Garden Dench...Chelsea queen Judi

DAME Judi Dench has
played two British monarchs
on film and so made a
perfect stand-in for the
Queen yesterday at the
Chelsea Flower Show.
The actress, who
portrayed Queen Victoria
and Elizabeth I in films, was
at the Royal Horticultural
Society’s first autumn
Chelsea show to officially
open the Queen’s Green
Canopy Garden.
Dame Judi, 86, said: “The
By Richard Palmer
work the Queen has done, is
doing, is remarkable, and
what better way to celebrate
than by having a garden
and then for all of
us to take that on
and plant a tree,
which is also doing
something for
climate change.”
The Green Canopy
Garden has 21 trees
and more than 3,500
plants. Other famous faces
attending were Dame
Maggie Smith, Fiona
Bruce, Strictly’s Anton Du
Beke, inset, and Downton
Abbey star Jim Carter.
The Queen stayed at
Balmoral but Princess
Anne and the Earl and
Countess of Wessex
were there yesterday.
The show shifted
from the normal May
slot because of
the pandemic. Florist Judith Blacklock inside a carousel

Philip’s pranks cut the mustard

Picture: Iconic Images/BBC

Twinkle in eye...Duke of Edinburgh
THE Duke of Edinburgh’s love of a
practical joke is fondly recalled by
his grandchildren in a television
tribute tomorrow night.
But Prince Philip’s mischief-
making was said to have often left
the Queen infuriated.
Visitors who noticed curious
yellow stains on the ceilings of the
grand royal residences, palaces and
castles now have an explanation.
­ The Duke of Cambridge’s ­cousins
They are the remains of a trick the
Duke played on his grandchildren
with a tube of mustard.
In interviews for the BBC docu-
mentary originally intended to
mark Philip’s 100th birthday, his

Royal Correspondent
family talk about their love for the
patriarch of the Windsor clan.
Prince William says of family
meals: “Instead of a mustard pot
we had a mustard tube.
“He used to take the lid off and
put it in your hands.”
Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall take
up the story, saying: “He’d get you
to hold it…”
William, 39, adds: “And then he’d
squish your hands together to fire
the mustard into the ceiling.” Zara,
40, reveals: “It went all over
the ceiling.”
Smiling William then confides:
“He used to get in a lot of trouble
from my grandmother for covering
most of the places we had lunch
with mustard on the ceiling.”
Peter, 43, laughs: “I actually
think the marks are still there.” His
sister confirms: “Yes, I think so.”
Philip died in April, two months
short of his 100th birthday.
The TV special also touches on
his love of barbecuing and cookery
shows, especially the Hairy Bikers.
And his grandchildren remember
how he always had time for them at
family dos, where there would
­
often be mayhem when they were
young. But their grandfather would
just sit there with his arms folded
while they raced around.
Peter, who is the Queen and
Philip’s oldest grandchild, said: “He
made time for all of us and
supported all of us and he kept con-
trol of most of us.”
The younger generation also
make it clear that he was the boss
at home while his wife reigned
elsewhere as monarch.

FEARS OVER

COMMENT
DALE VINCE Bare...shelves at a

Eco-entrepreneur in north London
yesterday
WE’RE having another energy
crisis this winter but it won’t be
the last unless we change our
approach. The market won’t just
sort itself out. We need to sort
ourselves out.
The immediate crisis started
with a shortage of electricity,
driven by three things.
Britain’s nuclear fleet is offline
unexpectedly after scheduled
maintenance. Our wind fleet is
suffering from the lowest summer
wind speeds for 60 years. And on
top of that a fire has taken out an
interconnector that we use to
import electricity from Europe. It
really is a perfect storm.
To make up the shortfall we look
to use gas power stations but
there are shortages of gas.

