Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present.
We pay tribute to their courage, service and sacrifice, and remember all those who have lost their lives.
We will remember them. 🌹
🪔 Ahead of Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas tomorrow, we’re wishing everyone celebrating across Birmingham and beyond a joyful day.
When did you last put your health first?
We asked men in Birmingham what motivates them to stay healthy, when they last had a check-up and what they do to look after themselves.
From everyday habits to getting things checked, small steps can make a difference.

Please be careful if you, but especially your children are wearing fancy dress costumes this Halloween. The material used is often extremely flammable. Keep costumes away from naked flames, and consider LED candles in and around the house instead.
Keep Halloween spooky, not risky 🎃
Costumes can catch fire quickly, so keep them away from candles, pumpkins and other naked flames. Buy from reputable retailers and check for UKCA or CE markings.
