Prompt: The disabled pensioner who received donations from around the world after being beaten by a drug addict outside his home has got the keys to a new house. Alan Barnes, who is partially sighted and just 4ft 6in tall, was left too scared to return to his home in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear earlier this year after he was knocked to the ground by mugger Richard Gatiss. The crime shocked Britain and led to a fund being set up by local beautician Katie Cutler, 21, which raised £330,000. Mr Barnes, 67, was today handed the keys to his new two-bedroom terrace house where he says he will feel safer. Disabled pensioner Alan Barnes picked up the keys for his new home today after strangers raised £300,000 . Mr Barnes said it felt 'fantastic' to be in his new home as he showed off its modern kitchen . The 67-year-old said that he felt safer in the two-bedroom terraced property which he was able to buy after receiving donations from around the world . 'It's fantastic to finally be in the house after all this time,' he said. 'I was living a bit further up the hill before but this house is better and more handy when I need to go the Co-op and the shops. 'I haven't shown Katie the house yet but I'm looking forward to telling her about it. 'It's lovely to have my independence back. I'm looking forward to seeing the locals again and having a chat with them.' The £150,000 property boasts two bedrooms, a spacious living room, modern kitchen and large bathroom. It also has an outside barbecue area for entertaining and is just a short walk from the local shops of his native Low Fell, Gateshead. Mr Barnes now plans to use the remainder of the donated money to furnish his new home. The Victorian terrace is a far cry from his previous address, a sparse one-bed bungalow with no garden. Mr Barnes said that it was 'lovely to get his independence back' after picking up the keys to his new home . Mr Barnes said he was 'looking forward' to telling beautician Katie Cutler, who launched the fund, all about his new home . Mr Barnes said he was 'grateful' to everyone who helped him get the property, including Miss Cutler, pictured . 'I'm about 15 minutes away from my other house but it's down lots of different streets and turns as well,' said the pensioner. 'I think I'll go for a walk tonight round the area and get my bearings again. 'I've had a couple of visitors and my sister brought me over today, to help me move in. It has been a busy day. 'I'm very grateful still to everyone who helped me get this house, especially Katie. 'I'm glad I've put the money to good use. 'I haven't spent it all in case I need some extra to refurbish the house.' Mr Barnes, who was born with disabilities after his mother contracted German measles while she was pregnant, had previously told of his plans to move near Ms Cutler. He wanted to make sure the pair, who have become close friends since the incident, could stay in touch. Richard Gatiss, 25, was jailed for four years at Newcastle Crown Court for targeting Mr Barnes . 'I considered where Katie lives but after thinking about it there's two reasons I haven't,' he said. 'One was I would've had to depend on my family to do things and I didn't know if Katie would be moving somewhere else so I thought just take this option and go to Low Fell.' He also revealed dreams of going on a break to Barbados. Earlier this month Richard Gatiss, 25, was jailed for four years at Newcastle Crown Court for targeting Mr Barnes to fund his addiction. During the attack in January, Gatiss crept up on Mr Barnes in a dark alley while the pensioner was putting his bin out. When he was arrested they found his DNA on his 67-year-old victim. Gatiss told police he was so desperate for drug money he would have 'targeted anyone'.

