Woman died after falling on escalator inside a shopping centre
A pensioner died after she fell on an escalator in a WHSmith store in Wales, an inquest has heard. Margaret Rose Harris, 90, had been shopping in the Quadrant Shopping Centre in Swansea when the accident unfolded on January 21. She suffered 'traumatic lacerations' to her right leg, which she tried to recover from. During an inquest into her death, held at Swansea's Guildhall yesterday, the coroner heard that the retired administrator was prescribed apixaban and aspirin, but the medications failed to stop the bleeding from her wounds. The medications would have contributed to the continuous bleeding, it heard. Ms Harris, from St Thomas, died shortly after the shopping centre accident. There were found to be no faults with the escalator or the surrounding environment. Senior coroner Aled Gruffydd concluded her death was an accident. In an online notice page, tributes have been paid to Margaret from her family and friends. Helen Taylor, a former neighbour, wrote: 'I had the pleasure of having this lovely lady as a neighbour and friend. She was kind, extremely intelligent and honourable which is a rare breed today. 'I feel blessed that in her twilight years myself and my family got to know her and have the pleasure of her company. She was the first person to give my daughter an encyclopedia and encourage a love of reading in her so for this I am grateful. I will miss you Rose as you certainly touched my life. 'Rest in peace lovely lady.' More Trending A message from her family read: 'Loving sister of the late Betty, Ron and John, much loved aunt of Tricia, Karl, Avril and the late Susan and families, dear great aunt and great great aunt. 'Rose will be deeply missed by all her family and friends who knew and loved her.' The accident happened just weeks after a man died when he fell from the upper level of a shopping centre in Birmingham. The man fell to his death from the upper floor of the Bullring & Grand Central in December shortly before closing time.

Welsh language learning in North Wales sees increase
A new partnership between the Welsh Government, the National Eisteddfod, and the National Centre for Learning Welsh has expanded Maes D, the Eisteddfod's dedicated space for learners. Visitors can stop by Caffi Maes D for a paned a sgwrs (cuppa and chat) in Welsh with fellow learners and volunteers. The Welsh Government's Welsh Communities Commission is exploring how to support the growth of Cymraeg in areas where it is less widely spoken. Welsh Language Secretary Mark Drakeford said: "Welsh is our national language and every community has an important role in its future. "The research we are doing will inform future policy development and ensure that communities like Wrexham receive support. "Cymraeg belongs to us all, which is exactly what we're seeing through the growing enthusiasm here. "It's fantastic to see the Eisteddfod celebrated in Wrexham and lots of learners participating in it." The Eisteddfod, which continues until Saturday, offers a wide range of events and activities for people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy and take part in.