Asia as those economies bounce
out of lockdown. Boris Johnson

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
As households face paying more
for their energy, here are some tips
from GoCompare to help minimise
the cost increases:
1. Turning off lights in rooms
when they are not being used
can save around £14 a year.
2. Lowering the temperature on
a thermostat by one degree could
help save up to £60 annually. If
you schedule your heating, do it to
come on when you are home and if
it is not that cold, turn it off. Turn
off radiators in rooms that are not
being used.
3. Keep doors closed to stop the
dilution of heat across the house.
4. Plug gaps in windows and try to
draught-proof windows and doors,
particularly as the temperature
drops. Warm air can easily escape
through the gaps, wasting energy.
FROM PAGE ONE
“number one” priority will be
preventing households from feel-
ing the impact of the surge in
the price of wholesale natural gas
in Europe.
He said: “Customers, especially
and most particularly vulnerable
customers, must be protected
from price spikes.
“I must stress that protecting
consumers is our number one
primary focus and will shape
our entire approach to this impor-
tant issue.
“I’d like to reassure all mem-
bers, and honourable members
and their constituents, that the
energy price cap – which still
saves 15 million households up to
£100 a year – is staying, isn’t
going anywhere.
“Consumers come first. We
must protect our constituents.”
Mr Kwarteng also hit out at
“alarmist” claims that the country
could be hit by gas supply short-
ages this winter.
He added: “Britain benefits
from having a diverse range of gas
supply sources. We have sufficient
capacity and more than sufficient
capacity to meet demand, and we
do not expect supply emergencies
to occur this winter.
Security
“There is absolutely no ques-
tion of the lights going out, or
people being unable to heat their
homes. There’ll be no three-day
working weeks, or a throwback to
the 1970s. Such thinking is alarm-
ist, unhelpful and completely
misguided.
“While we are not complacent,
we do not expect supply
emergencies this winter. This is a
very important point.
“This is not a question of secu-
rity of supply. The UK gas system
has delivered securely to date and
is expected to continue to func-
tion effectively, with a diverse
range of supply sources and
sufficient delivery capacity to
more than meet demand.”
Amid the growing crisis, Mr
Kwarteng held emergency talks
with energy firms and industry
watchdog Ofgem yesterday.
Industry chiefs pressed for a
taxpayer-funded bailout to stop
more firms going bust following
four small energy suppliers
ceasing to trade in recent
weeks as the crisis
intensified.
Mr Kwarteng also
warned that more gas
suppliers may go out
of business. But he
added: “It is
not unusual
for smaller
energy
suppliers to exit the market –
particularly, I may add, when
wholesale global prices are rising.
“The sector has seen regular
entry and exit over the last five to
10 years, that is the feature of a
highly competitive market.
“The current global situation
may see more suppliers than usual
exiting the market, but this is not
something that should be cause
for alarm or panic.
“We have clear processes in
place to make sure all customers
are supplied with energy.
“When an energy supplier
typically fails, Ofgem
appoints another supplier
to take on serving the
customers and there is
no interruption to

right read Professor Positivity.
BEFORE any potential restrictions
are even considered for this winter,
those taking the decisions have to
widen their focus and properly take
into the account the vast harms that
these policies cause.
One tragic area that has not
received the attention it needs or
deserves is the area of children’s
mental health.
The number of youngsters
attending A&E with serious mental
health issues has skyrocketed.
Record amounts of anti-depressants
are being prescribed and waiting
lists are ballooning.
Whatever your views on the
restrictions, there is no argument
that children have suffered
enormously, mainly for a virus which
they are largely unaffected by.
Struggling
Mental health charities have
reported children self-harming is
becoming more and more common,
with suicidal thoughts occurring
more regularly. It is devastating.
Was any of this properly discussed
at the top of Government? I’m yet to
hear a senior politician acknowledge
the mental-health pandemic. We’re
just fed the usual lines about “saving
lives” and “protecting the NHS”.
This is a serious issue. Thankfully
the majority of children will have
brushed off the effects of lockdowns.
However, there is clearly a sizeable
minority that is struggling. Once the
damage is done, without being
properly dealt with, it can worsen.
The power of our mental health is
underestimated, often to our peril.
I’ve long believed in the importance
of a healthy mind, whether for a
nine-year-old or a 90-year-old.
It’s our responsibility to take care
of the health of children, both
physical and mental. Locking them
up for months and months was a
disaster, especially for their young
minds. It can’t happen again.

BORIS Johnson has rebuked world
leaders over their lacklustre efforts to
tackle the climate crisis.
The Prime Minister told them he is
growing “increasingly frustrated” that
their commitments are “nowhere near
enough” – after singling out Brazil, Japan,
Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Speaking at the United Nations in New
York, he said the gap between what
industrialised nations have promised and
what they are delivering remains “vast”.
While he urged them to redouble their
efforts to hit a financing pledge, he said
there is only a “six out of 10” chance of
achieving it before the COP26 summit.
But Joe Biden’s climate envoy, John
Kerry, below, raised hopes the target will
be met, hinting the US President may
announce more money.
In his speech, Mr Johnson said,
“we all agree that something must
be done”, before laying into various
under-performing nations.
“It is the biggest economies that
are causing the problem, while the
smallest suffer the worst
consequences,” he said.
“Too many major
economies are lagging too
far behind.”
He issued a stark
warning over what would
happen if they do not
contribute to the

help developing nations transform their
climate change response and defences.
“When the summit ends, when most of
the world has committed to decisive,
game-changing action, it will be clear to
all which of us has lacked the courage to
step up,” he added.
“The world will see, and your people
will remember, and history will judge.
“So you can look away, you can do the
minimum, you can hope that if you feed
the crocodile enough it will devour you

“You can make the choices that will
make your country stronger and your
people richer. You can make the
promises we need and follow
through with the action that will
give them form. And together we
can make COP26 the success the
world needs it to be.”
Asked if Mr Biden will

