A new book celebrates the life of Otago farmer and fashion collector Eden Hore, providing a unique snapshot of New Zealand in the 1970s and 80s

In the 1970s, farmer and war veteran Eden Hore raised the eyebrows of his neighbours when he began collecting what he described as “high and exotic fashion”. Shimmering sequins, delicate tulle and frothy chiffon were not what one expected to find on a sheep and cattle farm.

“I’ve always been a bit different. A bachelor with all these dresses,” said the late Hore, who ran a sheep and cattle farm in Central Otago in New Zealand’s South Island before his death in 1997.

The comedian Katherine Ryan has received a second skin cancer diagnosis after raising concerns about a mole on her arm.

Ryan attended a private clinic where a doctor who also works for the NHS dismissed her concerns about melanoma and gave her the all-clear, but she went back and a test revealed the mole was cancerous.

Poll result defied candidates’ calculations and illustrated outgoing president’s influence but change may yet come

It might sound beyond ridiculous, given the scale of Kirsty Coventry’s seismic victory in the International Olympic Committee presidential election. But as the various royals, sporting dignitaries, politicians and billionaires left the Costa Navarino resort on Friday, some really believed the result could have turned out very differently .

Yes, the 41-year-old Zimbabwean ex-swimmer had won in the first round with 49 votes to become the first woman to lead the IOC. And yes, Juan Antonio Samaranch and Sebastian Coe, the other members of the “Big Three”, had come away with just 28 and eight votes respectively. But in the postmortem there were several stories about how the IOC machine had powered Thomas Bach’s chosen successor over the line.

• World Cup qualifying news from the 7.45pm GMT kick-off
• Live scores | Read Football Daily | And you can email Scott

It’s the start of England’s bid to win the 2026 World Cup. It’s the first game of the Thomas Tuchel era. It’s a showdown with Albania, who are zero-and-six against the Three Lions, England having rattled up an historical aggregate score of 19-1. On balance, then, this is intriguing rather than exciting, though it’ll be quite the story should the Kuqezinjtë – the Red and Blacks – break precedent and steal away from Wembley with a point or more. It’s number four in the Fifa rankings versus number 65. It should be a home banker. It kicks off at 7.45pm GMT. And it’s on.

Residents of villages under airport’s flightpath savour a brief taste of ‘peace and tranquillity’ amid travel chaos

Chirping birds and unbroken skies come as standard in many English villages, though not in Harmondsworth – which lies just under Heathrow’s flight path. But Friday was different.

“It’s been peace and tranquillity,” said 72-year-old Andrew Melville, who has lived in the village, which straddles the border of London and Berkshire, for 49 years. “Especially not being woken up by transatlantic flights in the early morning.”
