Channel 4 has just announced that they will not be airing Hollyoaks episodes for the first time in 28 years on its main channel.

Bosses have pulled the plug on Hollyoaks from being aired on it main channel Channel 4, in a new digital strategy to freshen up viewing experiences with the state-owned broadcaster.

The broadcaster announced today that the new schedule pattern launches on Monday 25th September and promises viewers 'a massive stunt week of spectacular and standout storylines' with 'scenes shot in sensational new locations'.

But, fans of the soap, which started in 1995, may be relived to hear that the show is not being axed, but moved to its sister channel E4 in a bid to shake-up the schedule.

The most devoted of the soap based in the drama-filled Chester village will still be able to catch the weekly omnibus which will continue to be broadcast on Channel 4.

Episodes will also be uploaded onto Youtube to suit younger audiences, and will be made available to watch on YouTube the week after streaming and broadcast on E4.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have marked the first anniversary of Elizabeth II's death with a prayer service near Balmoral.

They were at Crathie Kirk, while the Duke of Sussex visited St George's Chapel in Windsor - the late queen's final resting place.

The Prince and Princess of Wales attended a private service at St Davids Cathedral in Pembrokeshire.

The King also released a message and a favourite photograph of the late queen.

The photograph chosen by the King shows the queen at an official portrait sitting in 1968 aged 42.

Elizabeth II died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire on 8 September last year, just months after her Platinum Jubilee which marked 70 years on the throne.

The King, who has spent the summer at his Birkhall residence and Balmoral, attended the nearby Crathie Kirk church for private memorial prayers on Friday morning.

Following the service, the King and Queen went on a walkabout, smiling and sharing jokes with Balmoral Estate staff, members of the royal household, local primary school pupils and residents from the nearby town of Ballater.

Prince William and Catherine attended a short private service on Friday at St Davids Cathedral - some 500 miles away in Wales.

Catherine, wearing earrings which belonged to the late queen, laid flowers in front of a portrait of her.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry was photographed leaving St George's Chapel in Windsor after paying respects to his grandmother.

The chapel, where the late queen's moving Committal Service was held, is home to Elizabeth II's final resting place - the King George VI Memorial Chapel.

In his short tribute, the King thanked the nation for the "love and support" shown to him and Queen Camilla during his first year as monarch.

"In marking the first anniversary of Her late Majesty's death and my accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us," the King said.

"I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all."

His written message, which accompanies the audio recording, is signed Charles R.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a message that the scale of the late queen's service "only seems greater" a year after her death.

"Her devotion to the nations of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth only seems deeper," he said.

"And our gratitude for such an extraordinary life of duty and dedication only continues to grow."

Mr Sunak said he treasured his memories of meeting the late queen and was struck by her "wisdom, her incredible warmth and grace", as well as her "sharp wit".

"People across the UK - whether they had the good fortune to meet Her late Majesty or not - will be reflecting today on what she meant to them and the example she set for us all," he added.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the queues to see the late queen lying in state showed she had "always enjoyed a special bond with her people".

"It was a relationship built from her understanding that service of this great nation is the thread that unites sovereign and subject," he said.

"So, as we reflect on her legacy again today, let us embrace that spirit of public service as our guide towards a better future."

Try - France 0-5 New Zealand

France made the perfect start on their quest for a first Rugby World Cup title as they beat three-time champions New Zealand to delight the Stade de France in Paris.

The hosts had to fight deep into the final quarter as tries from New Zealand wing Mark Telea inside the opening minutes of both halves threatened to wreck the opening-day party.

Ultimately, though, Thomas Ramos' relentless boot and a well-worked try from Damian Penaud edged them clear of the enterprising, if fading All Blacks.

A 73rd-minute penalty from Ramos finally put France out of seven-point range on the scoreboard and the home fans could celebrate in comfort as their players hunted for a crowning try.

They found it with three minutes left as Melvyn Jaminet gathered fellow replacement Maxime Lucu's teasing chip.

France will continue their Pool A campaign on Thursday against Uruguay before meetings with Namibia and Italy.

Victories in all three would guarantee them top spot and a last-eight meeting with the runners-up from Pool B, which contains Ireland, South Africa and Scotland.

New Zealand, who had won all 31 of their previous pool-stage game at World Cups, will know from painful experience that all is not lost.

Four years ago, at Japan 2019, they beat South Africa in the pick of the pool-stage matches, only to watch the Springboks become the first team to lose their opening game and go on to lift the William Webb Ellis Trophy.

France's players stayed out and and soaked up the atmosphere of blaring Euro-disco and late summer heat after the final whistle.

In seven weeks it will be autumn, but the stage will be the same. The result and, perhaps more importantly the resolve, will harden belief that this golden generation could be the one to finally lift the silverware that has escaped them in three previous finals.

Northern Ireland defenders Craig Cathcart and Ciaron Brown have been ruled out of Sunday's Euro 2024 qualifier against Kazakhstan in Astana.

Both centre-backs suffered injuries during the 4-2 defeat to Slovenia which all but ended lingering NI hopes of qualifying for next year's finals.

Another central defender, Daniel Ballard, was deemed unfit to play any part in the loss in Ljubljana.

Midfielder Shea Charles ended up joining Jonny Evans in central defence.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill had already found his squad badly hit by the absence of a plethora of senior players for the September Group H double-header. Ballard's unavailability for the encounter with the Slovenians followed, and Cathcart and Brown have joined the absentees.
