Hero World War Two pigeon’s bravery medal set to sell for huge sum at auction
A MEDAL awarded to a hero pigeon in World War Two is set to sell for £10,000 at auction.
Tommy was supposed to be racing from Dorset to Cumbria in 1942 when a storm blew him into Nazi-occupied Holland.
A postman found him exhausted and gave him to pigeon fancier and Resistance member Dick Dryver.
He identified Tommy as British from a leg ring, nursed him to fitnesses and released him with a secret message.
The Germans had become aware pigeons were being used this way, and Tommy was shot through the wing by a sniper.
But he still completed the 400-mile flight back to Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria — six weeks after he started the race in Christchurch.
Owner William Brockbank spotted the words: “God bless Queen Wilhelmina and long live Winston Churchill.”
Thinking there might be more to it, he gave it to police who passed it to intelligence services.
They found information that led to the RAF bombing a German weapons site.
Tommy was presented the PDSA Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross, at the Dutch embassy in 1946 and became a local celeb.
The medal will be sold in Carlisle on Friday.
Auctioneer Paul Laidlaw said: “Tommy has a great story.”
‘White lie’ party for 100 drunk teens ‘hosted by ex-teacher of the year Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan’ as past bashes exposed
THE principal accused of hosting a blow-out party for 100 rowdy teens was known for throwing monthly bashes at her home, a bombshell arrest warrant reveals.
Disgraced Florida educator Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan and fellow teacher Karly Anderson were arrested after cops found drunken teens throwing up and screaming curse words on the principal’s front lawn.
On January 19, cops found the Roosevelt Elementary School educators at the party held outside Hill-Brodigan’s home in Cocoa Beach, about an hour east of Orlando, an affidavit seen by Florida Today alleges.
Cocoa Beach police were called to the house by angry neighbors who reported hearing screams and seeing raucous teens drinking and smoking marijuana.
Cops first called Hill-Brodigan at 8:45 pm and told her about the party. She said she was down the street but would go home to break it up within the hour, the arrest docs say.
However, 10 minutes later, the party was still raging and complaints were still being called in, so officers made their way over to investigate.
On their way, they caught a teen who was driving away from the home. The driver warned cops there was a minor at the party who had been flashing a gun.
Around the same time, they got reports of gunfire and “satanic activity” at a nearby skatepark, but when they arrived, they didn’t find anything.
Another teen was caught driving away from the house, and this time the driver was drunk, cops said.
Officers got to Hill-Brodigan’s home by 11:40 pm, and by then, most of the teens had left.
The party was “white lie” themed, so the remaining attendees were seen wearing white T-shirts with a lie scrawled on the front.
Cops initially saw Hill-Brodigan at the top of her driveway, but after they arrived, she went inside the house and turned off all the lights.
After searching around the property, officers found a drunk teen on the ground, vomiting and shaking.
As they took him to their patrol car for help, Anderson, a third-grade teacher, ran over and started screaming to stop putting the boy “in a machine,” the affidavit alleges.
Anderson, who cops say had slurred words and smelled of alcohol, told the officers she had been hanging around the party.
They had a brief conversation with the teacher and then left.
DISTURBING HISTORY
The day after the party, officers called Anderson, who told them she had gone over to the home after Hill-Brodigan asked her to come have a drink.
Anderson said she didn’t participate in the party and claimed Hill-Brodigan only had one drink that night.
Hill-Brodigan initially agreed to give cops a verbal statement explaining what happened, but she later changed her mind.
On January 21, detectives interviewed several students who were at the party and learned Hill-Brodigan allegedly had a reputation.
Students claimed Hill-Brodigan’s two sons threw parties there on a monthly basis, and his mom appeared to be “OK with what was happening,” the affidavit reads.
Some of them said they were allegedly asked by the principal to get to her home early so they could help fill red and white coolers with alcohol and put them outside.
At one point, the educator tried to stop the bashes, but her son wouldn’t listen, the teens told cops.
Other kids admitted there was marijuana at the function and claimed one teen was wearing a mask and flashing a Beretta gun.
The party had been advertised on Snapchat.
‘REALLY BAD CHOICE’
Community members voiced their shock and anger after hearing news of the educators’ arrest.
Kimberly Bound, whose grandson is a kindergartener at Roosevelt, was nearly speechless over the arrests.
“I’m not really sure how to feel about it,” she told Spectrum News 13.
“I mean, you have to make right decisions, especially with kids. It’s a really bad choice of decisions.”
Brevard Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Rendell released a statement addressing the situation.
He said, “We hold our leaders to the highest of standards, and if these allegations are true, it’s a complete failure in leadership and violation of our trust.
