it already being Friday wasn't enough to pop a smile on your face… we get this!! How exciting.' Williams' trip to the festival in 1995 saw him wearing a distinctive red tracksuit with white stripes, which has become the cover image for his new album Britpop. He also played the event in 1998. Reviewing Robbie's show at the Emirates Stadium earlier this month, we hailed it as 'one of the most thrilling stadium shows of the year'. Today marks day three of Glastonbury 2025, with The 1975 headlining the festival for the first time ever this evening. Check back at for all the latest news.

Robbie Williams drops major hint he's making surprise Glastonbury appearance
Robbie Williams has convinced fans he's planning a surprise set at Glastonbury. The Rock DJ hitmaker, who is in the midst of his Britpop summer tour, has got everyone talking after sharing a photo of a new plaque commemorating his wild weekend partying with Liam Gallagher at Worthy Farm in 1995. He shared a photo of the tongue in cheek plaque, which reads: 'Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation, or alignment with prevailing taste. 'His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable.' What really got the rumour mill going even more was his caption, as he teased: '30 YEARS LATER… 🕵️♂️' Not surprisingly, fans have gone wild at the idea, particularly with a 30-min slot unaccounted for on the Pyramid stage at 4:55pm this afternoon. 'I dare yaaaaa! 🙈😂 I know there is a massive chance you are on the wind up but would be so iconic 💫,' wrote @LeanneP18604 on X, as @JayStill4 asked: '30 years later blue plaque in the backstage area Is @robbiewilliams the secret act this year?' Another fan, @Sophia_dreams58, gave him the Sunday name treatment, replying: 'ROBERT ARE YOU AT GLASTO 😱 (sic)' Meanwhile, @jame_2206 pondered: 'So… What's going on? Glasto-post, he's free today (Belgium is tomorrow) and this strange TBA slot on today's lineup (although time and duration are a bit odd).' Over on Instagram, people were loving that Robbie dropped hints of a new guitar-heavy song Spies on the post. Haim, Pulp, Lewis Capaldi and The Wombats are also among those rumoured for a potential secret set. The former Take That star has only played Glastonbury once before, when he graced the Pyramid Stage in 1998, belting out the likes of Let Me Entertain You, Lazy Days, Live Thru A Lens and Angels. Three years earlier, Robbie and then-pal Liam reportedly spent a weekend together at Glastonbury shortly before he quit the boy band. 'I went to Glastonbury to begin what I didn't know was to be the start of my new life. When I was there, I hung out with this lot,' he said before playing Oasis hit Don't Look Back In Anger at London's O2 Arena in 2022. The friendship didn't last long after Liam's brother and bitter rival Noel Gallagher branded the Better Man star 'the fat dancer from Take That'. Robbie got his own back when he sent a wreath to the brothers after his 2003 concerts at Knebworth beat their record by selling out three shows in a row. A few years later, Liam started dating Nicole Appleton – who was Robbie's ex-girlfriend. More Trending During an appearance at the Brit Awards in 2000, the rivalry reached its peak when the Feel singer cheekily offered to fight the Don't Look Back In Anger star for £100,000. Now, he's on his Britpop summer stint to promote his album of the same name right as the Gallagher brothers are about to start their own reunion tour. Never change, Robbie. Got a story?
