No one should ever go to a football match and not come home. Always remembered #bcafcpic.twitter.com/Q8ua1cJH98 Mark Wilmshurst (@Wilmsy) May 11, 2021 My thoughts today, as always on this day, will be with all those affected by the dreadful tragedy at Valley Parade 36 years ago. The quiet dignity with which Bradford always marks this day is a testament to the resilience of our city. Si Cunningham (@sicunninghamBD) May 11, 2021 ❤️ | OUR thoughts today are with the 56 and all those affected - on the 36th anniversary of the Valley Parade Fire Disaster. On 11 May 1985, 56 people went to a football match and never returned. 36 years on - we pay tribute to those who lost their lives. They will be forever remembered.
How a village near Grantham came together to cope during the Covid-19 pandemic Published: 12:00, 06 February 2021
A village community has adapted during the pandemic to find a way to support each other through difficult and testing times.
The village of Sedgebrook has strengthened its community bonds, with the creation of a dedicated village website and newsletter, while continuing to organise Covid-friendly events to maintain a sense of normality.
Many of these developments began with Sam Wade, an events manager and Sedgebrook villager, whose work dried up at the beginning of the first lockdown.

Sam took flyers round the village with her phone number and the village email address, offering help to anyone who needed it. From there, a WhatsApp group of volunteers was formed â proving its worth almost immediately when one villager had a suspected heart attack.
