Amid awkward kisses and fears of fainting, winners at the Royal Albert Hall thanked their collaborators, spouses … and chartered accountants

Director Robert Icke on the unexpected effect of staging the tragedy Oedipus:

We’ve had such a nice time – it turns out incest really brings people together!

Romola, I think I’m going to faint!

I just won an Olivier for playing an iceberg!

I would like to thank Annie Ernaux for reminding us all that the story of a normal woman’s life can be extraordinary

There are four nominees and I don’t understand how you can choose between these four handsome hunks

Thank you to Rosenblatt and Hytner. Which sounds like three people doesn’t it? Like a firm of chartered accountants. Rosen, Blatt and Hytner. I’d use them. Thanks to all three of you!

Trust me to make it awkward with a kiss!

A £10 cash payment to fake parking stewards led to a real £170 penalty charge notice for one fan

I received a £170 penalty charge notice (PCN) after being scammed by fake parking stewards while attending a football match at Old Trafford. This must be affecting unsuspecting fans at every match.

I had been directed to park on a nearby street by men wearing hi-vis jackets with “official match day parking” written on them. They demanded a £10 parking fee in cash. I later discovered they were rogue operators and that they had tricked me into parking on private land.

Meeting in Luxembourg follows EU trade commissioner’s meetings with US counterparts last week as Trump signals no intention to back down

US president Donald Trump have signaled no intention to back down on his tariffs policy over the weekend, as he urged reporters to “forget markets for a second” and insisted “we have all the advantages.”

“I don’t want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something,” he said amid continuing slumps on global markets.

Fifty years on from becoming the first black golfer to tee up at the Masters, the sport must pause to recognise a pioneer

For Carl Jackson, the path was one well trodden. Caddie shed to 1st tee; he had done it hundreds of times over 14 years as a bag man at the Masters. Jackson’s connection to Augusta National stretched even beyond his major debut of 1961. He was a caddie at the venue from the age of 14, breaching employment law even as existed in 1950s Georgia but savvy enough to make a mark. Jackson was quickly accepted.

This time, Jackson had no cause to give advice over a choice of club. He had no competitor anxiety to calm. Thursday 10 April 1975. Fore please, now driving: Lee Elder. Jackson made sure he formed part of the gallery. A Masters colour split – caddies black, players white – was about to end.

United and City play out a deeply forgettable Manchester derby and Unai Emery gets his Aston Villa team right

• Premier League top scorers: the latest standings

This was a deeply forgettable derby, but it was Manchester United who looked the more likely to get a winner as time ticked down. Ruben Amorim spoke afterwards of using pace in transitions to try and carve out chances – and with a little more composure in the penalty area, it might have worked. Bruno Fernandes was the game’s standout player but Patrick Dorgu also caught the eye in just his fifth Premier League start. Signed from Lecce in January, the Danish wing-back is the first player Amorim has brought in that fits his system. Freed up by City’s narrow formation, Dorgu was able to get forward and test City’s backline at will. The 20-year-old’s red card at Ipswich sparked fears that, like some other young United recruits, he was too raw for regular Premier League football. Sunday’s performance should ensure he holds down the left-sided spot in Amorim’s 3-4-3 setup for the rest of this season, even with Luke Shaw nearing a return to fitness. Niall McVeigh

His unmistakable floral patterns – awash with willow, blackthorn and pimpernel – are now on everything from walking sticks to the seats submariners sit on. We go behind the scenes of a dazzling new show

He has papered our walls and carpeted our floors, enlivened our curtains, coats and cups, and even infiltrated Britain’s nuclear submarine fleet. Almost 130 years after his death, the Victorian arts and crafts designer William Morris has blanketed the world with his unmistakable brand of busy floral patterns, wrapping our lives with tasteful swathes of willow, blackthorn and pimpernel, peppered with cheeky strawberry-eating robins. There’s no escape.

“I started seeing Morris everywhere,” says Hadrian Garrard, director of the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, east London, speaking with the air of someone trying to shake off a stalker. “He’s on phonecases, umbrellas, walking sticks – and about a third of the Victoria and Albert Museum gift shop. I thought it was time that we addressed how we got here – how did William Morris, Britain’s greatest designer, go viral?”

As M&S collaboration with Olivia von Halle launches, our intrepid writer road-tests Hollywood’s latest daytime PJ trend on the streets of Hackney

For me, putting on a pair of pyjamas usually means time to take off my makeup. So it feels a little strange to instead be applying a full face as I prepare to leave my flat wearing a pair of PJs.

At first glance, it might look like I haven’t bothered to get dressed this morning, but I am road-testing Marks & Spencer’s new fashion collaboration . The retailer is gearing up to release what it calls “the most luxurious pyjamas the high street has ever seen”. It has teamed up with Olivia von Halle, a British designer known for her fancy silk PJs that sell for upwards of £600. From Tuesday, at M&S you’ll be able to pick up a similar set for £55.

The Smashing Pumpkins songwriter and guitarist on overdoing karaoke, joining Pink Floyd on stage and his secret love of Katy Perry’s Roar

The first single I bought
She Loves You by the Beatles, for 25 cents at a garage sale in Glendale Heights, Illinois, even though I didn’t know who the Beatles were. I just liked how they looked on the cover, their faces half in shadow.

The song that makes me cry
I’ve been lucky enough to play Wish You Were Here both when Pink Floyd were inducted in the Hall of Fame, and with Roger Waters at a benefit. It’s speaks to me in a way very few songs do. The pleasure of playing with them is hard to describe.
