Reporter, BBC News OnlineThe arrival of a train carriage has fuelled speculation Hollywood star Tom Cruise could be about to visit a Derbyshire village.
Cruise has been seen in a number of UK locations, apparently shooting scenes for the next Mission: Impossible film.
Construction of a track has started at Darlton Quarry near Stoney Middleton that is said to be connected to the film, but so far there has been no sign of the man himself.
Image source, Pete GraftonThis may be about to change after the carriage - dark blue and with French writing - was driven through the village on a lorry.
Pete Grafton, the owner of Toll Bar Fish & Chips in the village, said: "There were some signs put up saying a big vehicle was coming through, and it was the carriage.
"Clearly there is a French theme and the word is Tom might be coming over next week."
Retired police dog dies after sudden illnesspublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 28 May 2021
Sandish Shoker
BBC NewsThe handler of a former police dog has paid tribute to him after he died earlier this month from a sudden illness.
He had kept nine-year-old Kaiser on as a family pet after his retirement and said: "Kaiser was the biggest and most committed police dog I've worked with. He was also the most vocal, as anyone who ever came near him or his van will tell you.
"Throughout his career he found numerous suspects and worked countless football matches.
"It's fair to say that Kaiser was more than happy to take 'positive action' to prevent disorder. He is a sadly missed best friend and family member."
Image source, Derbyshire PoliceKaiser served for four years before having to retire due to a back condition.
A police spokesperson described him as "brave and stoic right to the end, as he was throughout his life and career".

Greig Watson
Reporter, BBC News OnlineA man who groomed a 13-year-old girl and then met her for sex has been jailed for four and a half years.
David Beesley, 30, posed as a 19-year-old when he contacted the girl via social media in 2019.
After exchanging a series of explicit messages, he drove from his home in Proffitt Avenue, Coventry, to the girl's home near Leicester to meet up.
He then returned the next day to have sex.
Image source, Leicestershire PoliceThe girl told her family in December 2019 and Beesley was subsequently arrested.
Earlier this year he pleaded guilty to 10 charges including five counts of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15.
After the sentencing at Leicester Crown Court today, Det Con Matt Gibson said: "I am pleased that the victim in this case has not had to recount what happened in front of a jury and that Beesley accepted a degree of responsibility for his actions by admitting his crimes."
