Island vehicle ferry sailings disrupted
Passengers set to sail on a car ferry to and from the Isle of Wight are facing delays and cancellations.
Red Funnel said the "technical issue" meant sailings between Southampton and East Cowes on the Isle of Wight were disrupted.
Foot passengers are being advised to travel on the Southampton-West Cowes high-speed service which is unaffected.
Passengers planning to travel on Monday are advised to check Red Funnel's timetable.
On Saturday, passengers also faced disruption after vehicle ferry Red Eagle broke down, having just returned to service.
A number of sailings were cancelled during the morning, with the ferry firm apologising for inconvenience to passengers.
The Red Jet passenger-only crossing takes 28 minutes, the vehicle ferry about an hour.

Taylor Swift Wears Sky-Blue Bodysuit and Ballerina Skirt With Travis Kelce on NYC Date
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen in New York City after several months of rare appearances. The couple was filmed leaving a restaurant in footage shared by a fan account on X, formerly Twitter. In the video, an employee held the door open, shaking Kelce's hand as he passed by, then nodding goodbye to the Eras Tour star as she followed her boyfriend out. As they approached a car, Kelce took Swift's hand and escorted her ahead of him into the vehicle. For the hot summer night out, Swift wore a pale blue bodysuit with a short pleated skirt. She accessorized with a white handbag and white pointed-toe shoes and left her hair down in flowing waves. Kelce was wearing white shorts and a white shirt with sneakers. Swift and Kelce have been seen frequently in Florida the last few months, and attended the Stanley Cup Finals in Sunrise, Florida, on June 12. They also popped up in Tennessee on June 6, attending a backyard wedding together, and before that at Harry's West Palm Beach in Florida. Kelce reportedly rented a luxury house nearby to spend some time with Swift and his family. The couple has been recovering from a very busy winter. Swift's Eras Tour ended in December 2024. Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played in the Super Bowl in February, he will soon return to NFL training camp ahead of the next season. On June 4, a source explained why they have been so low-key, telling Us Weekly, 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise.' A second source shared, 'Florida has been the perfect escape for them. Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.'

Isle of Wight Festival bus driver escapes fire
A bus used to ferry passengers to and from the Isle of Wight Festival has been destroyed by fire. The driver managed to safely pull over before emergency services were called at 00:40 BST to Newport Road. No-one else had been onboard the bus which had been shuttling people between Cowes ferry terminal and the festival site in Newport. Richard Tyldsley, Southern Vectis general manager, said: "There was no prior warning of any issue, and the driver pulled over immediately and safely." "This type of incident is extremely rare, and we are investigating to establish the cause of the fire. Early indications suggest a mechanical issue," he said. The former Salisbury Reds bus has been retained on the island and is part of the additional fleet used for festival transport each year. "The vehicle has been maintained and was prepared for service by the Southern Vectis team," said Mr Tyldsley. The Isle of Wight Festival started on Thursday with some of the thousands of revellers making their way to the island. Headliners for this year's weekend-long event include Justin Timberlake and Stereophonics. You can follow BBC Hampshire & Isle of Wight on Facebook, X, or Instagram.

Why Taylor Swift Didn't Join Travis Kelce at Cannes Lions
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been enjoying traveling together during their time out of the spotlight, but this week, it seems they're flying solo. It doesn't appear the singer joined Kelce in Cannes, France, where the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke with his brother, Jason, during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity yesterday. Swift wasn't spotted in the crowd watching the Kelce brothers talk about their podcast, New Heights, on the Amazon Port panel stage, and no photos have come out of her in France this week either. Kelce spoke at Cannes Lions last year, and Swift didn't attend then, even though she was in between U.K. Eras Tour shows. At the time, Caroline McCarthy, a marketing executive and former journalist, wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) that, despite rumors, 'most people involved in Cannes planning have known for weeks that Taylor Swift wouldn't be coming to #CannesLions2024. Travis was told explicitly not to bring her because the security needs would overwhelm the city.' The same security concerns exist this year, providing one potential reason for her absence. Additionally, a source told Us Weekly on June 4 that Swift and Kelce were trying to keep their relationship more private. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise,' the insider explained. Kelce and Swift have been seen out this month, however. The couple attended the fourth game of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Florida, on June 12. One day later, Swift visited Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, and told a patient she met there, 'My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I'd come and see how you're doing.' Her remarks confirm People's report from the end of May that Swift was staying in Florida 'to support and spend time' with Kelce during his NFL offseason. Kelce will report to training camp in Kansas City, Missouri, later this summer, kicking off his preseason.
