So sad to learn of the death of Sir Hayden Phillips, the first Permanent Secretary of @DCMS Working with him was an epiphany for me, and I learned more from his warmth, wit and commitment to public service than from anyone else in my career. RIP Hayden.

Great to be in Brussels to launch the first formal UK-EU cultural dialogue since Brexit. Meeting with @glennmicallef, we discussed strengthening our relationship and working together on AI in the creative industries and improving artists working conditions.

Culture has an amazing power to bring people together. I met with Nigeria’s Culture Minister @hanneymusawa to celebrate the UK-Nigeria Season of Culture in 2028: britishcouncil.org.ng/about/… We’ll be working together to build new opportunities to grow our creative sectors.

I think so many in politics in general utterly fail to grasp the reality that our arts is not just a 'nice to have' - it's serious for our economy, and it's serious for our soft power. Arts, the World Service, these great British exports worth more than the sum of their parts

The King and Queen were joined by Sir Idris Elba at Barking & Dagenham Rush Green Campus. 🎨 The college offers a range of technical and professional education courses to students. Their Majesties met students taking part in fashion, plumbing, healthcare and cookery workshops. 🎬 The King and Queen also joined Sir Idris, alumnus of the college and @KingsTrust, at the state-of-the-art TV and film studios named in his honour.
