Ironbridge 40's Weekend 2026, held 23rd and 24th May 2026 at Dale End Park, Ironbridge, in Shropshire. An annual 1940's military and civilian re-enactment, using themes and characters mostly from the European theatre of conflict. As always, the atmosphere was fun, friendly and vibrant. Photos taken

Pictures were taken on the Sunday, 24/05/26, at a public event where it is assumed to be OK to publish on the internet. Permission was granted by the subjects for posed photos. However, if anyone wants any photo removed from this set, please contact me, Bob, at dimparcio@protonmail quoting the file number eg DSC1234 and I will do so forthwith. Otherwise, if you like them and would like to download them, please do so, especially if it helps promote re-enactments such as this.

Lengthy photo and video editing sessions can take a toll on your body. Sitting for long periods in an uncomfortable, non-ergonomic chair is painful, bad for your long-term health, and it saps artists of their creative energy and flow. The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2, the first full-body, adaptive ergonomic chair, promises to keep you comfortable whether you're doing a light editing session or working in crunch time.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — One of the gaming world's most persistent rumors has finally been validated: Nintendo has officially announced a full-scale remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the upcoming Switch 2.

Slated for a 2026 launch, the announcement signals a massive homecoming for one of the most influential titles in gaming history.

Widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed games of all time, Ocarina of Time is no stranger to the remake treatment. This marks the second time Nintendo has breathed new life into the legend, following the 2011 release of Ocarina of Time 3D on the Nintendo 3DS, which introduced remastered visuals and streamlined gameplay for a new generation.

However, those expecting a comprehensive deep dive may be left wanting. Nintendo played its cards close to the chest, debuting only a cryptic, short-form trailer that offered a tantalizing but brief glimpse of the game, leaving the finer details of the remake shrouded in mystery.

The announcement arrives as The Legend of Zelda celebrates its landmark 40th anniversary. Nintendo is clearly leaning into a "year of Zelda," expanding the mythos beyond the console and onto the big screen with a highly anticipated live-action film. While the movie's production timeline has shifted several times, the release date has recently been moved up to April 30, 2027.

A few weeks ago, hundreds of climbers hoping to summit Everest were stranded at the mountain’s South Base Camp in Nepal, waiting for a massive block of ice to finally break away and clear the route to Camp I through the Khumbu Icefall. If the climbers were anxious, local agencies were nearly in panic: so much money is at stake that a closed Mount Everest means ruin. But the profits from mountain tourism do not improve the quality of life in a country that, a few months ago, repressed young people protesting in Kathmandu and that in recent days has demolished a vast shantytown sheltering nearly 1.5 million workers, who have been forcibly relocated to places that are equally unfit and even more dangerous. The sun shines on Everest, however, and the sherpas who rig the maze of ice and crevasses in the Khumbu have finally found a safe route that avoids the threatening ice mass.

An Oscar has evaded Josh Brolin so far to this point in his career, but that doesn’t take anything away from what he’s accomplished as one of the most prominent actors working in Hollywood today. It’s been almost 20 years, but Brolim has been nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the 2008 film Milk, which also stars Sean Penn. Most fans would agree that Brolin deserved a nomination for his performance in the CoenBrothers-directed Western, No Country for Old Men, but the spotlight shined brighter on his co-star, Javier Bardem, who won the Best Supporting Actor award that year. Brolin has also earned fame for his role as Gurney Halleck in the Dune franchise, but after playing a key role in the first two films, he will seemingly be absent from Dune: Part Three, which is coming to theaters later this year on December 18.

DUNGUN, June 6 — A woman who suffered a severed left leg in an accident at Kilometre 341.5 of the East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT2) near the Paka Rest and Service Area (R&R) here yesterday died while receiving treatment at Dungun Hospital last night.

Dungun Acting Police Chief DSP Jumaidy Bah Chong Weh said police received a report that Maziah Che Hassan, 57, died at 7.15pm.

She was travelling in a Proton X70 sport utility vehicle (SUV) with four other individuals when the accident occurred at 5.15pm while they were heading towards Kuantan, Pahang, after attending a wedding ceremony in Kuala Berang, Hulu Terengganu.

“The driver is believed to have fallen asleep at the wheel, causing the vehicle to lose control while negotiating a bend before crashing into a road barrier.

“As a result of the impact, the vehicle spun several times and became lodged on the road barrier,” he said in a statement today.

He said the driver and three other passengers, who were also injured, were taken to Dungun Hospital for treatment and the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. — Bernama