Kerry said: “Stay tuned

Government priority is
helping the vulnerable
T
he energy crisis has brought up painful
memories of the 1970s and the three-
day week. With some supermarket
shelves stripped and the spectre of high
fuel bills as the colder weather begins,
many will despair, saying that’s all we need.
Let’s try not to be too fearful. There may
well be some shortages, but much of this
crisis is due to sudden global demand
following the pandemic and is likely to
calm down when the market settles down.
Yesterday, business secretary Kwasi
Kwarteng confidently reassured Parliament
that there was “no question of the lights
going out” this winter and that
householders would be protected from
rising gas prices by the Energy Price Cap.
Sadly, it’s likely some energy companies
will go to the wall but the principle of
protecting consumers first has to be correct.
That said, it remains vital that the
Government helps low-income families and
vulnerable pensioners facing fuel poverty.
After a gruelling two years, when many
have lost their incomes and inflation takes
its toll on household finances, we should be
very careful that we don’t become a
country whose citizens have to choose
between heating and eating.
So let’s support schemes like the Warm
Homes Discount and ensure that the
neediest are protected – and then get on
with building Britain’s energy security so
we can avoid situations like this in future.
Christmas on the cards
A
fter a tense Christmas last year, when
a reprieve led to the third lockdown in
early January, some are getting anxious
about this season’s celebrations.
Hold fast. As the Prime Minister said,
Covid won’t cancel Christmas. This is
largely due to the vaccination programme,
which was in its infancy last Christmas, and
which has now seen 48.5million people in
the country with at least one jab.
Yesterday Boris Johnson insisted that the
Government’s Winter Covid plan remained
watertight, and this week booster jabs are
starting to be rolled out to key workers, the
elderly and the vulnerable.
The Government has kept measures in
reserve, including vaccine passports and
compulsory masks, as contingencies against
a further flare-up. So we can with some
confidence expect this Christmas season to
be jollier than the last.
Tiers of joy for Bake Off
I
t’s cake weather again, and a perfect
time to herald the latest run of Channel
4’s Great British Bake Off. This iconic
show will bring back favourite judges Paul
Hollywood and Prue Leith and a bevy of
new bakers, including contestant Chigs who
only started baking in lockdown.
As autumn begins to bite, bringing a
sweet tooth with it, one could hardly hope
for a better boost to morale.
Crisis shows it’s
vital to be energy
self-sufficient
F
EW things can sink a
regime so quickly as the
impression of its leaders
drifting out of touch
with the basic realities of
life for ordinary people.
And when everyday folk are
facing a particular problem –
such as the current crisis with
soaring domestic energy costs –
the impression does not even
have to be based on fact for
regime change to ensue.
After all, most historians
agree that Marie Antoinette did
not really say “let them eat
cake” when told about bread
shortages afflicting the poor.
But she still lost her head. More
recently, neither did Labour PM
James Callaghan utter the com-
placent phrase “crisis, what cri-
sis?” when asked what he
intended to do about chaos dur-
ing the so-called Winter of
Discontent of 1978-9.
What he actually said was: “I
don’t think other people in the
world would share the view that
there is mounting chaos.” But
the fact that he was looking
suntanned and calm when he
said it, having just returned to a
freezing Britain from a confer-
ence in the Caribbean, did him
no favours and a newspaper had
a field day at his expense.
W
hat then are we to
make of Boris
Johnson talking
about tackling global climate
change at the United Nations in
New York while gas bills are
going through the roof and
energy suppliers are going bust
back home?
With more windy rhetoric
likely to ensue at the COP26
climate conference in Glasgow
later in the autumn, just as a
limited relaxation in the domes-
tic energy price cap will see bills
rise by up to 12 per cent, all the
ingredients are in place for a
narrative suggesting that the
PM and his Cabinet are increas-
ingly disconnected from the
British public.
So Johnson needs to handle
the interlinked issues of energy
affordability and combating
climate change with great care.

POWER SUPPLY: Bringing more wind, wave and solar resources online would keep UK secure
Patrick O’Flynn
Political commentator
The immediate challenge is to
secure sufficient gas supplies to
keep Britain warm this autumn
and winter after a quadrupling
of wholesale gas prices over the
past 18 months or so, including
an increase of 70 per cent in the
last six weeks alone.
As small suppliers go bust,
bigger ones are expected by the
regulator Ofgem to take over
obligations to domestic custom-
ers. But given that the cost of
supply is about to surge above
the level of the price cap, that
means taking on loss-making
contracts with households.
No wonder some energy
experts are calling for the price
cap to be abolished altogether,
allowing companies to pass on
massive cost increases direct to
families. From an economist’s
perspective that might solve the
problem by bringing supply and
demand into equilibrium but
from a politician’s perspective it
would be disastrous, causing
‘The immediate challenge is to
keep Britain warm this winter’
the living standards of millions
of households to crash and
leaving others to shiver, with
associated problems leading to
empty shelves in supermarkets.
Emergency support may be
needed and some form of state
aid appears inevitable – perhaps
via interest-free loans to com-
panies obliged to step in where
others have failed. The Prime
Minister did not seek to deny
this crisis yesterday and cited
the global economy expanding
after the Covid pandemic as the
main cause of energy shortages.
But he also said that he
expected the problems to be
temporary and for global pro-
ducers to fix them “very
swiftly” by increasing supply.
The trouble with this is that
energy markets can be tam-
pered with for political reasons
as well as commercial ones.
Who is to say for sure that
France – currently in the mother
of all tempers over the Aukus

