The survey of more than 2,000 private renters also found that 7% had never paid a deposit, rising to 15% of over-55s. A BEE’S “alarm clock” has been documented for the first time by researcher­s.

Scientists at Nottingham Trent University have recorded the honeycomb vibration of the honeybee which prompts others in the hive to get busy.

It had previously only been visible to the naked eye by opening the hive. THE Duke of Sussex’s tour of Australia reached new heights – as he and three Invictus Games competitor­s climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Harry swapped the New South Wales standard for the Invictus flag at the top of the landmark, which towers 440ft (134m) above the water. CELEBRITIE­S will be among the thousands of anti-Brexit campaigner­s expected to descend on central London calling for a fresh referendum.

Young voters will lead the march that organisers say will be more than 100,000-strong and will culminate in a rally where exit plans are branded a “dog’s dinner”.

Celebrity cook Delia Smith, Dragons’ Den businesswo­man Deborah Meaden and London Mayor Sadiq Khan are among the speakers at the event, which is being compered by broadcaste­rs Richard Bacon and Mariella Frostrup.

Labour’s Lord Adonis, a campaigner for People’s Vote, which is pushing for a referendum on the outcome of the Brexit negotiatio­ns, said: “Brexit’s becoming a dog’s dinner.

“This week’s fresh chaos and confusion over Brexit negotiatio­ns has exposed how even the best deal now available will be a bad one for Britain.

The duke, whose “favourite time of the year is the Games”, took 13 minutes to ascend the 464 steps to the top of the bridge along the east side, before crossing the central walkway to raise the flag, which flapped in the breeze.

Replacing the New South Wales flag is a rare event on

“It’s a mess that nobody voted for and the reason we’re in such a growing crisis is that those cheerleadi­ng for Brexit know the promises they made can never be kept.

“So this campaign is about using the people power, writing to their MP to get a People’s Vote to address the wrongs of this botched Brexit process.

“This is about making sure MPs understand how strong feelings are running on this vital issue. If they are wavering, they need to know there is a the Harbour Bridge – the Aboriginal flag is flown on Australia Day and some other sporting achievemen­ts or terror attacks are commemorat­ed in this way.

Harry was not alone on the climb – although the pregnant Duchess of Sussex did not take part – with three representa­tives from Team political price to be paid for doing the wrong thing.

“Voters will neither forgive nor forget if MPs allow this miserable Brexit to proceed without people being given the final say.”

Some 150 coachloads of people from across the country are expected to head to the march, with around 30 vehicles sponsored by famous names including football manager Alan Pardew, actor Natascha McElhone, writer Armando Iannucci, former footballer Jamie Australia and Invictus ambassador Gwen Cherne accompanyi­ng him to the summit.

Ms Cherne, whose husband served in Cambodia, Afghanista­n and Iraq and took his own life in February this year, shared a hug with the duke after completing the climb. Carragher and singer Olly Alexander. The march will begin at midday in Park Lane before the rally in Parliament Square.

Video messages will be played from comedians Mitch Benn and Patrick Kielty as well as former footballer Gary Lineker.

Carmen Smith, For our Future’s Sake Supporter from Wales, who will be speaking at the event, said: “The biggest problems are still to be negotiated, many of the consequenc­es are still being concealed and, if we carry on like this, the arguments will never end.

“That’s why the People’s Vote March for the Future will be led by thousands of young people students, apprentice­s and everyone starting out in life - whose voices have too often been ignored.

“Democracy means you don’t have to accept this. Time is short.

“The issue is urgent.”
