'Star's death' and 'farms turn to hosting weddings '
Here is our daily pick of stories from across local websites in the West of England, and interesting content from social media on Thursday 29 May. The news that four police officers were attacked after disorder in Midsomer Norton performed well for Somerset Live. It was reported to have happened during a gathering of 200 school leavers. Avon and Somerset Police said its officers were "pushed, punched, and spat at" by "a small number of people" there. A complaint about people smoking in the no-smoking zones outside Bristol Airport is picking up traction this morning for Bristol Live. And this footage of a woman abusing a dog, which was captured on a doorbell camera, was one of the top posts for Bristol Live. The woman from Portishead has been given a suspended prison sentence. Paul Danan died by 'misadventure' after taking drugs 'We make more money from weddings now than farming' Nurse struck off after supermarket toilet filming Cheltenham festival 2000 Trees has confirmed Irish language hip-hop group Kneecap will remain as one of its headliners. It comes after Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs in the band under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence by the Metropolitan Police after an alleged incident in London in November last year. Elsewhere, a former nurse at the Royal United Hospital in Bath is turning 100. Bertha has no close family nearby and so the hospital has joined Bloomfield Care Centre, where she lives, to appeal for birthday cards. A picture in the Stroud Area Photos group showing staff who worked at the old jam factory in Stonehouse about 100 years ago has also proved popular. And finally, an update from Swindon Borough Council on Highworth Golf Course and options for its future has prompted plenty of comments on the authority's Facebook page.
