The 36-year-old, from Northern Ireland, is only the fourth player to become a back-to-back champion - joining the elite group of Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods - and matches Faldo's tally of six majors. His win topped a nailbiting final day of making up ground after losing a record-breaking six-shot lead heading into the weekend at Augusta National in Georgia. In a final round where three players had a two-shot lead, McIlroy seized control with a bold shot over Rae's Creek to 7 feet for birdie on the par-3 12th. The world number 2 then blistered a 350-yard drive on the par-5 13th that set up another birdie to move three shots ahead. There were a few shaky moments but McIlroy posted a one-under 71 to finish on 12 under, one ahead of Scottie Scheffler, with Tyrrell Hatton's brilliant final-round 66 putting him in third spot alongside Justin Rose, Cameron Young and Russell Henley. With victory secured, McIlroy looked up at the sky and screamed before hugging his ​caddie Harry Diamond. McIlroy now takes the coveted green jacket, presented to all winners, for the second time. The last consecutive US Masters wins were more than 20 years ago, with Woods winning the competition in 2001 and 2002. Before that, Faldo did the double and in 1989 and '90, while Nicklaus was the first in '65 and '66. Speaking after his victory at the official presentation, McIlroy said: "My parting message last year was 'I can't wait to come back next year and put the Green Jacket on myself'. "I wasn't quite correct, because the chairman did it, but I did want to come back and prove that last year wasn't a fluke. "This is an absolutely incredible golf tournament, so unique in so many ways. "The Masters continues to be the shining light of the majors, and I'm so honoured and thrilled to win for the second time." 'More and more a LEGEND!' Donald Trump congratulated McIlroy on "another Great Championship". Writing on his Truth Social platform, the US president said: "He performed tremendously under intense pressure, something which few people would be able to even think about doing. With each year, Rory is becoming more and more a LEGEND!" Speaking to Sky Sports, Faldo said: "All credit to him. Incredible. He's got another major to his name. "All he needs now is to win another US Open and another Open Championship and then he'll be a two-time grand slam champion. "That's his goal. To get there along with the likes of Jack (Nicklaus) and Tiger (Woods). "He's unique. Rory is the only one out of those guys to go 11 years between wins, and then he's added another one."

Beloved West End show Paddington The Musical picked up seven prizes at the ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall, including best new musical, best director, and best actor in a musical as a joint prize for James Hameed, who provides the voice and remote puppetry, and Arti Shah, who brings the bear to life on stage. Hosted by comedian, actor and Celebrity Traitors star Nick Mohammed, this year's Olivier Awards marked the 50th anniversary of the ceremony, which celebrates the best in British theatre. US star Zegler - who made headlines for a stunning Evita performance that took the song Don't Cry For Me Argentina out to crowds on the street outside the London Palladium - was named best actress in a musical, while British star Pike was named best actress for her role in Inter Alia at the National Theatre, which marked her return to the stage after almost 14 years. Other prizes included supporting awards for Paapa Essiedu for All My Sons, and Julie Hesmondhalgh for Punch. Punch, by James Graham, based on the true story of an impulsive punch that leads to fatal consequences, was also named best new play, while All My Sons, starring Bryan Cranston and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, won the award for best revival. And other prizes for Paddington included awards for costume and set design, as well as supporting acting prizes in the musicals category. The production has received rave reviews since opening towards the end of 2025. Paddington's guardians Speaking to Sky News before the awards, Shah and Hameed said it was "humbling" to be part of a show that has been well received by audiences and critics alike. "Between us we bring Paddington to life and act as his guardians," Hameed said. "Often we can read each other's minds. From the beginning we got on really well and bounced ideas off each other, and we just get to play!" McFly star Tom Fletcher, who wrote the music and lyrics, said: "What's really magical, you see a whole new generation experiencing Paddington now - seeing everyone from seven-year-olds to 97-year-olds and beyond coming to the theatre and sharing our show is just magic. I feel very lucky I get to be a part of this very special show." Jessica Swale, who wrote the musical's book, said: "Even though we were given a huge mountain of expectation, because Paddington's so beloved already...having the chance to put him on stage, we could suddenly use all the things we have available in the theatre which are so magic - choreography and music and dance and lights and having a live audience." While the West End welcomed a record-breaking 17.64 million people last year, beating Broadway, over a third of organisations say they still expect to operate at a deficit this year. Oliviers host Nick Mohammed told Sky News: "I think it is important we recognise the power of the arts, and it's important we don't price certain communities out." All My Sons star Cranston said the re-telling of Arthur Miller's 1947 tragedy, often seen as an anti-war play, had attracted audiences from all over the world. "Art should always reflect society's issues in the moment, it has to make a connection to what's happening now in some way, otherwise it just feels nostalgic and something people don't feel they have any relationship to," he said.

