D-Day 65th Anniversary

Whilst Prince Charles stood in for the Queen at the 65th Commemoration of the D-Day landings, Her Majesty was at Epsom to watch the Derby. This is the only English Classic race that she hasn't won and, apparently, the only time that she hasn't attended the Derby was for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day!

The Apprentice - Series 5

Now we know who the finalists are - Kate and Yasmina. It's been a great series so far and I can't pick a winner! I thought James was very entertaining and would actually be good to work for. Lorraine and Debra had their qualities, but I'm not sure I could work for either of them! So, we'll find out on Sunday who has won and become Sir Alan's Apprentice for 2009!
