Their wedding marked 5,000 humanist marriages in Northern Ireland since we successfully campaigned for legal recognition in 2018.

A beautiful milestone demonstrating just how popular legally recognised humanist marriages are. Now for England and Wales!

📆 It's now 2026, which means it is over 50 years since 2025. Hats off to the @natlibscot.bsky.social Map Library for getting the latest batch of out-of-copyright large scale OS maps online already! maps.nls.uk/additions/#191 🗺️🎉
Screenshot - "Ordnance Survey large-scale maps published in 1975 Ordnance Survey National Grid maps published in 1975 graphic We have put online 9,851 maps at scales of 1:1,250 to 1:10,560 which were published in 1975, and which have therefore just come out-of-copyright from 1 January 2026. These maps cover areas in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and include 2,872 more detailed maps at scales of 1:1,250, 6,281 maps at 1:2,500, and 699 less detailed maps at scales of 1:10,000/1:10,560 .

FINALLY! 🎉 Trail hunters often still end in a fox being killed. It's about time that it's finally banned!

Trail hunting is already banned in Scotland. We hope that it's banned in Northern Ireland very soon following the ban in England and Wales. #trailhunting

I'm not upset about Labour losing the seat, and I'm rather pleased Plaid Cymru won. Congratulations 🎉
But Reform got 36% of the vote.
Seriously?
Reform are a bunch of fraudsters who are dying to asset-strip the UK?