It is part of wider efforts to modernise how the government is reaching voters and combat inflammatory far-right content spreading online. Ministers have seen research which shows communications from government department social media channels are only reaching 2% of the public. At the same time, far-right political content regularly ends up in the list of top five news stories that reach users each week on the "big 5" platforms - YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X. The research has concerned Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister, who was tasked with modernising how Whitehall operates when he was appointed to the new role in September. The cabinet minister wants to ensure the government is showing up where people are increasingly getting their news so they aren't left to "conspiracy theorists and keyboard warriors", a source close to him told Sky News. YouTube has been identified as being particularly important, following a study in February which showed TV is now the most popular device to watch YouTube on across all age groups. The source added: "Government is out of date in so many ways. The system needs a shake to get in better tech across the public sector and get rid of pointless paper forms and bureaucracy. "But it also means modernising the way the government communicates with the public. We can't abandon the internet to the clutches of conspiracy theorists and keyboard warriors." Some departments already have their own YouTube channels. However over the course of the next year, the government intends to funnel more video content through a central UK government YouTube channel to maximise audience building, rather than having a huge array of different individual channels run by departments and arms-length bodies, without much reach. Video content on this central channel is expected to feature influencers and everyday people with real voices rather than government ministers. The videos will promote new government services on offer, such as apprenticeships and digital ID, rather than political messaging, which is the role of Labour Party communications. Creative decisions will rest with the New Media Unit (NMU), which is headed by Sir Keir Starmer's director of digital communications, Caitlin Roper. The NMU was set up after Labour took office and is being expanded in order to produce more content in house, with a bigger budget and headcount, Sky News has learnt. Read more from Faye Brown:Ban on 'barely legal' contentElectricity and gas bills reform Recent work includes placing ads about the NHS on Spotify playlists used by the target audience, and a Cost of Living campaign using paid creator content which is said to have reached an audience of 1.3 million. However Labour MPs remain concerned that the government is failing to communicate what it has achieved and what it stands for. Few are in denial that May's local elections could be a "bloodbath" with Sir Keir Starmer's personal unpopularity remaining a big barrier. The prime minister set up a TikTok account last year and has recently launched a "With Keir" series answering questions put to him on social media from the public, in a bid to boost his image. These were done by Number 10's digital team whereas the NMU sits in the Cabinet Office. These reforms are part of efforts by Mr Jones to bring the Cabinet Office and Number 10 closer together. The NMU's aim is to take a more centralised approach to overall government communications for more cohesive story telling, amid concern dozens of different departments are doing different things under their own branding. Mr Jones works closely with David Dinsmore, the former editor of The Sun who was controversially brought in as a senior civil servant to develop a new government communications strategy last year. A government spokesperson said: "Today's media landscape is unrecognisable compared to even a decade ago. Government Communications must change with that to ensure people get reliable information on the platforms they use."

McIlroy built a historic six-stroke halfway lead but found himself two behind early in a dramatic final round, where playing partner Cameron Young and then Justin Rose - the man he beat to play-off victory 12 months ago - both enjoyed stints in top spot. The defending champion responded with back-to-back birdies from the seventh and added successive gains from the 12th to briefly go three ahead, only for Rose and Scottie Scheffler to close and set up a thrilling finish.

