Queen Máxima (pictured) of The Netherlands has once again ensured all eyes on her, donning a lavish grey lace outfit during an appearance in Vienna today. The 51-year-old Dutch royal is currently on a three-day state visit of Austria with her husband King Willem-Alexander, 55 (pictured). Today they visited a community cooking project at Brotfabrik, a former bread factory which has been turned into a social enterprise featuring art displays as well offering other cultural and education initiatives. During the trip, Máxima donned a very glamorous grey ensemble, matching a one-shouldered lack gown with an elegant hat in matching fabric
Can YOU spot four women? Only 2% of people can see multiple figures in this mind-boggling optical illusion
The image was shared by Ukrainian artist Oleg Shupliak, who creates optical illusion works using painting, photography, graphics, illustration and animation. It features four women but they are not all easy to find… so it might take you a while to spot them all. The image seems to show one woman with long and thick hair but there are in fact another three hidden away.
LOL
That’s one way to get attention! Hilarious snaps reveal lost and found posters will make you take a second glance
Hightally has rounded up a selection of the most hilarious Lost & Found posters from around the world. One shows a cat who is trying to move into a new home, that is not his owners’. Another features Lionel Ritchie (left) asking if it’s ‘me you’re looking for.’ Meanwhile, a woman in London set out her stall looking for a Ryan Gosling-esque boyfriend (right).

The 96-year-old, who has cut back on public engagements due to mobility issues, is in Edinburgh and was all smiles as she took part in the historic Ceremony of the Keys – the traditional opener to Holyrood week for the Royals. She has been joined by her youngest son, Edward, and his wife, Sophie, known as the Earl and Countess of Forfar while they are in Scotland, for the event, which is taking place at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The ceremony sees the monarch handed the keys of the city and welcomed to her ‘ancient and hereditary kingdom of Scotland’. Her Majesty ‘hopes’ to carry a out several engagements – and will meet Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon during her stay. The trip comes after the recent Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the Queen, in which she pledged to continue to do her job ‘to the best of my ability supported by my family’.

This morning at 7am I opened the curtains and expected to see the sun!
I looked twice at the clouds, some where blue and normal some were black!
They were not all black but had a ding of pink!
Mentioned this to Husband he thinks they are from the Volcano that was erupting but that is over the Pacific I said!
Yes he replied; so these black clouds have traveled from the Pacific over the Atlantic and have also now crossed the Indian Ocean! This is a worry and also shows what the weather pattern is doing for our crazy weather.
Has anyone else noticed black clouds that are not rain clouds?
