6Pa, we are so proud of you7 SunTHE Monday, May 8, 2023 GOD SAVE THE KING! 80p thesun.co.uk – PRINCE WILLIAM LAST NIGHT SOUVENIR EDITION CORONATION CONCERT CROWNS A HISTORIC CELEBRATION

I know Grandma’s up there keeping an eye on us all PRINCE William took to the stage at last night’s star-studded Coronation concert and paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth. To huge cheers from a delighted 20,000-strong crowd he said of his grandma: “I know she’s up there, fondly keeping an eye on us.” He added: “She would be a proud mother” as he described his family’s collective pride in King Charles — his “Pa”. Wills also pledged to “serve” as he stepped into his father’s shoes as the Prince of Wales. Millions of viewers in 100 countries worldwide were watching last night and William gave a “huge thank you” to “everyone for making this such a special evening”. A sea of Union Jacks was on show for the spectacular gig in front of Windsor Castle. On a awesome night of uplifting and moving performances, viewers were also treated to some stunning visual images. The incredible music festival was backed by a world-class 70-piece orchestra on the 95m-wide superstructure far bigger than the stages used for other historic occasions such as Live Aid and the Platinum and Jubilee celebrations. The 25m-tall structure was powered by 33 miles of cable, and boasted 800 lights and a 52m-wide circular screen. Giant 13m catwalks at the diagonals created a Union Jack shape — allowing fans to be closer to the A-list performers. Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, joined VIPs including the Princess of Wales, 41, Princess Charlotte, eight, and nine-year-old – WILLIAM, PRINCE OF WALES THE CORONATION E CORONATION PRINCE HAILS CE HAILS Ride the wave . .

TOP GUN AND POP FUN: PAGES 4 & 5 Good evening, Your Majesties. Good evening, Windsor! A huge thank you to everyone for making this such a special evening. I want to say a few words about my father, and why I believe this weekend is so important. But don’t worry, unlike Lionel, I won’t go on all night long. As my grandmother said when she was crowned, coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future. And I know she’s up there, fondly keeping an eye on us. She would be a proud mother. For all that celebrations are magnificent, at the heart of the pageantry is a simple message: Service. My father’s first words on entering Westminster Abbey yesterday were a pledge of service. It was a pledge to continue to serve. Because for over 50 years, in every corner of the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world, he has dedicated himself to serve others, both current and future generations, and those whose memory must not be neglected. Take the natural world. He warned us of the risks to our planet’s health long before it was an everyday issue. Or the Prince’s Trust. It has supported over a million young people, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, to realise their ambitions. And, perhaps most importantly of all, my father has always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds, and all communities, deserve to be celebrated and supported. Pa, we are all so proud of you. I also want to express my pride and gratitude for the millions of people who serve, in the forces, in classrooms, hospital wards and local communities. I wish I could mention you all. Your service inspires us, And tonight we celebrate you too. I commit myself to serve you all. King, Country and Commonwealth. God Save The King! 6 7 WILLIAM’S SPEECH Prince George in the Royal Box on the Berkshire castle’s incredible East Lawn. But this time Prince Louis, five, stayed at home as it was past his bedtime. Lionel Richie had the royal party up dancing to All Night Long. Spectators were singing, waving flags and raising illuminated mobile phones as he performed. They continued to bop along as Katy Perry and Take That ensured the party night — hosted by Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville — had a rip-roaring finale. Charles’ love of the arts was reflected in a wide range of acts and performances — with prerecorded sketches and tributes from an array of stars mixed in. Charles had watched on proudly as his son paid tribute to the fact he has been campaigning for a greener world since the 1960s. William told the show: “Take the natural world. He warned us of the risks to our planet’s health long before it was an everyday issue. “Or the Prince’s Trust. It has supported over a million young people, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, to realise their ambitions. “And, perhaps most importantly of all, my father has always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds, and all communities deserve to be celebrated and supported.” To further huge cheers, William said: “Pa, we are all so proud of you.” A string of royals were out in force for the concert including shamed Prince Andrew. His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson also joined the party as one of the VIPs after failing to secure an invite to the Abbey. Daughters Eugenie and Beatrice, with partners Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were there too. Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips and partner Lindsay Wallace attended, alongside Peter’s two daughters Isla and Savannah. Anne’s daughter Zara and husband Mike Tindall were also there. Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, flanked by children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, waved at pals as they took their seats. Other VIPs to join the box included PM Rishi Sunak and wife Akshata Murty — who sat behind William and Kate. Deputy PM Oliver Dowden and wife Blythe were there, as was Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer with wife Victoria. Prince Harry was missing after flying back to California just hours after the Westminster Abbey service to celebrate son Archie’s fourth birthday. Onlookers at last night’s gig said it was a night to remember. A dazzling display of drones formed images including a clematis flower and a multi-coloured buttefly in the night sky. In a nod to the King’s wildlife campaign they created a stunning whale, which had the crowd gasping. Robyn Kelly, 56, said: “I nearly burst into tears at the whale. It was extraordinary. It’s incredible. It was better than fireworks.” Primary school teacher Beth Irving, 28, from Uxbridge, came with mum Sian, from Liverpool. Sian, a nurse, said: “It’s great. We’ve had such a great time. The atmosphere was amazing. The whole weekend has been amazing and quite magical.” [email protected] DAD IN MOVING TRIBUTE D IN MOVING TRIBUTE Whale to the King . . . drone light display above stage and, inset, Prince William 2GM Monday, May 8, 2023 ...............3

THE CORONATION E CORONATION Tom: Your Majesty can be my wingman any time Top fun . . . Tom Cruise pilots his P-51 Mustang in video with a personal message for Charles By MATT WILKINSON, Royal Editor, THOMAS GODFREY and JOE HADDEN TOP Gun star Tom Cruise saluted King Charles as his “wingman” at last night’s stunning Windsor Castle coronation party. The real-life flier, 60, appeared in a pre-recorded video of him piloting his P-51 Mustang. It was shown during a concert on the castle’s east lawn featuring Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie — plus Miss Piggy and Kermit. Cruise — Maverick in the films — paid tribute to King Charles, who trained as an RAF pilot before joining the Royal Navy to fly helicopters and ending his military career in 1976. Cruise declared: “Pilot to pilot. Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time.” High-flying Katy Perry, in a spectacular low-cut gold gown, wowed the crowd from the biggest stage ever seen in Britain with hits Roar and Firework, while Kate and William waved Union Jacks in the crowd. Katy said: “Thanks for having me. Thanks for bringing out the firework in so many young people.” Take That delivered a fitting finale with their performances of Greatest Day, Shine and Never Forget, featuring an intro from The Choristers of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. Earlier, Muppets Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy made a surprise appearance for a sketch with host Hugh Bonneville. Referring to his Downton Abbey role, Miss Piggy was ecstatic to meet a “real lord” and suggested she could become his Lady. The pair left, but not before proclaiming “King Charlesywarlsey” was expecting them. Other collaborations included Maestro Andrea Bocelli and Sir Bryn Terfel, who sang You’ll Never Walk Alone. The Windsor crowd went wild as Lionel Richie launched into Easy before getting the King on his feet with All Night Long. Also dancing along in the royal box was Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Paloma Faith sang Lullaby while Alexis Ffrench and Zak Abel performed 1980s Simple Minds hit Don’t You Forget About Me. In a tribute to the King’s green campaigning, fashion designer Stella McCartney told the audience: “His Majesty has been shining a spotlight on conservation and protecting our planet for 50 years now. “He champions hope and action and in that hopeful spirit on this happy day the work of healing our planet should be and must be the cause that unites us, never the cause that divides us. “ Amid it all, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet starred discussing The King’s love of red squirrels in a cartoon. The bear said: “Christopher Robin told me His Majesty loves red squirrels so much he sometimes gives them names and lets them into his house. “I believe the squirrels are rather fond of His Majesty too.” Towns and cities around the country were treated to spectacular displays as ten locations were CRUISE CAMEO E CAMEO Pictures: ARTHUR EDWARDS, DOUG SEEBURG, YUI MOK, CHRIS JACKSON 4 ...............

SING OF THE By THOMAS GODFREY and JOE HADDEN A GALAXY of stars shone at Windsor Castle last night as a crowd of 20,000 marvelled at the King’s Coronation Concert and millions watched globally. Nicole Scherzinger dazzled as she sang a hit from Disney classic Mulan — admitting it made her “feel like a real-life Disney Princess”. The Royal Family watched from on high as a night of scintillating entertainment — beamed to 100 countries — unfolded, interspersed with facts about the King revealed by famous names. Hugh Bonneville was a host and had Charles laughing by referring to the keen painter as “the artist formerly known as Prince”. His introduction was followed by a barnstorming performance by X Factor star Olly Murs singing Dance With Me Tonight. A 300-strong Coronation Choir, conducted by Gareth Malone and made up of NHS workers, deaf singers and community groups, performed an uplifting version of the Emeli Sande song Brighter Days. That was followed Scherzinger, whose rendition of Reflection was backed by pianist Lang Lang. Next came a performance of Somewhere from West Side Story featuring forthcoming Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa and Mei Mac. The crowd were then stunned as Lucy Illingworth, 13 — the blind and neurodiverse winner of Channel 4 talent show The Piano — played a perfect Bach prelude. Pop legend Steve Winwood led a virtual choir from Commonwealth countries in his 1986 smash hit Higher Love. In video segment, acting greats Hugh Jackman and Joan Collins revealed the King had a talent for the stage, while Tom Jones outlined his music ability and Oti Mabuse praised his dancing prowess. Artist Tracey Emin hailed his skill as a water-colourist while magician Dynamo surprised many by revealing the monarch is member of the Magic Circle. Author Giovanna Fletcher highlighted the King’s writing efforts, including the 1980 children’s book The Old Man of Lochnagar. thomas.godfrey @the-sun.co.uk Nicole & Olly get gig off to a belting start THE CORONATION E CORONATION POP FAVES WOW P FAVES WOW Dance night . . .

ONLY HEIR FOR THE BEER By JULIA ATHERLEY, ELEANOR SHARPLES and ED SOUTHGATE WILLIAM and Kate made a surprise appearance at a huge Coronation street party yesterday — and was given a beer called Return of The King. The Prince and Princess of Wales delighted hundreds of families by gatecrashing their Big Lunch picnics ahead of last night’s concert. Cries of God Save The King erupted and flags waved as the royal couple arrived just before 2pm on the Long Walk in Windsor and posed for selfies and chatted with fans. William looked pleased to be handed a can of the celebration ale, which was made using organic barley grown at the royal farm in Windsor and named in honour of his father’s big day. He was also impressed by the Purple Reign gin made by Dion English, 54. Dion said: “I feel amazing that he tried my gin. He said it was very nice and he said, ‘Kate, try this’. He took the Return of the King beer and said he’s going to ask his dad if he’s tried it.” The visit left fans thrilled. Sue Watson, 54, said: “I wasn’t expecting this at all though. It was lovely, really lovely.” Kate, wearing a pale blue blazer and navy trousers, joked that her white Vega trainers would not stay white for long walking through the mud after the rain on Saturday. One little girl was in tears when meeting her. Kate asked, “Do you want a hug?”, with the emotional youngster responding, “Yes please”. The Prince and Princess also met Lindsey Brummitt from the Eden Project, which organises the annual Big Lunch and which this year was tied in with celebrations for the Coronation. Lindsey said: “It was so lovely of them to take time out of their busy day to come down.” Meanwhile, Princess Anne visited a Coronation Big Lunch event in Swindon with husband Sir Tim Laurence. The Princess Royal greeted a young girl — who presented her with a commemorative tin of vintage coins — as part of the festivities. Anne, 72, will spend today’s volunteering day — the Big Help Out — at a service of thanksgiving at Gloucester Cathedral. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie proved a hit during their surprise afternoon visit to a street party in Chalfont St Giles, Bucks. Many wished Eugenie good luck on the birth of her second child and she was heard saying: “It’s literally three weeks.” julia.atherley@ the-sun.co.uk Wills & Kate cheers with crowd ROYAL COUPLE SURP AL COUPLE SURP CHALFONT ST GILES THE CORONATION E CORONATION Thirst in line . . .

