The Duchess of Cambridge looked elegant in a polka dot dress (pictured) as she arrived at Bletchley Park today. The royal is on hand to see a special exhibition marking the valuable role codebreakers played in D-Day ahead of the 75th anniversary of the invasion next month. Bletchley Park holds a special personal significance to the Duchess as her grandmother, Valerie Glassborow, was among those who worked to decipher the secrets of the German Enigma machine.
Oritse Williams 'jumped on "zombified" woman and raped her in his hotel room even though she had made clear she didn't want sex with ex-JLS star'
The JLS singer, 32, raped the 'zombified' woman when she went to his hotel room to look for her mobile phone following a gig at a Wolverhampton nightclub, prosecutors said today. The alleged victim claims she and her two friends ‘felt odd’, leading to suggestions they may ‘have been drugged’. Williams had tried attempted to have sex with the woman, but she had made it clear she did not want to - however when she returned to retrieve her phone, the singer ‘effectively jumped on her,’ the court heard.
Jeremy Kyle guest, 62, lay dead for DAYS before he was discovered by his landlady after 'killing himself' less than a week after failing lie detector test - as calls grow for show to be axed
Digger driver Steven Dymond, 62, died less than a week after failing a lie detector test while filming an episode of the controversial ITV daytime chat show, which he had gone on with his on-and-off girlfriend Jane Callaghan (left, together). He had appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show (top right) on May 2 before his body was found at a block of flats in Portsmouth (bottom right) on May 9, although South Central Ambulance officials said he had been dead 'for a number of days'. Meanwhile it also emerged there was a warrant out after he failed to appear in court in February over more than £4,300 in fines dating back to 1997. And a leaked email revealed ITV's chief executive Carolyn McCall had told staff the suspension of the programme was not 'a reflection of the show' but to guard against the 'reaction we expect to this death'.