defence deal – will not with-
draw its experts from assisting
the UK in building a new gener-
ation of nuclear power plants?
This points to the vital impor-
tance of aiming for national
self-sufficiency in energy so we
cannot be held to ransom.
Pressing on with a new nuclear
capability and taking another
look at the viability of fracking
should also be on Mr Johnson’s
agenda.
B
ut so too should fur-
ther rapid expansion of
the UK renewables sec-
tor. There is a strong argument
that the present gas crisis under-
lines the importance of green
energy sources.
Bringing more wind, wave
and solar power on stream is
both the patriotic and a sensible
thing to do. These are among
the good reasons why the Daily
Express began its Green Britain
campaign earlier this year.
If Johnson gets this right
then he can use the current cri-
sis to build further public sup-
port for his green agenda. But if
he gives the impression of
thinking that sorting out winter
gas supplies is beneath his pay
grade amid all the talk of saving
the planet then he will soon
have another think coming.

Heartbreak of

Receiving the coveted best

bravura performance as Her
Majesty in The Crown, Olivia

A veteran winner of awards,

celebrated without her dad Keith
to witness her glory.
At 47 and on a public podium,
seasoned speech-maker Olivia
sobbed: “I lost my daddy during
Covid and he would have loved
all of this.”
Just like the heart-rending
phrase: “Daddy! My Daddy!”

BRITISH TRIUMPH AT THE EMMYS
CROWNED!
*RQJVJDORUHIRU1HWIOL[V5R\DOGUDPD
THE Crown reigned supreme
at the Emmys as British talent
dominated US television’s
prized awards.
More than half of the
gongs went to UK stars, who
won 14 of the 27 prestigious
trophies.
Hollywood bowed to the
Netflix hit which scooped
seven awards including
Outstanding Drama
Series at the 73rd
Primetime Emmys in
Los Angeles.
Olivia Colman, who
played Queen Elizabeth,
landed Lead Actress in a Drama
Series, while Josh O’Connor won
Lead Actor for his Prince Charles.
There were Supporting Actor
nods for Gillian Anderson, for
her portrayal of Margaret
Thatcher, and Tobias Menzies,
who was Prince Philip.
Olivia, 47, said: “What a
lovely end to the most extraordi-
nary journey with this lovely
family. I loved every second.”
One of the most popular wins
was for Michaela Coel, the British
actress, writer and director, who
won Outstanding Writing for a
Limited Series for sexual consent
drama I May Destroy You.
Michaela, 33, said: “I
dedicate this story to every
single survivor of sexual
assault.” She also spurred
on aspiring writers, telling
them: “Write the tale that

Man quizzed over
sleepover killings
THE dad of two children discovered
dead along with their mum and a
school friend wept yesterday as he
said he’d been left “heartbroken”.
Police found four bodies at 7.25am
on Sunday – mum Terri Harris, her
children John Paul Bennett, 13, and
Lacey Bennett, 11, and Lacey’s
friend Connie Gent, also 11.
Connie, from Sheffield, had been
staying over for a sleepover.
A 31-year-old man was last night
still being questioned on suspicion of
murder, with detectives not looking
for anyone else.
Yesterday John and Lacey’s doting
dad Jason Bennett collapsed in tears
as he lay flowers outside their semi-
detached house in Killamarsh,
Derbyshire. He said: “I can’t believe
I’ll never see them again.
“I just want to hug them and kiss
them. I’m heartbroken. Shattered.

“I just want to kiss my babies.”
Afterwards he wrote on Facebook:
“Life will never be the same. My
angels. Won’t be long till I’m touching
your cheeks, holding you close and
kissing your beautiful faces.
“Only you two can fix me.”
He also posted videos of his son and
daughter playing. In one where a

tragic news.
Debbie said: “He had to drive home

“Terri was a beautiful and wonder-
ful mother. Lacey’s best friend was
over for a sleepover. Her parents have
got to be devastated.”
Derbyshire Police said they were
called to the house over concerns
about the occupants’ welfare and
found the tragic scene.
One neighbour said the family had
only lived in the street for five or
six months.
North East Derbyshire MP Lee
Rowley offered his condolences fol-
lowing the “terrible and hugely
tragic” incident.
The three children were all pupils at
nearby Outwood Academy City,
which closed yesterday for mourning.
The school said: “A tragic incident
has taken place in the community
involving three of our students.
“We will however be open to any
students who need our support.”
Last night a blue police tent
remained in the front garden of the
victims’ house as forensic officers con-
tinued their searches.
Derbyshire Police said they’d had
no previous contact with anyone
involved. They added: “We believe the
incident to be isolated, and we are not
looking for anyone else.”
Det Chief Insp Rob Routledge said:
“We would really like to hear
from anyone who saw or heard any-
thing suspicious.”

