Camilla laments library closures in visit to Edinburgh community hub
The Queen has lamented library closures across the country as she celebrated a thriving example in Edinburgh. Camilla told a group of librarians, figures from the city's annual literary festival and leading writers that she 'wished' more people would open such facilities as she officially launched Ratho Library in Newbridge. Her words were echoed by celebrated Scottish crime writer Sir Ian Rankin, who praised the resources his local centre provided when he was growing up, saying: 'Without libraries I wouldn't be here.' The Queen, who has a passion for reading and officially supports a number of literary organisations, also chatted to Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn, and told her: 'I'm very partial to crime novels.' In an impromptu speech, she said her visit 'has just reinforced my belief in what wonderful places libraries are, literally from toddlers to pensioners – they manage to inspire a love of reading of books. 'And to actually see a new library like this… I wish a lot of other people would follow your example and open more libraries all over the country, because I think, sadly, a lot of them have been closing down. 'So to see something as wonderful as this being reopened is all to the credit to all of you who've made it happen.' The BBC reported in September that more than 180 council-run libraries have either closed or been handed over to volunteer groups in the UK since 2016 after the corporation submitted Freedom of Information requests. In contrast, Edinburgh City Council has made a commitment to its 28 public libraries to continue developing the resources as thriving community spaces. Sir Ian, famed for his series of Inspector Rebus books, is also Deputy Lieutenant of Edinburgh, and said following the royal visit: 'Libraries are an easy cut and I can understand why councils do it – it's an invisible cut, almost. 'But it's such a crucial thing – libraries are crucial for every generation from the very beginning to the very end.' Sir Ian added that to 'be a reader is to be a citizen of the world as fully as you can be'. Camilla's visit also marked the launch of a five-year initiative by the Edinburgh International Book Festival in partnership with Edinburgh City Libraries. Called Paper Trails, the project supported by Sir Ian will operate in five local libraries, including Ratho Library, to promote literature in local communities, including using the mobile library service to bring authors and artists into care homes.

How much Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to earn from the Oasis Live 25 UK tour
Oasis' Live 25 tour across the UK is the talk of the country this summer. Millions of fans queued desperately to get tickets to see the reunion of the Gallagher brothers for the first time since 2009. Those lucky enough to secure it will be heading to stadiums in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin to watch the shows. But just how much will Liam and Noel Gallagher make from the upcoming tour? Here's the reported figures. There were originally just 14 dates announced for the Oasis Live 25 UK tour, with more added later due to demand. According to Birmingham City University, in figures shared by The Guardian, it is estimated that the initial dates alone could bring in £400 million in ticket sales and other add-ons. They added that Liam and Noel are reportedly both in line to earn £50 million each. Aside from the money made in ticket sales and merchandise, the Gallaghers have also signed other deals which will see plenty more money come in. The Sun revealed previously that the duo landed a £20million deal with Warner for the rights to their image for a merchandising deal. They have also signed a lucrative sponsorship deal with Adidas. There have been other reports of big companies like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video wishing to make a film of the gigs. Despite the potential earnings on the table, there is always fear that the previously feuding brothers could split and call off the tour. However, it is reported that neither will be paid until the tour starts. An insider told the Daily Mail that there are "contracts that state the feuding brothers won't get any upfront earnings as if their tempestuous relationship flares up again it will leave 'everyone in limbo'". Noel and Liam Gallagher announced last year they had put their acrimonious split behind them, confirming Oasis' long-awaited reunion after 15 years. Oasis will be bringing its Live '25 tour to venues across the UK during July, August and September, including in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester and London. The tour begins on July 4 in Cardiff, with the full list of dates as follows: Principality Stadium, Cardiff - July 4 Principality Stadium, Cardiff - July 5 Heaton Park, Manchester - July 11 Heaton Park, Manchester - July 12 Heaton Park, Manchester - July 16 Heaton Park, Manchester - July 19 Heaton Park, Manchester - July 20 Wembley Stadium, London - July 25 Wembley Stadium, London - July 26 Wembley Stadium, London - July 30 Wembley Stadium, London - August 2 Wembley Stadium, London - August 3 Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh - August 8 Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh - August 9 Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh - August 12 Wembley Stadium, London - September 27 Wembley Stadium, London - September 28 Oasis will also perform two shows at Croke Park in Dublin on August 16 and 17, while also taking their tour overseas to the likes of Australia, Canada and the US. Yes, you can still get tickets to see Oasis; however, they are rare, with minimal tickets left. There remains "low availability" for several UK shows at the time of writing. Some resale tickets may pop up on Twickets or Ticketmaster, and these are the only places to buy tickets. Prices have been ranging from £421 to £3,020 per ticket, with the latter being a VIP package. Oasis fans have previously been warned of fraudulent sellers on social media. #oasislive25 🎥 @joshuahalling @danielbroadley — Oasis (@oasis) June 27, 2025 They have also been advised that tickets can only be resold legally, at face value, through Twickets or Ticketmaster.

Ed Sheeran Scores A New No. 1 After Waiting Patiently At No. 2
Ed Sheeran's "Sapphire" hits No. 1 on the U.K. Official Singles Sales chart, marking his nineteenth ... More chart-topping hit as anticipation builds for Play this September. Ed Sheeran at the TIME100 Gala held at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 24, 2025 in New York, New York. (Photo by Alyssa Greenberg/WWD via Getty Images) Ed Sheeran has a new album coming this fall, one that he has been promoting for months with several hit tunes. Play is expected in September, and the project has already produced a trio of proper singles. Almost a month after "Sapphire," the most recent of the bunch, was released, it reaches No. 1 on multiple rankings in the U.K., including one very important tally for the first time. 'Sapphire' Hits No. 1 "Sapphire" grows from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Official Singles Sales chart, officially becoming the bestselling tune in the U.K. Sheeran launched the track on the list three weeks ago, and since then, it has been stuck in the runner-up space — but no longer. Ed Sheeran Was Blocked By J-Hope and Sabrina Carpenter When "Sapphire" first arrived on the Official Singles Sales chart, it was blocked from becoming another leader for Sheeran by "Manchild," Sabrina Carpenter's latest tune. The following frame, Sheeran was able to keep his hold on the No. 2 position while "Killin' It Girl," a collaboration between BTS star J-Hope and rapper GloRilla, forced him to stay put. Several Recent Bestsellers Sheeran has now collected 19 No. 1 hits on the Official Singles Sales chart throughout his career. Two of the three tracks from Play have led the charge, as "Azizam," the first track pushed from the full-length, spent two stays at No. 1. "Old Phone," the second, only rose as high as No. 4. 'Sapphire' Leads Multiple Charts "Sapphire" also leads the Official Singles Downloads ranking, but not for the first time. Sheeran jumps from No. 2 to No. 1, which means that two of the four weeks that "Sapphire" has spent on the list of the most downloaded cuts in the nation have been at No. 1. 'Azizam' and 'Drive' Remain Chart Hits While "Old Phone" is completely missing from the U.K. charts, "Azizam" can be found on five rankings, and it still lives inside the top 10 on almost half of them. As two of his three Play tracks remain hits in the U.K., Sheeran manages to score yet another win, as 'Drive,' the tune he composed for the F1 movie and its accompanying soundtrack launches on a trio of tallies in the country. This week, it reaches the top 40 on two sales lists and opens at No. 49 on the Official Singles chart.
