#GREENDAY

Fans of the American poppunk band Green Day were left disappointed yesterday after an open-air concert in Glasgow was cancelled at the last minute, with promoters blaming “adverse weather”. @huffle_punk asked: “Green Day managed to play on a plank of wood in The Simpsons Movie but can’t handle a wet field in Glasgow?” @fassywassy said: “Don’t go blaming Green Day for cancelling - it’s not their fault organisers were underprepared, don’t blame the band” @shakeys_sister offered: “Can people not be mad at Green Day please? It was not their decision to cancel, they’ve played in pure mud before. They don’t care about weather” @Jordanm_117 added: “First time going to see Green Day and it’s cancelled due to the someone’s incompetence. Devastated”

#HOLYROODWEEK

The Queen began her annual week-long residence at the Palace of Holyroodhouse by hosting a garden party yesterday. @Kenmacintoshmsp said: “Privileged to enjoy an audience with HM Queen and now looking forward to joining other lucky guests #Holyroodweek Garden Party” @Daisynmurphy exclaimed: “That’s one way to spend a Tuesday afternoon – waiting in Holyrood Palace for the Queen to arrive!” @arcticlass offered: “I went to the Queen’s Garden Party at Holyrood Palace once. I had to borrow hat and gloves. It didn’t rain – but the cucumber sandwiches were still soggy” @sflivingston pondered: “I’m off to the Queen’s Garden Party at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. But are waterproof ponchos included in the official dress code?”

#BILLYMONGER

Billy Monger, a teenage racing driver who had to have both legs amputated after a high speed crash, has got back behind the wheel thanks to a specially adapted vehicle. @Stopwatchsuites said: “Less than 3 months after a life-changing race accident. Braveheart!” @vickirance added: “Way to go Billy! There’s no holding you back, you’re an inspiration to anyone who is having a tough time of it” @peterjos64 commented: “Amazing achivement. All the best to the young feller. A real inspiration”