Tommy Robinson will face new contempt proceedings over claim he filmed people in criminal trial and put the footage on social media, High Court judges rule
Hundreds gathered outside the Old Bailey in London today as it was revealed Tommy Robinson (left and right today) would face fresh contempt of court proceedings for filming outside Leeds Crown Court in 2018. The former English Defence League leader, 36, was jailed for 13 months in May last year over the allegation. But a contempt finding made against Robinson was quashed by the Court of Appeal in August and he was freed from prison after serving two months of his sentence. But earlier this month Attorney General Geoffrey Cox QC said it was in the public interest to bring fresh proceedings. And after a first hearing today it was decided that Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, will definitely face fresh proceedings. Robinson's footage, lasting around an hour and a half, was watched 250,000 times within hours of being posted on Facebook. It was filmed during one of a series of trials of a Huddersfield grooming gang, which was covered by strict reporting restrictions banning publication of any details until the end of the final one in September last year.
Gulf War veteran says he considered suicide after he was branded 'a disgrace' in 'kangaroo court' Jeremy Kyle Show he was told would be a reunion with his estranged daughter
Fergus Kenny, 49 (pictured today, top right) agreed to go on the ITV programme in 2016 after his estranged daughter Hayleigh (pictured together on set, left) said she would take part in a reunion show. He turned up at the studio expecting an emotional reunion with his daughter but says it quickly descended into a 'kangaroo court' where the host accused him of abandoning his family. Mr Kenny (pictured in Basra in 2006, bottom right), who served during the Gulf War and in Iraq and Bosnia, was mercilessly booed and branded a 'disgrace by the presenter. The father-of-three says he felt extremely low after going on the show and considered taking his own life. He wants to share his story following the death of Steven Dymond - 10 days after he appeared on Jeremy Kyle.
Labour are now NINE POINTS ahead of the Tories making Corbyn favourite to be the next PM, poll reveals as May tells Cabinet 'high noon' she will to pass Brexit deal by summer and then step down to save Tories
As the Conservatives continue to leak voters to Nigel Farage 's Brexit Party, the Prime Minister's spokesman today said she wanted a deal done before the Commons rises for its summer recess.It came after a lengthy Cabinet meeting in Downing Street this morning featuring a host of ministers already vying to replace Mrs May as party leader amid an increasing clamour for her to set out an exit date. If a general election was held tomorrow Jeremy Corbyn 's party would grab 34 per cent of the vote and he would be the next Prime Minister, a new Kantar opinion poll has revealed. The Conservatives, who were polling at 41 per cent in March, are now on 25 per cent as anger over Mrs May's failure to deliver Brexit grows.The Liberal Democrats would secure 15 per cent of the vote with the Brexit Party on 10 per cent and the SNP on five per cent ahead of new remain party Change UK with a dismal one per cent A separate poll, also by Kantar, also found that half of people want a second referendum Brexit. Calls for Mrs May have intensified since this month's local elections when the Conservatives lost 1,300 seats. Ministers now fear a bloodbath at the hands of Nigel Farage's Brexit Party next week when the country goes to the polls for European parliament elections
'Fantasist' known as 'Nick' wept as he told police 'he saw a boy murdered as part of unfounded claims which sparked £2million police probe into VIP paedophile ring'
Carl Beech, 51, is on trial at Newcastle Crown Court charged with 12 counts of perverting the course of justice. Beech was anonymised as 'Nick' when he alleged he had been sexually abused as a child by a VIP sex ring based in Westminster. Beech wiped away a tear (left) as he told police about a childhood friend allegedly killed on the orders of 'the group' whose abuse started when he was 10 (inset). He accused prominent men including (right hand side, clockwise) former Home Secretary Leon Brittan, former British Army Commander in Chief Lord Bramall, former Tory MP Harvey Proctor and former Tory PM Edward Heath. A Met detective called his accusations 'credible and true' and the force spent £2.5million on an fruitless investigation.
Father, 31, whose baby son died four years after he shook him in a fit of rage that left him brain-damaged AVOIDS murder charge despite doctors saying injuries 'likely' contributed to death
Richard Lovell (inset bottom), 31, attacked son R-Jay (left and right) at home in Chester when he was just three months old in February 2012 but will not face a murder charge over his death four years later. Lovell was jailed for two-and-a-half years in 2013 over the attack, which left R-Jay with a series of medical issues including cerebral palsy and daily seizures. He then developed pneumonia in January 2016 and died in hospital. Medical experts said the shaking 'likely' contributed to his death but said they could not be certain, leading to a verdict of natural causes at his inquest. Pictured inset top is R-Jay's mother Leanne Bullock.
Farage launches new attack on Marr and accuses the BBC of deliberately 'ignoring' the Brexit party, trying to exclude it from Question Time - and even claims the Beeb secretly takes EU money
The Brexit Party leader, 55, (right today) clashed with the broadcaster, 59, (left) on his Sunday morning TV show in a row (inset) that has shocked and split viewers. Mr Farage, who was asked about comments he had made about Putin, climate change and the NHS, said: 'It was bizarre that the ludicrous line of questioning persisted all the way through'. In an incendiary column today, Mr Farage says he is a victim of BBC 'bias' and had to 'fight like crazy' to get on to Question Time on Thursday because 'the BBC now have to gender balance everything'. He also claimed the BBC was 'still receiving a seven-figure sum from the EU, taking millions in this way from the EU during the past decade. It does so secretly, without mentioning this in its accounts. I find this highly suspicious'. The BBC's Media Action charity was paid more than £3million from Brussels in the 2017-18 financial year, but denies this was secretive. Mr Farage's new party is flying in the polls and is predicted to win the popular vote when the European elections take place on May 23.

Electrician Joshua Aspey, 22, sprang into action when Sally, his Jack Russell, choked on a piece of cheese and started to fit. The former lifeguard, from Watchet, Somerset, used skills he learned for his poolside job and thumped Sally on the back and chest to dislodge the blocked food.