Key dates in 2026Get Sky Sports or stream golf with no contract McIlroy avoided a repeat of last year's late stumble (squandering a four-shot lead before completing the career Grand Slam) 12 months on as he took a two-shot lead to the 72nd hole before closing out a narrow win with a two-putt bogey. The world No 2 posted a one-under 71 to finish on 12 under, one ahead of Scheffler, with Tyrrell Hatton's brilliant final-round 66 putting him in third spot alongside Rose, Young and Russell Henley. Victory sees McIlroy join Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo and Woods as players to win consecutive editions of The Masters, while the 36-year-old is now just the 15th man in history to claim six or more major titles. How McIlroy made more Masters history McIlroy avoided a repeat of last year's opening-hole double-bogey but fell behind when Young birdied the par-five second, then responded with a sublime up and down from the greenside bunker to take advantage of the driveable third. Young suddenly jumped two ahead when McIlroy pulled his tee shot at the par-three fourth and three-putted from inside 10 feet for double bogey, while both players bogeyed the par-three sixth to condense an already bunched leaderboard. Rose - playing two groups ahead - started three back and fell further behind with a bogey at the third, before producing a run of three consecutive birdies from the sixth and jumping into the solo lead. Young failed to get up and down from the sand at the seventh and saw Rose double his lead with a 15-foot birdie at the ninth, only for McIlroy and Young to both respond by taking advantage of the par-five eighth. McIlroy burned a six-foot birdie chance at the ninth but found himself tied for the lead when Rose bogeyed the 11th, before taking a firm grip of the tournament with an impressive stretch around Amen Corner. The world No 2 holed an eight-foot birdie at the par-three 12th, where Rose had misjudged a chip and made bogey, before a brilliantly-judged two-putt from off the back of the 13th green moved him three ahead with five holes to play. McIlroy had to lay up from the trees on his way to a par at the 15th and scrambled pars over the next two holes, then overcame a late scare when his drive on the last hole headed towards the trees. He found the front greenside bunker with his second and pitched out to 15 feet, giving him two putts for victory - with a final-hole bogey for the second successive year not enough to prevent McIlroy from winning another major title. "I just can't believe I waited 17 years to get one Green Jacket and I get two in a row," McIlroy said. "I think all of my perseverance at this golf tournament over the years has really started to pay off. It was a tough weekend. I did the bulk of my work on Thursday and Friday. But just so, so happy to hang in there and get the job done." Scheffler carded a bogey-free 68 to finish runner-up, having gone into the weekend 12 strokes behind McIlroy, while Rose - a three-time runner-up at The Masters - cancelled out a birdie at the 15th with a penultimate-hole bogey to narrowly miss out again. Young posted a final-round 73 to fall short in his bid to become the third consecutive golfer to win The Players and The Masters. Shane Lowry stumbled to a final-round 80 to drop from two strokes back to tied-30th. What's next?

The changes, subject to a nine-week consultation from Monday, will see schools barred from offering "unhealthy" foods like sausage rolls and pizza every day, desserts restricted, and fried foods banned. Instead, schools will be required to offer more higher-fibre wholegrains, such as wholemeal bread, brown pasta, and rice, and a portion of vegetables or salad alongside every main meal. The aim is to reduce the number of obese children - one in three are leaving primary school overweight or obese, and tooth decay from high-sugar diets is the leading cause of hospital admissions for kids aged five to nine. According to a poll conducted by the Department for Education last week, 74% of parents have at least one concern about their child's nutrition, with the biggest worries expressed around their child eating too much sugar (43%), having a varied enough diet (30%), and getting enough fruit and vegetables (30%). Read more:Man charged over student deathEamonn Holmes suffers stroke To ensure the changes are made, ministers are also developing a new "robust national enforcement system" that will monitor schools' compliance, expected to be in place from September 2027 - although secondary schools will have a further year to make the changes. The government's plans have received backing from food campaigners, charities and nutritional experts, including actor and Food Foundation ambassador Dame Emma Thompson, who said she is "thrilled". "School meals are a golden opportunity to support children's health, learning and wellbeing - and getting this right means children across the country can truly thrive," she said. "This is a landmark moment for families, for the NHS, and for the future of our young people." Chef and campaigner Jamie Oliver also endorsed the plans, saying he is "delighted" with the proposed changes. "Twenty years ago, dog food had higher standards than school dinners. I've been banging the drum ever since because I refuse to accept our kids being fed anything less than proper, nourishing meals," he continued. "School food is the UK's most important restaurant chain. From September, during term-time schools will provide two-thirds of a child's daily diet - a massive opportunity to improve health at scale. My Good School Food Awards prove that world-class meals are possible right now, and every child deserves that same quality. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson described the plans as "the most ambitious overhaul of school food in a generation", saying: "Every child deserves to have delicious, nutritious food at school that gives them the energy to concentrate, learn and thrive." The announcement comes as over 500 new free breakfast clubs will open in primary schools this month, in addition to the 750 schools already offering one, which the government says will save parents up to £450 a year.

