David Bowie: Site of Ziggy Stardust pub could become housing
In their application documents, developers Countryside Partnerships and the Guinness Partnership said the scheme would turn the Signal Park site into a "vibrant new destination in Kingston".Pedestrian and cycle routes would be created at the site, which is next to Tolworth station, while the public square that was built in phase one would be extended.The application provides detailed designs for 336 proposed homes arranged in four blocks up to 16 storeys tall, along with outline plans for 629 more homes. Bowie, who died in 2016, created the Ziggy Stardust character - an androgynous, alien rock star - as a stage persona in 1972.The character, closely associated with the Bowie album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, was retired by the singer in 1973.

Live Euromillions results for Friday, August 15: The winning numbers from £201m draw and Thunderball
Below you'll find the winning numbers for tonight's Euromillions draw and Thunderball as they're drawn. The Euromillions jackpot for Friday, August 15, was a massive £201m. The Euromillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday and a ticket costs £2.50. That includes automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw which creates new UK millionaires every week. The overall jackpot can rise to €190m (approximately £167m). If you bought a ticket you can check your numbers below. Good luck! How many numbers do you need to win? If you have got two numbers or one number and two lucky stars or better then you are a winner. Players must match all five main numbers and two lucky star numbers to claim the jackpot. The Thunderball draw was also made tonight and the results will also be displayed below. The Thunderball draw takes place at 8pm and the Euromillions draw takes place at around 8.15pm. In May 2022 Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, became the UK's biggest-ever Euromillions winners after netting £184m with a lucky dip ticket. Their record did not last long, though, after another UK winner came forward in July 2022 to claim a jackpot of £195m. However they have not gone public. Prior to Mr and Mrs Thwaite's win the previous record was held by an anonymous winner who scooped £170m in October 2019. On June 4, 2021, a ticketholder in the UK scooped the £111m jackpot in the Friday-night draw, matching all seven numbers to become the country's ninth-biggest lottery winner ever at that stage. In June 2019 a single ticketholder in the UK won £123m in the Tuesday night Euromillions draw. It was the third-biggest Euromillions jackpot in the UK since the draw launched in 2004. It meant they instantly became as rich as Fifty Shades of Grey author EL James (£127m) and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page (£125m). June 2023 was a lucrative month for UK players with a ticketholder bagging a £117.1m jackpot on June 2 while another winner scooped the £55m jackpot on June 20. Euromillions is played in nine European countries. Get the results:

Monty Python classic to be screened at Scottish castle
Funded by investors including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, the film was mostly shot on location in Scotland. According to Eric Idle the film had a total budget of £175k (around £1.6m adjusted for inflation), with the Pythons making a joke of the fact by eschewing real horses in favour of miming horse riding while porters banged coconut shells together. Read More: Much of the filming took place at Doune Castle, including a famous scene with a rude French knight who tells the grail-seekers "your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" before firing livestock at them from a catapult. To celebrate 50 years of the film, exclusive screenings will be shown at the castle from Friday 22 August to Sunday 24. Gillian Urquhart, Events Manager at HES, said: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail is an iconic film which has been loved by audiences for 50 years. To celebrate the anniversary of its the release, we're delighted to host showings of the film in the historic Doune Castle which served as the backdrop to a number of filming locations.' The screenings will take place in the historic Great Hall from the HES website.
