THEY SAID WHAT?

“We can now say that human beings have flown a rotorcraft on another planet”

- MiMi Aung, Ingenuity Mars Helicopter project manager at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory after the helicopter completed the first powered, controlled flight on another planet.

“That man is not allowed in my pub”

- Rod Humphris, landlord of The Raven in Bath, asking Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to leave the premises.

“It was a very emotional moment but at the same time a proud moment and probably the greatest honour of my military career”

- Pipe Major Colour Sergeant Peter Grant, who played the Lament at the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

“It feels like a responsibility but in a lovely way, because if people are comfortable enough to say something complimentary about my work or me as a person, I really do appreciate that because I care very much. Not only about my job, but I also really care about being a steady, decent human being, and I think you can often tell whether a person is a good person or not, or whether they’re out for number one, and certainly with my job that I do, I really try and really consider just all forms of humanity”

- Actress Kate Winslet, above.

“I just want to stress one thing to people who are sort of vaguely tuning in to this. People should not, in my view, form the impression that the upper echelons of the British Civil Service have got loads of people who are double-hatting, as it were, doing two jobs - it just isn’t true”

- Prime Minister Boris Johnson on

the Westminster lobbying row.