Prompt: Guilty: Glenn Mason, 56, has said he will pay back the whole £185,000 out of his RBS pension pot . A respected NatWest bank manager who was jailed for stealing £185,000 from his elderly customers to fund his internet gambling addiction will have to pay back every penny. Glenn Mason, 56, plundered the accounts of nine pensioners including an 83 year-old woman and a 92 year-old man living near his branch in Biggin Hill, Kent, the Old Bailey heard. Mason, who was given an award by the Metropolitan Police in Bromley in 2009 for his crime fighting efforts, got away with the thefts for almost a year before his arrest in July 2012. His attempts to cover up his crime by transferring money using the identity of two of his colleagues, Julie Jeffrey, 50, and James Cato, 35, led to them being sacked and charged with fraud. It was only when Mason pleaded guilty in September that the case against them was dropped at the Old Bailey. Mason, who was jailed for 15 months in November last year, has said he will pay back the whole £185,000 out of his RBS pension pot. The bank has already refunded the customers targeted by Mason, and will receive the money as compensation. ‘The benefit was £185,000 and the recoverable amount is greater than that so the available amount will be the same’, said prosecutor David Hughes. ‘The loser here ultimately was RBS - they had to reimburse the account holders.’ Mr Hughes said the bank had started civil proceedings against Mason, as well as the compensation claim that comes after a criminal conviction. ‘If he makes a payment from his pension pot to RBS then that would deal with these proceedings and they would come to an end.’ Mason, who sobbed in the dock as he was jailed, did not appear in court for today’s hearing. Judge Stephen Kramer QC will confirm the money has been paid at a short hearing on May 15. At his sentencing hearing, Andrew Lawson, representing Mason, said the bank manager turned to gambling after his teenage son was injured by a roadside bomb while fighting with British troops in Afghanistan. Mr Lawson said that all of the stolen money was paid into his gambling account and told the court: ‘It was late night poker and online games that are designed to tempt you into spending money in the hope of a big win.’ The court also heard statements from two of Mason’s victims, Julie Amos and Leslie Pilditch, who both said they no longer felt able to trust banks. Julie Jeffrey also described how she lost her job after her arrest and added: ‘I no longer feel proud, my life has fallen apart.’ Mason's actions took place at Natwest in Biggin Hill (pictured). The bank manager was said to have turned to gambling after his teenage son was injured by a roadside bomb while fighting  in Afghanistan . Elaine May, the current manager of the NatWest Biggin Hill branch, also said in a statement that the thefts had ‘an ongoing impact within the community’ and put strain upon the staff. Mason continues to live in the area with his wife and son and has been working in a local newsagents. The judge, Mr Recorder Simon Farrell QC, told him: ‘You stole roughly £185,000 over a period of a year from nine victims who were all elderly and undoubtedly vulnerable. ‘Your fellow worker Julie Jeffrey, who was falsely arrested because you used her ID details to steal the money, described how, having worked for NatWest since the age of 16, losing her job as a 50 year-old woman and being reduced to delivery leaflets in all weathers. ‘Plainly these are very serious offences which everyone agrees cross the custody threshold. ‘You are of previous good character and someone who has suffered considerable personal tragedy. ‘Your wife suffered from cancer in 2005 and your son at only 19 went to Afghanistan to fight for his country and was the victim of an improvised explosive device that caused him very serious injury. ‘I accept this caused you to develop a serious gambling addiction which was in fact the root cause of stealing the money from customers. ‘In my judgement I am afraid these matters are so serious that I am not able to suspend the sentence. The best I can do is to pass a sentence of 15 months imprisonment. But for your personal mitigation this sentence would have been far longer.’ Mason, of Flamborough Close, Biggin Hill, pleaded guilty to a single charge of fraud. The case against Jeffrey, of Court Road, Orpington, Kent, and Cato, of Robert Street, Plumstead, south London, was discontinued by the prosecution.

Judge Stephen Kramer QC will confirm the money has been paid at a short hearing on May 15. At his sentencing hearing, Andrew Lawson, representing Mason, said the bank manager turned to gambling after his teenage son was injured by a roadside bomb while fighting with British troops in Afghanistan. Mr Lawson said that all of the stolen money was paid into his gambling account and told the court: ‘It was late night poker and online games that are designed to tempt you into spending money in the hope of a big win.’ The court also heard statements from two of Mason’s victims, Julie Amos and Leslie Pilditch, who both said they no longer felt able to trust banks. Julie Jeffrey also described how she lost her job after her arrest and added: ‘I no longer feel proud, my life has fallen apart.’ Mason's actions took place at Natwest in Biggin Hill (pictured). The bank manager was said to have turned to gambling after his teenage son was injured by a roadside bomb while fighting  in Afghanistan . Elaine May, the current manager of the NatWest Biggin Hill branch, also said in a statement that the thefts had ‘an ongoing impact within the community’ and put strain upon the staff. Mason continues to live in the area with his wife and son and has been working in a local newsagents. The judge, Mr Recorder Simon Farrell QC, told him: ‘You stole roughly £185,000 over a period of a year from nine victims who were all elderly and undoubtedly vulnerable. ‘Your fellow worker Julie Jeffrey, who was falsely arrested because you used her ID details to steal the money, described how, having worked for NatWest since the age of 16, losing her job as a 50 year-old woman and being reduced to delivery leaflets in all weathers. ‘Plainly these are very serious offences which everyone agrees cross the custody threshold. ‘You are of previous good character and someone who has suffered considerable personal tragedy. ‘Your wife suffered from cancer in 2005 and your son at only 19 went to Afghanistan to fight for his country and was the victim of an improvised explosive device that caused him very serious injury. ‘I accept this caused you to develop a serious gambling addiction which was in fact the root cause of stealing the money from customers. ‘In my judgement I am afraid these matters are so serious that I am not able to suspend the sentence. The best I can do is to pass a sentence of 15 months imprisonment. But for your personal mitigation this sentence would have been far longer.’ Mason, of Flamborough Close, Biggin Hill, pleaded guilty to a single charge of fraud. The case against Jeffrey, of Court Road, Orpington, Kent, and Cato, of Robert Street, Plumstead, south London, was discontinued by the prosecution.

