We had a

Wedding and it was exactly the kind of personal celebration we wanted it to be.
Itโs ridiculous that people in England canโt choose to have a legally recognised Humanist marriage - good luck!
Breaking news!
Six couples are taking the Government to court for its refusal to give legal recognition to humanist marriages in England and Wales - and we're supporting them.
Their case will be heard in the High Court on Tuesday.

Six years to the day since I moved to Manchester. Still absolutely love the place and weโve even got our own wee Mancunian in the house these days ๐

@ManCity
What a despicable thing to say. Have a pop at the club, ownership, UAE, Mansour, even the fans if you like - but snide comments referencing a man when his home, and presumably family and friends, are under attack is just pathetic.
This is an incredible piece of journalism by

Such awful news. Our team worked with Teresa most weeks, she was a gifted journalist and lovely to work with. My thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues at Granada.
All of us here are devastated by Teresa's unexpected death, and we will miss her hugely. Our thoughts are with her family at this extremely difficult time.
