Mat KendrickThu, 21 May 2026 at 3:59 pm UTC·6 min readAs if Aston Villa becoming kings of Europe again wasn’t glorious, majestic and euphoric enough, things took a really surreal twist.For a bit of context, Dan Rolinson, our multimedia guru from the Claret and Blue podcast, and I had been invited to the final as guests of one of the key tournament sponsors, Flixbus.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWith that came the great thrill of actually being there to witness history. But it also came with some cracking seats in the corporate posh seats — bang on the halfway line. Unai Emery and the Villa dugout were almost within touching distance, and then the future king, Prince William himself, probably had worse seats than us, about 10 rows behind.'Nonsense' - Simon Jordan shuts down Unai Emery 'avenue out' claimAston Villa captain John McGinn continues to prove he is exactly what a footballer should beSo what happened was, before the game, as we took our seats, I was trying, using my journalistic instincts, to manoeuvre myself into a position where I could try and get a selfie with Wills himself.Now, his security detail meant that it wasn't possible. They very politely said to me, "No, because if we allow it for one, there's going to be a queue of people."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement"We don't want that to happen. He's here to watch the football," - which is fine.So we were in the hospitality area, where there were Villa fans, but not many. Most of the people there were neutral. So Dan and I were bringing the spirit of the Villa end between us into the hospitality area: booing dodgy referee decisions, and cheering every Villa pass, tackle, shot, and save. Not that there was much cause for many saves.

Emi Buendia of Aston Villa celebrates scoringAnd I think it was when t he second goal went in, when Emi Buendia smashed that—or rather, delicately clipped that—beautiful second goal into the top corner. We looked, we turned around, and we were celebrating. We were losing our heads, to be honest. We were celebrating, and we caught the eye of Prince William, and he was giving it loads back at us, pointing and fist-pumping and that kind of thing.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe was looking directly at us, fist-pumping, energetic and excited. What we were giving him, we were getting back in return. It was a really, really lovely moment. Anyway, fast forward. It was the end of the game. John McGinn, bless him, got his hands on that trophy. There was ticker tape celebrations, and the players' families were on the pitch.All of the players were really engaging and celebrating. Why wouldn't they? There were joyous scenes with the Villa fans. Honestly, I have never known anything like it. We were again trying to be roving reporters, getting as close to the action as we could with YouTube lives, Facebook videos, etc. We knew that we were in a privileged position to be in that stadium, and we wanted to give those back home a real flavour of what it was like.So anyway, we thought nothing of it and stayed there for probably an hour after the game, soaking up the atmosphere. Then we wandered back; we were going to exit the stadium to do a post-match podcast. As we wandered back, I caught Prince William's eye again, and he gave another kind of triumphant fist pump. All of a sudden—and this is where it got really, really weird — he summoned us, saying, "Come on, come on, have a chat, come and join us. Dan, Mat."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe actually named us — he used our names! "Come and have a chat." We were trying to hop over barriers to get there, elbowing people out of the way to try and get to him, just in case the chance disappeared.We had to move through different blocks and across different seats because we had already wandered to a different block from where our seats were. Anyway, we got there. What a lovely, lovely bloke.There is a YouTube video here to as part of this, and you can see it happening in real time. But just to cut a very long story short, or to summarise it a little bit.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhat happened was that he allowed us to film. So, we got three or four minutes chatting with him. He had actually read a thumping rallying cry that I had written on Birmingham Live that morning. We chatted about that, chatted about our emotions, and chatted about how the last time Villa won in Europe was the month before he was born.Dan Rolinson said to him, "When are you coming on the podcast then?" He started laughing and said, "I have been thinking about it, actually." He added, "I love what you guys do." I replied, "Come on, you are making this up. Come on." He said, "I genuinely get my fix of Villa news from you, and from John Townley and his coverage." It was just really, really brilliant stuff.That was the icing on the cake. Obviously, being there to witness Villa becoming champions of Europe again was absolutely wonderful, but knowing that Prince William is a fan of our podcast and a fan of our work was something else.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe one thing that really made my night, though, was easing the "dad guilt" I had felt for the last 48 hours because my 18-year-old son, Samuel, was unable to join us in Istanbul. He had an A-level exam on the day of the game, so he was watching it in the Witton Arms with a few beers down him. I was watching it inside the stadium, and we were exchanging FaceTime calls so I could see what was going on there, and he could see what was going on here. It was a really positive connection.I think the best way that I eased my dad guilt was before we left Prince William in peace. I asked him, "Can you send a message to my son Samuel, my nephew Alex, and my son's friend Jack?"Good as gold, he did just that. He sent a beautiful, beautiful message saying, "Sorry, lads, that you can't be here, but what a night for Aston Villa. Up the Villa!"AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt was a brilliant, lovely message. Then, I said to my son, "I have a surprise for you. You have a goodwill message from the future King of England."He was like, "No, no, no, no, no." So, in the early hours of the morning, I was walking back through the throng of the Claret and Blue carnival. He was back home. I was able to ping this message across, and I got a little WhatsApp text message back from my son saying, "You are pretty cool, you are, aren't you, Dad?" I think that was my "John McGinn lifting the trophy" moment, knowing that I got that lovely message for my son.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement

Return to homepageVAT slashed to 5% on summer attractions in chancellor’s cost of living planRachel Reeves has announced a cut in the rate of VAT on tickets for theme parks, zoos and museums from 20 per cent to 5 per cent over the summer holidays as part of a package of measures to tackle the spiralling cost of living caused by the Iran war.Sir Keir Starmer said the support would give families “a bit of breathing room” to “enjoy moments that matter without the same level of financial strain”.The chancellor’s “Great British Summer Savings” scheme, which the Treasury estimated would cost around £300m, also includes free bus travel for children aged between five and 15 in England during the school summer holidays, a 10p per mile increase in tax-free mileage rates backdated to April, and support for industries hit particularly hard by rising energy costs, with £350m set aside for a “critical chemicals resilience fund” to support “strategically important producers”, and £120m for the ceramics sector. The chancellor also cut import tariffs on more than 100 types of food products.
[IMG: Rachel Reeves set out a package of measures in the Commons on Thursday (Parliament TV)]
Rachel Reeves set out a package of measures in the Commons on Thursday (Parliament TV)The full package of measures comes at an estimated cost of £1.8bn over six years, while the Treasury expects to raise hundreds of millions in revenue by changing the way oil and gas companies with overseas operations are taxed.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis would put an end to the practice of some firms structuring their tax affairs “in a way which ensures they pay little or no corporation tax on their UK energy trading profits” and “raise hundreds of millions of pounds a year”, Ms Reeves said.However, the chancellor avoided announcing any immediate help with energy bills, despite soaring oil prices triggered by the Iran war, with charities urging ministers to take bolder action.Sir Keir, who was seeking to regain control of the political agenda with the announcements after his premiership came under pressure, said it was “not right” that “for too many families those things – a trip to the seaside, a visit to the zoo, a bus ride into town for a day out, even a simple treat at the end of the week – are starting to feel out of reach”.The government was providing “a serious response” to the “concerns people have about the months ahead” due to global instability, the prime minister wrote on Substack.“This summer, we are making it easier and more affordable for families to get out, spend time together, and make memories they will cherish for life.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMeanwhile, a Downing Street spokesperson was forced to deny that the measures were a response to Wes Streeting’s decision to resign last week, instead saying the swathe of announcements were evidence of the “government’s approach bearing fruit".Speaking about the VAT cut in the Commons on Thursday, Ms Reeves said: “This will apply to ticket prices for both adults and children, covering attractions such as fairs, theme parks, zoos and museums.“It will include children’s tickets for cinemas, concerts, soft play, and the theatre, and it will cut the cost of children’s meals in restaurants and cafes from 20 per cent VAT to 5 per cent as well.”She said the changes will apply across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland from 25 June until 1 September, and that the government expects businesses to pass on VAT savings to customers.Justifying her decision not to take immediate action on energy bills, Ms Reeves told MPs: “Because of the decision that I made at the Budget last year to cut £150 from energy bills, we have lessened the impact of rising prices and current external forecasts suggest that the cap from July will be at a similar level to the cap in April last year.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“We stand ready to act if market conditions worsen significantly later this year and I have been leading cross-government contingency work on design of potential future targeted and temporary support for businesses.”With the household energy price cap predicted to rise by £209 a year from July, charities and experts have called on the chancellor to introduce the much-delayed Energy Debit Relief Scheme, and to tackle housing costs.Dame Clare Moriarty, chief executive of Citizens Advice, welcomed the package of measures but said it fails to address “the urgent need for a plan to tackle record energy debt, or the huge uncertainties people face with their finances”.“The government must deliver the much-delayed Energy Debt Relief Scheme now and ensure any targeted support reaches those who need it most, such as families with children and disabled people.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“To truly get a grip on cost of living pressures, it must also look at the biggest challenges for household budgets, including housing costs and record debt levels. Summer savings are welcome, but the government needs to help people now and make a serious plan for winter,” she said.Meanwhile, Hannah Peaker, deputy executive of the New Economics Foundation, called on the government to “go much further”, calling on the government to take “tougher action on rents, energy and transport costs”.She said this would “help tackle inflation and prevent the Bank of England having to intervene with rate rises”.Final costings for all the measures will be detailed at the next Budget following scoring from the Office for Budget Responsibility, according to the Treasury.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTheme parks and cinemas welcomed the slashing of VAT, with British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions chief executive Paul Kelly saying it was “a very welcome and timely boost for the UK’s visitor attraction sector”.“Our members stand ready to pass on this benefit and deliver brilliant, memorable experiences for visitors of all ages.”UK Hospitality chair Kate Nicholls said a lower rate of VAT for hospitality was “the quickest and simplest way to lower prices and boost consumer confidence”.AdvertisementAdvertisement

