Choir concert raises £1,200 for Paul Sartori Hospice
The evening featured performances from both the Pembroke Dock Community Choir and the Paul Sartori Community Choir.
The two choirs came together for a special joint rendition of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" as the finale.
The Pembrokeshire Lindy Hoppers also performed a dance routine.
Nigel Arthur, a member of the Pembroke Dock Community Choir, said: "We thought that maybe we would try and do a concert to raise funds for Paul Sartori.
"Being a 50–60 strong choir, quite a few members have had help for family members in the past from this charity.
"We raised an incredible amount, and we were very pleased.
"It was a thoroughly enjoyable night for us all and worth it in raising a great amount for this wonderful charity."
Jo Lutwyche, community relationship officer for Paul Sartori, said: "We are so grateful to the Pembroke Dock Community Choir for organising this very enjoyable night.
"The Pembrokeshire Lindy Hoppers as well as the Paul Sartori Community Choir added to the evening."
The Pembroke Dock Community Choir is open to new members and meets every Wednesday at 5.15pm during term time at Pembroke Dock Community School Hall.
The Paul Sartori Community Choir was established in April 2022 to bring people together after the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and to raise awareness and funds for the charity.
Now, three years on, the choir continues to support Paul Sartori Hospice at Home and other worthy causes, performing at joint community fundraising events across the county.
Paul Sartori Hospice at Home provides a range of services to Pembrokeshire people living in the final stages of a life-limiting illness and the Paul Sartori Community Choir extends the support to the wider community.

James Haskell makes rare red carpet appearance with daughter Bodhi
James Haskell was snapped spending quality time with his three-year-old daughter Bodie just weeks after confessing what he thinks ended his marriage to her mum Chloe Madeley James Haskell has made a rare red carpet appearance with his daughter Bodhi when they attended the Grand Prix Of Europe UK Gala screening. The former rugby union star stepped out with the three-year-old, whohe shares with ex Chloe Madeley - to the event at the Ham Yard Hotel in London. James, 40, looked happy as he beamed in the images alongside Bodhi while carrying her in his arms. James and Chloe, 38, separated in 2023 after five years of marriage. Bodhi - the grandchild of Chloe's famous parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan - was just one-year-old when the pair went their separate ways. READ MORE: James Haskell says he'd still be married to Chloe Madeley if he'd stopped doing one thing James' stepping out with Bodhi comes after he confessed that his drinking habits contributed to the end of their marriage. Speaking at the Pub in the Park festival in West London he said, "If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now." He continued to the Daily Mail,"It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe. It's team work. What we all forget is when you have children and a marriage finishes, it's all about the kids. Chloe and I are amazing co-parents. Our priority is always Bodhi." James also confirmed that he is now single again after briefly dating advertising executive Helen Barclay at the start of the year. He said, "I don't really date. My priority is not that at the moment. I don't need anyone. I'm very happy and comfortable. My focus is, obviously, saying goodbye to my dad, work, and being the best dad in the best order." James now works as a DJ playing global venues and has previously opened up about how he achieved his visibly slimmed down figure following his change of career. During his stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! he discussed how his new regime was having an impact on his appearance. He was thought to have lost around 10kg appearing on the show due to the gruelling challenges and restricted eating that contestants have to deal with. He shared pictures of his chiseled abs and biceps to Instagram to show off the difference. James also attributed a 9kg drop in his weight to lifestyle changes during one of the final Covid-19 lockdowns in the UK. Taking to Instagram to share a comparison pictures of his changing body he wrote, "I got bored in lockdown 2 and saw how big I could get. 130kgs. Lockdown 3 I have gone the other way. I'm 8 weeks in and have gone from 122kgs to 113kgs. I've been training remotely with @altius_pt. Which has been mega, well thought out and programmed exactly. The idea is to get leaner now and then build back up slowly over the coming week. "It's been really fun to have a goal and stick to it. It gives you purpose, routine and discipline. All things we strive on as humans."

