The Duke of Sussex and the new Prince of Wales will support their father and other royals in procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where Elizabeth will lie in state until her funeral on Monday. They will walk for around 40 minutes as the coffin, bearing the royal standard, is transported on a gun carriage while thousands of mourners line the streets.

Mears had grabbed Ambrose and shoved him several feet during the incident that followed the Sprint Cup race Saturday at Richmond International Raceway. Harvick, at a promotional appearance for next month’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, said he didn’t expect big penalties for Ambrose and Mears but any crewmen who got involved possibly could.

And yet, with just over six weeks left until the start of the domestic season, his only real option away from the Allianz Arena seems to be Chelsea – a move that would force him to give up on playing Champions League football for at least one season. Lewandowski has previously been in contact with Paris Saint-Germain, while his decision to bring in Pini Zahavi – the man who brokered Neymar’s world record move to PSG – as his agent was followed by intense rumours that he had his sights set on replacing the misfiring Karim Benzema at Real Madrid....

Ahead of Wednesday’s Game 2 between the Knicks and Hawks, an amped-up Madison Square Garden crowd unleashed a fresh round of boos as Young and his teammates took the court. Young emerged as the next great Garden villain after sinking the game-winning shot in the series opener and taunting Knicks fans, who had been been hitting the 22-year-old with a barrage of “F— Trae Young” chants throughout Game 1....

That followed news that owner Bruce Levenson would be selling his stake in the team after a league investigation — which originated with Ferry’s comments — found that Levenson had sent a 2012 email in which he described the team’s black fans in stereotyped, racially insensitive language.

So with an initial $5,000 in hand from Ellis’s 43-year-old cousin, filmmaker Aaron Woolf, the two decided to find out how all that corn was getting into their hair—and their bodies. The aim: to track that corn from kernel to market to our tables. The trail took them all over the country. They spoke with manufacturers, cattle farmers and a Brooklyn taxi driver with diabetes. A bemused Iowa farmer even agreed to let them use one acre of his land for one year to plant corn....

“This was why we threw a tantrum when Sesame Street went to HBO originally,” read a Twitter post from the entertainment website Sunshine State Cineplex. “It is a program that should never have been controlled by corporations trying to appeal to stockholders.

Now, less than 10 months after recombining TCI with the Liberty Media programming company, Malone is asking holders to split up the businesses again. Liberty’s holdings include the Discovery Channel, regional sports programming, Encore and big pieces of Home Shopping Network, Turner Broadcasting and the Black Entertainment network. Rather than separate TCI into two companies, Malone wants to convert TCI’s common stock into two separate “targeted” stocks. One stock, called TCI, would represent its cable operations, a business in disfavor on Wall Street these days....
