With his street-worn, gruff voice and punk attitude, Di'Anno distinctive voice graced Maiden's first pair of studio records, 1980's Iron Maiden and 1981's Killers. While his tenure was short-lived, the singer's impact has been anything but as he helped the group define themselves and an early generation of heavy metal.

A collector who has amassed thousands of rare fossils that he displays in a private museum is in talks to sell his "cabinet of curiosities". Wolfgang Grulke has been buying and conserving prehistoric artefacts, which he keeps in a converted barn near Sherborne, Dorset, for 50 years. Now he wants to find them a new home, before he turns 80 in two years' time. Mr Grulke says he wants the collection to go to a place where "people will be astonished and fuel their curiosity".

If you’ve ever spent any time on the wilder parts of our coastline, you probably owe the outgoing High Sheriff of Dorset, Sibyl Fine King DL, a debt of gratitude.

Quite an investment for someone who landed in Dorset almost by accident nearly 40 years ago.
