Bristol paramedic cancer fundraising appeal reaches halfway point
Remember this video of dancing paramedics near Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge?
It's to help raise money to fund experimental treatment for their colleague, Kath Osmond, who has cancer.
They want to raise £70,000 for tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte treatment.
A few moments ago the figure stood at £34,427 - just short of the halfway mark.
In June 1973, the Russian rival to Concorde, the Tupolev TU144, crashed at the Paris Air Show, killing the crew of six and eight people on the ground.
At the time the Soviet Union and the West were competing to produce the world's first supersonic passenger aircraft.
Former British test pilot, John Farley, recalls the day of the fatal crash of the plane dubbed 'Concordski'.

"The first batch sold so quickly that we asked some of our volunteers to knit even more – since then the 50p bears have been in such high demand that they are on permanent sale at the hospital," she said.
"All the proceeds directly benefit our patients and go towards the little things that make a difference to a patient’s stay in the hospital."

Sheila Smith, Director of People and Communities at North Somerset Council said it had raised concerns with the school about their performance before the inspection.

"[We had] several unpleasant incidents with people stomping past, shoving our stuff out of the way, being rude and abusive.
"One gentleman knocked my little one-year-old over. Just really vile unpleasant behaviour. I was mortified, horrified, I don't think I've ever experience such horrific behaviour."
Worle Community School: Ofsted raises pupil safety concerns
BBCCopyright: BBC
An Ofsted report into a school in North Somerset, where a pupil was attacked with a knife, has raised a number of concerns over pupil safety.
The report rated Worle Community School in Weston-super-Mare as "inadequate" in all areas, following an inspection in April. It says the school has areas which pupils feel are no-go zones at break times.
It also highlighted:
The school governors have failed to hold the school's leaders to account
Leaders and managers have failed to tackle the poor behaviour of the minority of pupils who make others feel unsafe or repeatedly disrupt learning
Safeguarding is ineffective. Legal requirements are not met and there is a poor culture of safeguarding. As a result, pupils do not feel safe in school
Back in March - a 15-year-old boy suffered minor injuries after being during an argument at the school.
Steve Lansdown: The billionaire hoping to make Bristol a sporting force
PACopyright: PA
Many sports fans dream of winning the lottery, buying their underperforming local team and bankrolling them to eternal glory.
For all but a fortunate few this far-fetched ambition is never realised, and if a multi-millionaire businessman does come on the scene they are often met with scepticism about their true motives.
Steve Lansdown's story is an amalgamation of the two - a billionaire thanks to his financial services firm, he started by becoming involved at boardroom level with his first love, Championship side Bristol City, in 1996.
But a burning desire to turn his home city from sporting outpost to capital has since resulted in him building a Bristol-based empire, with the city's rugby club - finally back in the big time after winning promotion last week - an integral part of it.
Fred Wood from Easton was one of the first soldiers in the Battle of the Somme to go "over the top" and lost his life fighting for Britain.
His body was never found.
Now photos, letters and diary entries from Fred's brother Edwin that have never been on display before paint the picture of Fred's tense wait in the trenches is on display at Bristol Cathedral.

No more beach huts are likely to be built on the promenade in Weston-super-Mare - according to the council.
Last year 24 huts were built on the seafront by North Somerset Council despite opposition from people who said they blocked views and restricted public right of way.
The council wanted to erect a further 70 but says it's now going back to the drawing board and it's unlikely any more will be built.
Dull and damp start to summer
BBCCopyright: BBC
You wouldn't believe it if you just peeped out the curtains but it's the first day of summer today - at least according to our colleagues in BBC Weather.
They say it'll be a cloudier day than yesterday, with patchy rain and drizzle at times, some of which could be heavy.
However they promise there maybe some bright spells around but for most it will stay cloudy through the day.