“The district is cooperating fully with police as they investigate this matter and will strive to provide families with full transparency.”
Hill-Brodigan has been charged with child neglect, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and holding an open house party.
Anderson was also charged with child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Hill-Brodigan has been placed on leave, and her position is being filled by another administrator.
My council house kitchen was cracked & peeling until I upcycled it – now it looks brand new
A MUM-OF-TWO showed off the DIY transformation she gave the kitchen in her council house.
She shared before and after photographs of her handywork, which involved upcycling her cupboards and counter tops.
In her viral video, TikTok user Chloe (@chloeanne) showed her audience how she “upcycled” her council house kitchen.
The TikToker revealed that she was able to complete the project on a budget.
For her first step, she used a screwdriver to remove all her cupboard doors.
Chloe explained the issue she was having with her cupboards that made them unsightly.
“I had to peel all the plastic coating as it had peeled and cracked before we moved in,” she said.
Next, she removed the handles from all the doors, explaining that the process was “time consuming but worth it.”
Once she had done this, Chloe measured out white plastic covering and wrapped it around each door.
She used a hair dryer to seal the cover to each door, trimming it neatly on the interior side.
The TikToker then reattached each of the handles and hung her doors back up.
For the second part of her DIY renovation, Chloe tackled her kitchen counter tops.
She decided to over the off-white linoleum surface with a faux wood vinyl covering.
The DIY enthusiast explained that she “had some help with doing the sides.”
She showed her followers how her partner carefully applied the covering to the counter tops.
Finally, Chloe shared photos of her finished kitchen, which looked instantly brighter.
Her followers shared their thoughts on the transformation in the comments section.
Rules on transforming your council house
According to Gov, the kind of improvements you can make to your council property depends on the type of tenancy you have.
Introductory tenants are usually limited to minor improvements like redecorating inside.
If you’re a secure tenant, you have the right to carry out improvements to your property. These include:
- installing a new bathroom or kitchen
- building an extension
- putting up a garden shed or greenhouse
- installing a new gas fire or fireplace
- cavity wall insulation
- redecorating the outside of a house
- fitting an aerial or satellite dish
You might need your council’s written permission for work you do. Contact your council if you’re not sure.
“It looks lush! Thanks for the inspiration to do my council kitchen,” wrote one impressed viewer.
“Done a grand job. Looks fab,” agreed another follower.
“Looks absolutely lovely, you did an amazing job,” commented a third person.
“I did this with my kitchen, we went with black units, my kitchen was literally the same as yours,” shared another TikTok user.
“Looks amazing, like a different kitchen altogether, love it, hun,” said one viewer.
‘It’s giving Victoria’s Secret’ cry shoppers as they fall in love with Primark’s new collection
SHOPPERS already love Primark thanks to its gorgeous buys at affordable prices.
And they’ve fallen head over heels with the retail giant’s new Valentine’s collection.
The Edinburgh store went viral this week after giving fashion fans a peek at the “cute” pieces up for grabs.
From lacy lingerie to heart-adorned pyjamas, love is sure to look good on you whatever your plans may be for February 14.
The clip shows a stunning baby pink bralette with a love heart pattern and matching thong that is perfect for the occassion.
But if it’s a fun Galentines that you have planned with your besties, nothing beats matching PJs – whether it’s a self-care day or a sleepover with the gang.
There are a selection of heart-printed sets on the rails with prices starting from just £14.
People have even compared the pink striped shorts set to Victoria’s Secret.
The adorable rose satin cami tops, available in two colours, would also look great paired with jeans – and are a steal at £7.
With more than 300,000 people watching the video so far, it’s no surprise that shoppers are racing to their nearest Primark to bag the new range.
One person gushed: “We need to go omg.”
A second insisted: “It’s giving Victoria’s Secret.”
“Omg look how cute”, cried a third.
A fourth said: “I’m honestly keen to buy some for us.”
“We need a trip”, wrote a fifth.
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “Obsessed with all the pink.”
It’s not the first Valentine’s range in store that’s got fashion fans in a frenzy.
Shoppers can’t get enough of the high street giant’s nostalgic baby tees inspired by Friends.
The £7 tops, available in sizes 2XS to XL, come in two versions – with a cute cream option featuring the slogan “you’re my lobster”.
The phrase refers to the moment Phoebe Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow, says “She’s your lobster” to refer to Ross and Rachel as soulmates.
The second, a white tee, is emblazoned with “We were on a break” in block capitals – as a nod to Ross and Rachel’s iconic fallout over his ‘cheating’.
Describing the range on their website, the Primark team said: “Could this BE any more nostalgic?”
