#GEORGEBUSH

President Donald Trump will designate Wednesday as a national day of mourning for George H. W. Bush, who died on Friday.

It is believed that President Trump will attend the funeral with his wife.

@Robertmoor­e tweeted: “That will be an interestin­g dynamic. Not as awkward as the Mccain funeral he didn’t attend, but George H.W. Bush made clear he was no fan of Trump, despised his ego, and had voted for Hillary Clinton.

@Beyondthed­istraction joked: “He may want to check with the special prosecutor to make sure he will still be free on that date.”

@Marylamb added: “Funeral crashers? HW made clear his dislike of the man and he is despised by the family.

“It will be a press/security nightmare if Trump attends. If he had any thought at all for HW’S memory or the family, he would not attend, but when has doing the right thing ever guided Trump?”

#TYSONFURY

Tyson Fury has dedicated a fight to people facing mental health issues. The boxer called on people to get help after reflecting on his own past issues. @Msjennifer­james tweeted: “Tyson Fury is a hero here: showing the world that recovery from severe depression is possible, with help.

“And it’s possible to come back a better, wiser, kinder and stronger person than before.”

@Wolves_ay_we_18 wrote: “Prior to his comeback I never really liked Fury but he seems really humbled by the whole experience and that video is just the icing on the cake, well said champ, we all know who won that fight.”

@Issapob was impressed by his message, writing: “The big man is now my favourite sportspers­on.

“Yes he may be loud and a bit brash but what guts and true heart he has! A proper sports personalit­y. The new people’s champion.”

#IRNBRU

The festive season is well and truly upon us with the release of a new Irn-bru festive ad.

@k_wilson79 joked: “Just seen ad. Thankfully, the can that was originally nicked by the snowman a few years back is original full fat Irn-bru. @Tracymcbur­nie tweeted: “It’s not Christmas without the Irn Bru advert and now there’s a sequel! Excellent.”
