The huge container ship that blocked the Suez Canal is being unloaded after it arrived in the UK. The Ever Given docked at Felixstowe, Suffolk, at 16:30 BST on Tuesday, its first UK visit since causing disruption to global shipping. The Port of Felixstowe said 2,000 containers were being unloaded by crane and the process would take about 24 hours. It said the 400m-long (1,300ft) vessel was due to leave at 02:00 on Thursday. The Ever Given's next destination after Felixstowe is Hamburg, Germany.

Meanwhile, Kingsway Golf Centre in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, is looking forward to finally adding two new dinosaur models to its Jurassic Links crazy golf course. It said it had already cleared space around the 17th and 18th holes for the giant Tyrannosaurus rex model, nicknamed Dino, before it became stuck on the Ever Given. The course is also waiting for the arrival of Dino's 4m (13ft) wide pterodactyl friend. "The forced isolation for these two spectacular dinosaurs is over," said marketing manager Fred Dell. He said they expected the two models, plus other "dino bits and bobs" to arrive on Monday.
