Sam Heughan ran the London Marathon
The story on the page reads: "In honour of 10 years of My Peak Challenge, Sam is running the London Marathon 2025 - and he's dedicating every mile to Blood Cancer UK, our official charity partner for this milestone year.
"This run is about more than just crossing a finish line. It's about pushing limits, celebrating resilience, and standing up for those impacted by blood cancer. Every mile Sam runs is a reminder that together we can turn challenges into change.
"You can sponsor a mile to fuel Sam's run and help us raise life-changing funds for research, support, and hope."
The page then lists the impact of each donation amount on the day, before concluding: "Whether it's mile 3 or mile 23, your donation carries him forward - and brings us all closer to beating blood cancer sooner.
"We'll shout out Peakers on socials as Sam progresses on the day, and you may even get a thank you from Sam himself!
"1 in 3 people don't survive their blood cancer and we lose them in the first five years after diagnosis.
"Too many people are dying from the most complex and aggressive forms of blood cancer - blood cancers that are the hardest to treat.
"We believe it's possible to achieve significant shifts in survival, by making sure that all patients have access to the right drug at the right time.
"Our focus on the hardest to treat blood cancers will accelerate progress towards our goal of radical improvements in outcomes for these patients and bring forward the day when we beat blood cancer. Join us in celebrating a decade of purpose, progress, and Peaker power."

Live like royalty: 7 castle stays where history becomes your home
Glenapp Castle, Scotland Glenapp Castle, a 19th-century Scottish Baronial masterpiece on Scotland's southwest coast, invites guests for a multi-day Hebridean Sea Safari: explore remote islands by private boat, then glamp luxuriously on secluded isles with private chef and butler service. The castle itself blends five-star grandeur with rugged adventure and features one of Scotland's largest hotel suites—the 4,500 sq ft Castle Penthouse—complete with its own chef and dedicated butler. Ashford Castle, Ireland Live like a member of the Guinness dynasty in a luxury hotel that was a major film set for the John Wayne classic, The Quiet Man . This 800-year-old castle offers a huge range of estate activities, but is most famous for being home to Ireland's first School of Falconry. Guests can also enjoy private screenings of The Quiet Man in the castle's 32-seat cinema. The castle has hosted royalty like King George V and is consistently named one of the best hotels in the world. Umaid Bhawan Palace, India Check into one of the world's largest private residences, a stunning Art Deco palace that is still home to the royal family of Jodhpur. At the Umaid Bhawan Palace, guests can swim in the magnificent subterranean Art Deco Zodiac Pool, a truly unique and glamorous experience. The palace also features a museum, lush gardens and a vintage car collection belonging to the maharaja. This is a chance to experience living royalty, as guests may encounter the maharaja himself in the corridors. Don't miss: Regal stays: 8 historic hotels with aristocratic and royal connections Inverlochy Castle Hotel, Scotland Stay in a 19th-century baronial mansion at the foot of Ben Nevis that has hosted royalty, including Queen Victoria, along with luminaries such as Sean Connery, Liam Neeson and Mel Gibson.

All The Best Celebrity Fashion At Wimbledon 2025
Skip to main content We are now well into week two of Wimbledon 2025, a tournament that has already brought us plenty of drama (controversy over the line judges being replaced by tech after 148 years; Grigor Dimitrov being forced off by injury while two sets up against world number one Jannik Sinner; Ben Shelton charming the crowds after defeating Italy's Sonego to reach the quarter finals), and a Hollywood hard launch, care of new couple Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield. Andrew and Monica weren't the only loved-up celebrities spied in the stands in recent days: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were in the Royal Box to see Carlos Alcaraz defeat Oliver Tarvet in straight sets, and Ellie Bamber attended with her boyfriend, Danish model Oliver Overgaard. There has been plenty to enjoy on the summer style front, too, including Emily in Paris star Lily Collins in those classic Alaïa mesh flats (and a new flipped bob), Olivia Dean in summer's by now ubiquitous shade of butter yellow, and Glen Powell representing the stealth wealth set in Brunello Cucinelli. Wimbledon regular Sienna Miller also made an appearance on Tuesday, fresh from seeing Oasis on the first night of their reunion tour in Cardiff. The actor swapped her jorts and Access All Areas pass for a babydoll mini at SW19. See all the celebrity outfits so far, below. Sonam Kapoor wearing Ralph Lauren. Lila Moss wearing Ralph Lauren.

Summer Sparkle: The Jewellery Collections On Our Radar
There's no denying it. Jewellery just looks better against sun-kissed skin, tousled beach hair, and the soft waft of warm air caressing haute metals. A touch of gold, a sprinkle of diamond, a flash of ruby to set it all off. With summer comes a season of moments—weddings, alfresco dinners, or simply sitting outside, musing on the wonder of it all. Naturally, we want you to look the part, so we've gathered the most exciting jewellery launches and collections to dazzle your nights and add some sheen to your days. Summer doesn't last forever. Let's make sure we light it up. Aligned and adorned, all chakra's in place With wedding season officially among us, the stars align so to speak, as Noor Fares also enters her wedding era. Naturally, she's brought the chakras along for the ride. Anahata , named after the heart chakra, is an 11-piece collection of engagement rings and eternity bands that exude serenity. 'I launched the Anahata rings to coincide with my own 10th wedding anniversary,' Fares shares, adding a personal touch to the cosmic collection. True to her signature style, the designs feature eye emblems, moon eclipses and rainbow sapphires, weaving sacred geometry into wedding bands that are both symbolic and breathtaking. Each stone is sustainably sourced and spiritually charged, with diamonds at the forefront, representing love, clarity and strength. 'The special touches of my wedding day inspired me to create this collection. I wanted to transform those intimate details into timeless pieces that can be worn every day.' Now, who wouldn't want a little of that magic woven into their own nuptials? Ajna Rainbow Band AED 13,823 Nirvana Rainbow Band AED 18,850 Spiral i nto control Diamonds have long shed their formality. But leave it to Delfina Delettrez to twist them into a lateral conversation with nature. Curlicues, coils, snails, and seashells — the Loop collection takes a turn for the spectacular. 'I like to imagine the woman wearing these pieces feeling deeply feminine, wrapped in soft, fluid forms that embrace her with grace,' explains Delettrez from her studio in Rome. Known for her surrealist approach to jewellery and a boutique that doubles as a cabinet of curiosities, Delfina Delettrez revisits classic pieces—diamond-studded tennis bracelets and drop earrings—deconstructs them and reintroduces them as spiraling, supple creations. In the Loop collection, a heroic necklace hugs the collarbone in an astral constellation of diamonds, while cocktail rings curl inward in a glittering vortex. Earrings are looped around themselves, now unfurling with gold as part of a new formation. 'It's a delicate balance between softness and statement, between subtle beauty and magnetic presence…In every motion, the wearer becomes the source of a luminous, ever-shifting aura' she adds. Part organic, part otherworldly, Delfina's Loop curios are, quite literally, out of this world. Imagine them thrown on casually with jeans and a white tee, or as the centrepiece of an evening gown. Either way, divine. Loop Necklace AED 261,796 Luck in numbers Chanel loyalists are in for a quiet thrill. Number 5 — Chanel's forever muse. Her lucky number, the name of the perfume, the timing of the shows, and the secret locked in the 2.55 clasp. Now, that iconic numeral lends its graphic weight to a new fine jewellery collection. Not a throwback. Not a tribute. Just Chanel doing what it does best: making the familiar feel entirely new.