Return to homepageLisbon, Portugal - September 2, 2023: easyJet Airbus A320-214 passenger plane descends to land in Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon(f9photos via Getty Images)EasyJet's boss has reassured passengers planning holidays this summer that the carrier is "not seeing any disruption to fuel supply" while encouraging travellers to "book with confidence".Kenton Jarvis made the remarks amid worries that British holidaymakers might face flight cancellations due to fuel shortages stemming from the Iran oil crisis. Several carriers have reduced their timetables in recent weeks following a surge in jet fuel costs, linked to Iran's control over vessels navigating through the Strait of Hormuz.However, the effect on UK flights has remained minimal so far. EasyJet confirmed it plans to "operate the full summer schedule on sale" and maintains "normal supply visibility" for the coming four weeks.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementI moved to London but these 3 things led me straight back to my hometownThe seaside towns near London named best in England after shedding grim reputation

The airline plans to operate its full summer schedule -Credit:BrasilNut1 via Getty ImagesMr Jarvis said: "EasyJet is not seeing any disruption to fuel supply. We continue to operate normally and our customers should book with confidence, taking advantage of our great value fares."When questioned about the matter during an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he explained: "We stay in very close contact with our fuel suppliers, airports, governments, and they are equally raising no issues looking forward. What is true is obviously there's a lot less oil coming from the Gulf region, but fuel suppliers have successfully diversified, with production increased in Norway, in West Africa, in the Americas, and refining capacity for jet fuel has also increased substantially outside of the Gulf region."He continued: "I would absolutely say don't panic about it. At easyJet, we fully intend to fly the summer schedule that we have on sale, and we also have a 'book with confidence' promise that we will not put fuel surcharges on, so once you've booked, that will be the price you pay."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEasyJet revealed that summer flight reservations are trailing behind last year's figures at this stage due to uncertainty stemming from the Middle East conflict. The carrier stated it has filled 58 per cent of its seats for the six-month period ending in September, representing a two percentage point decline compared to twelve months ago.However, last-minute bookings within the departure month have increased year-on-year. Mr Jarvis disclosed the airline has increased minimum fares for winter 2026/27 flights by "two to three pounds" due to elevated fuel expenses, though this summer's prices remain "incredibly attractive".He added: "What we're seeing this summer is that fares are broadly in line with where they were this time last year, which obviously is incredibly good value."He explained the carrier secured 72 per cent of its fuel requirements for the six months ending in September at rates available prior to the Iran oil crisis. This proportion drops to 53 per cent for winter 2026/27.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMr Jarvis warned that carriers "with weaker balance sheets may find themselves running into problems" due to rising fuel expenses. He said: "The demand situation will mean that prices remain competitive throughout the summer. If you haven't hedged, you won't be able to pass on the incremental price of fuel very easily."He added: "I'm not going to speculate as to which airlines that might be, but airlines with considerable debt would be one to look at. We're in a net cash position, but a number of airlines have quite sizable debt on their balance sheet."EasyJet announced a half-year pre-tax loss of £552 million, matching the guidance provided in its April trading update. This compares with a £401 million loss during the same period last year.The carrier warned that its financial performance through to the end of September would be affected by the conflict, which is driving elevated fuel costs and creating "near-term uncertainty around customer demand".AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe company revealed last month that the situation had cost approximately £25 million in increased jet fuel prices during March alone. Mr Jarvis said: "Despite conflict in the Middle East creating near-term uncertainty, easyJet is well placed to manage the current environment, supported by one of the strongest investment-grade balance sheets in European aviation."Looking for more from MyLondon?

