She added: "Being able to use analogue film for this project added a sense of continuity with our transport heritage, and it was especially meaningful to shoot with a vintage film camera once used by a London Transport Museum photographer."Matt Brosnan, head curator at the museum, said photography "played a vital role in documenting the lives of Londoners as they travel across the city and its transport workers as they keep our capital moving. "Our striking archive images bring to life London's rich history and transport past. "These images reveal not only how the city has changed, but also how transport continues to shape the lives of Londoners every day."

Maya Jama left stunned as Love Island star's mum admits ‘I didn't know who you were' before son joined show
MAYA Jama was left stunned when a Love Island star's mum admitted she "didn't know who the presenter was" before her son joined the show. Host Maya, 30, looked surprised when Harry's mum made the confession on last night's Love Island: Aftersun. 6 6 6 6 As the host chatted to Harry 's mother, she admitted that she had never watched Love Island. She said she had no idea how the show worked, until her son was on it. Looking at Maya, she then said: "I didn't even know who you were!" The A-list host looked stunned by confession as she continued the interview. Harry's mum had a lot to say last night which even saw her "disown" her son. It came after they talked about his antics in the villa which have seen him couple up with Helena, then snog Yasmin, before deciding he really wants to be with Shakira. Speaking about his behaviour, Harry's mum said: 'I do not recognise him. "He just says what he wants to say and it just seems to roll off his tongue so easily.' Harry mum then said: 'On more than one occasion I've completely disowned him. Harry who? "How can you forget the cameras are on you?' Maya Jama makes embarrassing blunder live on Love Island: Aftersun after suffering wardrobe malfunction AFTERSUN SLIP UP It was quite an eventful night on Aftersun last night, which saw a few blunders occur. The first one happened when Maya was chatting to Love Island legend Amy Hart, influencer Ash Holme and superfan Sam Thompson about the ongoing drama in the villa. However, during the chat she lost an earring after getting a little too excited. The host was left scrambling after one of her shell earrings fell out of her earlobe mid-chat. 6 6 She attempted to move the conversation to a new set of Islanders as she declared: "Onto Helena and Harry now." But turning away from the panel, she gasped: "Oops, lost an earring". The director was forced to cut to a wide shot of the studio instead of the usual closeup as she tried to find the accessory on the sofa. Later Maya made another blunder when she got a guest's name wrong. Malisha was previously dumped from the villa, after bombshell Harrison chose Toni to couple up with. When referring to her eviction, Maya accidently referred to the star as one of the contestants who was still in the villa. Before introducing Malisha into the studio, the presenter enthusiastically said: "Let's welcome our bombshell, queen Alima ... Malisha!" The star waved her arms up in the air in frustration after she immediately corrected the slip up. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

The FREE gift teachers want from students at the end of the year – it takes minutes to do & isn't a handwritten card
WITH the end of term fast approaching, if you have no idea what to get your child's teacher, you've come to the right place. So if you've got a little one and aren't sure whether to buy their teacher a gift card, a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates to say thank you, don't worry, we've got you covered. 6 6 6 6 It comes after a mum-of-two named Lou took to social media to ask teachers what gifts they actually want to receive. The content creator shared her short clip with the caption 'Primary school teacher gifts help?!' Alongside her video, Lou then asked: 'Primary school teachers: What makes a great gift? 'I don't want to just get a mug or a key ring. 'Tell me something you actually WANT to get?' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ lemon_squeezey, was posted just three days ago, but has quickly racked up 242,600 views, 566 likes and 916 comments. Teachers But there's also a free item that takes minutes to do and isn't a handmade card. Not only this, but others swore by DIY crafts, whilst some teachers would prefer to receive something a bit more fun. At the same time, teachers also acknowledged the gifts they do not want to receive - and key rings are firmly on the list. I'm a teacher & there are four end of term gifts I can't STAND receiving One teacher shared a free idea that is so simple but really effective: "An email to the headteacher saying how amazing we are." To this, Lou replied: "Love this idea, 100% going to do this!" Another responded and agreed: "I am a secondary teacher - and I would say it works even better (emailing headteacher) than in primary. We rarely get presents etc and even more rarely get recognised for our work!" At the same time, someone else responded: "Yes this would be a great gift. Appreciation is the best gift." Not only this, but other teachers revealed alternative gifts they would love to receive, as one person said: 'A card is perfect but if you can a voucher is much appreciated. Should you buy a teacher a gift? IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term. Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school. "But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too. "With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business. "And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation. "After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation? "I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers. "While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for. "And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget." "Please no coffee cups or key rings or things like that.' Another added: 'The most useful present I ever got was a gift card. The whole class contributed to an M&S Voucher. I had £200 and bought new bedding and new towels and honestly was so appreciative as I'd wanted to replace them for ages.' Whilst a third commented: 'I had a lovely little notebook and the mum had written a little message inside saying what a fantastic job I had done with supporting her son. That appreciation meant the world to me.' My class last year all clubbed together and got the teacher and myself a John Lewis voucher TikTok user Not only this, but the woman continued: 'I also had a pot that was hand-printed by the child and was dated, which is also something to cherish.' Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: 'I work in a school, and whilst everything is absolutely appreciated, one class all put together and bought us a bottomless brunch in Manchester. It was lovely!' At the same time, another user explained: 'I am a LSA [Learning Support Assistant] and don't expect gifts but love a homemade card. "My class last year all clubbed together and got the teacher and myself a John Lewis voucher.'

