We may be out of lockdown, but I'm sure there are still many who are shielding or keeping indoors (especially when the weather is so miserable).

Today we learned the sad news of Dame Vera Lynn 's passing. The voice of a generation, her music provided both cheer and solemn reflection during the Second World War and beyond. Known for her rendition of We'll Meet Again , the song touched a new generation during the recent 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day on the 8th May this year.

It's local and community history month, so we are looking at some of the communities across Greater Manchester and Cheshire that have helped us change lives over the past 150 years.

Continuing our exploration of the illustrations created for the Manchester and Salford Refuges, we’re putting a spotlight on an image depicting the events of the 1923 Belmont Garden Fete . Some readers may have seen this little cartoon before.

We have fingers crossed for sun on Saturday as the Together Trust celebrates its 91st Cheadle Festival here on our site at Schools Hill, Cheadle. The family fun day is the social highlight of the year for the charity, as it lets service users, staff and the local community all come together, as well as raising much needed funds. It also allows us to promote the work we do within the area and a fun time can be had by all. Partakers in ‘It’s a Knockout’ at the Cheadle Festival 2011