Bhosle died on Sunday of multiple organ failure at a private hospital in Mumbai, a doctor at the facility said. In a social media post on Saturday, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle had said the singer had been suffering from exhaustion and a chest infection. The singer's death sparked tributes from the worlds of politics and showbiz, with India's prime minister Narendra Modi writing on X that Bhosle's voice "carried timeless brilliance". "Her extraordinary ‌musical journey, spanning decades, enriched our cultural heritage and touched countless hearts across the world," he said. Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman wrote on Instagram: "She lives forever with her voice and aura. What an artist." Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar said Bhosle's death marked "a deeply sad day for India, and for music lovers across the world". "Words feel too small for the loss we feel," he continued. "One moment the heart falls silent, and the next, it drifts through the countless melodies she gifted all of us. "It feels as though time itself has paused. Yet through her eternal songs, she will remain timeless forever." "She always had a personality in the songs she sang," Indian actress Kajol said. "We as actors were always coming up short trying to give to the camera what she could express in her voice. "The only word that comes to mind to describe her is magnificent. Now and forever." India's president Droupadi Murmu said Bhosle's death had "created a huge void in the world of music". She continued: "Her legendary career as an iconic singer has defined an era of music in India. "I have fond memories of having interacted with her personally. "She led her life on her own terms as an artist and as an individual." Read more from Sky News:The Scottish rappers who fooled the music industryHip-hop pioneer dies Bhosle - the younger sister of another iconic singer, Lata Mangeshkar, who died in 2022 - enjoyed a decades-spanning career, embracing cabaret and Western-influenced melodies to forge a distinct musical identity. She recorded around 12,000 songs which featured in hundreds of films, including 1966's Teesri Manzil and the 1971 blockbuster Caravan. Bhosle was nominated for two Grammys and awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke award - India's top arts award and second-highest civilian honour. The star influenced the UK charts too, as she was the inspiration for Britpop band Cornershop's hit 1997 single Brimful of Asha.

McIlroy held the largest 36-hole lead in tournament history but slipped into a share of the lead heading into the final day, where he recovered from falling two behind to produce another dramatic success. The world No 2 trailed playing partner Cameron Young and Justin Rose - the player he edged out in a play-off to complete the Grand Slam last year - at various points during the final round, where McIlroy posted back-to-back birdies from the seventh to get back on track. The Masters LIVE: Final round as it happenedFinal leaderboard from Augusta NationalWhen are the majors? Key dates in 2026Get Sky Sports or stream golf with no contract McIlroy added further birdies around Amen Corner to move three ahead with five to play, then closed out an impressive victory despite bogeying his 72nd hole for a second successive year. Victory saw McIlroy match Sir Nick Faldo's tally of six major titles and sees him become just the fourth to win back-to-back editions of The Masters, following on from Jack Nicklaus, Faldo and Tiger Woods. "I can't believe I waited 17 years to get one Green Jacket and I get two in a row," McIlroy said. "I think all of my perseverance at this golf tournament over the years has really started to pay off. It was a tough weekend. I did the bulk of my work on Thursday and Friday. But just so, so happy to hang in there and get the job done." McIlroy's final-round 71 included five birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey, with plenty of players in contention during a special major Sunday. Here's a hole-by-hole look at how McIlroy closed out another major success… Hole one Young opened with a two-putt par after finding the fairway bunker off the tee. McIlroy hit two good shots into the green but missed a 10-foot birdie chance, with a par two strokes better than he managed to start his final round last year. Burns, playing in the group ahead, found a first-hole birdie to make it a three-way tie at the top. Score: -11 Young, McIlroy, Burns (1) Hole two McIlroy had to lay up from the fairway bunker but hit a wedge to within 10 feet for his third shot. Young's pitch over a bunker trickled to 11 feet and set up the birdie, which gave him the solo lead when McIlroy failed to convert his effort. Burns had undone his fast start after finding trees off the tee and posting a double-bogey seven. Score: -12 Young, -11 McIlroy, -9 Burns (2) Hole three Young capitalised on an unbelievable break off the tee, where his ball hit a tree and cannoned back onto the fairway, as he posted a two-putt par. McIlroy splashed out of the sand to eight feet and made his first birdie of the round. Score: -12 Young, -12 McIlroy Hole four McIlroy pulled his tee shot left of the green and hit a good chip over the bunker to nine feet, where a three-putt double-bogey dropped him back to 10 under. Young two-putted from the front of the green and jumped two clear. Score: -12 Young, -10 McIlroy Hole five Young missed the green in regulation but