BBC iPlayer now streaming ‘mind-blowing' Christopher Nolan film
The Christopher Nolan film Tenet is streaming now on BBC iPlayer. The 2020 action film aired on BBC One last week, meaning that it is also available on the streaming service for a limited time. Starring John David Washington as a man known only as 'The Protagonist,' the film follows a CIA Agent when he joins a secret organisation – Tenet – who hope to prevent World War III by mastering 'time inversion.' Tenet was released during the Covid-19 pandemic, and achieved fifth highest earning film of the year, in spite of safety limitations at the time. The most cerebral of Interstellar and Oppenheimer director Nolan's films, it has garnered a reputation for its uncompromising storytelling and near impenetrable lore. With the film now available for free on iPlayer, viewers can see for themselves. Tenet currently has a 70% 'fresh' rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with viewers praising its complex narrative and bold ideas. Nola Ojumu described it as a 'mind-bending wonder' and 'fast-paced action thriller,' while praising the performances of Washington and co-stars Robert Pattinson, Sir Kenneth Branagh, and Elizabeth Debicki. Meanwhile, USA Today called it 'utterly dazzling and increasingly bewildering,' as The Independent described it as 'a thrilling place to get lost in.' 'The real joy of the film, nonetheless, is the sheer spectacle,' wrote The Times. Tenet's blend of sci-fi smarts and spy action resonated with viewers too, who have contributed to its 76% Popcornmeter score on the website. 'This movie is a mind bending collision of time inversion and nuclear war, Christopher Nolan completely unravels the fabric of linear storytelling and reweaves it into a well written cinematic masterpiece,' wrote user Landon B. Seth A said: 'Amazing visuals, amazing story. Truly captivating and a movie easily watchable over and over to see more and more revealing clues.' Of its plot, Zach W described it as: 'one of the most ambitious storylines ever attempted in a film,' while Imran Haque called it 'a mind-blowing movie.' However, with its often confusing storytelling and refusal to keep things linear, Tenet is the most divisive of Nolan's films to date. In addition to the confusing story, some detractors have bashed the film for its 'migrane-inducing' sound-mixing, making its dialogue inaudible behind layers of metallic screeching, seat-shaking explosions and relentless gunfire. It's a complaint often levelled at Nolan's films – especially his recent works, such as Dunkirk and Interstellar – and out in full force here. But, to many, the Christopher Nolan of it all is a feature, not a bug. 'It's the most Nolan movie ever and I'm not sure it makes since but I was enthralled nonetheless,' wrote Mad About Movies Podcast. If some viewers struggled to understand what is going on, then worry not – its leading man wasn't entirely sure either. More Trending 'I mean, literally on the first read, I thought I understood it, strangely,' he told GQ Hype. 'In my delirium, I thought I totally had, and I realised as the day went on, 'Ah, I don't have it at all.'' He added: 'But to answer your question directly, I'm still kind of grasping it…' Tenet is streaming now on BBC iPlayer. Got a story?

Zarda tells Victoria that she is sure Maria was after this. At lunch, Marina joins the five, but Gladys leaves the table. Soledad, Yael and Olga wonder what's happened, and Marina explains that Gladys is mad at her. Olga starts to doubt Marina, too, when Maria is asked to meet Cecilia. Maria neither accepts nor denies responsibility for the inmate's death and asks Cecilia about Patricia and her baby to throw her off her back. Meanwhile, Yael tells Gladys that her daughter is being sent out of the prison for a short outing with the governor's wife. Gladys wonders why Cecilia is always nice to the pregnant women and wonders what is going on. Amparo gets furious when she learns that Maria has a monopoly on the meat that arrives inside the prison.

Amparo notices the family unit and sees little children there. Elba tells Amparo how all the kids leave after they turn five years old, while the mothers stay back to complete their respective sentences. Elsewhere, Marina is thriving in prison as an adult content creator. She has all the privileges she needs while working out, taking videos and photos, eating the meals that she wants and consuming the drugs that she likes. All of this is at the behest of Zurda, who profits out of her work. China watches Marina from the side-lines when one day Zurda tells Marina that one of the men wants to have sex with her. Marina refuses, but Zurda puts her in place, declaring that she needs to entertain the client. Gladys shows up at Zurda's unit to collect the money according to her deal with Maria.

Yael finds out about the diagnosis and tries to console Gladys. The two end up sharing a kiss while the twins kill Maria and hang her up on a meat hook. The Episode Review So, Zurda and Maria were friends before all this? No wonder Cecilia tried to cause differences between them; both of them were too much for her to handle as a team. It seems that Marina had a poor excuse for parents and had to work hard throughout her life. Even from prison, Marina is earning an income by selling her body on the internet, which makes me feel sorry for her. It's hard to see Gladys find out about her possible cancer diagnosis, but I am glad she has Yael in her journey. Given the fact that she has had a hard time coping with the loss of her husband, I hope Gladys continues to keep the bond that she has with the other four inmates. It was sad to see Maria die, but Amparo is a bigger threat to everyone inside now. I really wish she hadn't been caught because things would have been so different inside the prison. Gladys would be the best replacement for Maria now that she is dead but I am not sure how open she would be to stepping into her shoes, given the diagnosis.
