The fair, now in its 812th year, runs from today (Wednesday, 18 June) until Sunday (22 June), with fairground rides, a market and food and drink on Midsummer Common.

NHS cancer patients at Addenbrooke’s Hospital will become the first in Europe to benefit from incisionless ultrasound surgery using a cutting-edge histotripsy machine. A donation from Hong Kong-based philanthropist Sir Ka-shing Li, a longstanding supporter of cancer research at the University of Cambridge, enabled it to buy The Edison Histotripsy System. Histotripsy uses pulsed sound waves to create ‘bubble clouds’ from gases present in targeted tissue which form and collapse in microseconds.
