Oliver Hides your calls on children taking holidays during the school term, cycling in Wales and the Bayeux Tapestry.

Should parents be fined for taking their children on holiday during the school term? A family from Devon has been fined £480 for taking their four children out of school for a trip to Gran Canaria. However, mum Charlotte Crouch called the decision a "no-brainer" as she made a saving of £2,500.

Tour de France race leader Tadej Pogačar smashed the time record yesterday on one of the toughest climbs in cycling, the Col du Tourmalet. But in a year’s time, he will be taking on an altogether different challenge – the peaks of Caerphilly and the Rhigos. With one year to go until Le Tour arrives in Wales, the Welsh Government has set out plans to establish the country as one of the world’s leading cycling tourism destinations. What do you think needs to happen to make this dream a reality?

And the Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in the UK, for the first time since it is believed to have been created here nearly 1,000 years ago. Chaperoned from a secret location in northern France by a police guard, it was driven into a loading bay at the British Museum, which will put it on display in September. The 70-metre-long embroidery depicts the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Do you think it’s worth seeing exhibits like the Bayeux Tapestry up close and personal?
