Kaleb Cooper bemoans 'post knocker' robbery
The 27-year-old farmer - who is best-known for his appearances on Clarkson's Farm - has revealed that his £7,000 post knocker, used for hammering in fences, has been stolen.
Kaleb said on Instagram: "My post knocker was stolen last night.
"As well as the John Deere tractor.
"Can we please make this as hot as possible!
"What is going on with England at the moment!"
Home and Country Fencing, the company whose tractor was also stolen, has addressed the robbery on social media.
The company said: "Unfortunately, we have had one of our tractors and post knockers stolen overnight.
"There has been a silver 4 x 4 burnt out just down the road which is possibly related."
Clarkson's Farm has been a big hit since it first aired in 2021 - but Jeremy previously admitted that the success came as something of a surprise to him.
The TV star explained in The Sunday Times newspaper: "I did think it'd serve up gentle disappointment to the Top Gear, Grand Tour audience.
"I very much was typecast as this man who drove around corners too quickly while shouting and using hyperbole to make a point. I thought, why would anybody who watches Top Gear or The Grand Tour want to watch this bucolic show about farming?
"Then they did and it brought a whole new audience who'd never watched a single programme I'd made."
Prior to that, Jeremy described how he found "absolute joy" in his role as "midwife" for cows at Diddly Squat.
He said: "I pulled until it felt like my eyes were bleeding. Until, phloomh, the calf was out.
"I rushed over to it, scraping the gunk - again, I'm not sure that's the correct term - from its face before putting a bit of straw up its nose to make it sneeze and start breathing. And it did.
"And I simply cannot tell you how that feels. I was exhausted, my arms felt as though they were on fire, I was covered in slimy cow juice and faeces and I was smiling a smile that I simply didn't think would be possible in any kind of workplace."

Boy, 11, thought ‘he was going to die' after being knocked down in hit and run
A young boy who suffered two broken hips in a hit-and-run crash while riding an e-scooter has said: "I thought I was going to die." Bradley Hooper, 11, was riding his cousin's e-scooter when he was hit by a black Vauxhall coming from Sullivan Road into Montague Avenue, Sholing. His mum Hollie Hooper, 30, was told by a witness he went "down like a ragdoll' in the incident on Wednesday just after 7.20pm. Speaking while still in hospital, Bradley said the people in the car 'drove off and left me'. He said: 'I thought I was going to die and thought: 'I love my family, and my mum is my angel'. 'I have scary dreams of them coming to get me and running me over again." Bradley added: 'Thank you to everyone who cares for me and loves me.' Devastated mum-of-four Hollie said Bradley is waiting to see if he needs surgery. She said he is worried about returning home to Sholing in case the drive comes back. Some of the injuries sustained by Bradley Hooper (Image: Hollie Hooper) She said: 'I want to get justice for my son and find out who did this. 'Bradley went flying off the scooter and was screaming in pain. He moved out of the road and onto the pavement where he collapsed. It happened so fast.' Hollie was out shopping at the time and first heard about the crash when her nephew and brother called her. 'I rushed there as soon as I could when they told me and the police were on the scene straight away', she said. 'The driver nearly killed Bradley and I am disgusted and mortified.'

In a plea to the public, she said: 'Please come forward. If you are a parent, how would you feel if this was your child? 'It is horrific that someone could leave a child for dead – they left before realising Bradley was alive. 'I want to thank the Sholing and Thornhill community and everyone who has helped us so far.' Hampshire Constabulary confirmed an investigation into the incident is underway. A spokesperson said: 'We were called at 7.21pm on July 30 with reports of a car colliding with a pedestrian on Montague Avenue. 'The pedestrian, an 11-year-old boy, sustained fractures to his hips. 'The car involved did not remain at the scene. 'Enquiries remain ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to report this directly to police on 101, quoting 44250342256.

When Elton John came to Broadlands for a truly unforgettable concert
The year 2000 dawned with the promise of a new millennium, and for the sleepy estate of Broadlands, it also brought the electrifying presence of a true music icon - Sir Elton John. On a mild summer's evening, the historic grounds, more accustomed to stately gatherings, were transformed into an arena as thousands flocked to witness the Rocket Man himself deliver a performance that remains in the memories of many Elton John, a seasoned veteran of countless stadium tours and intimate piano shows, brought his distinctive blend of showmanship, flamboyant costumes, and an unparalleled back catalogue to the idyllic setting. The anticipation in the air was palpable as families, couples, and friends sprawled across the lawns, picnic blankets unfurled, eagerly awaiting the show. And a show it was. From the moment Elton strode onto the stage, resplendent in one of his signature, glittering, outfits, the crowd was captivated. The setlist was, as expected, a masterclass in greatest hits. From the soaring anthems like "Your Song," "Tiny Dancer," and "Candle in the Wind" to the more upbeat, foot-tapping numbers such as "Crocodile Rock," "I'm Still Standing," and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," Elton effortlessly navigated his extensive repertoire. Each song was delivered with the passion and precision that have become his hallmarks, his powerful vocals resonating across the estate, carried on the gentle evening breeze. But beyond the hit parade, what truly made the Broadlands concert special was the atmosphere.

The sun dipped below the horizon as the evening progressed, casting a warm glow over the joyous crowd. Lighters swayed during the ballads, and impromptu dance parties erupted during the rockers. Elton, ever the showman, engaged with the audience, sharing anecdotes and connecting with them on a personal level, making the vast open-air venue feel surprisingly intimate. As the final notes of the encore faded into the night and a dazzling display of fireworks lit up the Hampshire sky, there was a collective sense of satisfaction and elation. Elton John at Broadlands in 2000 wasn't just another concert date - it was a truly unforgettable summer's evening that brought a touch of global superstardom to the New Forest.

Parents abandon 10-year-old son at Barcelona Airport so they wouldn't miss their flight: report
A couple reportedly left their 10-year-old son at a Barcelona airport after his passport had expired so they wouldn't miss their flight to their home country, according to media reports. The Sun reported that a terminal worker at the airport said the couple left Barcelona's Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport on Wednesday without their child, choosing to have a relative pick him. The air traffic control worker who went by Lilian, discussed the incident in a TikTok video, saying the child was prohibited from flying because of his expired passport. He also required a visa. Passengers Removed From Plane, Arrested For Alleged Vodka-induced Drunk And Disruptive Behavior "His passport in the country was expired, so the child was traveling with a Spanish passport but the Spanish passport needed a visa. As they did not have a visa, they left the child at the terminal and called a relative to come and pick him up," said Lilian. Airport staff found the boy by himself and alerted authorities, the worker claimed, according to The Sun report. Read On The Fox News App "He told them that his parents were on the plane on their way to their home country, going on vacation," she said. Contact was made with the plane's pilot, who reportedly confirmed that the police told him there was a minor in the car park.

The parents were located, who were accompanied by another younger child. The parents were taken to a police station to get their son. "How is it possible for parents to leave their ten-year-old son at the terminal because he cannot travel due to documentation issues?" Lilian said. "They call a relative but the relative may take half an hour, about an hour, about three hours and they take the flight so calmly and leave the child behind!"