No matter the marinade or the delivery system, you will have simply reached your limit, and that's when you need to reach for the chorizo." While we agree that Chef John's recipe for chicken and chorizo skewers is a delicious choice, we take exception to his claim—because these winning recipes have us fired up to grill chicken all year long.01 of 20
[H2] Good Frickin' Paprika Chicken
[IMG: Credit: Valerie Brunmeier]
Credit: Valerie BrunmeierLet's start with a recipe that's close to home: Chef John named his delicious yogurt- and paprika-marinated grilled chicken in homage to one of the best chicken takeout joints in San Francisco. Reviewer queenb wrote, "Chef John wins again! Served this with some fresh corn on the cob, and my family of 4 inhaled this. The only change I made is I left out the cayenne pepper because I thought it would be too spicy, but when I make this again, I will keep it in because it wasn't spicy at all."AdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe02 of 20

[H2] Peri Peri Chicken
[IMG: Credit: Chef John]
Credit: Chef JohnIf you can get your hands on pili pili chile peppers (also known as African bird's eye, piri-piri, or peri-peri), use them to make this spicy marinade. Chef John substitutes a blend of Fresno chiles and habaneros to make a sauce one reviewer called "next-level great." Another reviewer, Evan Goss, says, "This was phenomenal! I [used] jalapeños as I couldn't find fresnos. I've never had anything like this...it was amazing!"AdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe04 of 20
[H2] Chorizo and Chicken Skewers

[H2] Chef John's Barbecue Chicken
[IMG: Credit: jeffrey carpenter]
Credit: jeffrey carpenterHere's a finger-licking sticky classic that's really only as good as your favorite barbecue sauce. This recipe's on the quicker side, too, since it only marinates for an hour. Chef John's technique is what matters here: "Because barbecue sauce has such a high sugar content, it only takes a minute for it to go from brick red to solid black—so you have to be careful! To ensure a sticky, sweet glaze that's not burnt, I sear the skin quickly, then cook it skin-side up on a covered grill, brushing on the glaze while it cooks. Because the glaze never touches the grilling surface, it doesn't burn." —Chef JohnAdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe06 of 20
[H2] Grilled Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken
[IMG: Credit: Eileen Allwine]
Credit: Eileen AllwineYogurt works magic in marinades, tenderizing the meat and acting as a brine. Chef John's recipe includes fresh lemon juice and herbes de Provence with a harissa-spiked lemon-yogurt sauce. "There is something special about what yogurt does to chicken in its smoky, sizzling time over charcoal. It imparts a tanginess that enhances all the other flavors and grills to a caramelized dark brown without tasting burnt."—Chef JohnView Recipe07 of 20
[H2] Grilled Greek Chicken Breasts with Whipped Feta
[IMG: Credit: Chef John]
Credit: Chef JohnChicken breasts are notoriously easy to overcook, but Chef John's method of brining them in an herby vinaigrette gives you a little room for error on the grill. Combined with the utterly delicious whipped feta, this recipe might become your go-to recipe for cookouts. Serve with pita bread to scoop up what Chef John calls "My new favorite thing to eat. Make a nice big batch of whipped feta to serve on, or with…everything. And I mean that literally. This simple spread/dip/condiment would be fantastic with anything off the grill this summer, since cool and tangy always pair perfectly with hot and smoky."AdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe08 of 20
[H2] Buttermilk Barbecue Chicken

Credit: Chef JohnYou've had buttermilk-fried chicken; now it's time to try buttermilk-grilled chicken. Once you marinate the chicken halves overnight, it's dead easy to grill them. Chef John says, "This goes great with coleslaw, potato salad, and a squeeze of lemon."View Recipe09 of 20
[H2] Laotian Grilled Chicken (Ping Gai)
[IMG: Credit: Chef John]
Credit: Chef JohnA dish from a Toronto restaurant inspires this fresh and light-tasting grilled chicken. Chef John concedes, "Some North-Americanization may have occurred. But rest assured, this is at least twice as good as your average grilled chicken, North American or otherwise." Home cook Rachel Wineinger says, "We make this recipe weekly in my family and love it! The only change is that I don't put in as much black pepper as the recipe calls for. I also sometimes add some fresh minced garlic to the marinade. This is definitely one of my favorite dishes of all time!"AdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe10 of 20
[H2] Rusty Chicken Thighs
[IMG: Credit: KGora]
Credit: KGoraIf you need a quick and flavorful way to cook chicken, use this marinade made with mayonnaise, rice wine vinegar, and sambal oelek for the "rusty" color. Leave the chicken thighs in it for 30 minutes while you heat the grill (otherwise, refrigerate the chicken and let it marinate for about 3 hours). Allrecipes member katiekelley78 says, "I've made this three times now, and as always, Chef John hits it out of the park. I made it as is. I served with coconut rice and salad. Perfect! This one's a keeper."View Recipe11 of 20
[H2] Grilled Greek Chicken
[IMG: Credit: Chef John]
Credit: Chef JohnHere's another Greek chicken recipe that's designed for chicken legs rather than breast meat. Chef John slashes the skin of the chicken pieces to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat and allow the chicken to cook faster on the grill. He says, "This is so flavorful that you really don't need a sauce, but some fresh lemon is nice, as is a spicy yogurt. Just squeeze a little lemon into some nice thick Greek yogurt, spike it with hot sauce, and you have a perfect condiment." You can also serve it with Chef John's Tzatziki Sauce if you're feeling fancy.AdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe12 of 20
[H2] Filipino-Style Barbecue Chicken
[IMG: Credit: Chef John]
Credit: Chef JohnChef John calls this "Probably the best barbecue chicken you've never had. I've hesitated [to feature this recipe] since one of the main ingredients is banana ketchup. But then I remembered that I teach people to cook things, so this includes a recipe for this special ingredient." As Allrecipes member LubinVA says, "My wife's new favorite BBQ chicken dish. The banana ketchup was fun to make, and definitely didn't make the chicken taste like bananas. Definitely use thighs! I served it with Filipino garlic fried rice."View Recipe13 of 20
[H2] Chef John's Calabrian Chicken
[IMG: Credit: just_jam]
Credit: just_jamChef John uses Cornish game hens (which are actually a type of broiler chicken) for this spicy Italian marinade, but you can use it on chicken thighs, pieces, or a whole spatchcocked chicken if you like. Bright with fresh orange juice, zest, and rosemary, the marinade gets its kick from Calabrian chili sauce (Mezzetta sells a Calabrian pepper sauce that's available in many markets). "Made [this] for a graduation party and the guests raved! It is simply grilled chicken, but there seems to be something really special about this recipe. I made a double batch, as it was a big guest list. I accidentally purchased whole Calabrian chilies from Amazon, but it didn't seem to be a problem. It was a fun and successful experiment!" —Reviewer Shelley OlsonAdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe14 of 20

Credit: Rob1964While Chef John's richly spiced chicken isn't actually made in a tandoor, it's a great recipe to add to your grilling rotation. The appealing color comes from the spices in the marinade made with yogurt, lime juice, and Tandoori Masala. "My whole family loved this, and it's so easy to make. Even my picky son, who doesn't like any kind of chicken, said this recipe was delicious." —Reviewer UofMMommyAdvertisementAdvertisementView Recipe16 of 20

Chef John notes, "Like most brined recipes, the payoff is in the texture and moisture content and not necessarily in the taste. But this dish does have a nice little twang." Serve with a dollop of pickle-enhanced aioli or remoulade for a little salty flair. As Allrecipes member Marcia Smith says, "This recipe doesn't scream, 'Pickles!!!'. The flavor is very subtle and is really tasty. I have made it several times and will continue to make it. Really good."View RecipeAdvertisementAdvertisement17 of 20
