* Bewhiskered Charlie Saville, of Great Tey, has won the National Beard and Moustache Championships.

* Tax-payer funded iPads could be given to Colchester councillors at a cost of £24,000. However, the move has been slammed by the opposing Tory group which says there are better things to spend money on.

* A mum whose weight plummeted to 4 st 7lbs has thanked the charity which has helped her on the road to recovery.
