RIP Val Kilmer. You’ll forever be Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky. Love this scene in Top Gun: Maverick where he incorporated his real-life illness into the role. Movie magic

Our youngest started school a week or so ago. He had his first assembly this week - learnt his first song. Tonight I heard him belting out ‘Sing Hosanna’ from his bath. Except he wasn’t. As I got closer I realised he was actually singing ‘Sing Mo Salah’. My work here is done 🤣

Congratulations to France and to Paris, not only for hosting a truly incredible #OlympicGames but for doing it in a way that combined sporting brilliance with the romance, spirit, beauty and the pure magic of Paris as a city. Magnifique!

Much will be written about Andy Murray’s legacy, rightly so - the trophies, medals, the glory - but he won so much more during a glorious career. He won hearts. I’ll remember his beautiful belligerence, his fight and his decency as a human being. Britain’s greatest sportsperson

The birth of a sporting phenomenon. Take a bow Leon Marchand. Two Olympic gold medals in the space of two hours. Most athletes would be happy with that in a career #OlympicGames #Olympics

Wonderful to be back on the Kent coast for the next few days. @PrincesGolfClub today - 27 Holes of stunning links golf and a truly idyllic setting. Hard to beat

Felt like end of a road at Anfield today. This Liverpool team looks out of steam, ideas and belief after a season of dramatic comebacks, injuries and, in truth, overachievement. Bullied by Palace 1st, LFC had loads of chances to win it 2nd half but, once again, so wasteful

Good to see the bookies have a sense of humour. Roy Hodgson at 100-1 to replace Jurgen Klopp. Abel Xavier 66-1 and Roy Keane at 50-1.

What a man, what a football manager - Jurgen Klopp will be irreplaceable. Hard to sum up his impact at Anfield, his bond with the fans, his understanding of the city. A massive setback for Liverpool Football Club but the legacy he leaves goes way beyond trophies...
Jürgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as #LFC manager at the end of the season, having informed the club’s ownership of his wish to leave his position in the summer.

The #RyderCup never fails to deliver
After Whistling Straits, it felt as though we were at the dawn of an era of total #GoUSA dominance. All credit to Luke Donald and his team for not only delivering a stellar victory in Rome but also for giving #TeamEurope fans hope for the years ahead. Fantastic #RyderCup
