Harry Potter chair sold at auction in the US

The chair that Harry Potter author JK Rowling sat on while writing the first two books has sold in the US for around £280,000.

JK Rowling wrote the first two Harry Potter books in this chair.

She had picked up the chair for free in Edinburgh before the books were published, and then had hand-painted them.

The chair has messages written from JK Rowling, including: "O, you may not find me pretty but don't judge on what you see" and "I wrote Harry Potter while sitting on this chair".

The chair also comes with a letter written by the author, saying that the chair hurt her back.

It reads: "I was given four mismatched dining room chairs in 1995 and this was the comfiest one, which is why it ended up stationed permanently in front of my typewriter, supporting me while I typed out Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. My nostalgic side is quite sad to see it go, but my back isn't."

Zayn Malik's debut solo album tops UK chart

Zayn has topped the UK album chart with his first solo album, Mind of Mine.

The former 1D singer knocked Adele's 25 from the top spot, after selling over 4,000 more albums. It follows the success of Pillowtalk, the record's lead single, which went straight to number one in February.

On hearing the news Zayn said: "I want to thank all the fans and my team"

"It's mind-blowing"

Zayn said "I can't believe that I have managed to achieve this as a solo artist.

"I am very proud coming from Bradford achieving this in my home country."

He added: "It's mind-blowing to me. I don't take the support I have received for granted. My life at 23 could have been very different."

Jet plane turned into classroom

Pupils at a school in Essex in England will soon be having lessons in a disused jet plane.

Milton Hall Primary School bought the jet earlier this month.

The aeroplane was bought by Milton Hall School in Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex, earlier this month.

The school bought the plane because they didn't have a lot of space to build new classrooms.

It had to be carried by large crane on to the playing field, where it was gutted.

It still needs a lot of work before it can be used as a classroom, but the school hopes it will be ready by June.

Man base jumps off The Shard with parachute

A man jumped off The Shard, the tallest building in London, with a parachute on Saturday morning and landed safely on a street below.

The Shard in London is one of the tallest buildings in Europe

Witness Justin Knock captured images of the base jump and said the "dangerous" move was "skilfully" done with the jumper landing on his feet.

The base jumper landed at about 10.18am, police said, adding that no-one has been arrested.

The Shard stands at 310 metres and is one of the tallest buildings in Europe.

A spokesperson for The Shard said: "We are investigating an incident involving a member of the public this morning."

Eyewitness Mr Knock, said: "I was buying some cheese from the store opposite St Thomas's Street and looked up and this guy was coming down with his parachute.

"It was obviously a dangerous thing to do but he pulled it off skilfully."

He and another man bundled up the parachute within seconds of landing and left the scene. Police and staff from the building arrived at the scene soon after, Mr Knock said.

New Zealanders voting on whether to change flag

People in New Zealand have started voting on whether to change their national flag.

The country's prime minister wants to change to a design so that it looks different to the UK flag.

The current flag includes the Union flag - the United Kingdom's national flag, from a time when the country was controlled by the UK.

Voters are being asked to choose between the current design and a new flag based around the traditional New Zealand silver fern.

The final stage in New Zealand’s bid to change its flag has begun, with voters asked to choose between the current design and a silver fern against blue and black.

Silver Fern (Black, White and Blue), by Melbourne-based New Zealander Kyle Lockwood, was the highest-ranked of five designs in a referendum last year, with 50.58% of the vote.

The second referendum asks voters to choose between it and the current flag. Those correctly enrolled will receive papers in the mail between Thursday 3 March and Friday 11 March.

Voting in the referendum closes on Thursday 24 March with the preliminary result expected around 8.30pm local time. All votes postmarked by Wednesday 23 March will be eligible for the count. .

New Zealand confirms alternative flag ahead of final referendum

The final result will be declared on 30 March, after all votes received in time have been processed. If the vote is for change, there could be a transition period of around 12 months.

The referendum opens amid apparent flagging support for change, with the One News Colmar Brunton poll in late February finding that two-thirds of New Zealanders are in favour of keeping the current design.

“You can say a lot of bad things about the alternative flag, but probably the worst is that it makes the current flag look good,” wrote commentator Finlay Macdonald.

New stamps to celebrate 500 years of postal deliveries

Royal Mail has got a brand new set of stamps to celebrate 500 years of postal deliveries.

In 1516 this man, Sir Brian Tuke, became the first Master of the Posts. Since that year there have been regular organised postal deliveries.

Back in the eighteenth century this mail coach was used to deliver letters.

To get further out, ships like this were used.

An earlier version of the post box - this is the Penfold Pillar Box, first put up in 1866 and hexagonal in shape.

You might be used to seeing postmen and women walking or driving around the streets delivering mail, but here's a woman who delivered post by river.

Fast forward to the 21st century and this picture of a mail centre shows how sorting out mail is now a lot more high tech.
