Search for young Swindon fan

A search is on for a six-year-old boy who wrote a letter to Swindon Town FC saying he and his mother couldn’t afford tickets to watch the team play. The club shared a picture of a letter written by “Joe”, who also enclosed 26p for his favourite player, Harry McKirdy. “Mummy doesn't have any money to come to Swindon games because she has no money for food,” it read. The club’s tweet has gone viral and a JustGiving page for “Joe” and his mum has raised nearly £10,000.

An Israeli farmer has grown the world’s heaviest strawberry, reported The Guardian. An expert said the 289g fruit was about five times the average weight of a regular strawberry of the local Ilan variety.

The previous record was held by a Japanese farmer who discovered a 250g strawberry in his harvest in 2015.