Parents are found GUILTY over death of nine-week-old son, who had broken ribs and a human bite mark, after they spent drunken night rowing about lack of sex and money due to their baby
Neighbours heard Luke Morgan, 26, and Emma Cole, 22 (both pictured outside Stafford Crown Court at an earlier hearing and pictured in mugshots inset) having a drunken argument in the early hours of April 29 2014. Their six-week trial were told they were rowing about not having enough money and being unable to have sex because their nine-week-old baby Tyler was crying. Little Tyler was found with broken ribs and what appeared to be a human bite mark when paramedics finally arrived at their flat in Burntwood, Staffordshire at 2.51am. Jurors heard there was a 'significant' delay in contacting the emergency services after Tyler was smothered and collapsed in the early hours. He was rushed to hospital but died shortly after 4am. Morgan and Cole were also found guilty of child cruelty but were cleared of charges of murder and manslaughter after a trial at Stafford Crown Court.

PICTURED: 'Beautiful' 15-year-old girl who died after taking Ecstasy 'bomb' as police arrest teenage boy on suspicion of supplying class A drugs
Leah Hayes (pictured left and right) died in hospital after collapsing in a car park (inset) in Northallerton on Saturday night amid fears she took a lethal batch of ecstasy. A teenage boy has since been arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs and police, who fear Miss Hayes may have taken a 'rogue' batch of MDMA, say they have 'not ruled out' making more arrests. The 15-year-old's father today left a heartfelt note at the scene, reading: 'In the heart-wrenching note, her dad wrote: My beautiful daughter Leah, I can’t believe you have gone, I still can't believe it and never will. Fly high and be happy. Until we meet again.'
This Cabinet minister's FOUR ovens aren't the only sign he's keeping up with the Joneses when it comes to aspirational must-haves... so how classy is YOUR kitchen?
ANTONIA HOYLE: Once it was your choice of car or the time you served your evening meal that marked you out as middle class. Today, anyone attempting to assess social status needs to look in the kitchen. For Cabinet minister James Brokenshire and his wife, Cathy, it was the sight of the two double ovens in their extended kitchen in South-East London that left no doubt they are keeping up with the Joneses.
Freddie Starr's sister says Operation Yewtree killed the comic because groping claims turned him into debt-ridden recluse before his death at 76
Freddie Starr, 76, (pictured right) a household name who rose to fame in the 1970s, was found dead at his home in Spain on Thursday, last week. He established himself as a popular stand-up act, and became arguably the best-known comedian of his age, earning thousands of fans and £2million a year, performing to packed audiences. But his later years were marred by allegations of historic sexual assault and he was arrested four times during Operation Yewtree - the investigation into historic child abuse, but released without charge. In a bid to clear his name, he had launched a libel claim against the woman who had pointed the finger at him. Starr (pictured left with dancing group Hot Gossip before a show in London in 1981) lost the damages claim against his accuser in the High Court in 2015 that cost him a rumoured £1 million before fleeing to Spain where he spent the remainder of his years. His sister Brenda Hughes said: 'Freddie telephoned me after the case ended. I think it had a big impact on him both mentally and physically. He felt devastated and I don't think he ever properly recovered.'

'We are very lucky people': Survivor, 25, pulled from burning plane along with his 16-year-old sister and their pilot uncle thanks heroes who saved them after A40 plane crash
Jack Moore, 25, (bottom right) was flying in the plane with sister Billie Manley, 16, (top right) and pilot uncle Stuart Moore (inset) when disaster struck on their way to see Manchester United play. The light aircraft hit overhead power cables - and the plane burst into flames when it attempted an emergency landing on a busy road. Pilot Stuart had taken off from Abergavenny Airfield in South Wales to fly to Old Trafford to see Cardiff City face Manchester United.

World's biggest semi-submersible ship that is so big it can move oil rigs around and carry 110,000 tons of cargo is spotted off Cornwall
Adrian Thomas, from Mermaid Pleasure Trips, saw the 91,000 ton BOKA Vanguard near Mount's Bay, off the coast of Marazion, Cornwall, this weekend. The 'jaw-dropping' vessel can carry cargoes of up to 110,000 tons - 19,000 tons heavier than itself - including ships, oil rigs and other offshore installations. And its flat deck allows ships longer than it is to overhang the bow. Mr Thomas said: 'I was astonished by the ship while I navigated around it. It was a great sight for me and my guests. You could see it from the land for ages. It looked like a giant oil rig from the land.'