Justice quest…Blessing
Sea shore
death still
a riddle a
year later
By Mark Reynolds
The mother of a woman
mysteriously found dead
on a beach is still
searching for answers a
year later.
Blessing Olusegun’s
body was discovered on
September 18, 2020 at
Bexhill in East Sussex.
The business student,
21, was alone with
nothing but her iPhone
and slippers nearby.
A post-mortem
revealed she drowned.
But Blessing’s family
claim there has never
been a full investigation.
Campaigners say
Sussex Police failed in
their duty after the
tragedy was deemed
non-suspicious.
Her mum Esther Abe,
from London, visited the
scene on the anniversary
Esther with Blessing
and said: “We maintain
that the circumstances of
her death were
suspicious and should
have been treated as
such by the police.
“We need to
determine what
happened to Blessing
and ensure that she
gets the justice that
she deserves.”
On Saturday the
campaigners retraced the
student’s final steps in
Bexhill, where she had
been on placement.
A date for the full
inquest has not been set.
Detective Inspector
Pippa Nicklin appealed
for new information,
saying: “Although there
continues to be no
evidence of crime, we
have been keeping an
open mind and are still
carefully and fully
examining all the
circumstances leading up
to Blessing’s death.
“This remains an open
and active investigation
– it has never closed.”

said: “The use of the phrase bird was
a misplaced use of irony which inad-

“It was very foolish to assume

He said Ms Lacatus would have

her boss’s sexist language out of fear
it would damage her career.
She also won her claim that

following his death aged 79, I’m reminded
the Boycie actor was a proud patron of the

His decision to champion hedgehogs
instead of badgers once caused a prickly
disagreement with Queen guitarist and
badger enthusiast Brian May. “We almost
came to a stand-off,” John revealed.
Claiming he hastily praised the rocker’s
famous Golden Jubilee performance,
Challis added: “Luckily, I quickly changed
tack. ‘By the way, great piece of guitar

Our lives
make us
snappy...
By Mustafa Mirreh
TWO in five of us say
we are increasingly
impatient with modern
life – and the majority
blame smartphones.
Our top gripe is still
being put on hold,
followed by people who
stand too close, turn up
late or walk slowly.
But even waiting for
a film to start at the
cinema, dreaming up a
gift or ordering food at a
restaurant riles some.
Others polled said
they were irritated by
having to go on dates to
find the right partner or
waiting for a delivery.
Four in 10 of those
asked by HSBC said they
would pay more to get
the things they want
sooner. But a desire for
instant gratification puts
one in five off investing
their money.
Four in 10 of the
under-35s quizzed said
they had never thought
about it – despite saving
an average £1,279 over
the last year.
HSBC’s tips for getting
started include setting a

Beetroot may also be better at

Exeter University found that people
could exercise for 16 per cent longer
after drinking beetroot juice.
BLACKBERRIES
According to an “antioxidant food
database” compiled by educational
establishments including The
University of Oslo, blackberries
contain among the highest anti-
oxidants of all berries. That means
they’re extra efficient at eliminating
free radicals in the body, which
contribute to most chronic diseases.
PLUMS
As well as keeping you regular,
prunes are packed with antioxidants.
In fact, researchers at Tufts
University, Boston, found that prunes
were better than any other fruits at
soaking up the free radicals in the
body, which can lead to cancer, heart
disease – and even wrinkles.
They may even help with osteopo-
rosis. An Oklahoma State University
study found that post-menopausal
women who ate around 10 prunes a
day showed signs of improved bone
mineral density. Prunes contain
potassium and boron, thought to
help in bone formation.

Not only was Kwoklyn told that he
would need surgery, but he was also
informed that he would have to lose
five stone before doctors could
proceed. In the meantime, he is
battling almost constant pain.
“When I’m appearing on television
on Steph’s Packed Lunch, I can’t stand
for the whole show because of the
pain, so I have to have a stool behind
the kitchen,” he says. “I can’t walk more

any more. I can’t swim or ride my bike.
That’s how debilitating the pain is.”
The chef, who presents Kwoklyn’s
Chinese Takeaway Kitchen on
Amazon Prime, first noticed a problem
at the start of the year when he
developed a pain in his groin. His
doctor advised him to rest,
but by March things hadn’t
improved so he tried

see a chiropractor.

KWOKLYN W AN It occurs when the cartilage that

is bone rubbing on bone when the

several things are thought to increase
the risk, including joint injuries, age,
family history and obesity.

