"Rihanna has wrapped up BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend with a headline performance which featured a stage design inspired by ancient Egypt, spectacular fireworks and a guest performance from Jay-Z.


Beyonce, Jessie J and Tinie Tempah were among 50,000 fans to watch the Bajan star's 65-minute set close a weekend of live music at Hackney Marshes.


It climaxed with Jay-Z reciprocating Rihanna's cameo during his headline slot on Saturday, as he joined her for an encore of Run This Town, Talk That Talk and Umbrella.


Speaking from the stage, shortly before finishing, Rihanna said: "This is history in the making."

Radio 4 is currently running a series called The New Elizabethans.


"60 profiles of men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and given the age its character, for better or worse."


Simon Cowell does indeed makes the list as does Barabara Windsor.

I was thinking the same Loz, but I suppose they could argue most of the work he was known for was from before the coronation, he died two years later. Churchill also not on the list for similar reasons I would imagine.


I would have found room for *Sir Clive Sinclair, for turning a generation of kids onto computing and JK Rowling for keeping the next generation reading.


*maybe I'm still trying to justify buying a Sinclair QL though.

Isn't this kind of thing usually the province of the Mail-On-Sunday?

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
