4. Banbury women dress up as princesses for cancer charity

TWO friends who dress up in magical attire for a living have decided to raise vital cash for a children's cancer charity after being inspired by a little princess's brave battle with the disease.

Jemma Hibberd, 29, and Bridie Kate Gibbs, 18, both create birthday parties for young children and decided to raise money for CLIC Sargent after meeting a young girl at her 'end of treatment party' when she beat the disease.

The pair from Banbury, who work for Bee Imaginative Parties & Events, said they hoped the money donated to CLIC Sargent would help young people living with cancer who are just like her.

Ms Hibberd said: "All children deserve something truly special and magical and as children's entertainers, spending our weekends bringing joy to so many little faces, it only seems right that we do something to raise money for those children who have endured what no child should."

5. Mum feared bang created by Typhoon jets was a "terror attack"

Two Typhoon jets that had to leave "in a hurry" were responsible for a "massive bang" felt across Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire on Friday afternoon.

It was originally thought the loud explosion-type bang was caused by an aircraft leaving RAF Brize Norton, but a spokesman from the Ministry of Defence said it was in fact an aircraft launched from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.

One stunned mother from Northampton mistook the sonic boom of the two jets for a terror attack.

Amanda Drage was making a video of her daughter Billie-Jane riding a a Shetland pony when she felt the ground move beneath her feet.

She said: "I thought it was a terror attack to be perfectly honest, or maybe a gas explosion."