RED, WHITE & YOU: PAGES 10 & 11 LE SURPRISE STREET PARTY DOWNING STREET LUCKY Sun readers enjoyed a right royal knees-up yesterday. We gave 15 prizes of £1,000 to help towards their Coronation parties. They came from The National Lottery, in partnership with The Coronation Big Lunch. Retired aircraft engineer Graham Alford, 70, and wife Susan, 68, held a garden party for 20 family and friends in Slough, Berks. He said: “The money helped us out no end so we could celebrate the Coronation in style.” Widow Brian Spence, 82, and neighbour Pam Moonan, 52, hosted a bash in Yateley, Hants. Meanwhile, staff at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust won £5,000 of Morrisons party grub in a Sun on Sunday competition. OUR STREET PARTY WINNERS JILL Biden was the star guest at Rishi Sunak’s big Coronation lunch in Downing Street. The US First Lady joined the PM, his wife, Akshata Murty, and their two daughters. Ms Biden and granddaughter Finnegan were among dozens of invitees tucking into coronation quiches, sausage rolls and smoked salmon in the sun. And Ms Biden, whose husband, Joe, did not attend, even enjoyed a spot of tea with the PM from a King Charles III mug. Downing Street was decked out in Union flags and the Sunaks’ dog Nova wore a red, white and blue bandana. Guests, including Ukrainians in the UK under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, ate off famed Emma Bridgewater crockery while enjoying music from the RAF Northolt brass quintet.

lSTREET PARTIES UP AND DOWN UK By THOMAS GODFREY and JOE HADDEN TEN million royal fans turned the streets red, white and blue yesterday in a joyful nationwide celebration of King Charles’ Coronation. Patriotic people up and down the country enjoyed picnics on roads and in community centres, village and church halls to mark the monarch’s crowning. A record 67,000 Big Lunch events — 50,000 more than for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee — brought together all faiths and backgrounds in a moment of national pride. Some 80 locals gathered at a 60ft table to feast on food from all parts in St Cuthberts Road in Kilburn, North West London. Morris dancers performed in Union Jack suits as locals sang patriotic songs beneath bunting, including 87-year-old John Rodgers who was enjoying his second coronation. He said: “Back in 1953, all I was interested in was how pretty Queen Elizabeth looked. I have enjoyed this one in a very different way.” Geoff Stilwell, 71, who played guitar for the numbers, said: “It’s amazing to see this neighbourly atmosphere. Only the Coronation could do something like this.” Organiser Kerstin Rodgers added: “I’ve lived here 23 years and I’ve met some neighbours for the first time today. Everyone here is from everywhere. They’ve all come with food from their cultures. It’s wonderful.” On Worcester Road in Colchester, Essex, meanwhile, Angie Fairbrother hosted a party for 250 residents. She said: “We throw a street party as part of the Big Lunch every year and this has been the busiest. “There are babies and people in their 80s. It’s so enjoyable and just creates a real community spirit.” Up in Burn, North Yorks, 150 locals crammed into a marquee where the decorations included a life-size recreation of The Gold State Coach — complete with horses and cut-outs of the King and Queen. Local Sheila Holmes, 79, said: “The parish has made a supreme effort and I’m proud. I thought the service yesterday was beautiful. It’s what we do best, being British.” In Blackpool, flags flew over the famous promenade as thousands took part in a massive Big Lunch. Dedicated royalist Margaret Shaw, on holiday from Scotland, said: “I was glued to the telly yesterday watching the Coronation, so today I’m going to enjoy the sunshine.” At the Eden Project in Cornwall, meanwhile, 200 guests shared a 32-inch Coronation quiche — a supersized, 65-egg version to the recipe personally chosen by King Charles. Peter Stewart, of the Eden Project, who came up with the idea of the Big Lunch in 2009, said: “Bringing people together to share such experiences over food and fun is crucial to building stronger, resilient communities, and we’re proud to have done just that.” thomas.godfrey @the-sun.co.uk THE CORONATION E CORONATION Treats . . . as crowds flock to the seaside LANCASHIRE MORE than 10,000 revellers — some in King Charles face masks — lined the seafront in Morecambe to celebrate the Coronation.

VANUATU LONDON WORLD JOINS CELEBRATIONS By NICK PARKER NATIONS worldwide celebrated King Charles’ Coronation — including South Pacific island Vanuatu where he may be venerated as a god. Up to 6,000 were expected to hold a party with dancing and local hooch at a flagraising event to mark the event. Residents of three villages, view his father, Prince Philip, as a god and believe he originally came from the island. Experts think they may switch allegiance to Charles now he is king, believing he may have inherited his father’s powers. Chief Johnson Iakapass said: “It will be a big celebration. This person is really meaningful.” Elsewhere, expats and others broke out the bunting in Australia, Canada, the UAE, Croatia, Madagascar, Cameroon and Thailand. In Cape Town, South Africa, royal fans gathered at the Waterfront tourist venue to enjoy the coverage. Hundreds watched in Quezon in the Philippines after the British Embassy organised a live stream.

PRINCE CAUGHT INCE CAUGHT lCHARLES RAISED A TOAST TO ARCHIE lLIPREADER SPOTS HARRY COMPLAINT PRINCE Harry was moaning as he prepared to watch his father’s crowning glory, according to a lip reader. He was apparently lamenting his life, muttering: “I’m fed up with the way they treat me.” The Duke of Sussex made the comment to Jack Brooksbank — his cousin Princess Eugenie’s husband — as they took up their positions in the third row, our expert said. He was back in his £11million pad in Montecito, California, yesterday after dashing home to celebrate son Archie’s fourth birthday having been in the UK for just over 24 hours. Only 15 minutes after the Coronation’s 1pm finish at Westminster Abbey, Harry got into a BMW and was driven 20 miles under police escort to Heathrow. There, he boarded a flight to Los Angeles to be reunited with wife Meghan, 41, Archie and 23-month-old daughter Lilibet. They were said to have enjoyed a “small, intimate gathering” and a lemon cake baked by the Duchess of Sussex using fruit from their garden. It emerged yesterday that the King raised a glass to toast Archie’s birthday at a family lunch after the Coronation — a tribute to the grandson he has barely seen. Sources said Harry, 38, was invited to the private palace gathering but declined. Most can’t see anything either, my crown will fall off.” Mr Freeman claimed that earlier, the anxious monarch had groaned, “We can never be on time” as he waited in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach in the rain ahead of his Coronation. Millions were glued to the TV on Saturday as Harry sat among the Royal Family for the first time since criticising Charles, Camilla, William and Kate in his memoir. His relationship with his brother, the Prince of Wales, remains deeply strained. The pair are not believed to have exchanged any words before or after the ceremony. Yesterday’s royal reception began with Prince William, 40, standing to congratulate his father on his date with destiny. The King thanked everyone in return and raised a glass to grandchildren Prince George, nine — who also served as a Page of Honour — Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-yearold Prince Louis. He then toasted “those that weren’t there” before poignantly wishing absent grandson Archie a very happy birthday “wherever he was”. A source said: “It was apparently a very sweet moment.” The Royal Family then tucked into canapés, including mini broad bean and tarragon Coronation quiches, and were offered champagne. The gathering was followed by a private family drinks party at Windsor Castle. [email protected] 10:42: ARRIVING AT THE ABBEY 12:05: CHATS WITH EUGENIE HUBBY EXCLUSIVE by PAUL SIMS FORMER England football captain David Platt mixed with well-wishers at Hyde Park for the Coronation. The ex-England ace, 56, joined thousands of royalists on Saturday to watch the King’s procession on big screens. He was spotted celebrating with his son by fan Michael Hiscox, 69, who recognised Platt from his days at Arsenal. Business owner Michael said: “I was walking along with everybody when I heard a distinctive voice. “I turned around and it was David Platt. I’ve always been a big fan of his, so it made my day. “I asked for a selfie and he said, ‘It’s nice to meet you’. He was so polite.” Platt was one of England’s most consistent performers in the early 90s. He racked up 62 caps and scored 27 goals. Platt a fan of Palace By MIKE SULLIVAN Crime Editor COPS prevented “carnage” by smashing a plot to let off rape alarms during the Coronation procession. Activists claimed a man and two women arrested with the devices in Soho at 2am on Saturday were innocent volunteers of a women’s safety group. However, one is said to have links to Extinction Rebellion and police insist they had received intelligence about a plan to disrupt the procession. Ken Marsh, chairman of the rank and file Police Federation, said: “It would have been carnage. “There were serious concerns from the military that if those alarms had gone off while the horses were going past, they would have stampeded. “You would have had 50 horses out of control. We could have been dealing with a catastrophe.” Two women, 37 and 59, and a man, 47, suspected of planning to let off rape alarms were held for 14 hours before being bailed. The Met Police confirmed that 52 people were arrested for affray, public order offences, breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. Graham Smith, head of the anti-monarchy group Republic, was arrested and spent nearly 16 hours in custody. He branded his detention a “direct attack on our democracy”. ‘Carnage’ if activist alarms sounded Action . . .

I can’t look up.” The Queen seemingly replied: “I THE CORONATION E CORONATION Third row . . . Harry at ceremony of the Royal Family are believed to have “breathed a sigh of relief”. But the King, 74, was “genuinely quite disappointed that he didn’t stay”, according to reports. It is unclear who Prince Harry was referring to when he told Mr Brooksbank that he was fed-up. Following the controversy over his best-selling but highly-damaging book, Spare, it could have been aimed at other senior members of the Royal Family. It is also possible his remark was aimed at the British media amid his ongoing High Court legal battles with sections of the Press.

IT WAS a ceremony that could have come from any era of the last 1,000 years. The newly crowned King is kissed tenderly by his son and heir — whose vow to be his “liege man of life and limb” left a previously solemn-looking Charles watery-eyed. But just four hours after the sacred ceremony his heir, Prince William, put a highly polished video of the Coronation on social media. The incredible one-minute video included behind-the-scenes shots of his wife, Catherine, and their three children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte — at the heart of this historic service and who were the unintentional stars of the show. It is just another example of how William is modernising the royal family to save its future. He and Kate know they desperately need to get the TikTok generation interested in the Firm, or risk becoming irrelevant. Recent polls seem to show the younger generation don’t dislike the royal family but they don’t really care about them. Generation Z — those aged 18 to 24 — are apathetic about the monarchy, and that is a real problem. The royal family must not be complacent because the events of the weekend were a brilliant success. Everybody who loves the monarchy turned up or tuned in to the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Saturday. It reflects the hard core of dedicated monarchists who are prepared to stand in the rain and cheer. About 20million did not travel to London but instead stayed at home and watched it all on telly. But that does not reflect the whole country. Those early TV viewing figures mean that up to three-quarters of the country may not have watched it at all. The Firm can no longer rely on books, garden parties and spurs and funny walks. Royalty is fascinating, but not to everyone. Putting out slick, shareable videos on their Instagram feed is a clever move by William and Kate to try to engage a generation that has a very short attention span. William and Kate and their communications team — led by social media guru Lee Thompson, lured away from American TV network NBC — are engaging with younger people in the way they understand. And it’s working. The first Coronation reel posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ 14.8million followers of their social media around 5pm on Saturday has racked up two million likes. It was shared to TikTok, where it has been widely viewed. Yesterday lunchtime the Wales’s team released another behind-the-scenes teaser video showing William rehearsing for last night’s Coronation concert in Windsor. While William and Kate are the stars of the future and are a glamorous couple, the fact is they are not young. He is 40 and she is 41. When Charles and Diana were the most glamourous couple in the world in the 1980s they were not middle-aged like Kate and William. We often forget that Charles was 32 and Diana was just 20 when they married — and they really did engage with young people back then. Diana didn’t need to know if she was trending. She was the trend. At 74, Charles is the oldest man in British history to accede to the throne. And at some stage he and his second wife Camilla, 75, will have to take life at a slower pace. The Prince and Princess of Wales are the royal family’s new stars. They are attractive and naturals with the public, as we witnessed when they wooed the crowds on the Long Walk in Windsor yesterday. Kate even gave a little girl who burst into tears a hug, while William drank beer with fans. But they are not the new Charles and Diana. They are the new Queen and Prince Philip, but in reverse. William and Kate are not so much the People’s Prince and Princess — they are the People’s Family. Their children, quite frankly, are THE CORONATION E CORONATION HOW WILLIAM W WILLIAM Lasting power of royal glory AFTER the pomp and the pageantry, the party. Millions woke up yesterday to the official dawn of our new Carolean era. In bunting-draped streets bathed in glorious celebratory sunshine, the nationwide Big Lunch saw trestle tables heaving with cheese and pickle sandwiches, cake, curries and noodles. People who had previously merely lived next to each other became proper neighbours. And today hundreds of thousands will again brave the rain to volunteer in their communities. Whether it’s collecting tinned food for the less well-off or digging weeds in a village cemetery, a spirit of kindness and duty will spread. It is all of this that is the true power of our monarchy. That glorious St Edward’s crown bestowed on Charles is the ultimate symbol into which we can pour our collective character. Upon that head is our very idea of nationhood, our togetherness. Depth of love Republicans who want to tear down the palaces, claiming hereditary royals aren’t democratic, misunderstand this fatally. You cannot merely vote for this magical, mystical, deeply historical stuff. Who would hold street parties for Presidents Blair or Truss? What a miserable, grey prospect such a head of state would be. And the anti-monarchist argument about costs just doesn’t add up. Not when London is bursting with foreign tourists spending billions to glimpse what they dearly wish their countries still had. This weekend showed the depth of love for the Royal Family. In his mother, King Charles had the ultimate teacher in what it takes to secure its future in the face of relentless change. He was helped by faultless performances from the Prince and Princess of Wales. Surely few watching the highly charged moment when William bent the knee to his father would deny him his own turn. Their star power will be key. In the meantime we can feel happy and glorious pride in a Coronation job well done. And that in a world of dangerous social media and alarming artificial intelligence, we still have 1,000 years of history as our bedrock. After all, this is what Great Britain does best. Never change it. Sun THE SAYS He did so well . . . Prince George, centre, with two fellow Pages of Honour Ruling the waves . . .

