'Extra manpower across the park' - your transfer window priorities
We asked for your views on what Livingston need to do in the transfer what some of you said:Ethan: For Livi to be competitive this season we need to get a holding midfielder that can play with the ball at his feet but isn't going to be a bombscare. I'd like to see Robbie Fraser or Macaulay Tait come back to Livi but that will never happen because I think they excelled too much when they played with us. In terms of sales, get Tete Yengi out the door as well as Daniel Finlayson, both not good enough for the top This squad is miles better than the one that was relegated. I think two full-backs would be wise. A left-back to replace Fraser, and a right-back assuming Jamie Brandon returns to the midfield with Tait departing. Some back-up at centre-back seems essential, but I'm hoping we don't revert to the low block straight Livi are going to need some extra manpower across the park to mitigate the impact of our loanees returning to their clubs of origin and an ageing squad. A striker with a ruthless edge is required, wing-backs on both sides and the departure of Michael Nottingham means we need more options in central defence. An attacking midfielder would also be nice, but we mustn't wish for too much!Del: Livi has the basis of a very good team, a bit of strengthening up, especially creative players for David Martindale to go out and win games.

Royal Ascot 2025, explained: Dates, race times, course guide and how to watch
Royal Ascot is British flat racing's most prestigious event and one of the highlights of the summer social season, with 35 races run over five days at the Berkshire racecourse. Aside from the sport, which features eight Group One races such as the Gold Cup, St James's Palace Stakes and Commonwealth Cup, it is a festival of fashion, hospitality and royal patronage. Last year, the King attended all five days bar Wednesday while the Queen was there for the entire showpiece. Royal Ascot is one of racing's most lucrative meetings with more than £10 million in prize money up for grabs. The two biggest prize pots of the week come in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. When is Royal Ascot? The first day of Royal Ascot is Tuesday, June 17 with the final day of racing on Saturday, June 21. The first race of each day should start at 2.30pm with the last race at 6.15pm, before racegoers shuffle back to Ascot train station or wrestle their way out of one of many car parks. How do I watch it in the UK? Every race of the meeting is being broadcast live on ITV1, with coverage also available on Sky Sports Racing for subscribers. How do I watch in the US? Assisted by racing anchor Nick Luck, NBC's streaming service Peacock offers full coverage of the meeting, as will betting-orientated channel FanDuelTV. How can I buy tickets? Tickets can be booked via the Royal Ascot website. If you want access to the more exclusive Royal Enclosure though, you will need to be a member or a member's guest. Applicants for membership need to be sponsored by two current members as well as pay a £100 joining fee. Members can apply for Royal Enclosure badges from January each year. There are still tickets on general sale though, ranging from £35 for Tuesday access to the Windsor Enclosure to £99 in the Queen Anne Enclosure. Prices rise slightly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On those final three days, there is also the middle-tier option of the Village Enclosure, where attendees can enjoy a post-racing concert until 9pm. Racegoers can also choose to purchase a 'party package' for up to six people, with £116 per person for the Queen Anne Enclosure on Tuesday including two drinks tokens and a race programme. For those who want to take the weight off their feet, there are also a range of 'ticket enhancements' available, such as booking picnic tables in the Queen Anne or access to the Terrace Club. Demand is high for the extra comfort. Course guide Horses have run at Ascot since 1711, when Queen Anne decided the heathland was ideal for 'horses to gallop at full stretch' while out riding. That August, 100 guineas were on offer for the winner of Her Majesty's Plate, open to any horse over the age of six. Remarkably, the race consisted of three heats of four miles, so it is fair to say it was not a test of speed. Today, races at the Royal meeting are run on a mixture of the round course and the straight. The round course is a 14-furlong right-handed track, with a relatively short run-in of just two-and-a-half furlongs meaning it can be difficult to win from off the pace. The shorter races, such as the six-furlong Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, are run along the straight in front of the grandstand. For races of a mile, some are straight while others are a round mile from the old starting point near Swinley Bottom. What are the racecards for the week?

Ground-breaking panel impress importance of role models
The speakers, who included former Chelsea and England 'keeper Carly Telford and Girls United coach and manager Abigail Ingram, joined forces at the Sure Breaking Limits Pitch Day to advocate for more female role models in elite sport. It was a timely discussion following research that shows half of UK girls have very few or no female role models in sport. 'Role models are so important. It's not just for girls, it's for everyone, but where girls are different is that there just aren't as many role models,' said Emily Heath, Brand Director at Rexona. 'We all remember from when we were kids that teacher or that community worker or even that famous athlete that we looked up to or that person that helped you believe that you could do something. 'The role we're trying to do is to act in a way that we can facilitate and draw attention to all the role models needed within the sport on a wider scale, but also the ones that are already there. 'Role models have so much potential to create something where you truly just believe that you can do something and that shouldn't be underestimated.' Sure has partnered with Chelsea FC to tell the stories of iconic players like Lucy Bronze and Lauren James to change those statistics for the better. They are also intent on ensuring those stories create change at grassroots level with the Breaking Limits day also seeing children take to the Stamford Bridge pitch for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 'We're trying to ensure that to bring that authentic voice back to Sure is to put a spotlight on more people than just say the ambassadors,' explained Heath. 'We put the spotlight on the likes of Lucy Bronze and bring her story to life, but we also try to put a spotlight and hear the voices of those within the community, whether that's our NGO partners, the coaches working behind the scenes, or the schoolteachers that are helping young kids start in their physical education journey.' In part, that wider reach comes back to hearing authentic stories from the likes of Telford, James and Bronze. The research also showed that UK girls were most inspired by role models' personality and real-life challenges as they sought authentic heroes to look up to. 'Girls really look at role models for multidimensional skills,' added Heath. 'They're taking away the resilience, the determination or the hard work those individuals show. 'It's really about that full journey of what's got them there and what they can take away from that.' Telford, who now works as a Commercial Manager for Chelsea Women, added: 'I was in a school last week, and we were doing the trophy tour for the FA Cup. 'I sat down next to a group of girls, and I said, 'Oh, who are your role models?' and they said Sam Kerr, Millie Bright, Lauren James and that is just so normal for them. 'To see them writing their names down, wishing them good luck, it's just so inspiring for them to be like, I see myself in her, or I want to be like her one day.' Visibility plays a vital role in inspiring young girls in sports, but it alone isn't enough. Increased visibility needs to be paired with real world grassroots investment – like Sure's Breaking Limits Programme – find out more here