Kwoklyn, who is the author of

Kwoklyn is 5ft 11in and weighed
24 stone and had a BMI of 49. A
healthy BMI is 25 or under.
His consultant has told him to
reduce his BMI to 40 before surgery.
After two weeks of dieting, Kwoklyn

Dr Rosemary Leonard
Q I’ve been feeling tired recently,
and blood tests done by my GP
have shown my iron levels are low.
This didn’t surprise me as my
periods are a bit heavy and, although
I’m not a vegetarian, I don’t like
red meat.
My doctor advised me to buy iron
tablets, but the leaflet that came with
them had a warning about taking
them with vitamin C.
I usually have orange juice for
breakfast, so should I stop this? And
can I expect any side effects?
A Absorption of iron from the gut
into the bloodstream is boosted
by vitamin C, so if you were taking
very high doses, this could potentially
cause problems. However, for those
on a standard dose, it is a good idea
to take it with a glass of orange juice.
Absorption of iron is reduced by
food, tea and milk, so these should be
avoided one hour before and after
taking the supplement.
Iron supplements can commonly
cause side effects with the digestive
system, including nausea, tummy
ache and either diarrhoea or
constipation. These usually improve
as your body gets used to them, but if
you do have troublesome side effects,
reduce the dose you are taking for a
few days.
Iron tablets can also make your
stools black and sticky, and though
this can look alarming, it is nothing
to worry about.
Heavy periods can often lead to
iron deficiency in women, especially
in those who eat very little red meat
(which is the main dietary source of
iron) so it would be a good idea to
talk to your GP about why this is
happening and any possible
treatments.
You should have a repeat blood test
in a couple of months to check that
your iron levels are back up to
normal. Try to boost the iron in your
diet with pulses such as red kidney
beans and chickpeas, nuts and dried
apricots.
Despite what you may have been
told by the cartoon character Popeye,
spinach is not particularly rich in
iron. It also contains oxalic acid,
which actually stops iron being
absorbed by the body.
Q I’m 49 and started on HRT a
couple of years ago, using
oestrogen patches with progesterone
pills for two weeks each month.
After a year, I switched to taking a
lower dose of progesterone each day,
but suddenly last month my breasts
felt tender, and then I had a bleed,
which hasn’t happened before.
What should I do?

LIFESTYLE IS KEY IN FIGHTING MIGRAINES
Chronic migraine, which is defined as 15 or
more headache days and at least eight
migraine days per month, affects an
estimated 900,000 adults and can have a
tremendous impact on quality of life.
Dr Katy Munro, GP and headache
specialist at the National Migraine
Centre, says that making the right
choices about diet and sleep can be key
to reducing their effect.
“When it comes to coping with migraines,
lifestyle is really important and often

as well. This is what I suspect has
happened in your case. Your ovaries
have had an active blip, producing
oestrogen, which has led to your
breasts feeling tender and also a
thickening in the lining of your
womb, which led to the bleed.
This may just be a one-off, but if it
people underestimate that. The key
is routine.
“You should eat regularly – choosing
low-GI, slow energy release foods rather
than carbohydrate-rich items – every three
to four hours and have a bedtime snack.
“It’s important to limit caffeine and stay
well hydrated. There is also some evidence
that having a diet high in Omega 3 fatty
acids – as in oily fish, nuts and seeds – can
be helpful in preventing migraine and
calming the brain down.”
happens again, you should speak to
your GP as it may be better for you to
switch back to a cyclical progester-
one regime, which would hopefully
stop erratic bleeds.
Q I’m 75 and have myelodysplasia,
which means I have a low number
of white blood cells and am at risk of
infections. I’ve now had both covid
jabs and am taking care to avoid
crowded places, so I’m not as anxious
as I was about that.
I do worry, however, about having a
nasty bout of shingles, which I’m
aware is more likely to happen to me,
but I’ve been told that I can’t have the
shingles vaccine. Is there anything I
can do to protect myself?
A Shingles is caused by
reactivation of the chicken pox
virus (herpes zoster) within your
body. After you have chickenpox,
virus particles lie dormant in the
nerves close to the spine and, if they
become active, they multiply and
travel down the nerve to the skin
causing the characteristic blisters,
often with pain as well.
This is more likely to happen if
you have a weakened immune
system, which is why shingles is
more common in people having
chemotherapy and also those
with conditions like yours, which
affect the formation of white
blood cells.
The current shingles vaccine,
Zostavax, can boost immunity to
herpes zoster. However, it contains
altered live virus particles which
unfortunately can have the opposite
effect in those with weakened
immune systems, and actually trigger
a bout of shingles.
The good news is that from this
month a second type of shingles
vaccine, Shingrix, has become
available and it does not contain live
virus particles.
This means it is suitable for
people like you, who are immuno-
compromised.
It will be available, like Zostavax, to
everyone between the ages of 70 and
80 but, unlike Zostavax, two doses are
required, given two months apart.
It is available from your GP, but
they may need to order it in for you,
so please do make sure you contact
them as soon as possible.
Remember also that you should
have a flu vaccine as soon as your
surgery has them in stock.

Make sure you get the right sort of sleep
too. “Keep a regular sleep routine. Go to
bed and wake up at the same time. People
who have broken sleep or have lie-ins often
develop migraines more easily,” Dr Munro
says. “Taking supplements can also be
helpful – research suggests magnesium,
vitamin B2 and co-enzyme Q10 can help
migraine sufferers. There is also evidence
that suggests a vitamin D deficiency can
make your episodic migraine transform
more easily into chronic migraine.”

