England captain Harry Kane is top dog in terms of goals scored at this year's World Cup after his hat-trick against Panama.

Let's hope the roar of the crowds doesn't give him earache, like his canine namesake, from Nottingham.

The Staffie was treated at the charity's pet hospital in Nottingham for an ear problem.

Police Community Support Officer Rio Lyons said: “We had reports from the community that some local school leavers were planning on getting together and drinking alcohol to celebrate.

“We understand that young people may want to honour the end of their school life with their friends, but drinking under age is not only illegal but also has the potential to fuel anti-social behaviour and could put their safety at risk.”

This year marks 100 years since World War One's deadliest explosion on British soil.

On 1 July 1918, eight tonnes of explosives ignited at the Chilwell Munitions Factory, killing 134 people and injuring many more.

Now footage of workers in the factory, from a year or two before the explosion, has been painstakingly restored by the Imperial War Museum.

Incredibly, it lay hidden in a garden shed in Beeston until it was discovered by a BBC documentary team, fronted by Kate Adie, four years ago.

The film will be shown tonight at St Mary’s Church, Attenborough, where most of the victims were buried in a mass grave.

The cost of lunch at Derbyshire's schools could be about to go up.

The county council is proposing to increase the recommended selling price of meals by 10p to £2.10 at its nursery, primary and special schools and by 5p to £2.40 at its secondary schools.

The authority said the switch - which would take effect from September - would be considered by the council's cabinet member for young people Alex Dale at a meeting on Friday.

Pupils who receive free school meals would be unaffected and schools would retain the right to set their own prices if they prefer.

If approved, it would be the first school meal price increase since 2015.

England's Jesse Lingard and Harry Maguire showed just what they can do on the pitch in Sunday's 6-1 victory over Panama.

Alan Hardy says the Match of the Day presenter, from Leicester, has a responsibility to his 7m followers, even to those too young to have their own Twitter account.

"I know it's supposed to be a minimum 13 years but my kids, who are eight, nine and 10, often say, 'What're Alan Shearer's views?', 'Was it really a penalty?', 'What does Lineker think of that penalty?'" he said.

"I'm not keen on them reading it when there's lots of F-bombs flying around."

Lineker tweeted a swear word following Germany's 2-1 win over Sweden on Saturday.

He's since tweeted, external: "To the tiny minority: I like swearing as it adds emphasis occasionally", adding "you can always unfollow" if it offends.

This is how a new war memorial at Nottingham's Victoria Embankment could look.

The monument will display the names of the 14,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians from Nottinghamshire who died during WW1.

The memorial has been commissioned by the city and county councils who say while there are currently hundreds of individual memorials around the county, this is the first to bring all the names together in one place.

About £50,000 still needs to be raised for the project and the councils have encouraged local businesses and residents to contribute, external.

Colonel Tim Richmond, Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, said: “I believe this memorial which honours the fallen from our city and county in the Great War will be a fitting tribute to their sacrifice, bringing together the names from some 700 memorials, and some names which have never been recorded on a memorial, together with the county’s Roll of Honour which is online.

"The details of all those who died will truly live for evermore.”
