Opinion: * Letters: On bread and butter issues NI sorely lacks people to see the job through. * Letters: Unionists will think this is the right decision against the internal UK trade barrier. * The DUP has belatedly taken right stance against the Northern Ireland Protocol. Lifestyle: * On the Queen's Platinum Jubilee we take a look at her incredible fashion evolution from the 1940s to now. * The waistcoated men of the green baize were genuine superstars during a decade when snooker was elevated from obscure bar-room pastime to national obsession.