Innovative new pillow transforms lives

A father’s love and devotion leads to incredible
new patented pillow
A NEAR tragedy has led to an amazing new development
in sleep technology. When Georgia Miles was
recovering from a life-threatening accident, her father
Alexander looked everywhere for a pillow that would
This provides extra comfort and support that lasts through
the night and ensures that you get the most benefit from an
undisturbed sleep.

keep her comfortable throughout the night.

After purchasing dozens of different types and finding none
that worked, Alex, a renowned furniture and domestic product
designer, decided to engineer his own.
UNIQUE BREAKTHROUGH
He made a breakthrough when he realised that all pillows
spread out and flatten down as the weight of the head rests on
them. This flattening progresses through the night, leaving
the head and neck poorly supported – and sleep interrupted.
This is why many people find themselves half awake and ‘pillow-
punching’ in the middle of the night, desperately trying to get
comfortable.
EXTRA COMFORT AND SUPPORT
The innovative model that Alex designed has internal ties that
hold the filling in place, and pull the pillow in and up to cradle
the head and neck.
“ I can honestly say that your
pillow has made the world of
difference… and fully endorse
your pillow as being quite unique “
in its ability to maintain
support throughout the night.
Dr Deane Halfpenny

Made in the UK, the Gx Pillow comes in a choice of two levels
LIFE CHANGING of support: Medium-Soft , which most people seem to prefer, or
Medium-Firm for those who like a little more resistance. Alex’s
Actor Rula Lenska loved the Gx pillow so much that she contacted desperate desire to help his daughter Georgia has led to a pillow
Gx to say exactly that. She said that ‘she was so surprised and that has also transformed the lives of thousands of people. So
delighted that something advertised as life changing could turn if you have spent a lifetime looking for the perfect pillow, your
out to be exactly as described.’ Having suffered from chronic neck search may well be over!
and back pain she added that ‘the pillow made a big difference and
was positively magical for my neck.’ INFORMATION: gxpillows/0800 316 2689

schoolgirl who didn’t know what
she was doing... I don’t think so. She

As our prisons are overcrowded
why not place her under house

it – rather than tread water.
“You could end up drowning
anyway. You could get caught in a
current and drown. Might as well jump

Usyk, 34, has earned his shot by
beating Derek Chisora to become the
WBO’s mandatory challenger.
Although his only other win at
heavyweight was against Chazz
Witherspoon, the Ukrainian is hugely
experienced and had 350 amateur
fights – including winning 2012
Olympic gold at heavyweight – before
turning pro at 26.
He won his first world title
at cruiserweight after just 10
fights and became the undisputed
champion in his 15th.
But Joshua added: “I’m the
heavyweight champion of
the world. I don’t play
games. I’m here to win.”
Usyk will be Joshua’s
second fight since winning
back his world crowns
from Andy Ruiz Jr in
December 2019 and he says
he could continue fighting until
he is 40.
“I turn 32 in October so I’ve
still got some good years
ahead of me,” he said.

YOU GIFT:
England and
Pakistan at
last year’s
third Test
By Dean Wilson
IF ENGLAND cricket chiefs
were looking for the perfect gift
to thank Pakistan for helping to
‘keep the lights on’ by visiting
last summer, a cancelled tour
was not it.
But once New Zealand pulled
out of their tour to Pakistan due
to a specific yet undisclosed
security threat, it would have
been remarkable had the ECB
remained committed to an extra
trip it had arranged in the
afterglow of Pakistan’s visit at
the peak of the pandemic.
The ECB board had never
formally agreed to the tour,
which made it rather more
straightforward to call it off.
Players in both men’s and
women’s teams understandably
felt uneasy about travelling to an
unfamiliar region that, due to
security concerns, none had
played in before.
The ECB could have agreed to
the tour and offered players the
chance to opt out but, fearing
most would have done so, it
would have looked like some
players were more expendable
pakistan chief laments
‘harsh lesson’ learnED
than others in such a situation.
The ECB board said: “The
mental and physical well-being
of our players and support staff
remains our highest priority.
“We know there are
increasing concerns about
travelling to the region and
believe that going ahead will
add further pressure to a playing
group who have already coped
with a long period in restricted
Covid environments.
“We understand that this
decision will be a significant
disappointment to the PCB.
Their support of English
and Welsh cricket over
the last two summers
has been a huge
demonstration of
friendship.”
It is clear that
friendship has now
been soured. PCB

Raja said: “Whatever

By Neil McLeman
at Whistling Straits
SHANE LOWRY wants to join
the Irish legends of the Ryder
Cup this week by winning the
trophy for his good friend
Padraig Harrington – and
enjoying “the craic”.
The 2019 Open champion first
sampled the spirit of the event as
a teenage fan at the K Club.
Now, 15 years later, Lowry has
been handed a wild card for
Whistling Straits – and the
chance to write his name into
sporting history.
“I feel there is something
about the Ryder Cup and the
Irish that goes hand in hand,”
he said.
“Going back to Christy
O’Connor Jr, Eamonn Darcy,
Philip Walton, Paul McGinley,
Paddy [Harrington], Darren
Clarke and Rory McIlroy now.
“Rory’s been part of the
European team for 10 years and,
hopefully, I can add to that this
year and be one of those.
“A lot of Irish players have
holed winning putts and stuff.
“I just hope I can deliver a few
points and be myself, and enjoy
the whole experience while
winning the Ryder Cup – that’s
the main goal.”
Harrington said beside the
18th green at Royal Portrush in
2019 that he wanted the Major
winner in his team.
But the 34-year-old from
County Offaly, who possesses

