To mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we honour our most brave, by sharing some stories and legacies of heroism and courage.

With an emotional curtain raiser at Molineux, remembering former favourite Diogo Jota, we look back at all the weekend’s football action for both West Brom and Wolves.

You’ll have to be sharp of mind, as we have another challenging quiz from TNF Soundings Contributor Roger.

We hit the tracks again, as we continue our Railway Adventure with Beacon's Talking News contributor and railway enthusiast David Smith.

There sure has been plenty of summer sunshine about this week- how long will it last? Are things set to get a little more unsettled? It is a bank holiday weekend after all!! we hear from Meena, who has the forecast for the week ahead!

And with thanks to the Gardening Experts at MK Pulse Magazine, from herb and vegetable harvesting, to ponds and early planting for the winter, we have all the latest hints and tips for August in the garden.
