Hundreds of ships and boats sail into Amsterdam to mark city's maritime history
Ships from all over the world, many with their masts and rigging decorated with flags, sailed from the North Sea coastal town of IJmuiden on an hours-long journey up the North Sea Canal and into Amsterdam's IJ waterway for Sail 2025, the first edition in a decade. A puff of orange smoke erupted into the sky and ships' horns sounded as the replica, three-masted clipper Stad Amsterdam passed through a lock to mark the official start of the event. Each ship is greeted with two cannon shots and its country's national anthem as it enters the harbour. Hugo Peek was one of the thousands of people who sailed in smaller boats together with the tall ships. Along with his grandfather and several other family members, he travelled on a smaller boat that accompanied the tall ship Europa. 'There was almost no water. It's almost all boats, ' the 21-year-old student said. Mahek Singahl was waiting in Amsterdam's central train station, looking onto the harbour with her two small children and several large suitcases. Her family was headed back to Ivory Coast after a holiday in Iceland and had stopped in Amsterdam for a few days. They had no idea what the crowds were for. 'My husband went to look at the boats and left me here,' she said, laughing. 'He loves this stuff.' The event, which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors, is held every five years. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Wednesday's parade culminates in an evening fireworks display. The ships will remain in Amsterdam, many open for visitors, through the weekend. The first event was held in 1975 to celebrate Amsterdam's 700th anniversary and this year's edition coincides with the city's 750th birthday.

Everything ACDC fans should know before Murrayfield gig and how to get tickets
The Highway to Hell rockers will take the Edinburgh stage tomorrow night- and tickets are still on sale. There's only one night to go until iconic Australian rockers ACDC take to the Edinburgh stage, with a huge stadium gig at Murrayfield on August 21. The global PWR/UP Tour has been travelling Europe all summer, with dates all over the continent. Tomorrow's Edinburgh gig will close the European leg of the legends' tour, named after their 2020 album Power Up. And lucky for rock fanatics, tickets are still available. Those already in possession of tickets to the long-awaited gig should start planning their Edinburgh trip now, or risk getting stuck in the crowd of some 70,000. Knowing how to get to Murrayfield, as well the ideal strategy for getting home safely and efficiently, and knowing what to bring with you are essential bits of info for a gig so large. For those headed to Murrayfield tomorrow night, we've rounded up all the most crucial information in one place. And those who still haven't purchased tickets can scroll down the page for info on how to get them before they sell out. Here's everything to know about the upcoming ACDC gig. Everything to know ahead of ACDC's Murrayfield gig How to get to and back from Murrayfield Train Murrayfield Stadium is a 23-minute walk from Haymarket train station, according to Google Maps, so those travelling into Edinburgh from elsewhere for the gig would do well to get off the train here. Be mindful that Waverly Station is a fair bit further to Murrayfield, although plenty buses or trams are available to get to the stadium from there. Scroll down for all the best inner city bus options. ScotRail is also adding additional services and capacity specifically for fans tomorrow night, including late-night trains to key destinations such as Glasgow Queen Street, Dundee, Perth, and Dunblane. It's vital to check the last trains from Waverly or Haymarket to your home destination, or you may risk missing it and getting swept away by the crowd. Bus Direct coach services from Citylink will run from Dundee, Perth Broxden, Halbeath Park and Ride and Kinross Park and Ride to take you straight to Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in time for the show. However, Citylink notes that because these are special services, NEC cards won't be valid. Flixbus and Megabus also offer varied options for those travelling from further afield to Edinburgh city centre. If you've made your way to town in Edinburgh, several Lothian buses will take you straight to the doorstep of Murrayfield (where there are also many pubs to have a pint before heading in). The standard adult single fare for Lothian buses is £2.20. Some Lothian bus options include: 26 Clerwood 31 Eastcraigs 12 Gyle Centre You can get off at Roseburn Gardens or Murrayfield Road to be deposited just outside the venue. Other buses that pass by Murrayfield include the Citylink 900 to Glasgow, although this option may also be pricier than Lothian buses. What not to bring to the gig The full list of prohibited items for Murrayfield Stadium is as follows: Bags larger than A4 (30cm x 21cm) Knives or weapons Food or drink Flasks and hard water bottles Fireworks, flares and smoke bombs Banners or flags which contain offensive or abusive slogans Any flag bigger than 12inches x 16inches (30cm x 41cm), with a pole longer that 1m in length or thicker than 1inch (2.5cm) Musical instruments Umbrellas of any size Laser pointers and torches Animals Large cameras Audio recording equipment Tripods and selfie sticks How to get ACDC tickets before they sell out Seated tickets for ACDC Murrayfield are still available on a few sites such as Ticketmaster, where they're currently going for £103.70 each. Fans can also grab a ticket for the Edinburgh leg of the PWR/UP Tour on Viagogo, where plenty of sitting or standing tickets are being sold for various prices.
