6 days ago | bbc.com | Tasnim Chowdhury

No - there are no rules that mean clubs are obliged to do one. A guard of honour is an informal gesture made by a team to acknowledge the success of another - typically in a match after they have won a title. It has become a tradition, especially in the Premier League. The champions will walk between two parallel lines of opposition players, who applaud them on to the pitch before the game takes place.

The Miami Grand Prix is one of the most expensive to go watch on the F1 calendar - just behind Las Vegas.

"I have heard that Miami is expensive as a race. But Miami is expensive full stop. As is Las Vegas," said BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson. If you'd like a pass for the full three-day package then prices range from £322 up to £1,384.

Wrexham's value could rise to £150m following their promotion to the Championship, according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire. That would represent a valuation increase of 7,400% since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club for around £2m in 2021. At the time, the club were in the fifth-tier National League - but Saturday's 3-0 win over Charlton secured a third successive promotion.

Why are FA Cup semi-finals played at Wembley?

3 weeks ago | bbc.co.uk | Tasnim Chowdhury

FA Cup semi-finals have been held permanently at Wembley Stadium since 2008. Previously, neutral grounds including Villa Park, Old Trafford and Hillsborough hosted the fixtures - but in 2003 it was announced they would take place at the 'new' Wembley, after its rebuild. The decision was primarily financial - to help repay the £798m cost of rebuilding a new national stadium. Nick Barron, then a Football Association spokesperson, said the move was "a financial necessity".