Future of the monarchy... sealed with a loving kiss CORONATION’S UNEXPECTED STARS: PAGES 16 & 17 IS MODERNISING THE FIRM MODERNISING THE FIRM ROYALS POST INSTA REPLAY MILLIONS marvelled at an online video of Wills, Kate and their family. The clip was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Twitter and Instagram feeds. One fan declared: “Pure class.” And another said: “Makes me so proud.” So Abbey to be here . . . Wills with Louis & Charlotte Behind the scenes . . . the Prince and Princess of Wales brilliant. Louis in particular is a little star. Everyone loves him. George was immaculate on the day and his father and grandfather will be so proud of him. He is still only a little boy. He did so well. Charlotte was every inch a Princess. She could have stepped straight out of Walt Disney’s world. She played her part with total class. The royal family for Gen Z are right there. They are going to be the marketing tool that keeps the royals attractive to a new generation. In the last two years we have had two funerals, a Jubilee and a Coronation — plus the Harry and Meghan saga. But in the coming years there will be no major events on that scale to keep interest in the royal family. So they must engage with the people, old and young. Comedian Adam Hills was one of 20 Australians invited to attend the Coronation at Westminster Abbey. He was saying, “This will probably be the last King of Australia”, as he believes his homeland and New Zealand will become republics unless the royal family does something drastic. The Firm doesn’t want to lose Australia and I think the King and Queen Camilla should go there next year with William and Kate. They should go for a whole month and take the children on a massive PR campaign. It’s not the first time it has happened. The Queen went with Charles and Anne in 1970. They could leave Princess Anne as a counsellor of state to look after things here. Anne was one of the unsung stars of the Coronation. She rode out like a Queen. The Commonwealth is going to become more and more important if the royal family is to have more influence. And they do want to have that influence because they don’t want it to end on their watch. I think Australia will have an elected head of state before William is crowned — unless they pull out all the stops. The royal family was perhaps at its most vulnerable in 1936, the year of three Kings. George V said Edward VIII would ruin the royal family within a year — and he did. George VI, the stammering King, came in and called his family “We Four”. With the help of the Queen Mother and his daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, “We Four” saved the monarchy. In Catherine, William has a wife who is as strong and as attractive as the Queen Mother. And with their children, “We Five” will ensure the monarchy is not only safe, but thrives.

SWORDS, SONGS COMMONS leader Penny Mordaunt’s sword skills have turned her into a Coronation sensation. The Tory MP, who carried two huge blades during the hours-long ceremony, has been likened to the ancient warrior queen Boudicca. Fans wowed by her strength in wielding the weapons, one weighing 8lb, also compared her to Henry VIII’s wife Anne Boleyn and superhero Wonder Woman. Others reckoned she stole the show — just like Pippa Middleton’s bum at the 2011 wedding of her sister Kate to Prince William. Ms Mordaunt’s sword-carrying role — as Lord President of the Privy Council and Leader of the House of Commons — bewitched a telly audience of 350million. US rock singer Courtney Love tweeted: “I’m now obsessed with Penny Mordaunt taking it way up a notch with actual Tudor . . . headdress holding this golden sword. #boudicca vibes. Obsessed! I couldn’t take my eyes off her.” Ex-Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell tweeted: “Don’t let anyone ever say I never say anything positive about the Tories . . . I am in awe of Penny Mordaunt’s arm and shoulder strength.” Labour MP Emily Thornberry added: “Got to say it, Penny Mordaunt looks damn fine! The sword-bearer steals the show.” Author and columnist Caitlin Moran said: “Penny Mordaunt’s sword is the Pippa Middleton’s bum of the Coronation.” Labour’s Chris Bryant quipped: “The Penny is mightier than the sword.” And one joker wrote: “Penny Mordaunt has now been holding that sword longer than Liz Truss was Prime Minister.” Ms Mordaunt wore a custommade teal outfit, matching cape and headband embroidered with gold feathers. She entered Westminster Abbey carrying the 4ft Sword of State. Weighing 8lb, the 17th century piece has a silver-gilt hilt in the form of a lion and unicorn. The wooden scabbard is covered in red velvet with silver-gilt rose, thistle and fleur-de-lis emblems. Later, Ms Mordaunt exchanged it for the 1821 Jewelled Sword of Offering, encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. She rehearsed using weighted replicas and said her time in the Navy helped her stand for long periods. On the eve of the Coronation, she joked about “doing some press-ups” in preparation. After, Ms Mordaunt brushed off her starring role and said: “I’m very aware our Armed Forces, police officers and others have been marching or standing for hours as part of the ceremony or to keep us all safe. In comparison, my job was rather easier. “Huge and heartfelt thanks to all who made this so remarkable. I’m so proud of you all and the King and Queen today.” [email protected] PENNY GOES VIRAL AS SHE CHANNELS THE WARRIOR QUEEN THE HOT EQUERRY DASHING equerry Major Jonathan Thompson wowed fans again as he stood at the King’s side throughout. The hunky officer, 39, is a member of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland and was the late Queen’s most senior bodyguard. But he now serves His Majesty — winning an army of admirers who have dubbed him the Hot Equerry. Of his latest appearance, one Twitter user commented: “Hot equerry draws eyes again at coronation.” Another wrote: “If someone isn’t writing Penny/Hot Equerry fanfic I shall be extremely disappointed in the internet.” But his admirers may be disappointed — the major is married with two children.

Sir Bryn ANDREW Lloyd Webber’s fabulous anthem, Make A Joyful Noise, was performed publicly for the first time at Saturday’s Coronation. And yesterday it was heard in Sunday services up and down the country after the sheet music was sent to 6,000 churches. During Saturday’s ceremony, the opening and closing fanfare of the piece was played by trumpeters of the Royal Air Force — while the chorus was sung by the choir of Westminster Abbey. The Coronation Orchestra — made up of musicians from eight of the world’s best — provided accompaniment. It also featured the Abbey’s sub-organist Peter Holder and was conducted by Andrew Nethsingha, the organist and master of the choristers at Westminster Abbey. Opera star Sir Bryn Terfel also performed the first Welsh language song heard at a Coronation. The piece, called Coronation Kyrie and composed by Paul Mealor, was inspired by the hills and valleys of Wales. #boudicca Love . . . from Courtney, and Boudicca THE CORONATION E CORONATION By PAUL SIMS Bodyguard . . . with Queen Elizabeth II in 2018 16 ...............

AND SOME BIG SURPRISES ME BIG SURPRISES THE SPECTACULAR SOPRANO SOPRANO Pretty Yende is the first African to sing solo at a UK coronation. In a spectacular yellow dress, the 38-year-old performed Sacred Fire, by British composer Sarah Class. Yende was born in South Africa under apartheid. She sang gospel in her home town of eMkhondo. Critics told her to boycott the Coronation in protest at Britain’s colonial past. But she said it was a chance for her to “reconcile, to heal, to love”. THE GRIM REAPER SOCIAL media went into a frenzy with claims the Grim Reaper was caught on camera at Westminster Abbey. TV viewers spotted a hooded figure in dark robes, holding a rod similar to a scythe, scurrying past an archway. One wag joked: “Who is he after?” It was, in fact, a trick of the light and the outline of a clergyman. THE ANGELIC CHOIRBOY TEENAGER Samuel Strachan won the hearts of the world as he spoke the first words of the Coronation service. The 14-year-old addressed Charles: “Your Majesty, as children of the kingdom of God, we welcome you in the name of the King of Kings.” Samuel is the longest-serving chorister of the Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace. THE GOSPEL SINGERS SOME viewers hailed the Ascension Choir as “the best part of the Coronation”. The gospel singers — handpicked for the historic occasion — sang Alleluia, written by Debbie Wiseman. One fan wrote online: “The gospel choir was glorious.” Labour MP Jess Phillips said: “Cried at the gospel choir, felt a bit overwhelmed. “Funny old thing patriotism, grabs you in a weird way.” YOUR 7-PAGE CORONATION CELEBRATION STARTS ON PAGE 25 Monday, May 8, 2023 ............... 17

POLICE are probing claims Spurs star Son Heung-min was racially abused by a Crystal Palace fan. The forward, 30, was targeted in the 89th minute of his team’s 1-0 home win. He was walking back to the bench after being substituted on Saturday when a Palace fan made a gesture towards the South Korean. Son has been racially abused a number of times since signing for Spurs in 2015. A Crystal Palace statement said: “We will not tolerate such behaviour in our club. When he is identified he will face a club ban.” SON ‘RACE-HATE’ FEARS are growing over a nuclear power plant in Russian-occupied Ukraine amid the evacuation of residents from the area. Thousands with Russian passports in 18 towns in the Zaporizhzhia region have been told to leave. That includes Enerhodar, near the plant — the largest in Europe. The UN’s nuclear power watchdog warned a “severe nuclear accident” could occur. It comes with Ukraine expected to soon launch a counter-offensive to retake territory in the country held by Russia. Both sides have accused one another of shelling the plant and efforts to secure a safety zone around it have failed. Nuclear evacuate order hell A DRIVER was hijacked by gunmen and then forced to place a suspicious object outside a police station. Families in nearby houses were evacuated while ammunition experts took the package away for tests. The incident in Omagh, Co Tyrone, on Saturday night triggered a major security alert, police in Northern Ireland said. The victim was hijacked by three masked gunmen and forced to drive his VW Golf to the Derry Road where it was abandoned outside the police station. The alert has been lifted. HIJACK TERROR SITTING up straight and keeping elbows off the table is good for your health, experts found. It improves posture, builds strength and can even reduce headaches. Slouching at meals prevents alignment of shoulders and back, leading physical therapists say. The CityPT report also warns against sitting for long periods and urges people to regularly stand up, stretch and move around. It recommends core strength exercises.

Both opposition parties have left the door open to a pact if there is a hung Parliament after the next general election. Lib Dem chief Sir Ed Davey dismissed the idea as “hypothetical”. But he told the BBC: “The focus is on getting rid of Conservative MPs. I make no apology for that.” Labour’s Wes Streeting also refused to rule out Sir Ed’s key demand for proportional representation. He told Sky’s Sophy Ridge: “We’re not entertaining that prospect.” Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson said it was clear “Sir Slippery” was looking to link up with the Lib Dems and SNP in a “dirty deal”. Sir Keir’s ‘dirty deal to be PM’ BID TO STOP ‘CALL Pact . . . Starmer BACK LATER’ DOCS By JACK ELSOM GP receptionists will stop telling patients to “call back later” under plans to boost face-toface appointments. Instead, they will have to tell callers that same day how they aim to sort them a booking within a fortnight at the latest. Ministers want to end the “8am scramble” where people are forced to phone their practice first thing if they hope to see a doctor. An average surgery reception is inundated with 100 calls in the first hour on a Monday. To cut the logjam, Health Secretary Steve Barclay is announcing £240million of funding for centres to replace old phones that leave patients despairing at engaged tones. They will be upgraded to either keep callers in a queue or to provide a call-back feature to arrange a slot. Mr Barclay plans to rebrand NHS receptionists into “care navigators” who will take details from patients and find them the most suitable doctor. They will also ensure patients who want to see a preferred GP can do so, while others will see the duty doctor. An urgent call will be seen to that day, and all calls must result in an appointment within two weeks. Mr Barclay said: “We are improving technology and reducing bureaucracy, increasing staffing and changing the way primary care services are provided, which are helping to deliver on the Government’s promise to cut waiting lists.” Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: “The reason people can’t get a GP appointment is the Conservatives have cut 2,000 GPs.” [email protected] Patient wait-time plan Care plan . . . from Barclay 18...............