Prompt: A Scottish castle commandeered by Winston Churchill to help prepare troops for the D-Day landings has gone on sale for £1.75million. The 19th century Castle Toward, near Dunoon, was used to ready soldiers for landing at a beach and was commissioned as HMS Brontosaurus in 1942. Overlooking the Clyde estuary and with easy access to the sloping shoreline, the castle was deemed an ideal training ground for thousands of British troops. Soldiers practised beach landings - complete with bombs, smokescreens and strafing fighters - jumping from landing craft and clambering up the beach in preparation for the events of June 6, 1944, in Normandy. For sale: Castle Toward, near Dunoon, which played a crucial but little-known role in defeating the Nazis, has gone on the market for £1.75m . Training ground: Overlooking the Clyde estuary and with easy access to the sloping shoreline, the castle was used as a training base for D-Day . Danger: The training at the grounds was very realistic and incredibly demanding - many servicemen were killing during exercises . Allied soldiers would spend a week of intensive training at the castle, which included swimming in full kit and daily exercises on the surrounding hills. Brontosaurus was visited by both Churchill and Supreme Allied Commander Lord Mountbatten during this time. The training was so realistic and demanding that many servicemen were killed in accidents. The castle's rich military history is still clear to see. One room is named after Churchill and the foundations of the huts built to accommodate visiting troops still stand in parts of the grounds. Preparations: The grounds of the 19th century castle on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute was used to ready troops for D-Day . Deep waters: Swimming training saw the forces jump off the pier and they then had to wade to shore in full military gear . Army base: Troops were stationed at the castle, where they trained off the coast of Scotland, in preparation for the D-Day landings of 1944 . Camp: With easy access to the sloping shoreline, Castle Toward was a perfect place to train troops in amphibious warfare . Historic: The D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, led to the liberation of France from Nazi control, and contributed to an Allied victory in the war . Timings: The Normandy landings were originally scheduled to take place in May - then postponed until June and put off again at the last minute for 24 hours due to bad weather . Across the UK, troops took part in various military exercises in preparation for D-Day. In late 1943 the war cabinet had agreed to the building of an assault training centre on the south Devon coast, and 3,000 civilians in six villages were ordered to leave their homes. The first large training exercises - on the south Devon coast at Slapton Sands – revealed communications problems, lack of mission comprehension, poor crisis management abilities and a general sense of chaos. On April 28, 1944, 749 US soldiers and sailors died after three ships involved in a training exercise were ambushed by German torpedo. Exercise Tiger was one of the biggest full-scale rehearsals before D-day, involving all 23,000 US soldiers who were planning to land on the Normandy beach codenamed Utah. Slapton Sands had been chosen because of its similarity to the French beach. Apart from the Devon and Scotland coastline, training also took place at Camp Gordon Johnston near Carrabelle, Florida. Mr Jepson, of the Combined Operations Association, said the troops stationed at the castle were planning for a return to mainland Europe. He said it was essential the different branches of the forces - army, navy and air - learned to work together for the return to France. He said: 'They had to start from scratch and start planning for the return to France. They started the combined service centres where they planned the actual landings. 'Of course they had very little to start off with. They developed various crafts and weapons.' