'I'm wondering if I'll ever see my mum alive again,' says Lancashire man about 96-year-old relative with dementia

Sep 2, 2020

Good afternoon,

You know Autumn is on the way when back to school pictures start filling up your Facebook feed and the Strictly line-up is announced - and today it includes Lancashire's finest.

Ranvir Singh, who began her career at BBC Radio Lancashire and hails from Preston, is joining a stellar lineup which also includes my almost-namesake, boxer Nicola Adams.

Meanwhile, from the newsdesk, we've talked to Preston mum Jade who lost her unborn child and had to face life-saving surgery at Royal Preston hospital - entirely alone.

Former Chorley FC Manager Garry Flitcroft has scored victory in the appeal court in a business dispute.

In the latest on coronavirus and as nearby Bolton records the biggest increase in cases in the North west, we share the latest cases.

And, as we face an unprecedented post-Covid jobs crisis, we have shared the latest opportunities at Lancashire County Council.

You can follow all the latest breaking news via our live blog and we are on Facebook.

Don't forget, if you would like to share pics of your smart-looking offspring on the first day back, please look up the post on our Facebook page.

Happy Wednesday!

Nicola Adam, deputy editor, Lancashire Post.