holed a two-putt par, as McIlroy also made par to remain two behind. Further along the course, Henley posted back-to-back birdies from the seventh - where Rose hit an unbelievable approach from the trees to set up a kick-In birdie - to leave both tied-second with McIlroy. Score: -12 Young, -10 McIlroy, -10 Henley (8), -10 Rose (7) Hole six Young carded a three-putt bogey from 70 feet - having left his initial putt six feet short - to fall back to 11 under and just one ahead of Henley and Rose. McIlroy went long and elected to putt from off the green, then missed his 12-footer to save par. Score: -11 Young, -10 Henley (9), -10 Rose (7), -9 McIlroy Hole seven Young finished in the front bunker from the middle of the fairway, then failed to get up and down - missing from 10 feet - to register a second successive bogey and lose his share of the lead. McIlroy closed the gap on his playing partner when a solid iron shot set up an eight-foot birdie, as Rose, two groups ahead, birdied the par-five eighth and moved into the outright advantage. Score: -11 Rose (8), -10 McIlroy, -10 Young Hole eight McIlroy walked after his ball after reaching the par-five green in two, where a two-putt birdie from 25 feet lifted him to 11 under. Young also picked up a shot to sit alongside McIlroy, as Rose rolled in a 15-foot birdie at the ninth to reach the turn in 32 and stay one ahead. Score: -12 Rose (9), -11 Young, -11 McIlroy Hole nine Young had to pitch out of the pines after a wayward drive and saw his ball roll into a divot, with the American eventually having to produce a smart two-putt and limit the damage to a bogey. He dropped to tied-third alongside Hatton, who had charged up the leaderboard after four consecutive birdies from the 13th, as McIlroy failed to capitalise on a brilliant approach as he missed a six-foot chance for a third consecutive birdie. Score: -12 Rose (10), -11 McIlroy, 10 Young, -10 Hatton (17) Hole 10 A regulation two-putt par from McIlroy to start the second nine was enough to reclaim a share of the lead, as Rose finished short of the par-four 11th green and failed to get up and down. Henley also made par and stayed in the group one back. Score: -11 Rose (11), -11 McIlroy, -10 Young, -10 Henley (13), -10 Hatton (F) Hole 11 Rose misjudged a pitch from the back of the 12th green and eventually had to get down in two to salvage a bogey, allowing McIlroy to reclaim the solo lead when he holed from eight feet at the 11th for par. Young also two-putted for par to remain on 10 under. Score: -11 McIlroy, -10 Young, -10 Henley (14), -10 Hatton (F) Hole 12 McIlroy fired a brilliant tee shot to within eight feet at the iconic par-three and holed the putt for birdie, which doubled his lead when Young failed to match his effort from a few feet further away. Score: -12 McIlroy, -10 Young, -10 Rose (13), -10 Henley (15), -10 Hatton (F) Hole 13 A second successive birdie extended McIlroy's advantage, as he brilliantly judged a downhill two-putt from off the green. He converted from 10 feet to get to 13 under and three clear of Young, who burned his birdie chance from the same distance. Score: -13 McIlroy, -10 Young, -10 Rose (14), -10 Henley (16), -10 Hatton (F) Hole 14 McIlroy posted a stress-free par and Young also stayed on the same score, although his lead was reduced when Scheffler birdied the par-three 15th and Rose took advantage of the par-five 15th. Scores: -13 McIlroy, -11 Scheffler (16), -11 Rose (15), -10 Young Hole 15 McIlroy was blocked out by a tree and forced to lay up, with his wedge shot narrowly clearing the water and allowing him to two-putt for par. Young was unable to get up and down from the back of the green and stated three behind. Scores: -13 McIlroy, -11 Scheffler (17), -11 Rose (16), -10 Young Hole 16 A long tee shot left a tricky up and down from the back of the green for McIlroy, who judged the break perfectly to leave a close-range par. Young hit his tee shot to within 15 feet but saw his birdie putt horseshoe out. In the group ahead, Rose saw his slim hopes ended when he missed a close-range putt to save par. Scores: -13 McIlroy, -11 Scheffler (F), -10 Rose (17), 10 Young Hole 17 McIlroy's approach from the middle of the 17th fairway bounces off the green, although he safely two-putted from off the green to retain his two-shot buffer to the 72nd hole. Scores: -13 McIlroy, -11 Scheffler (F) 10 Young Hole 18 Final-hole drama looked a possibility when McIlroy found trees off the tee, leaving him having to move patrons to hit his approach towards the front of the green. The ball finished in the greenside bunker and a smart chip ran 15-feet past, with McIlroy lagging to within three inches and tapping in to complete victory. Final scores: -12 McIlroy, -11 Scheffler, -10 Young, Henley, Rose, Hatton What did McIlroy say? Speaking about how his win compared to last year, McIlroy said: "It felt pretty similar. I made a double early on the first hole last year and I made a double on four this year. I played flawless golf after that. "I made four birdies and no bogeys going to the last tee knowing that I had a two-shot lead. It's nice to have that two-shot cushion instead of the one like I had last year. "I looked at the board after I made the bogey on six and I think I went back to nine under at that point. I said 'okay, if I can get to 14 under, I think I've got a really good chance of winning this tournament'. I didn't quite get there, but 13 under was good enough standing on the 18th tee."
