“We know without question that the Windrush generation have made our culture richer, our services stronger, and our fellow countrymen safer” - The Duke of Cambridge, at the unveiling of the Windrush Monument at London’s Waterloo Station. “We’ve never all collective­ly been through such an extreme time together, so to be able to see people there and welcome them in and just watch them streaming in and just running to pitch their tents – it’s just an amazing feeling” - Glastonbur­y co-organiser Emily Eavis on seeing people returning to the festival for the first time in three years.

“It genuinely is the best place on Earth. Everyone’s in the best mood, everyone wants to chat, everyone wants to be your mate, and you just don’t get that anywhere else. It’s just incredible”

- Glastonbur­y Festival-goer Ben Colgan, from Stockport, shares his excitement as the gates opened.

“RMT members are leading the way for all workers who are sick and tired of having their pay and conditions slashed by a mixture of big business profits and government policy. Now is the time to stand up and fight for every single railway worker”

- RMT general secretary Mick Lynch.

“One thing that will keep inflation higher for longer and undermine pay packets for longer is if we have spiralling public sector pay increases. It is to protect the wages of those on the lowest incomes that we need to hold the line”

- Justice Secretary Dominic Raab says the government has to “hold the line” against the RMT’s demands for improved pay.
