These breathtaking aerial pictures show the sun setting behind a lake reflecting a line of colourful rowing boats in the stillness of the water. The tranquil moment was captured at the Cotswold Water Park – a collection of more than 150 lakes stretching over 40 square miles and straddling the countryside of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.

In an exclusive Q&A, The London Economic speaks to the acclaimed fiction author Katja Brown about the challenges that young people...

The photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt said: “It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.” It’s a philosophy that Duncan James has always followed. As an Art Director at a variety of London-based advertising agencies, he’s worked with several leading photographers. So, when he spotted a group of Mods outside a local café in 2015 and decided to take a few shots, even though he hadn’t picked up a camera for years, he was able to draw...

With the summer festival season about to get underway, scientists have discovered that one of the best way to preserve your hearing at them is to stay off the booze. A new study reveals that men who don't wear earplugs and take drugs or booze suffer the worst hearing loss outdoors. A study of more than 50 revellers found men were more prone to hearing loss and ringing in the ears, or tinnitus. They tended to spend more time near...

The chubby four-year-old is holding his tragic mother's hand while they all smile and pose wearing silly hats for the hotel photographer. Others show him at the wedding of his cousin Amanda...

Supermarket Sweep presenter Dale Winton looked unwell in the weeks leading up to his death, neighbours said. The 62-year-old moved from his £2.9m Regent's Park apartment earlier this month and was always "very friendly" to neighbours. The much loved presenter drove a Range Rover and Bentley with the personalised number plate "DW".
