Riding high on the ocean under a magnificent billowing cloud of canvas, the Gucci family's classic yacht Creole cuts a dash. The display is the work of the world's oldest sailmaker, Ratsey & Lapthorn, which dates back to 1790.

EXCLUSIVE: From Yorkshire (left) and London (bottom right) to Wales (top right), where a national 20mph speed limit was imposed last month, hard-working drivers are fighting with laws requiring them to change from A to B.

Some have questioned how the limit will be enforced, while others have asked if drivers looking for a faster route to their destination have turned side-streets into 'rat-runs', potentially increasing the chance of accidents.

Matthew Robinson, a 17-year-old pupil who was discovered half naked in a layby, has formed a National Lottery funded service group for fellow sex offenders and convicts. Eppie Sprung (top and inset), now 37, was given £7,530 to open the website for her campaign, where she plans to encourage offenders in Scotland to "share their experiences" and "navigate discrimination." Revealing how her life has been impacted after being convicted of being a sex offender, Sprung wrote in her blog: 'Hi! I'm Eppie. Mum, wife, daughter, sibling, acquaintance, volunteer, company founder, and sex offender. That's not something that's comfortable to write and it's certainly not something that's comfortable to live with! But here we are. A long time ago, I made a string of bad decisions that harmed a lot of people, and it culminated in me living with the title "sex offender" for the remainder of my life.'

The waiting lists for routine operations have risen to an all-time high, and the junior doctors' strike, followed by a two-day walkout by consultants, will almost certainly extend those waiting lists. With hospitals and GP practices creaking under the pressure of ever-increasing demand, it's important that we keep in good shape and avoid, if possible, needing the health care. For a new radio series appropriately named Stay Young, I've been researching the latest scientific evidence on how to keep our body - and brain - healthy and youthful. Below is a sneak peek at our findings...