LICKY IN LOVE IN LOVE Stamp collectors make best lovers ST CLASS IN THE SACK By THOMAS GODFREY STAMP collectors think they make the best lovers, a poll has found. However, jigsaw fans are less good at putting the bits together in the bedroom. There are an estimated 60million stamp collectors — philatelists — worldwide, with about 300,000 here. Of those surveyed, 43 per cent rated themselves at least an eight out of ten in the sack. Ramblers (32 per cent) also make great strides when it comes to lovemaking while trainspotters (31 per cent) know how to keep on track when it gets steamy. Metal detectorists (28 per cent) and cooks (26 per cent) also made the top five best lover hobbyists. But at the other end of the scale, just nine per cent of jigsaw puzzlers think they know which bit should go where. Gardeners, artists and bird-watchers didn’t rate themselves either. One philatelist with a “massive collection” of stamps said of his bedroom antics: “I’d rate myself an eight or nine — I’ve never had any complaints, put it that way.” Married dating site Illicit Encounters, which did the poll, said: “Stamp collectors think rather a lot of themselves.” BILLIONAIRES’ PIT STOP TWO of the world’s richest men were Grand Prix rivals yesterday.

JUST a few weeks ago, Tory tails were up, Rishi was biffing Sir Keir about the ears and there was wild talk, admittedly put about by me, of a snap autumn election. All that optimism evaporated like morning mist on Friday. The local elections proved Tory hopes of a miracle fourth term are, as The Apprentice’s Lord Sugar might say, ten per cent of naff all. Voters dumped more than 1,000 Conservative councillors . . . a bleak result greeted by Starmer with the most depressing words in the English language: “Make no mistake — we are on course for an overall majority at the next election.” It’s not quite true. At least, not yet. There is a mountain to climb and Labour may have already peaked. With a more impressive leader, Labour could and should be on track for outright victory in 2024. Nailed that illusion With Starmer, Labour will need to stitch up a coalition with the resurgent but wholly unreliable Lib Dems — plus a handful of oddball Greens. In any event, we look like having to endure Prime Minister Sir Keir and a re-run of the disastrous 1970s Lib-Lab pact. Heaven help us all. It seems only weeks ago that everything was going so well for the Tories. And it was. There was a definite Rishi Sunak “bounce” as the PM exposed SNP hypocrisy over gender rights — marking Nicola Sturgeon’s last gasp. The former Chancellor put a cork in the endless squabble with Brussels over Northern Ireland. And he vowed to stop small boats crossing the Channel, by sending migrants to Rwanda. There were high hopes the economy was on the mend, with tax cuts in view. After last year’s carnage, the Tories were up for the fight and polls indicated Labour’s double-digit lead had begun to slip. Thursday nailed that illusion. Voters aren’t interested in Northern Ireland, or trans issues — vexing though both may be. But the gaping hole in household budgets makes us all sit up and pay attention. Rishi promised to halve inflation. But it remains stubbornly above ten per cent, among the highest in Europe. Food prices have risen almost twice as fast, by an average 19.2 per cent. Basics such as sugar, milk, cheese and other dairy products have gone up by a third. This is a huge bite out of disposable income, especially for the poorest struggling to feed their families. Yes, most of it is beyond Rishi’s control — Covid, Ukraine and, not least, the abject failure of the Bank of England to see this crisis coming. Voters are too busy searching their empty wallets to worry about Treasury-level economics. But if they can’t see a doctor or a dentist, catch a train, call police to a burglary, renew a passport or buy their kids dinner, they will kick the cat — in this case, a tired Tory government. Housing crisis If they aren’t worrying about putting food on the table, they wonder what the Tories have been doing for the past 13 years. And when they see TV news about another boatload of migrants on the Kent coast, they ask what happened to “take back control”. Summer hasn’t even started and we are well on track to beat last year’s 45,000 illegal arrivals record. Voters have also clocked that half a million more are coming here legally. And that’s literally the half of it. The real total is a staggering 1.1million each year, reduced officially to a net 504,000 after deducting the half a million who have actually left these shores. No wonder there is a housing crisis. Labour promises to build thousands of new homes. That won’t be enough, especially as Labour has no intention of stopping immigration either. Starmer has not snatched the initiative by having bright ideas of his own. The Tories have lost it by failing to deliver them. Rishi Sunak is now under pressure to deliver real Conservative policies — lower taxes, stronger policing, incentives for five million working-age people to quit welfare and find jobs. It’s never too late, they say. But after Thursday’s minimassacre, the clock is ticking. It’s not too late, Rishi... but the clock is ticking SATURDAY’S fabulously theatrical Coronation of King Charles III lifted the national spirit in a way no presidential parade could ever match. It was a rare chance to show Britain at its best. The French deeply regret putting their royal family to the guillotine. It would be a shame now if we ended centuries of pomp and splendour by voting our lot out of Buckingham Palace. Yet people must be entitled to disagree. And if not on Coronation day itself, when? Police will need to show good cause for carting off 52 republican protestors in handcuffs. After all, it is thanks to this country’s hardwon freedom of speech that the Royal Family has survived at all. Trevor Kavanagh [email protected] 20 ............... Monday, May 8, 2023

A TOAST MORTEM By JACK ELSOM MINISTERS are “looking very closely” at the BBC licence fee — and have rejected Gary Lineker’s calls for the next chair to be picked independently. Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer warned that Beeb bosses will not be able to solely rely on the controversial “telly tax” forever. Instead, her review into the corporation’s money is considering “a variety of sources for its funding” besides the £159 annual charge. She told the broadcaster: “I’d like to ensure the BBC is properly funded. The licence fee isn’t the only way.” Richard Sharp quit as BBC chairman after a probe found he breached rules by failing to declare his role in an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson. Aftewards, Match Of The Day host Lineker said: “The BBC chairman should not be selected by the government of the day. Not now, not ever.” But Ms Frazer insisted the decision would be made by PM Rishi Sunak — and could be a political appointment. ‘Telly tax’ axe fear for BBC Demand . . .

SINGER & THE FILM STARS BRITNEY GAGGED OVER 2 LOVERS Lawyers halt book BRITNEY Spears’ tell-all autobiography has been put back amid legal concerns over claims she had affairs with two Hollywood stars. Lawyers for those worried about the possible content of the memoir have sent letters to publisher Simon & Schuster. It is now consulting with its own legal team on the matter — causing the singer’s book to be put on hold. A source said: “Britney is brutally honest in the book — there are a lot of nervous A-listers. “Strongly worded legal letters have been sent to the publishers by people who know Britney and who fear what she has written. There is no movement at the moment and there are concerns over when it will eventually be able to come out.” The book had been due out in February but is now expected to come out at the end of the year. It will cover her controversial conservatorship, her marriage to her third husband — actor Sam Asghari, 29 — and other topics which she has never spoken about publicly. The source said: “Britney wants this to be her moment she talks to the world, to tell her side of the story and set the record straight. “There’s a fair amount of throwing people under the bus, talking about past relationships, some of whom will be revealed for the first time ever. Britney lived her life in the public eye but there are relationships and people she had encounters with who she managed to keep under the radar, including some massive film star names and people from the music world. “She has wanted to go all out with this book and tell her truth, and that’s what has people worried.” The troubled singer’s publishing deal, one of the highest on record, is worth almost £12million. Britney, 41, has enlisted journalist and novelist Sam Lansky as a ghostwriter. Previously, she said online that she had “written three different versions of my book and had LOTS of therapy through the process”. Before her current marriage, she wed her childhood friend Jason Alexander, 41, for 55 hours in 2004 before it was annulled. She married dancer Kevin Federline, 45, later that year and they had sons Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, before divorcing in 2007. Britney also had relationships with Justin Timberlake, 42, choreographer Wade Robson, 40, actor Colin Farrell, 46, and paparazzo Adnan Ghalib, 51. In November 2021, a court ruled the conservatorship that gave her dad Jamie control of her personal and financial affairs for 13 years, was over. clementine. moodie@ thesun. co.uk EXCLUSIVE By CLEMMIE MOODIE Assistant Editor (Showbiz) Latest love . .

BILLY LOCKETT’s fortnightlong UK tour ended in Newcastle last night – and it has been such a success he feels like all his dreams have come true.

And it’s my 30th tour, probably.” The Northampton singer-songwriter has previously toured with LANA DEL REY and LEWIS CAPALDI and is now working on the follow-up to his debut album Abington Grove. He added: “I’ve supported everyone under the sun and I’m 31 now. I started trying to properly do this when I was 18 and all the stress, worry, overthinking and debt is totally worth it now.” Lockett back in pocket THERE haven’t been many girl groups to replace LITTLE MIX since they went on hiatus a year ago, but AESPA could fill that gap. The K-pop four-piece have dropped a new EP today called My World and it is packed with hits which any star would be jealous of. The group, consisting of KARINA, GISELLE, WINTER and NINGNING, have come into their own recently and show their pop prowess on the EP’s belting, in-your-face single Spicy. They are also on the soundtrack for the new Tetris film and have a bunch of festival performances booked across the US this year. Fellow Korean girl group BLACKPINK are popular here and will headline BST Hyde Park in London in July. With Aespa following their lead, K-pop is here to stay. THE WIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH IS HERE EUROVISION week is here, and it’s sure to be a hair-raising occasion – especially for the acts. That’s because organisers have drafted in more than 100 wigs and hairpieces for the performers. I’m told bosses are expecting to use more than 1,000 litres of hairspray on the night, so there shouldn’t be a lock out of place. There are eight miles of cabling for lighting, sound, video and effects at the Liverpool Arena, as well as 2,000 specialist lighting fixtures and 23,700 individual light sources. There will also be 150 mics, and a further 60 miles of power cabling around the arena. For the costumes, there will be 150 metres of clothes rails, with the wardrobe department creating 482 new outfits for the three shows. All the work has been done in the UK and Ukraine, championing the country which had been due to host after winning the contest last year. The two semi-final shows will be broadcast tomorrow and on Thursday from 8pm on BBC1, ahead of the final at the same time on Saturday, with MAE MULLER, inset, representing the UK. Stage designer Julio Himede, who has worked on the Grammys and MTV VMAs, has helped to develop the 220 square metres of staging and architecture, which takes inspiration from a hug that enfolds the arena, opening its arms to war-torn Ukraine. lED SHEERAN looks set to score the highest new entry in this week’s singles chart following the release of album Subtract. Curtains – the eighth track on the record – is at No10 in the midweek charts. In more good news for him, Eyes Closed has rebounded from No 6 to No 3. NO, RIHANNA hadn’t just been sprayed by a car going through a puddle when she stepped out in this mud-stained outfit. Apparently it’s fashionable and is meant to look like that. She wore the jacket and miniskirt combo by London designer Mowalola in New York at the weekend. Although the Diamonds singer is well into her second pregnancy, she is clearly avoiding frumpy maternity clobber in favour of designer gear like this. But you could just make your own. Put on some whites, get digging the garden and you’ll have an outfit like Ri-Ri’s in no time. RI-RI-ALLY GRUBBY Aespa in the Mix 22 ............... Monday, May 8, 2023 2GM

KEVIN COSTNER was left heartbroken after his wife of 18 years, Christine, walked out on him. lMATTY HEALY was welcomed into the inner circle of TAYLOR SWIFT’s world on Saturday night at her second Nashville show. THE 1975 frontman dashed in from the Philippines to catch her Eras Tour gig on Friday and was back there the next day, where he was joined in the VIP section by her model pals GIGI HADID and LILY ALDRIDGE. He also got up on stage with Taylor’s opening act, PHOEBE BRIDGERS, to play guitar for her. On Friday Matty was accompanied by Taylor’s bodyguard to get a coffee after spending time at the superstar’s apartment in Nashville. Clearly things are moving quickly. THEY have been busy reimagining their back catalogue for new album Songs Of Surrender, and now U2, inset, are ready to start work on new music. Guitarist THE EDGE explained: “We have a lot of great material in the pipeline. “I’ve been working a lot on new guitar music and I’m very excited about it. It’s at that prototype stage.” Speaking to Guitar Player mag, he also revealed the idea to create Songs Of Surrender came during the Covid lockdown. He added: “We were due for some time off. We finished our last show in India in December of 2019. “We came home and almost immediately the world was turned upside down. “That time would have been spent working on ideas and early-stage new songs.” IT must have been hard for Brit actor JOE ALWYN to see TAYLOR SWIFT, his ex-lover of six years, move on with new man MATTY HEALY. But Joe will have the last laugh, as he is set to continue profiting from the songs he co-wrote with her. Under the pseudonym William Bowery, he helped to create the songs Betty and Exile on 2020 album Folklore before contributing to Champagne Problems, Coney Island and the title track from Evermore, also released in 2020. Then last year he cowrote Sweet Nothing on her latest No1 album Midnights. A music insider said: “Joe will be raking in a fortune from these songs for years. “Taylor’s albums sold millions and continue to be huge on streaming services. “He will easily be making a five-figure sum every year from his contributions. Writing six songs for albums as big as Taylor’s guarantees a healthy income stream for life.” The three albums that talented Joe contributed to have spent ten weeks at No1 between them. Midnights, which came out in October, is still in the Top Ten, 28 weeks after it was released. Taylor and Joe’s split was revealed at the beginning of April, then last week The Sun revealed the bombshell news that she is now dating London-born THE 1975 frontman Matty. On Friday during a gig in Nashville she revealed her third studio album, 2010’s Speak Now, will be the next to be re-recorded from her back catalogue, with six new tracks from her vault. Tweeting about the album, out on July 7, she said: “I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. “The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness.” And she added: “With six extra songs I’ve sprung loose from the vault, I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate Speak Now.” SWIFT’S NEW LOVE & HER PALS YOU ALWYN SOME...

By ANDY ROBINSON 4 KNIFE VICTIMS IN 1 DAY UK death toll horror Star pad ROAD TO HOLE sea peril A CAR teeters on the edge of a sinkhole which opened up suddenly in the road. The black Skoda Fabia was left wedged by its front wheel with a rear wheel off the ground. Its elderly driver was shaken but unhurt and was helped out By ROB PATTINSON of the car by barber’s shop owner Russell Gull. He said: “The first thing I noticed was a man warning us there was a pothole. “One car went round it but the next just drove straight ahead and dove right in.” Residents in Worksop, Notts, said the area was prone to holes forming as the road was built on top of an old drain. Police closed the road after the incident on Saturday morning. WORK is under way to prevent beachfront homes owned by Fatboy Slim and David Walliams from being swept into the sea. Around 15,000 tons of granite will be used to build a 260-metre long, three-metre high wall in a £35million, 15-year plan. It aims to protect the plush properties in Hove, East Sussex, as well as nearby businesses and Shoreham power station. It is feared that without intervention, coastal erosion will see the homes — there for 100-plus years — fall into the sea by 2040. If planning permission is granted this month, work on six sites will start this summer. THE price of eggs has gone up as much as 45 per cent since January in supermarkets. Nearly 60 lines in the seven main stores rose by at least ten per cent. The biggest hike was a large six-pack at Tesco, which is up 44.4 per cent since January to £2.60. Supply shortages are blamed for cost rises — but they could be alleviated as producers begin to see bigger returns. The Grocer reported the average price this month was 49.6 per cent up on a year ago. The British Free Range Egg Producers Association said hen numbers were “gradually increasing”. 45% egg price rise Victim . . . Jordan FOUR people were stabbed to death in separate incidents across Britain on the eve of the Coronation. Three of the killings were within eight hours in East London, as the capital’s knife crime epidemic showed no sign of abating. Two teenagers, including a boy of 16 ambushed outside his school, were among the victims, along with a young man stabbed outside a McDonald’s in Bath. The first killing happened as the 16-year-old left Kelmscott School in Walthamstow on Friday. He was said to have been chased by three older boys lying in wait. Head Sam Jones called it the “darkest of days” and urged parents to “hold those that you love close”. Four miles away in Hackney, a man in his late 20s was killed shortly after 11pm. Two men and a woman, in their 40s or 50s, were arrested. Within an hour, an 18-year-old died as two machete-wielding groups fought at Dagenham Heathway Tube station. Chadwell Heath councillor Michel Pongo named the victim as his nephew, Jordan. In a message to gang members, he tweeted: “Drop your knife before it is too late.” In Bath on Saturday, three were held over Ben Moncrieff’s murder. 24 ............... Monday, May 8, 2023

An undoubted triumph... ...for our undoubted King 7-PAGE CORONATION CELEBRATION HE was presented as our “undoubted King” – and there is no doubt that Saturday’s Coronation was a moment in history the nation can look back on with immense pride. Millions around the world watched as King Charles III embraced his “day of destiny”, with Camilla, his beloved wife and Queen, by his side. The two-hour ceremony at Westminster Abbey was steeped in ancient, sacred ritual interspersed with the modernity that the King is determined to bring to his new Carolean era. The crowning glory was followed by a jubilant appearance by the Royal Family – young and old – on the Buckingham Palace balcony, where Charles and Camilla’s radiant smiles said it all. Here, in a seven-page souvenir special, The Sun’s Chief Feature Writer OLIVER HARVEY reflects on a day of magnificence.

Chief Feature Writer OLIVER HARVEY By THE CORONATION: AN UNDOUBTED TRIUMPH LOOKING down from the rainlashed Buckingham Palace balcony, King Charles III and Queen Camilla allowed themselves a loving glance. They had just claimed their place in history together, crowned before God in a line of succession stretching back a thousand years. Yet the treasured moment for the couple — whose affectionate nicknames for each other are Fred and Gladys — also marked the culmination of their own romantic story. If Charles had wondered how the nation might take to his beloved Camilla as Queen, he only had to survey the elated thousands gathered beneath him at the Palace. The “hip hip hoorays” rang in their ears from a teeming Mall in a chorus of public affection that surpassed anything the couple had received in the past. The King, 74, who has been appearing on the famous balcony since he was two years old, seemed astonished by the reaction they both received. “Oh my goodness, it’s wonderful,” he told the Queen. Some had once believed the public would never accept Camilla, 75, as Queen after Princess Diana had famously said, “there were three of us in this marriage”. Yet in the intervening years Camilla has proved to be a tireless public servant whose deep love for Charles is abundantly clear. Now tens of thousands rapturously cheered the King and Queen to cement Camilla’s place at the heart of the royal household. People from across Britain and the globe had camped out for days or queued in torrential rain to wish the couple well. Flanked by 13 close family members, the monarch and his wife seemed lost in reverence as they acknowledged the crowds’ adulation. Charles — who had stood on the same balcony to celebrate his 1981 marriage to Diana — appeared genuinely moved. Before shuffling inside, he mouthed to the multitude: “Thank you very much.” ‘I might give myself a fright’ Earlier, the royal procession had passed along The Mall as the Coronation party travelled to and from Westminster Abbey. A sea of selfie sticks mingled with lowhanging branches of the plane trees as well-wishers craned to get an image of the gilded coaches and their royal passengers. Barrister Michelle Fawcett, 52, said: “It was a moment in history and pretty spectacular. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. “No one else in the world does the pomp and ceremony like us.” Londoner Mark Strasshine, 36, said: “It’s great to be able to get a glimpse, even if it’s a very busy and very wet event.” After the solemn service at the Abbey, Charles and Camilla returned to Buckingham Palace in their Coronation finery. Charles wore his grandfather King George VI’s robe of state made of crimson velvet, gold lace, and trimmed with ermine fur. Firmly balanced on his head was the 22-carat gold St Edward’s Crown, decorated with 444 gems including rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnet, topazes and tourmalines. Camilla — in her ivory, silver and gold embroidered Coronation dress created by British designer Bruce Oldfield — wore the silver-gilt Crown of Queen Mary inset with 2,200 diamonds. Edging towards the waiting balcony, the Queen had understandably poked out a hand to test how hard it was raining. Evidently she gave the all-clear as the royal party appeared at 2.25pm, shortly before the Red Arrows’ fly-past. The King told his wife: “I mustn’t get too close to the edge or I might give myself a fright . . . be careful.” The crowd soon spontaneously burst into chants of “God save the King”. Londoner Michelle Roycroft — who had been waiting in the rain since 7am — said the royal couple’s balcony appearance had “absolutely made my day”. Charles and Camilla then retired to the shelter of the Palace’s interior — but their public wanted more. And, as the chants of “we want the King” reached a crescendo, there was an encore. So delighted were the King and Queen with their reception that they returned to the balcony for a second time, to the delight of the rain-sodden crowd. Charles, who had kept his emotions in check for much of the day, could no longer hide his happiness. The woman he truly loves is finally his Queen.

Chief Feature Writer OLIVER HARVEY By THE CORONATION: AN UNDOUBTED TRIUMPH THERE was a mysterious single royal glove, a curious Coronation girdle and a Stone of Destiny. Reading the Coronation’s order of service beforehand, the bizarre regalia and secret anointing ceremony could have come straight from the pen of Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown. There was even the Leader of the House of Commons — resembling a Game Of Thrones warrior princess — shouldering the 8lb Sword of State for much of the ceremony. Indeed, one US news magazine labelled “the overall vibe” as “Disneyland on acid”. Little wonder that some feared how the ceremony would play out with the TikTok generation. Yet Charles had wisely stuck with an order of service that has served the institution for 1,000 years. The King knows well that without an aura of mystery, the monarchy becomes little more than a civic mayoralty. And from the moment the royal trumpeters sounded the fanfare that announced Charles and Camilla’s arrival at Westminster Abbey, the ceremony was spellbinding. It’s very strangeness and eccentricity only added to the otherworldly atmosphere. The choir sang Hubert Parry’s reworking of Psalm 122 with haunting new Latin refrains of “Vivat Regina Camilla” and “Vivat Rex Carolus” to begin the ethereal service. Meaning “long live Queen Camilla” and “long live King Charles”, the words rang out as Camilla slowly paced through the Abbey, her long train trailing behind her. The assortment of royal regalia was placed on the altar. Each relic is loaded with significance that has served the kings and queens of England — and later the United Kingdom — well. Heavy on medieval mysticism and Old Testament ritual, the service dates back to Anglo-Saxon King Edgar’s coronation in 973. Historian Tom Holland likened the living history embodied in the ceremony — which also has Biblical elements — to “going to a zoo and seeing a woolly mammoth”. And when set to haunting choral music inside the musty Abbey, the rituals and regalia took on an almost supernatural quality. Those golden spurs would lend knightly values of courage and honour. The Coronation Girdle — made of cloth of gold — is used to attach the Jewelled Sword of Offering which should be used for “the protection of good and the punishment of evil”. While the Coronation Glove or gauntlet is worn to hold the Sovereign’s Sceptre during the crowning. The most rousing moment came as Zadok The Priest — written by the German-British composer George Frideric Handel — was sung as the King was anointed with holy oil behind ornate screens in a “sacred” moment. One Twitter user wrote: “Whatever your stance on the Coronation, Zadok The Priest is an absolute banger.” Composer Tony Britten rearranged the music for Uefa in 1992 as the new Champions League anthem. Perhaps the most electrifying moment of the ceremony came after Charles had lowered himself on to the battered, 700-year-old Coronation Chair complete with graffiti dating back to the 18th Century. Beneath the wooden structure — the oldest piece of furniture in Europe still being used for its original purpose — rested the ancient Stone of Destiny upon which Scottish kings were crowned. Dressed first in a collarless shirt, then gold robes, the 4lb 15oz St Edward’s Crown was carefully placed on Charles’s head by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The King had been practising for the weight by wearing a bowler hat with a bag of flour inside, while the Archbishop prepared for his big moment by “crowning anything that stood still long enough”. Former MP Gyles Brandreth — a guest inside the abbey — said of the crowning: “It was deeply moving. “I looked around at that very moment and there were tears in people’s eyes.” Saturday’s ceremony delved deep into Britain’s historic past to help reveal its future. The Abbey was an easy blend of races and religions from all four United Kingdom nations and the wider Commonwealth. A religious man, the King appeared serene throughout. Meanwhile, former Tory leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt, who starred in reality TV diving show Splash! in 2014, was trending on social media for her demanding Coronation role. Wearing a teal dress and cape embroidered with gold ferns, the Lord President of the Privy Council had made an “Olympian” effort clutching the heavy sword. Labour frontbencher Emily Thornberry said: “Got to say it, Penny Mordaunt looks damn fine. The sword bearer steals the show.” Former BBC man Jon Sopel — now host of podcast The News Agents — quipped in a tweet: “The Penny mightier than the sword.” Penny, 50, had been strengthening her arms with a push-up routine in preparation for the big occasion. She explained that her background as a Navy reservist had made her adept at “standing for long periods of time and not fainting”. The ceremony ended with a tearful rendition of the National Anthem. One guest, British Empire Medal holder Kim Beck, 60, from Solihull said she was “so emotional” that she “was struggling to sing it”. The Anglo-Saxon ceremony had melded ancient British history and wisdom with modern sensibilities. Its absurdity was its power.

after the service. Smiling and clutching the day’s order of service, he may have been taking the memento home to California as a present for son Archie, whose fourth birthday was on Saturday. If William is increasingly confident of his role as first in line to the throne, then his son Prince George seems cut from the same cloth. Aged just nine, George performed his Page of Honour duties to grandfather Charles with mature selfassurance. Wearing a knee-length scarlet coat with gold trimmings over a white satin waistcoat, he appeared unruffled amid the glare of the public eye. Royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti called the Coronation a “great opportunity for Prince George to start more serious ceremonial duties”. He added: “There’s a difficult balance to be struck between preparing younger royals for their lifetime of service and duty and maintaining their privacy so that they can grow up as peacefully as possible.” William and Kate have tried to bring up their children in a grounded way. Princess TWO days earlier they had been supping pints in Soho’s Dog And Duck. On that day, the Prince and Princess of Wales had travelled on the Elizabeth Line on the Tube to mix effortlessly with excited pub-goers. Now, with the same easy confidence, they were front and centre of a global occasion, with all the pomp and pageantry the House of Windsor could muster. Ushered into Westminster Abbey beneath giant umbrellas against the relentless rain, the pair dazzled in a kaleidoscope of gold braid, deep blues, red and ivory. The pair — and their young family — took star billing in the Coronation that William had helped to choreograph. The bond between King and beloved elder son had been there for all to see as William gently kissed his father’s left cheek after he was crowned. The Prince had pledged to his father to become “your liege man of life and limb”. A clearly emotional King whispered back to his heir: “Thank you, William.” Second son Prince Harry — peeking from behind the red feather plume of Princess Anne’s towering hat — looked on from the relative nowhere land of Row Three. Harry — who had sung along with gusto to the hymns — dashed off to Heathrow straight Charlotte, aged eight, showed her calm presence as she led five-year-old brother Prince Louis into the Abbey by the hand. Louis, in smart blue tunic, likes to claim the royal limelight on the big occasions. At the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year, he tried to sit on Charles’s lap. He was more restrained on Saturday but soon began to look impatient after the two-hour service began. When Charlotte — in ivory silk dress and silver headpiece — politely held up the order of service for him, he looked the other way. Kate had to give him a talking to when he yawned and started to kick out his feet. Louis left after the first hymn before returning ahead of the end of the service to join the family procession back to Buckingham Palace, where he seemed transfixed by the Red Arrows fly-past. The Waleses are photogenic and increasingly front-of-centre members of The Firm. One fashion writer said yesterday that Kate had “evolved into a staggering beauty” with “world-class style”. Another fashion bigwig wrote of her resplendent Alexander McQueen Coronation outfit: “Long live McQueen!” The sumptuous dress of ivory silk crepe featured embroidery incorporating rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs symbolising the four nations of the United Kingdom. Court jesters Over the top of the creation was a deep blue Royal Victorian Order mantle. With her hair swept back in an elegant updo, Kate, 41, wore a delicate leaf embroidery headpiece and finished the look with pearl and diamond earrings that had belonged to Princess Diana. During a recent walkabout she told a wellwisher the family missed Diana every day. William, 40, who wore the ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh Guards beneath his mantle, is a man born to be King and seems increasingly content with his role. A departure from Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation 70 years ago was the make-up of the 2023 guest list.

Katy Perry — peeping out from beneath a wide-brimmed lilac bonnet — struggled to ocate her pew. The US singer, who performed t last night’s Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle, later tweeted: “Don’t worry guys — I ound my seat.” Nanny McPhee actress Dame Emma Thompson helped to relieve a fellow uest’s coughing fit by passing a lozenge along line of attendees. Also present were Dame Judi Dench, Lionel Richie, Dame Joanna Lumley, Stephen Fry and he UK’s Chief Medical Adviser Chris Whitty. One unlikely pair to arrive together were high priest of goth rock Nick Cave and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. Pale, with jet-black hair, Cave said beforehand that while neither a monarchist nor a epublican, he held “an inexplicable emotional ttachment to the royals”. The Australian singer added that he was ntrigued by “the strangeness of them, the deeply eccentric nature of the whole affair hat so perfectly reflects the unique weirdness f Britain itself”. And he said of royal occasions: “I’m just drawn to that kind of thing — the bizarre, the uncanny, the stupefyingly spectacular, the we-inspiring.” It’s unlikely he would have been disappointed as events unfurled on Saturday.

YOU might expect CHLOE MADELEY to have followed fervently in the footsteps of her parents, daytime telly legends RICHARD MADELEY and JUDY FINNIGAN. But apart from a stint on Dancing on Ice in 2011, when she took third place, she has merely dabbled with the limelight — until now. I can reveal that Chloe has landed her own ITVBe reality show charting her life as a new mum after welcoming daughter Bodhi last August. Filming of the four-part series is under way, with cameras following Chloe and her husband, rugby champ turned pundit JAMES HASKELL, as they get to grips with being first-time parents. A TV insider said: “Chloe is a natural on TV and she and James together are great fun. Plus, James is loved from his time on I’m A Celebrity in 2019. “As well as all the trials and tribulations of parenthood, expect Chloe to open up on her mental health and to share her postpartum journey back to fitness so she can continue her career as a personal trainer, while James juggles life on the road with his punditry work and podcasts. “Of course everyone is hoping Richard and Judy will also feature as supportive grandparents.” The as-yet-untitled series is one of a number of new reality commissions for ITVX as the channel explores fresh talent. These have included GIOVANNA FLETCHER in Made In Italy and The Wanted singer TOM PARKER’s widow KELSEY with her moving series Life After Tom. Towie parenting spinoffs have proved popular on ITVBe. But it is thought James and Chloe will appeal to a slightly different audience to FERNE McCANN, BILLIE FAIERS and GEORGIA KOUSOULOU and TOMMY MALLET. The source added: “Landing both Chloe and James is a real catch for ITV. “But the focus will be on Chloe to suit ITVBe’s predominantly female audience.” I’m sure they won’t object to the occasional appearance from hunky James. CHLOE AND HER GIRL IN NEW REALITY SHOW tv biz THE Wiltshire cottage of posh Gogglebox couple MARY KILLEN and GILES WOOD is full of charity shop nicknacks rather than pricey antiques – or so Mary lets Giles believe. She said: “Nothing makes me happier than . . . a tour of the local charity shops. Yet all my exciting finds are invariably disparaged by Giles. ‘We have enough clutter already’, he grumbles.” In their new book Country Life, she adds: “It’s a different story when I have acquired a little luxury – but only if I have stuck a sticker on to it saying, ‘Shaw Ridge Charity Shop £2’. “I always hold on to charity shop stickers so I can reapply them to brand-new purchases when necessary.” Money-saving guru MARTIN LEWIS would be proud. ROWAN ATKINSON looks to have a rare failure on his hands with his much-hyped comedy series Man Vs Bee. Netflix says it has no plans for a second series to follow last summer’s ten-parter. In it, Blackadder and Mr Bean star Rowan played Trevor, a housesitter who wrecks a posh home as he tries to rid it of a bumblebee. But it drew mixed reviews from critics and even Rowan admitted he was not entirely satisfied with the show. He said on launching the comedy: “Whatever I do, and this includes Man Vs Bee, I always think I can do it better. “It’s a stressful thing to nearly always think there’s something better out there.” In its first month, the series was viewed for 25.4 million hours – feeble compared to Netflix record holder Stranger Things, whose fourth series was watched for 1.35 billion hours in the same period. SHOW FLOP . . . Rowan Atkinson FINDS . . . Mary FILMING has begun on the 13th series of Death In Paradise – and it has already proven to be unlucky for some of those involved. Lead actor RALF LITTLE, who plays DI Neville Parker in the BBC1 crime comedy drama, has issued a “devastating” update as he returned to Caribbean island Guadeloupe to start work. Chatting in an Instagram live video, Ralf said: “I arrived last Wednesday on the island and have done lots of things like setting the house up, moving everything in. “Getting over to the supermarket to buy essentials like salad cream and baked beans – and I couldn’t find either of them. “It is so devastating I don’t know how I will cope.” I’m sure a dose of tropical sunshine and a pina colada will help to ease your distress, Ralf. WOE . . Ralf KEVIN COSTNER’s Western hit Yellow- stone will end with its fifth season in November. But the saga – described as a modern-day Dallas follow- ing two ranching families in Montana – will live on in a sequel. Paramount+ said the new spin-off will air in December, straight after Yellowstone’s conclusion. More listings: Pages 34 & 35 THE future of Bridgerton prequel Queen Charlotte is being left open. On a second series, creator SHONDA RHIMES said: “There have been questions, but I’m not hav- ing conversations about it yet. We told a specific, closed-ended story that I think is a complete tale. But I’m not ruling anything out.” FANS of Netflix sci-fi drama Stranger Things will have to wait longer for the fifth and final season because of the writers’ strikes in the US. Showrunners MATT and ROSS DUFFER revealed they have postponed production. No new start date has been set, even though it is said the scripts are complete. In a post on Twitter, brothers Matt and Ross told fans: “Writing does not stop when filming begins. “While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. “We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. “Until then – over and out.” HALT . . . bros Edited by ROD McPHEE With FELICITY CROSS Email: rod.mcphee @the-sun.co.uk Twitter: @RodMcPhee TheSun ROWAN’S BEE LEFT NO BUZZ IT’S BEAN A CRISIS FOR RALF MARY IS CHARITY CHAMP THINGS HITS THE DUFFERS HELEN FLANAGAN has shared a sweet video online of her reuniting with her three kids after filming I’m A Celebrity . . . South Africa. She was pictured with Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, two, along with her ex-fiance and the children’s dad, footballer SCOTT SINCLAIR. Helen wrote: “I was away for a month and had never left my babies before.” The actress and her fellow celebs filmed the series in Kruger National Park last September. And in tonight’s episode, she reveals that her love of fake tan proved to be a problem for the crew on Coronation Street during her two decades as Rosie Webster. She said: “I used to get in trouble all the time. One time I’d be really pale and then the next time I’d be bright orange. If you do stuff like that, they go absolutely mental.” Fellow campmate DEAN GAFFNEY shared a similar continuity gaffe when he had a dodgy eyebrow tint while working on EastEnders. He added: “First person I saw was DANNY DYER. He was like, ‘You alright, son?’ But make-up were fuming.” I’m A Celebrity . . . South Africa continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.

The Dyers are on the penultimate leg of their travel series in Italy, in which they learn about religion and faith. By her own admission, Danny’s Love Island-winning daughter Dani isn’t overly spiritual, admitting her dabbles with meditation were overshadowed by fears she “forgot to put the dishwasher on”. But ex-EastEnder Danny is surprisingly deep, believing his career success is down to a “higher power”. So how will the father and daughter fare living a basic existence in a hilltop monastery in Roccatederighi, a three-hour drive from Rome (where Danny had earlier created beerflavoured ice cream)? Well, Danny’s vow to curb his swearing gets off to a disastrous start when he’s handed three jars of chickpeas tasked with preparing dinner, telling Dani “I’ll be s***ting for England”. But he then starts to bond with the monk, realising they have plenty in common. Danny says: “I’m a simple man. All I need is a fridge, telly and a bar of Dairy Milk . . . and maybe a dog.” The pair were then told to sweep up dust in and around the ancient chapel as part of their duties. “Just chuck it over the mountain, Dan”, Danny tells his tv last night 34 ...............

But what happens when you risk leaving it too late – and miss your chance altogether? When Amanda York, a yoga teacher from South East London, met James* their relationship was built on incredible sex. He did not want children, while she was yearning to be a mum. But, blinded by lust, she stuck by him, choosing electric lovemaking over babies in an increasingly toxic relationship. Now Amanda, 49, reveals her deep regret at not walking away sooner. SPOTTING James across the room at a crowded singles night, I knew he was my type. I’d been single for ten years — and at the age of 42, I was ready to finally meet the man of my dreams and settle down. James was tall, dark and handsome. We started chatting, I immediately fancied him and we really hit it off. Eventually he got distracted by a stunning blonde in a tiny corset, so he made his excuses and off he went to speak to her. I wasn’t too bothered. In fact, I snogged someone else while he was chatting her up, but later in the night I couldn’t stop thinking about him. At the end of the night, I made the bold move of approaching him again, asking for his number — and we met up the next weekend. Little did I know it was the start of the biggest mistake of my life, a series of events which would leave me childless at 49. I’m perimenopausal now and will never have my own kids due to wasting so much time with the wrong man. I feel like the ultimate cautionary tale — what not to do if you want to create a loving family. Looking back, I can see why I fell for James. We clicked immediately. We shared a sense of humour and both had high libidos. From then on, life was a whirlwind of sex and excitement. It was 2015 and I was working at a hotel gym at the time. Thanks to my staff discount, James and I stayed in a hotel almost every weekend, spending hours making love on luxury bedding and guzzling champagne from the mini bar. He was highly sexed but he was romantic as well. He knew all the right things to say. I was swept off my feet. James — who was in his late 30s — was living with his mum. That would usually have been a huge turn-off. I should have listened to my instincts but I was blinded by lust. And then, love. Things quickly progressed and I began to see a future with James. He was lots of fun, great in bed and seemed to be falling for me too. But one day, we were on Hampstead Heath after a lovely lie-in and a morning of great sex. It was a beautiful day and out of nowhere I felt something so overwhelming within me that I started to cry. It had dawned on me that I wanted children with James. Kids had never been on my list of priorities, but now, in my loved-up state, it became clear in my mind — I was 42 and yearned to be a mum. “Let’s have a baby,” I sobbed. But he was totally against it and said that we were fine just the two of us. I felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. In retrospect I should have walked away then. But I pushed my feelings aside, instead apologising profusely to him for ruining the day. The cracks started to appear fairly quickly after that. But the power of sex is amazing — it changes your way of thinking. In fact I didn’t think straight at all. I began to lose myself. I thought about him constantly, tending to his needs, making sure he was OK and neglecting myself. I was losing my spark. And with every passing day, I was losing my fertile years too. I was sure he would ask me to live with him and I was thrilled when he did. But I felt he never fully committed to me. ‘I paid the price’ After two years, we split when I realised I needed to prioritise myself. Only I did the exact opposite. I was absolutely heartbroken and became depressed, thin and I was drinking a lot. After a couple of months apart, in a moment of weakness, we got back together. We didn’t discuss kids at this point. I was just so low, I missed him and wanted him back. I realise now it was a huge mistake. For the next two years, I was a shell of myself. My friends had enough of me. I wish they’d been a bit stricter with me. They suspected James and I weren’t right for each other. But again, the sex . . . For all the bad times, our sexual chemistry was unmatched and I would try desperately to ignore that gnawing desire for children. We complemented each other well in the bedroom. He still turned me on and now I see I was blinded by that. I kept thinking: “We need to get back to a good place. Then he’ll change his mind about kids.” But he never did. I tried to build myself back up, I began working on my body, which by that point was tiny, and I even entered a national bikini competition called Galaxy Girls, which I won. But my self-worth was at an all-time low. As I edged closer and closer to menopause I could feel myself panicking that we’d never have kids and I’d never become a mum. The end of our relationship, five years after we met, was very simple. I’d booked a yoga workshop, which we were due to go to together, and he cancelled at the very last minute. For me, it was symbolic of our whole relationship — and I was fed up of feeling anxious and disappointed. I realised he’d do whatever he wanted. And if he didn’t want kids, we wouldn’t have them. All of a sudden, I was done. The ache I had in my heart, the yearning for a baby, didn’t disappear just because James did. I kick myself every day, wondering what had possessed me to stay. But I learnt from my doctor there are other ways to have children. I realised I don’t need a man to become a mother and it was only then that I started to look to the future. I am now 49, so I know my chances of having a baby naturally are incredibly slim. I’m trying to get my finances straight so I can foster children instead. There are so many orphaned children out there that need a home and I know I’d be an amazing mum. I’ve been largely single since splitting from James. I can’t be bothered with a man. I gave myself wholeheartedly to someone and ended up disappointed. I stayed longer than I should have, and I paid the price. These were my fertile years and now I’m alone and childless. I try every day to look on the bright side. I focus on my health and yoga and even got into burlesque. I did a lot of work on myself and I’m living my life in the best way I can. My message to other women really is: Please don’t waste your time. Men can move on and have their own kids with younger women, but we don’t have that option. Don’t ever let sex cloud your judgment — or you could regret it for the rest of your life. * James’s name has been changed.

It broke my heart and I didn’t think things would ever be the same. Still, I chose to stay with him. Since then I have caught him a handful of times speaking to her (always at her instigation, he says). d No matter what the issue, I answer every single problem ear deidre Was he a cheat with lying lady? Edited by SALLY LAND He always insisted there was nothing emotional or sexual to it and she has chased him every step of the way. I thought we had moved on and was looking forward to welcoming our baby until this bombshell news. She says he doesn’t love me and wants to be with her. My partner denied all of this, saying she was jealous. I am just utterly confused. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: I am sorry you are in such turmoil when you should be looking forward to the birth of your baby. For many people, an emotional affair is very like a sexual affair with feelings of betrayal and mistrust. It sounds as if this woman hasn’t accepted that your partner wants nothing more to do with her and is determined to ruin your future. You can get through this but don’t waste your energies on blaming the girl who fell for your partner. He’s the one who has hurt you. He must accept it’s his problem and make amends. And he must block her number and cease all communication to help regain your trust. My support pack Cheating – Can You Get Over It? will help you to think this through. I FELL out with my mother-in-law when she booked to go on a cruise after promising she’d help with my children when I had an operation. Since then I’ve tried to repair the relationship by inviting her to parties, days out, and so on, but it all falls on deaf ears – she completely blanks me. I have been trying to put the effort in so she can still be a part of her son and grandchildren’s lives, but she refuses to have anything to do with any of us. I’m 39 and my husband is 41. She is 65. My children wouldn’t recognise her in the street now. I fear the more absent she is, the less they will want to know about her. My husband used to defend his mum’s actions, but now he’s realised what she’s like. We’ve tried so hard, but haven’t had anything back from her. I don’t know what else to do. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: I understand your frustration with your mother-in-law and unfortunately family rifts normally lead to more unhappiness over the years. Could you write to her and say you feel your husband and children are all missing out because of your disagreement? Ask her to put your differences aside for the sake of them. Over time, it’s possible that things may change. This problem is more about her than it is about you. In the meantime, focus on your relationship. I hope she comes round and realises how wrong she is in taking this stance. SHOCKED I’VE BEEN BLOCKED BY HER MUM-IN-LAW WON’T MAKE UP EVEN FOR KIDS’ SAKE Dear Deidre Dear Deidre I’M heavily pregnant with our third child and a known liar has just told me she’s been having sex with my partner for four years. This woman has been lurking in the shadows of our life for over six years but I had always dismissed her as an attention seeker. My boyfriend told me not to trust anything she said and locally she was known as a total fantasist. But there is something about her latest claim that is unsettling me. I’m 34 and my partner’s 35. We’ve been together for 15 years and have two boys aged ten and eight. This woman, 29, has form for lying about having famous friends, dating rich and powerful men and for going behind the backs of female friends with their husbands. But six years ago my partner admitted to “an emotional affair” with her. They both insisted nothing physical happened between them, but they had exchanged messages telling one Dear Deidre A WOMAN I was talking to for more than a year has blocked my number suddenly. We had been getting on so well and were talking about getting married. Our relationship was longdistance – we live 200 miles apart. I’m 25 and she’s 23. We used to video call each other and would message constantly on social media, but then she blocked me on everything except Instagram. The video and voice calls stopped overnight. Things had been great, then she went away on a family holiday for a few weeks and when she returned she distanced herself from me. Our relationship felt very weird for a couple of weeks and then she sent one last message saying she didn’t want to waste my time. It is as if the last year meant nothing to her and I have been cut out of her life. I am hurt and I don’t know what to think as I can’t contact her so have no answers. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds like she has taken the coward’s way out. As you have no means of contacting her it would be best to accept this is over and move on. Perhaps she simply had a change of heart or her parents pressured her into giving you up while she was away with them. If she’s still living at home and reliant on them she would not want to go against them. My support pack Mend Your Broken Heart will help.

I know it’s the right decision for me but I do feel guilty on some level for walking out. I am 44 and my wife is 40. We were together for 20 years and have a boy aged 17 and a girl aged 15. But it became clear my wife doesn’t respect me and this filtered down to our children. I explained to them often that I didn’t like being continually ridiculed but they didn’t listen. I was miserable, so I decided to leave my family home and marriage. Soon after I met another woman at my gym who took an interest in me and valued me. We developed feelings for one another. I felt happiness for the first time in years. My family then saw how serious I was, but they seemed to think I should still take their jokes at my expense. When I told them I had no intention of returning, my wife seemed genuinely shocked. I realise I’d allowed a toxic relationship to occur. It feels as though there is no going back. I feel numb towards my wife but will do my duty and see my children once a month or so. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: Even when said in jest, some jokes are simply nasty so it’s not surprising you’ve had enough. Some people try to feel better about themselves by making fun of others. Your wife may have grown up in a family where mocking others was normal, but she set a bad example to your children who picked up that this was acceptable behaviour. While it’s understandable that you may not want to salvage your marriage, your children still need you. It’s important to stay in regular contact with them to support them and let them know you love them. Please contact familylives.org.uk for advice on staying connected with your children.

CONGRATULATIONS to King Charles III and Queen Camilla. I have always been a supporter of the monarchy and enjoyed The Sun’s Coronation Souvenir showing 1,152 years of British monarchs. As Heads of State they have the gift to unite a country, and yesterday our Royal Family did us proud. JANE HUNT Reading, Berks MILLIONS around the world watched the Coronation in awe. It was a traditional, well-organised service that saw Charles rightly crowned as King. He has dedicated 74 long years of service alongside Queen Elizabeth and is now the person he was born to be, King Charles III. Hip, hip hooray. NIGEL DOUGHTY Reydon, Suffolk THE Coronation was spectacular from start to finish, with immaculate planning. No doubt the eco-warriors will soon be complaining about all the hundreds of thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gases created by this event. The Tower of London should be able to accommodate them. CLARK CROSS Linlithgow, West Lothian WHAT a wonderful Coronation. No one does tradition like the British. Despite the awful weather, people of different faiths and backgrounds came together to cheer for the royals and everyone involved should be proud. God save the King. MATTHEW WILSON Wolverhampton IT is almost impossible to find words to describe the precision, pageantry and perfection of the Coronation. Thanks must go to those who planned it, those involved in the service, the Armed Forces, police and security, and the thousands of spectators along the route for the loyalty and enthusiasm they gave to an ancient tradition which they so obviously saw as being as relevant now as it was when first undertaken centuries ago. KEN POWELL Doncaster, South Yorks WHAT a great spectacle it turned out to be. No one does it better than the UK when putting on a big state occasion. Well done to all who took part! DIETER JOHANNSEN Ramsgate, Kent I HAVE two poignant memories of the glorious extravaganza that was the Coronation. The first was the servicemen giving the King and Queen three cheers. The second was the sad, lonely departure of Prince Harry. PETER CHESTER Hull, North Yorks TO see Camilla finally accepted by the people was wonderful. But how sad that Prince Harry scurried off to Heathrow 35 minutes after the ceremony to get back to Meghan. ROSIE REARDON Ballyward, County Down Coronation did us proud email, fax, write or comment online We pay £50 for our Star Letter of the day: Email [email protected].

You can share your views at thesun.co.uk £50 LETTER WE can always rely on the Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards. He produced the most beautiful photo of King Charles and Queen Camilla on the balcony. I hope it’s Sir Arthur soon. LESLEY ELSOM Melton Mowbray, Leics WIKILEAKS’ Julian Assange, who invited King Charles to visit him at Belmarsh prison, has been detained for four years without trial over leaked documents relating to Afghanistan and Iraq. Are the authorities afraid he might reveal details they would rather keep secret? MICHAEL FROST Romford, Essex PRINCE Harry looked sad and lonely at the Coronation. I bet he wished he’d not come. RICHARD FARRAR Kensington, West London POOR Harry. He needed to get back for his son’s birthday. Leave him alone. JENNY RIDING Castleford, West Yorks DANCER Graziano Di Prima says he has an “unbreakable bond” with his former Strictly partner Kym Marsh, who is now single. If they are a couple, it won’t be a surprise. SUZY SAMMS Ballynahinch, Co Down FULL marks to the police for arresting anti-royal protestors at the Coronation.

So you are the one who can get closer to where you want to be. Even if you don’t yet realise you have this power. “A” destinations, and people, can be particularly significant. A friends or family group is changing, and your position is not going to be the same – but this can be a positive step. If you do know you have grown out of one role and need something bigger, or better, make this your moment to claim it. One voice that turns into many today can be your marker of a new luck phase. A choice of potential celebration paths is one gift from Jupiter today – and the good news is you can step on to both, and meet someone who can go on to change your life. Two different people in different places, who bring the prospect of a different future. Money-wise, trying a new cash scheme is a great idea. You’re more ready to be honest with special people than you think – and although it feels risky to reveal your deepest doubts, or desires, it can take you towards secure territory. As rebel Uranus carries on activating your sign, you can come up with ways to get your profile seen, and followed. Luck opens a green door. Venus can warm up financial affairs as well as feelings, and meeting someone who combines the two – perhaps by offering you a share in a special purchase – can flick a love switch. Or, if already attached, partners can agree on the best way forward, money-wise. This can include a change in household shape or size. When passion planet Venus settles down in your sign everyone will notice, including yourself. Letting negative views go, and trying to see the best in everyone is a great tactic for the next few weeks. Relationships flourish when no one plays the blame game. A money deal with your name on it is moving again. A “P” encounter where flags flutter is the centrepiece of your day – but there can be some upticks in terms of health and wealth, as Neptune coaches you to approach issues from am unexpected angle. For love, you can take a more hard-line attitude with your heart, and expect to get the respect you know you have earned. As love horizons expand, so does your confidence – because you see how far you can go on your own. So travelling with someone else is a choice, not a necessity. If single, someone you first see serving food to a crowd can be a luscious love interest. Luck is with you when you choose between two job applications. Family time is more precious when it is limited, so offer what you can, and set aside any guilt about what you can’t. Your zone of intimate bonding is red hot today and if you can’t shake the memory of how someone made you feel, do act on this and make contact again. The moon makes you an expert people reader. With Venus in your marriage zone, love promises and prospects can appear out of the blue. And a time of doubting your feelings – positive or negative – can end. Above all, you realise you can trust your emotional judgment. Contests linked to your address, or with homes as prizes, have exciting space for you. The kind of friend you are – and could be – is under the scrutiny of the moon. If you know you should be more upfront, perhaps about recent changes, then today you can take action. Love can mean making waves as well as enjoying calm waters. A bargain buy you assumed gone forever can return, so be ready. What a day for fun and sheer romance – as Venus starts a stint in your risk-taking zone. It’s not certain what will happen if/when you reveal your feelings. But it’s worth the risk, if you know you’ve held things back too long already. Open-air music, or dancing, can be part of your luck ticket, along with number “5”.

HIGHWAYGREY (2.55 Ayr, nap) was a decent third when still rusty on comeback at Haydock last week. He won on his last crack at this course and distance and is effectively 1lb lower in the weights thanks to his jockey’s claim. H CALCUTTA DREAM (6.05 Newcastle, nb) loves this specialists’ track and won nicely here before a close second at Wolverhampton last time over a shorter trip. This distance is ideal and he still looks a step ahead of the handicapper. H KATH’S TOYBOY (5.20 Southwell, treble) battled well to win here before just going down in a headbobber last time when the drop to six furlongs wasn’t ideal. The winner there has gone in again in hotter company and my fancy can frank the form again. MURPHY’S MAWJ THE MERRIER... OISIN CLASSIC JOY IT’S like he never went away. Oisin Murphy banished the ghosts of the last few years with a brilliant 1,000 Guineas win on the gutsy Mawj. The three-time champion returned from his 14-month ban in mid-February and has been a man on a mission in the early weeks of the Flat season. He reached his lowest point in late 2021 when, shortly after a drunken scrap in a Newmarket pub, he was given a whopping suspension for failed alcohol tests and a serious Covid-19 breach. Murphy, 27, had plenty of time to reflect on his actions and appears a reformed character these days. He might be living the life of a saint off the track now, but his killer’s instinct in the saddle hasn’t gone anywhere. He didn’t just throw the kitchen sink at Mawj but the table, chairs and every utensil in sight, too. She looked a sitting duck when the 13-8 favourite Tahyira loomed up going well for Chris Hayes. B u t t h e Ir i sh raider could never quite get past the game Godolphin runner, who battled like a lion for Murphy (right) to win by half a length at 9-1. The pair opened up a yawning seven and a half length gap back to the third Matilda Picotte and there will surely be a rematch in Ireland or Royal Ascot. That’s for another day, Murphy wanted to enjoy this one first. He said: “I would say relief is what I’m feeling at the moment and it may take a little while to sink in. “I think you saw two top class fillies in that race - they pulled so far clear of the rest and I had the perfect partner. “She travelled and picked up and finished and even walked back in like a champion, posing for all the photos. “I was so lucky to win on Kameko for Andrew Balding here in the 2,000 Guineas during Covid but, sadly, everyone was watching from home so there wasn’t the same buzz as for this. “To win another one is great and I’ll be trying to win as many as I can, particularly with Frankie saying he’s retiring. But he may not retire, we’ll have to wait and see!” It wasn’t just the jockey who was catapulted back into the big time as it has been a long time between drinks for popular trainer Saeed bin Suroor. The one-time champion trainer has been forced to look on helplessly as Sheikh Mohammed sent all of his big-money buys to Charlie Appleby. He even publicly bemoaned the quality of horses being sent his way in 2018, which led to former Godolphin big cheese John Ferguson resigning from his post. But Suroor, 54, can still get the job done if given the ammo and this ended his 14-year drought without a Classic success - and 10-year wait for a domestic Group 1. He said: “I think this my 19 5th Group 1 winner around the world and it is a great boost for everyone in the stable. “She is a tiny filly but she has a big heart and she was in great form coming into the race. “Charlie Appleby and I are a good team. He worked for me for a long time and has become one of the best trainers now. We are good friends. “We will keep all the options open as I want to see how she comes back after the race, so we will talk to Sheikh Mohammed and make a decision in a week or two. “It means a lot to us all it has certainly been a long time since we won a Classic in England and Oisin gave her a great ride.” The day got even better for the boys in blue when former Derby hero Adayar bolted up on his return in the rescheduled Gordon Richards Stakes. He was crocked for the first half of last season and Appleby says the fiveyear-old has unfinished business to attend to this summer. He will have plenty of big days over the next few months - so too will Murphy and Mawj. JACK KEENE at Newmarket Guineas glory for Godolphin CLASSIC DUEL. . .

the obvious next step. “He is in the Irish 2,000 Guineas but that is only a few weeks away and giving him a bit more time between races would be sensible.” He added: “It was incredible to give Frankie another Classic winner, what can you say about him? “He’s just fabulous. “Ever since I’ve been in racing he has been an omnipresent superstar of the sport and what a fitting way to ride his last 2,000 Guineas. “I was worried about the ground as it obviously makes it a bit more of a test, but he’s got everything — and what a fabulous ride. “There’s no such thing as an armchair ride and to get the fractions that good and timing perfect is why he’s been such a star. “I just can’t thank the team at home enough — it doesn’t happen by accident. “As I told readers of the Favourite on Saturday, there are a lot of people involved and I couldn’t be anymore thankful for everyone who have done their bit at home. “Saturday was just a wonderful day all round, a day to remember for so many reasons. We will worry about the rest of the season when we have had a few days to recover and cherish this win.” CHILLED out Andrew Balding By JACK KEENE is cold about a crack at the Derby with Chaldean. The top trainer and newlycrowned Sunracing columnist reckons his superstar colt is a ‘miler through and through’. The son of Frankel ran out a hugely impressive winner of the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday. He galloped powerfully through the mud under an ebullient Frankie Dettori, forging clear in the final 100 yards to win by a length and three quarters. He clearly has the speed for a mile but, given the way he finished off his race in testing conditions, he looks sure to get further. But Kingsclere-based Balding, 50, has ruled out a step up to a mile and a half at Epsom on June 3. The colt will instead be aimed at the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot — with a step up in distance likely to come later in the season at York. Balding — who signed for Sunracing on the morning of his 2,000 Guineas glory — said: “To me Chaldean is a miler through and through so we will keep him at that trip for the time being. “Any potential step-up in trip may come in the Juddmonte International. He is a machine but he has had a hard enough race in 48............... Monday, May 8, 2023

He’s not bred for these marathon trips but has improved plenty of late on the all weather. He ran an eye-catching second at Kempton in April and is nicely weighted for this big handicap. This must have been the plan ever since that run. GOOD WORK Geezer on the gallops eezer on the gallops CALLUM JAMIESON STOUTE STUFF IF Sir Michael Stoute, 77, is going to call it a day anytime soon he is going to be bowing out in style. Last week he was entered into racing’s new Hall Of Fame and he might just have the best team of horses he has had in over a decade. Infi nite Cosmos looked the real deal at Newmarket and is now Oaks favourite while The King’s Circle Of Fire will be fancied wherever he turns up at Royal Ascot. Passenger is on the Derby trail while Desert Crown is set to return at Sandown at the end of the month. Bay Bridge is headed to Ireland next for the Tattersalls Gold Cup and look out for a fi lly called Stormy Sea. The old boy is still going great guns alright. BILLY IN TOP GEAR YOUNG gun Billy Loughnane had his fi rst spin in a Classic at Newmarket over the weekend. The 17-year-old is the apprentice everyone wants on their horses and his old man, trainer Mark Loughnane, has been dealing with all the calls. Not only that, but he’s had to drive him up and down the country to get him to the track. Loughane is not far off losing his claim, but it’s the ‘L’ plates his dad is most desperate for him to lose! So forget the ride in the 1,000 Guineas, Loughnane Sr was over the moon when he passed his driving test at the FIRST attempt last Thursday. If he can steer a VW Polo as well as he can a horse, was it ever in doubt? Is there anything Billy The Kid can’t do? THE team at all-conquering Clarehaven are purring about Derby hope ARREST. John Gosden’s colt is lined up to run at Chester this week with Frankie booked. He’s working well and has physically developed into a monster threeyear-old. He’s 25-1 for Epsom. GAS LEAK Will bugged by virus WILLIAM HAGGAS has not had the easiest start to the season. His team are reported to have had a bit of the sniffles going round. After waving goodbye to brilliant Baaeed at the end of the last campaign, the Newmarket maestro w a s d e s p e r a t e t o continue the momentum. Haggas (below) was never going to stumble across another star like Baaeed but his string has struggled for form. T o a d d i n s u l t t o injury, his jockey Tom M a r q u a n d has been in the wars. He got a nasty kick on the way to the start during the Guineas meeting and suffered an inch deep cut on his elbow. Ouch. He’s had plenty of stitches and is unlikely to be back for the key Chester meeting this week. Cieren Fallon will step up in his place. But there aren’t many nags for him to ride at the moment as Haggas has been very, very quiet. Last week at Ascot’s Trials Day he pulled out big gun My Prospero and exciting Orchid Bloom due to bad scopes. And at the Guineas meeting, Haggas had just ONE runner over the three days. Winners have popped up at regular intervals over the last fortnight. However, they always will with the amount of ammo Haggas has to fire. Dubai Honour’s m o n e y - s p i n n i n g exploits have kept things ticking over in this early part of the season. H o w e v e r , on the home front, punters h a v e b e e n getting seriously burned . . . with 13 of his last 15 favourites getting beaten. Experienced Haggas will not be panicking and things will come good even if he will struggle to hit the heights of last term. The Flat season is a marathon, not a sprint. Every yard goes through these phases. Haggas and his wife Maureen, a key cog in the wheel, will deal with it better than most. WEEKEND WARRIOR 4.30 MAIDEN STAKES; 2-y-o; winner €15,000; 7f 100yds.

The 8-1 shot sprung a surprise when running out an easy three-length winner ahead of Up And Under with 6-4 favourite Proud And Regal third. Aidan O’Brien could manage only fourth with Londoner. Harrington’s son of Churchill has been cut to 16-1 from 50s for Epsom. Winning jockey Shane Foley said: “He’ll be a Derby horse hopefully. “He gave me a proper feel. When I gave him a squeeze he came back underneath me.” Sprewell (right) easily galloped clear in a race Ballydoyle has dominated. Foley said: “It’s nice for it to go to one of the other yards for a change. It was a proper-run race and a good one.” It will be an emotional win for Harrington who has been receiving treatment for breast cancer. Ger Lyons and Colin Keane landed a Group 3 double on the card. Power Under Me came out best in a battle with You Send Me to take the Amethyst Stakes. Delighted Lyons said: “Colin said it turned into a bit of a sprint which suited him. “Seven furlongs to a mile and Listed or Group 3 is his thing. You will never see him on quicker than good to soft.” The pair also teamed up to take the Cornelscourt Stakes with Zarinsk. Keane kept it simple from the front to win at 11-2. Lyons is eyeing a trip abroad for the fi lly. He said: “It’s all about blacktype for her. We are delighted with this.” By EAMONN HAMES TOTAL WINS TO RIDES RIDES £1 LEVEL WINS LAST WEEK SINCE WIN STAKE 64 R Ryan 7-39 2 -26 58 D Muscutt 2-22 10 +2 52 O Murphy 10-48 2 -36 45 B Loughnane 2-32 8 +20 45 D Probert 7-40 3 -32 45 K Stott 5-22 8 -34 40 L Morris 5-35 0 -72 35 J Hart 3-27 3 -39 31 R Havlin 5-14 4 -24 27 H Doyle 4-32 4 -34 25 P Mulrennan 5-39 6 -28 25 W Buick 10-39 1 -9 24 J Mitchell 2-14 6 -15 21 C Lee 2-16 0 -93 20 O Orr 4-27 2 -20 TOTAL WINS TO RUNNERS STRIKE £1 LEVEL WINS LAST WEEK RATE % STAKE 45 A Balding 8-40 22 +34 45 M Appleby 0-24 13 -13 36 C Johnston 4-41 14 -43 33 A Carroll 1-34 9 -119 33 A Watson 6-28 18 -18 31 G Boughey 6-28 16 -39 29 C Appleby 5-25 28 +14 25 G L Moore 7-16 27 +25 25 J & T Gosden 5-18 24 +1 24 M Loughnane 0-8 16 -3 24 R Fahey 4-29 16 +35 22 C Hills 4-22 21 -9 22 K P De Foy 1-16 18 +23 21 P Evans 1-10 13 -32 20 D O’Meara 6-43 11 +29 50 ...............
