A new exhibition by celebrated English photographer Tim Walker has opened at the National Portrait Gallery in London and includes a previously unseen portrait of Kate (with a blackbird), we think taken in 2011. More on the exhibition here:

The Mirror looks forward to the BBC's new soap #EastEnders -
EAST SIDE STORY - Albert Square ... a corner of the East End set to become as familiar as Coronation Street.
Saw AN OAK TREE by my ace client @thistimcrouch tonight. First saw it 21 years ago and it still packs a punch. It’s like an X-Ray of a play, revealing its skeleton but also its beating heart.

The Saturday morning baton is passed to #MikeRead as he opens the SATURDAY SUPERSTORE on BBC1 for the first time. With #SarahGreene and #KeithChegwin alongside him, the star guest on the first edition was #KateBush. The show ran until April 1987.
It’s National Poetry Day!

They should have given it to Gwendoline Riley. They have made a terrible mistake.

Nick Grimshaw just played Paninaro by @petshopboys on @BBC6Music & I thought that is an all time great tune.
She was just so intelligent and funny and cool.
#OnThisDay 1981: a youthful Paula Yates talks to Duncan Gibbins about her writing career, taking in both Rock Stars in Their Underpants and Dame Barbara Cartland.
Saw Chabrol’s La Femme Infidèle today. Thought it chillingly brilliant. And Stéphane Audran has a great wardrobe in it.
Lucky enough to see BLOODSPORT tonight @stratfordeast
Scary, funny and horribly prescient. It’s a terrific production of an electrifying new play.

46 yrs ago today, Kate Bush released ‘Never For Ever’. An album that had her taking more control of the production with her use of the Fairlight CMI and more expansive, soundscapes. It was also the first record by a female artist to reach #1 in the UK. Her first masterpiece.
