Lovely afternoon filming with the pupils at Byers Green Primary School in County Durham, as they prepare to transform their local bus stop with artwork. Great fun and even left with a portrait! Thanks to artist Jackie, the pupils and the school staff for the warm welcome 😀

Beautiful day to visit one of Stockton's most famous sons, John Walker (chemist) buried in Norton. Walker invented the friction match (1826) and revolutionised how people made fire. Instant fire whenever you needed it was a real game changer 🔥

'Poor people are getting poorer, the elites are getting richer'... The battles of early trade unionist Thomas Hepburn are still being fought today. This is why the Durham Miners' Association and comrades gather every year to remember Thomas Hepburn at St Mary's Church in Heworth, Gateshead.

An honour to join the Durham Miners' Association at St Mary's, Heworth over the weekend at their annual service paying respect to the first miners' union leader Thomas Hepburn. By remembering those who fought for rights, decency and fair pay in the past, we can take courage for the future.
