THE campaigning mum and sister of Samantha Madgin have picked up MBEs from the King at Windsor Castle.

- SAM VOLPE Health reporter

Alison Madgin and Carly Barrett have spent well over a decade raising awareness about the dangers of knife crime, following the devastating murder of the Wallsend mum back in 2007.

Alison and Carly were pictured at the investiture at Windsor Castle, at an event which also saw the likes of TV hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly formally receive honours from the King. Their MBEs were announced in June 2024, in the King’s Birthday Honours list.

Alison and Carly’s campaigning has seen them devote their lives to educating young people about the dangers of carrying knives.

We'll right the wrongs: Sam

RUGBY UNION Sam Underhill insists England must block out the outside noise as they look to regroup in time for the next assignment of a Guinness Six Nations that has unravelled after only three rounds. Ireland's record 42-21 victory at Allianz Stadium that followed an equally emphatic defeat by Scotland at Murrayfield has removed Steve Borthwick's team from title contention just a fortnight after they set out to seize France's crown. An inept performance has been universally criticised and Underhill insists England must stay united ahead of their clash with a vastly improved Italy on March 7, a fixture ripe for a Stadio Olimpico shock.
