Diane Oxberry (left) began on Radio 1 before becoming a fixture of BBC North West until her death in 2019. Wincey Willis (middle), who appeared on television, became the first national female weather presenter in 1983. Willis, who is best known for her blonde hair, was still a minor celebrity when she took on forecasting and had hosted her own show, Wincey's Pets, in 1982. She appeared on Treasure Hunt as an adjudicator in 1985 before leaving full-time television in 1987. Willis, who is now 75, went on to act in pantomime, wrote three books, and spent years dedicated to wildlife conservation. Sian Lloyd (right), who left her position at ITV in 2014 after 24 years, was the UK's longest-serving female forecaster.

Although some of the familiar stereotypes may have been harmless, meteorologists have laid down the full extent of the situation, including tales of fans being sent sex toys by supporters, being denied access to online fan clubs, and some even being faced with stalkers. Sam Fraser, who has been with BBC South Today since 2012, claims that the constant emphasis on their appearances makes each turns presenters into 'commentators' in an ever-changing beauty pageant,' prompting 'judgement and mockery' from the public.

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau - which translates to Land of my Fathers - has a following in football fans from around the world, with a number naming it the best of the tournament. On the other hand, England supporters are fed up with their traditional song (top-right, players performing it against the United States), which has been branded as "dirge" on social media (right). Some are claiming that the tone of the songs is so stark that it could rouse the Dragons into a rousing appearance, knowing that they will need to win to keep any hopes of qualifying to the last 16 alive. Earlier in the tournament, a Welsh football fan was dubbed "the face of the anthem" after she gave a rousing rendition of the song during her team's match against the United States (left). Dwynwen Morgan, a radio producer from Gwynedd, was seen crying out with tears in her eyes during an ITV video of the game in Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium, belting out Hen Wlad Nhadau, Wales' official national anthem, during the game.
