Emperor Naruhito’s niece, Princess Mako is set to marry her university sweetheart Kei Komuro in a Japanese imperial wedding unlike any before, without any of the traditional Shinto ritual or large-scale celebration. The couple, both 30, will become man and wife when a courtier submits documents on their behalf in the equivalent of a Tokyo register office. They have insisted on foregoing the cash gift of about a million pounds usually made to princesses on their marriage. Soon after the wedding they will leave Japan for New York, where Komuro will work as a newly qualified lawyer.

Abandoned and neglected, little Gloria was rescued from a property in Whiteheads Creek, about 90 kms north-east of Melbourne.

The 27ft (8m) National Monument Against Violence and Aggression, known as the Knife Angel, completed in 2018.
The Knife Angel is made from approximately 100,000 knives and blades taken from the streets of Britain. In collaboration with all 43 Police Constabularies in the UK, the blades were collected through knife amnesties and surrenders across the country. Once collected, the blades were safely transported to the Centre, where they were blunted and sterilized before use. A number of weapons even arrived in evidence packaging and included small traces of blood. Families of victims were invited to engrave some of the blades with messages of hope, love and disbelief, which can now be seen on the Angel’s wings.