automatic places in the final
qualifying event – the BMW

Harrington claimed that their
close friendship “made it
harder” to select his
fellow Irishman.
Lowry said: “It’s Let’s do it

that is how I have been thinking.
I don’t want to be there just
to say I’ve played in the Ryder
Cup. I want to go and I want to
make it count.”
Lowry, who could form a
strong partnership with Olympic
team-mate McIlroy in the
foursomes and fourballs, will be
looking for some Irish fun as well
as a few points.
“I feel like I’ll be good in
the team room,” said the son
of famous Gaelic footballer
Brendan Lowry.
“I feel like I get on well with
everyone. I will be up for the
craic.”
Lowry, who won the Irish
Open as an amateur in 2009
on his maiden European Tour
appearance, was in
a boisterous crowd
when the hosts won
at the K Club in
County Kildare three
years earlier.
“I went
experienced
and
the
whole thing and it
was incredible,” he
recalled.
“It’s bigger now than it was
then, too. So, I’m so excited to
see the grandstands, the first tee
and all that jazz.
“It was an incredible
experience and if you had asked
me walking into the course that
day if I’d ever be competing in
one, I’d have laughed.
“I am going to create some
good memories this week and I
am extremely excited about it.”
SILKY
TOUCH:
Lowry is
renowned
for his
brilliant
short
game
which Rory McIlroy almost missed his
tee-time and a succession of Americans
collapsed in their bid to win back the trophy.
Martin Kaymer secured the point to clinch
overall victory – against this year’s USA
captain Steve Stricker – as Europe won eight
of the singles matches. Tiger Woods halved
the final encounter with Francesco Molinari,
who sealed Europe’s win. Justin Rose, who
won his last two holes to defeat Phil
Mickelson, touched the Seve silhouette logo
on his kit amid the celebrations.

IN BAD Nick Faldo played only two
matches at The Belfry in
NICK… 1985 – and lost them both
Winning is all
that it’s about
I Tony JACKLIN
t was at this point of a Ryder
Cup week that I made sure my
antenna was up and I had my
wits about me.
With my players getting down to
preparing for the matches, I needed
to know, as captain, who was feeling
and playing well and who was not.
The week was all about winning
for me, nothing else, and it was
about forging my team into a strong
fighting unit with no egos. The
chemistry between individuals was
critical and I needed to find the right
balance in order to work out my
pairings for the foursomes and
fourballs on the opening two days.
I remember at The Belfry in
1985 that Nick Faldo, one of
our greatest-ever players,
was out of form. He was
going through a divorce so it
was a difficult period.
I always tried to take the
heat off my players in the
pressure-cooker
environment of the
Ryder Cup. I gave them all
one-to-one time and I took
Nick to one side and said, “What do
you think, then? This is not about me
and it’s not about you. It’s about us
as a team and what you think is best
for us as a group.”
Nick played in only two sessions
that week and lost both times but he
still partied after our historic win
with the rest of us at the end.
As I explain in my new book,
‘Tony Jacklin: My Ryder Cup
Journey’, I had a similar
situation with the great
Bernhard Langer four years
later. He told me: “I don’t
feel 100 percent and if
anybody else on the team
feels good about their
game, you should give
them a chance and
I can go to the
practice range
and try to find
what I’m
missing.”
I replied:
“Look, you’re
one of my
champions
and I cannot
imagine
leaving you
out, no matter
how you’re
playing.” I think
I always had
57
The golf legend writes for Express Sport
Bernhard’s trust and he said: “OK,
I’ll go out there and do my best.”
I took different approaches to
Faldo and Langer and it was about
dealing with them as individuals.
The story goes that I told
Gordon Brand Sr on the flight over
to Florida for the 1983 matches that
he would take no part in the event
until the final-day singles.
I don’t recall saying that but I
would put my hand on my heart and
say there’s no way I would
guarantee anyone they would
play before the Sunday. It’s
too big a promise.
You have to go with your
gut feelings and if your guys
are kicking ass in the
fourballs or foursomes,
you’ve got to stay with those
players.
Win, win, win, that’s all I
wanted to do, and if it meant
my linchpins – guys like Langer,
Seve Ballesteros, Jose Maria
Olazabal – played all five sessions,
then they played all five sessions.
Those guys were Major winners
and if you have proven you have
the mental fortitude to withstand
that sort of pressure, you can take
the special demands of the Ryder
Cup too.
They are all actors in an arena;
essentially they are all show-offs.
Golf is what they do best and
they want to show everyone
around the world that they are
better than anyone else.
Some people cower in those
high-pressure moments, they
don’t want that kind of
exposure. Champions rise to
the occasion and mine
did so time and time
again.
