    Honours received by Sir Christopher Lee, including his BFI Fellowship Award, wartime medals and Knight Bachelor's Badge are due to go under the hammer.

    The widow of the Hammer horror and Lord Of The Rings actor plans to auction around 50 medals and awards presented to him over his lifetime, before his death in 2015 at the age of 93.

    The lots include the medals awarded to him for his active service in the Second World War as a liaison officer in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, including a certificate recording the fact he was mentioned in despatches for gallant and distinguished services in 1944.

    They are expected to sell for upwards of £800.

    The auction will take place at Spink in London on 1 November.

  9. After Grenfellpublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 11 September 2017

    In the final episode of the series, Lynsey returns to Grenfell Tower two months on and suggests how we could build a new future for council housing in this country.

    Throughout the series, Lynsey has tracked the decline of council housing while also trying to put paid to the myths of our postwar housing story. Now she looks at how New Labour and the governments after them tried to transform estates through one controversial method - regeneration.

    Lynsey goes back to her home estate of Chelmsley Wood and finds places that have changed out of all recognition. She asks a local councillor what this means for long term residents of the estates. She then visits Liverpool where she meets a group of tenants who were told their estate was going to be knocked down in the 1980s. They took control of the process, worrying they would be moved away from the city and into the suburbs. This is a model example of resident driven regeneration, but usually it doesn't happen like that.

    Lynsey explores how, in many cases, residents are ignored by local authorities and housing associations. Often regeneration can mean moving tenants off estates and replacing them with wealthier "customers" in affordable housing and market sale homes. Lynsey asks what this means for housing in Britain. How is it that council tenants are not listened to by those in power? Is it this mindset by that leads to an event like Grenfell Tower?

    But Lynsey will also suggest now is the moment to revive the dream of council housing. She asks why we put so much emphasis on health and education, while believing that housing is beyond the reach of the state. She suggests that what we need isn't poor housing for poor people, but a national housing service that serves everyone just like our NHS and schools.

  10. Owner of 'candy-cane' house wins appeal to demolish itpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 11 September 2017

    The property developer who painted red and white stripes on her multi million-pound townhouse has won her appeal over her plans to demolish it.

    Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring always denied the paint job was done to spite her neighbours who objected to her plans to redevelop the three-storey property in South End, Kensington, west London, replacing it with a new home and changing its use from storage to residential.

    Neighbour Niall Carroll asked the High Court to quash a planning inspector's decision to grant permission for the work.

    The businessman said the inspector failed to have proper regard to the material consideration of a possible reversion of the property to office use and failed to give adequate reasons for his conclusions.

    In October last year, Mrs Justice Lang accepted that it appeared that the inspector misdirected himself in law in his consideration of the possible future reversion.

    In a ruling made public today, three judges in the Court of Appeal restored the inspector's decision.

    There are not enough NHS psychiatrists in some parts of the UK and more should be recruited to improve care, says the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

    In Scotland, there are 10 consultant psychiatrists per 100,000 people - but only eight for the same number in England and Northern Ireland, and just six in Wales.

    London's tally is more than double that of the east of England.

    English health ministers said thousands of new posts were already planned.

    The government in England recently announced there would be 570 extra consultant psychiatrists by 2020-21.

    A campaign to raise awareness of "car-dooring" is needed to save lives on Britain's roads, Cycling UK has said.

    The campaign group says cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians are being injured and killed by drivers and their passengers carelessly opening doors.

    Dramatic footage posted on YouTube shows Olukayode Ibrahim colliding with a car door in London on a Sunday afternoon in September last year.

    "I was heading to work in Leicester Square. The cars on the road ahead had been stopped by a traffic light and I rode up beside them.

    "All of a sudden, the passenger door of a VW Golf opened directly in front of me. There was nothing I could do but to brace for the worst as my mind almost blanked," Mr Ibrahim said.

    The Met is beginning an eight-week trial of a drone to support policing operations.

    The drone - an Aeryon Skyranger - is on load from Sussex Police.

    It will be available to officers dealing with incidents where air support would be of use, such as high risk missing people, serious traffic collisions, searches for suspects, weapon sweeps and identification of cannabis factories.

    It will also provide aerial support for pre-planned and spontaneous firearms operations and surveying premises, as well as providing live footage of operational deployments to assist ground commanders' decision making.

    Commander Simon Bray said: "UAVs are already being used by police forces across the UK; the MPS currently owns one for examining crime scenes.

    "We are committed to working with technology that can assist our officers with the wide range of often difficult and dangerous incidents they deal with on a daily basis."

    An oak with royal connections and a mulberry at the centre of a local legend are up for the title of England's Tree of the Year.

    Members of the public are being urged to vote for their favourite tree in the Woodland Trust competition.

    Among the finalists are Evelyn's Mulberry, Deptford, south London, which is rumoured to have been planted by Russian tsar Peter the Great 300 years ago.

    Others include the Parliament Oak in Nottinghamshire, where King John is thought to have summoned a parliament, and the Gilwell Oak in Epping, which inspired Robert Baden Powell.

    Experts will chose a winner from the UK's four finalists to go to the European top tree contest.
