Queen guitarist Brian, 77, who has been married to Anita for 23 years, had the health scare last month and was left unable to use his arm.

It has become a fashionable cause among celebrities from Ricky Gervais to Joanna Lumley and Ranulph Fiennes. Even Queen guitarist, Brian May, has demanded an end to 'this sense-less slaughter'. They are fervent supporters of the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill - legislation that would prevent people from bringing trophies such as heads and hooves into Britain following trips stalking big game in Africa and elsewhere.

Queen guitarist Brian May today revealed he suffered a stroke, telling social media followers of one symptom: he's temporarily unable to use his left arm. In a video shared to social media, the legendary musician, 77, said he was currently 'not allowed to go out' after the medical emergency last week. But Sir Brian, who looked animated and well in the clip, confirmed he could now still play guitar despite the 'little health hiccup'.

Culling badgers to prevent tuberculosis spreading among cattle will end within five years, ministers said yesterday. Instead of being shot in their thousands, badgers will now be vaccinated instead - a move likely to enrage farmers. The badger cull formed a central pillar of the previous Government's efforts to reduce TB in cattle. But the Labour administration said it would stop the cull by 2029, carry out a census of badgers and develop vaccines for badgers and cattle.

Sir Brian, 77, the former Queen guitarist, claimed his documentary, which will be broadcast on BBC2 on Friday, will 'outrage' viewers and likened its revelations to the Post Office scandal. But countryside campaigners last night warned BBC boss Tim Davie that commissioning the film by Sir Brian, a fierce critic of badger culling who has campaigned against it for decades, is 'fundamentally incompatible' with BBC impartiality rules. Tens of thousands of badgers have been killed in England since 2013 in a bid to stop them spreading TB to cattle and to eradicate the disease in the UK by 2038. The culling is hugely controversial: wildlife campaigners claim it is ineffective and 'inhumane' but many farmers believe reducing the number of badgers is critical to stop their livelihoods being destroyed.

Those who were presented to the Queen often found the experience discombobulating. Though it may have been the first time they had ever set eyes on her, they were often more familiar with her face than with their own. They knew it in profile; they knew it head-on; they had seen it refracted through the visions of countless artists and photographers. So to meet the Queen face-to-face was apt to make you feel giddy or woozy, as though a well-loved family portrait had suddenly sprung to life

The guitarist, 77, has long stood against the government program since it was introduced a decade ago calling it an 'unnecessary crime '. Sir Brian blasted the new government for 'the way it is behaving' and hopes there will be a 'big public outcry'. Labour pledged in its 2024 manifesto to 'work with farmers and scientists on measures to eradicate Bovine TB, protecting livelihoods so that we can end the ineffective badger cull'. The Government's existing policy of intensive and supplementary control will end by January 2026.

They are one of the country's most popular animals. Hedgehogs, on the other hand, aren't welcome everywhere. Every single one of the creatures from a group of Scottish islands is being eradicated by conservationists. Teams of hunters and a vast network of traps are set to be sent shortly in an effort to capture thousands of hedgehogs on Uist. The animals are not native to the Hebrides and are considered a threat to the islands' globally important birdlife - because they feast on eggs. Up to 100 hedgehogs a week could be trapped if out foraging for food. Once the creatures have been checked out in a special'rehabilitation center' on the isles, they will be sent off to new homes on the Scottish mainland.

The guitarist reminisced on the performances in Montreal and recalled the late Freddie Mercury's global debut in IMAX from January 18-21. Brian said that while discussing where Queen were in their career when the video was shot, he and fellow members Roger Taylor and John Deacon were marginally angry at director Saul Swimmer's film, because a lot of the shots were specifically focused on Freddie.
