A simple embrace with Princess Diana sent James Whetton's picture across the world... now 24 years on we track down the baby that made headlines. Today he speaks for the first time about how he'll never forget her care as he fought for his life.

'I don't understand why any adult would think this is an acceptable way to behave.' Well said, Sinead and Liam Soffe. It's a true miracle that Elizabeth survived the fire in which she was scarred so badly. It is bizarre that some people are so lacking in empathy and humanity.

Please read - and retweet - these powerful words from my sister Sinead and her husband about their daughter.

We wrote this to explain the battles that Elizabeth has to fight against judgement and ignorance. We'd really appreciate if you would read and share it with as many people as possible as we feel it is a really important message. dropbox.com/s/xxiv8ns8ym6o…

I’d be hard pushed to think of a warmer or more friendly man than the late Graeme Woods. He was, quite simply, a lovely bloke - and the huge numbers at his funeral in Castleknock were testament to how well liked he was. RIP Graeme @DameTavern

Following the TRB’s terrific gig in Dublin recently, I am beyond excited at the prospect of seeing @freshnet and co again next Friday at @TheBullingdon in Oxford. Tom Robbo will always be a towering figure in the history of popular music #TomRobinsonBand #PowerInTheDarkness


Magnificent TRB gig in Dublin tonight. Seen many a Tom Robbo show over the years, but this was up there with the solo gig he did at the same venue in March 1991 in advance of the Birmingham Six’s release. A great performer and a gentleman. @freshnet @gladtobegay

Film about Irish made stunningly beautiful fairy palace by #hicks&co. It was displayed in north #wexford. Lovely to show children's drawings & include the memories of those who saw it, heard stories from my Dad about this so was always curious about it. It is now in Denmark.

Funding under the EYCH Community grant funding #EuropeForCulture #MakeAConnection Titania's Palace is an innovative short film that explores the collective memory of a unique event in the heritage of this north Wexford community. youtu.be/dBuJd8GOoaE
