The rock icon shared a moving picture of a map that was created by his late father, Harold May, to memorialise the band's first tour across Europe. Alongside the illustration, the 77-year-old penned: 'My Dad's supportive handiwork for our first Queen tour of Europe... 1974!!! As honoured in Stockholm last night. Love to all - Bri.' Queen's European tour consisted of ten shows in six countries which they performed over a two and a half week period. Sir Brian shared the snap to Instagram, where he has 3.5M followers and thousands of his loyal fans flocked to the comments to offer kind messages to the singer. One replied: "Oh what a heartfelt map full of love for you, Sir!" A second commented 'Wow!! What a treasure!! Can't you just picture him sitting there, drawing, coloring, marking the routes, all the time thinking proudly, 'That's MY boy!'' A third fan exclaimed: 'I saw and crying, I didn't expect than I'm a small girl at 1994 in Russian my Papa brought me a CD The Works and told 'See, this is a good Music' then a couldn't explain my life without Queen music.' A fourth added: "What beautiful attention to detail your father gave to these maps and what a lovely tribute you gave to him last night. Inspiring word". Brian's touching post comes after he and Queen drummer Roger Taylor were awarded the 2025 Polar Music Prize at a gala ceremony in Sweden this week on Tuesday May 27. The legendary musicians were honoured for their remarkable careers and contribution to music. Stepping up to accept the award, Brian told the crowds: 'In this special moment, I contemplate how that younger Brian May in 1974 would have felt if he knew that we would be living this kind of dream 50 years in the future.' While Roger recalled: 'When we started our band… we had ambitions, but never dreamed of the journey that was to follow. "We were fortunate in the fact that our four wildly different personalities came together to achieve a wonderful chemistry. 'The Polar Music Prize is exceptional in the fact that, unlike other awards, it recognises the entirety of an artist's career. "What an honour to be included in the glittering cavalcade of previous laureates.' The evening featured live musical performances celebrating Queen's legacy and the other award winners and nominees as rock band Ghost performed a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody alongside Opeth guitarist Fredrik Akesson. Queen frontman Adam Lambert, who was appointed as the de facto lead singer of the band in 2011, then took to the stage. He sang Queen hits Who Wants to Live Forever and Another One Bites the Dust, which were originally performed by the late Freddie Mercury.

Pottery studio teaching people how to throw it down
TEA, S.D. (KELO) —Many people can draw, paint, and do other art forms in your own home. But there is one medium that would be rather expensive to try at home, which is why a new business is giving rookie artists the opportunity to learn how to throw it down. For many people, pottery isn't their forte. 'Not really into art. I'm more into sewing and quilting. And so this is something totally new,' Carla Scott said. Opening weekend at Wild Water West But the same can't be said for Skyler Stencil.'I started in high school with my high school art professor, Gary Siska. He just really led me to a love for it,' Owner Smudge Studios, Skyler Stencil love only grew through college and graduation.'Thought I was going to study up and go to med school. But instead, I bought a pottery wheel, and I spent all my time doing that. And then I started working for Tom and Wanda Clark over at Dakota Potters. And I started by making clay for them, which only gave me easier access to my medium,' Stencil drove Stencil to make a big decision.'I decided that if I was going to do it forever, then I should probably make a living doing it,' Stencil opened Smudge Studios in March. One of the main reasons she wanted to open a pottery studio was to create a community aspect that she started to miss.'In high school, we always had tons of people in the studio, so that was awesome. Even more so true at Creighton. There was always at least 4 to 5 other people. And during class, like, you would have 12 other people. And I just really missed having the community around me while I made art,' Stencil. She has already been building that community. Carla Scott has been attending classes for the past few weeks. 'I've picked up pieces throughout the years from other people making art and stuff. Back in April, we did a whole family clay time and it was fun. So then decided to sign up for the class,' Scott Scott, learning how to throw pottery has been a learning curve.'You know how you watched Ghost. And you thought it was so easy, that was how it was going to be. And it's not like that. And when you're smashing it down, a lot of times it just– it's a good thing it can be reused,' Scott said. Teaching beginners like Scott has also been a new experience for Stencil. 'In a clay date where I have two hours to get someone to learn how to center a piece. So all the way to finishing shaping. Right. Like, that's those are skills I learned over years, and, like, I got to be good at it. It's been very difficult to teach people how to do that within two hours,' Stencil her students can't tell that it's been a struggle. 'Sky is a wonderful teacher,' Scott people a new skill, in a medium that isn't as popular. 'When my first piece got done, I was just amazed how good it looks. And this time I've done a few bowls and then a plate. And so yeah, I was excited to finish that and a tray and stuff. It's just amazing to see when it's done,' Scott said.'I hope that Smudge can offer a place for art. This is the first full-scale pottery studio in the area definitely. And I just hope that people can dip their toes into an art that's not always very accessible,' Stencil said. For people who are interested in trying their hand at throwing pottery, Smudge Studios offers clay date classes. If you think you would like to then grow your pottery skills, there are also 5-week classes you can take. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Mobile police horse retires after 8 years of service
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — The noble steed, Ghost, is now getting some much-deserved relaxation after eight years of service with the Mobile Police Department. Mobile woman accused of domestic violence, police say 'The department will miss Ghost,' Public Information Officer, Roderick Miles said. Ghost was born and raised at the Angola Prison in Louisiana until he joined the Mobile Police Department in 2017. For the majority of his time in the force, he was partnerless due to his huge personality and stature. 'Ghost was a big boy!' Miles said. That was until he met David Joiner in 2022, and the two immediately clicked. 'He just had some funny little quirks, like getting out of the horse trailer instead of just stepping like a normal horse, he had this little leap that he would do every time,' Joiner said. The gentle giant, who was slightly afraid of sounds like whistles, had a ton of quirks. Together, the two worked out those issues, earning multiple awards. Like the most improved award during a Mardi Gras training camp. 'Almost like a proud dad seeing your kids' overcoming obstacles and struggles,' Joiner said. The two also received a Commander's citation for their work during the deadly 2022 New Year's Eve shooting in Downtown Mobile that killed one and injured nine. 'Just dealing with everyone screaming and all of the chaos going on just being able to jump into action,' Joiner said. After years of hard work and dedication, Joiner is happy to see his 17-year-old partner get the relaxing retirement he deserves. 'I'm excited for him just to be able to retire and go rest easy,' Joiner said. Mobile County woman celebrates 105th birthday Ghost is now at the 10-42 Police Horse Retirement Home in Trenton, Florida. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

EXCLUSIVE I'm living proof you CAN speak to dead loved ones. All you need is dark room and a mirror: DR RAYMOND MOODY
The desire to communicate with dead loved ones - to apologize, to say 'I love you' or simply to hear their voice one last time - is both powerful and universal. But such encounters generally feature only in movies like Ghost and Truly, Madly, Deeply, or in the empty promises of charlatans preying on the bereaved.
