Sources close to the Palace said: “The Duchess wanted to pay her respects to Sarah and her family.

“She remembers what it felt like to walk around London at night before she got married.” Image
The Duchess’s unannounced appearance had echoes of those made by Princess Diana, whose surprise visits, including to see Aids patients, were credited with changing public perception of difficult subjects, reports Senior Reporter Patrick Sawer. Image
In spite of the official event being cancelled, thousands attended Clapham Common on Saturday.

The crowd chanted: "Sisters united will never be defeated."

Some held placards reading "we will not be silenced", and "she was just walking home". Image
As the evening went on, the crowd became angry as police tried to remove protestors from the bandstand.

People chanted “Let her speak” and “Shame on you” as police attempted to forcibly remove three female speakers. Image
A fundraising campaign set up this morning by Reclaim These Streets passed its target of £320,000 as crowds gathered in Clapham Common to remember Sarah Everard. Image
As dusk fell around the Clapham Common bandstand hundreds of women, who defied orders of the Metropolitan Police, gathered to pay their respects to Sarah Everard.

Britain’s Covid death toll is the fifth highest in the world, and the fourth-highest per capita of any major country. So why did so many people die in the world’s fifth-richest country?

Here are 10 reasons…🧵

telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/1…
1⃣ A global hub

Airlines in the UK and Ireland carried more passengers in 2019 than any other country apart from China and the US.

A high number of arrivals means there is a far higher chance of the virus being seeded in the UK before the Government was aware of the danger. Image
2⃣ A crowded island

Britain is the third-most crowded major country in Europe, making it the perfect place for a pandemic to spread, with huge international visitor numbers tightly packed together, particularly in London. Image

Tracked down by the Telegraph, the one-time London schoolgirl declined to be interviewed, but agreed to pose for photographs.

With her straightened hair and Western clothing, Ms Begum today looks nothing like the niqab-clad teen who became the poster child for Britain’s so-called “Isil brides”.

During her time at Roj camp in northeast Syria, Ms Begum's appearance has gradually changed as she first abandoned the black full length gown and later stopped wearing headscarves.

#MothersDay2021, the celebration of mums far and wide, is here.

Many are set to give presents to their maternal figures as a thank you for all they do. 💐💝

But how did 'going-a-mothering' become a date to celebrate mums far and wide?

~thread
telegraph.co.uk/family/parenti…
Celebrations of motherly figures date back to ancient periods.

Yet, the early Christian date, known as #MotheringSunday, is the first clear recognition of the maternal bond, beginning as a religious occasion in the 16th century to give thanks to the Virgin Mary, or Mother Mary
While Mothering Sunday had a significant following for many centuries, by the early 1900s it began to decline, following the Americanisation of Mother's Day.

American social activist Anna Jarvis was behind the creation of #MothersDay, lobbying the government for an official date

🏡 Dean Poulton and Borja de Maqua came up with an extreme lockdown project: doing up a run-down 18th-century estate on a budget.

Here's how they did it 👇
The couple, an architect and a surveyor, have captured the imagination of more than 80,000 Instagram followers.

They bought the property in March 2019, with the plan to live in it while doing it up and, eventually, let parts of it out as holiday accommodation
The estate comprises a three-storey Georgian manor house, adjoining servants’ quarters, a caretaker’s cottage dating back to Tudor times, and a gardener’s cottage and piggery, all set in rural Warwickshire.

Here is how the kitchen turned out 👇 Image
