Weekend Round-Up

Here's what we've learned this weekend whilst you've been pretending that you like the weather a bit cooler:

Tortoise smugglers. No really: there is such a thing. Two have been apprehended at Stansted.

It's a right den of iniquity, that Buckingham Palace.

An American vessel has been participating in the Constable's Dues, a little known ceremony at the Tower.

Two men were shot in Leyton on Saturday.

There's to be a parade of prostitutes in Soho this afternoon as sex workers put on a show to thank residents for their support.