Premier League footballer 'accused of cheating with Love Island's Meg Moore before splashing out on a £40k Audi to apologise to partner'
A Premier League footballer has been accused of cheating with Love Island star Megan Moore. According to reports, the sportsman allegedly hooked up with the 25-year-old payroll specialist shortly before she jetted off to Majorca to join the ITV2 dating show. It is said that the football ace, who has not been named, went on to buy his partner a £40,000 Audi as a way of an apology amid the accusation. The Sun reports that Megan (known as Meg) and the footballer were seen getting 'increasingly tactile' as they downed shots together on a night out, while his girlfriend remained at home. Friends of the girlfriend were said to have informed her of the footballer's actions after Meg had already flown to Spain to film Love Island. However, she was reportedly cheered after her partner purchased a brand new motor 'straight off the garage forecourt' as an 'apology gift'. A source told publication: 'The footie ace and Megan have known each other since they were teenagers. At the start of June, days before Meg left for Love Island, they were out with mutual friends and met in a pub. 'Megan and him had a few drinks together and started doing shots. They were side-by-side all night. 'Everyone went out into town, but the two of them veered off from the group and went back to Meg's place. They spent the night together.' The insider added that the girlfriend and her pals have been tuning in to Love Island and have been voting against Meg 'at every opportunity'. They went on to add that the WAG and the sportsman, who've been together for over a year, are 'still together', but she 'feels worthless' following his alleged dalliance with the Love Island beauty. MailOnline have contacted Premier League, Football Association and Love Island representatives for comment. Meanwhile, on Love Island, Meg has been enjoying a romance with another footballer, Dejon Noel-Williams, 26. The blonde beauty coupled up with the professional footballer from London on day one, with their relationship facing plenty of ups and downs since. The Sun reports that Megan (known as Meg) and the footballer were seen getting 'increasingly tactile' as they downed shots together on a night out, while his girlfriend remained at home The pair have been embroiled in a number of rows, most recently amid comments of a threesome between bombshells Toni and Yasmin. However, the couple have so far stuck together, with Meg seemingly forgiving Dejon for his flirty antics. Ahead of joining the villa, Meg revealed how she dropped out of last year's series. Meg had applied for 2024's season but didn't end up entering the villa. Now, she has admitted she 'felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in'. The 25-year-old from Southampton continued living her normal life until she was approached again this year and thought, 'what have I got to lose?' She explained: 'So I applied and did a few Teams interviews or Zoom and then I went up to London, and obviously met the casting, had an interview with them.' Meg was then kept up to date with things about the show in a WhatsApp group where she would say who she 'fancied' and who her 'top three' would be. 'Then it just got to the point where I felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in, like I just didn't really think, yeah, we'd really get on with that person,' she admitted. Ahead of joining the villa, Meg revealed how she dropped out of last year's series 'So they always kept me in the loop and then it just all happened really quickly, to be honest,' Meg added. 'I didn't really think about it, I was still living my normal life. So then obviously, it come around again this year and then they said, 'Meg, would you go for it again?' And I was like, 'Well, nothing's changed',' she revealed. The new islander went on, 'We've been on no dates, I'm still single, so what have I got to lose?' This series marks the tenth anniversary of the ITV show and despite there being plenty of stars in the villa, Meg admitted she hasn't really 'looked up' to any of the previous islanders and celebrities. Instead, she feels like 'you just have to be you' and get to know others for who they really are. 'I think you take you for you, and I think that's what people need to do, and that's what I'll be doing anyway, because I don't think you should change for anyone,' she added.
