Hannah Martin unveils video game jewellery collection
British jewellery designer Hannah Martin has teamed up with French independent video game developer Sandfall Interactive and video game publisher Kepler Interactive to create conceptual digital jewellery pieces inspired by the character of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 role-playing video game.
Martin has designed five digital jewellery creations inspired by the in-game characters of Gustave, Lune, Sciel, Maelle, and Verso, which fuse classic metal craftsmanship and delicate fine art.

Each of the pieces has been envisioned to be crafted with 18-carat gold and jet-black obsidian to reflect Martin's interpretation of the rich aesthetic of Expedition 33, merging the fantasy game setting and characters with real-life contemporary art and high-fashion elegance.
The developers at Sandfall Interactive then took the digital jewellery designs and intricately modelled them in Unreal Engine 5 to create a series of in-engine images that fully blend the digital and physical worlds.

Commenting on the collaboration, Martin said in a statement: 'It is totally new territory for me, and I have loved being able to explore and push the boundaries between reality and unreality. It has been a constant dance between real world and fantasy.'
Additionally, Martin has created 33 real-life necklaces inspired by the design representing Verso, meticulously hand-crafting each piece in sterling silver. These pieces are not for sale and were created as a celebration of the game's beauty in an extremely limited quantity as a 'thank you' to community members and artists who have supported the game and its creation.

The area of London where Sir David Jason grew up Born David White, the actor grew up in post-war London as the son of a fishmonger and a cleaning lady. In 2013, Sir David opened up about his childhood with The Scotsman, describing memories of playing on bombsites and learning to play the fool to not get bullied.

Chepstow pub 'with a castle at the bottom of the garden'
After all, a man with a pub to rebuild, and a 'castle at the bottom of his beer garden,' is a very busy man indeed. Steve's rescue of the Five All's is in keeping with his love of pubs. He saw his old boozer, where quaffed his first legal pint,in need of a bit of care. So Steve came tot eh rescue of the pub where he once worked as a teen barman. As Steve opened, a stream of customers came in to use the beer garden. Among them, Rebecca Roy, from Toronto, Canada. She said: 'Great pub. We have them back home, but never this friendly.' Rebecca's pooch pal, Sophie Bear, loves the pub too. The interior is welcoming, with a fair bit of wood panelling, is well-lit bar and has many friendly faces. There was no need to light the pubs log burner on this sweltering day. Talking of a quashing a thirst in the heat, there are eers aplenty to choose from. The bar also serves a range of spirits, including a single malt for dinosaurs like me, lots of gin for the ladies and enough varieties of rum to keep the entire fleet afloat. I tried a Hobgoblin Session IPA. The taste was quite hoppy, not as bitter as most IPAs and a good introduction for a novice like me. Apparently. the beer suits the sun. Steve recommends it as a good alternative to that good old mad apple cider to those cool summer highs. The Five Alls continues its impressive recovery with music and will soon introduce food by the end of the summer, Steve explains. There is live music on Fridays. Next week, local band Damaged Goods will be an unofficial opening of Chepstow's Choral Festival – so choral fans should avoid the Five Alls next Friday, at all costs advises Steve. Steve looks forward to continuing his efforts to rescues the Great British Pub and hopes for help for the ails of the trade. 'Let's hope government sees that pubs are an essential part of British culture and life. So many have closed, we need to do more to save this great institution. Tell your MP to cut duty. You won't know what you've lost until they're all gone,' he said. On a lighter note, he concluded: 'The Five Alls is still standing. A traditional pub serving up good company. Support you local pub – they're a part of you and a part of our culture.'

Windrush campaigners urge the Government to save Notting Hill Carnival
The west London carnival is in jeopardy, its chairman Ian Comfort said in a letter on Wednesday, when he asked Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy to provide urgent funding to save the event. Jacqueline McKenzie, a campaigner and human rights lawyer who helped victims of the Windrush scandal, said the carnival holds 'huge national and international significance'. 'The Government needs to recognise this and act urgently to protect it,' Ms McKenzie said. In the late 1950s, Notting Hill became home to many people from the Caribbean who arrived in Britain on Windrush and accompanying ships, and the carnival was founded by pioneers of that generation. Ms McKenzie said the carnival being at risk 'adds insult to injury' for victims of the Windrush scandal. 'It should not be lost on us that these funding concerns coincide with Windrush Day on Sunday,' she said. 'To see this celebration in jeopardy whilst so many of the Windrush generation continue to fight for justice following the Home Office scandal only adds insult to injury. 'Carnival embodies the fundamental role of Black and Caribbean communities in Britain, and the Government should be upholding the Windrush legacy instead of undermining it.' The carnival attracts around two million people over the August bank holiday, and Susan Hall, leader of the Conservatives on the London Assembly, previously said the event was a 'victim of its own success' and a 'disaster waiting to happen' because of the large number of attendees. City Hall said it has been working with partners to ensure the safety of carnival-goers, which it described as 'paramount'. Professor Patrick Vernon, a cultural historian and Windrush campaigner, said: 'Notting Hill Carnival is far more than a street event — it is a vital cultural institution with both national and international significance. 'As the second-largest carnival in the world, second only to Rio de Janeiro, it underscores London's position as a leading global capital of diversity, creativity and cultural exchange.' Professor Vernon campaigned for a national Windrush Day following the 2018 scandal when it was revealed thousands of British people, mainly of Caribbean origin, were wrongly classed as illegal immigrants – with many deported while others faced difficulty securing work, accessing healthcare or housing. 'The injustice faced by the Windrush Generation in recent years makes the threat to Notting Hill Carnival all the more painful,' Professor Vernon said. 'It is a celebration born of resistance, resilience, and unity – a legacy that should be upheld, not undermined. To allow this cornerstone of Black British identity to fall into jeopardy is to further betray the communities who have already given so much. 'As we approach the 70th anniversary of this extraordinary event, we are reminded that Notting Hill Carnival represents the very best of Britain: unity in diversity, creativity in adversity, and joy in community. Now more than ever, these are values worth defending.' Glenda Caesar, director of the Windrush National Organisation, also urged the Government to step in to save the event, adding: 'In the face of historical and ongoing injustices experienced by people of colour, the carnival stands not only as a celebration of resilience, heritage and identity but also as a powerful symbol of unity and inclusion. 'Supporting this event affirms the UK's commitment to embracing diversity, acknowledging its multicultural roots, and fostering a society where all communities feel seen, valued and empowered.' The Department of Culture, Media and Sport has been contacted for comment.
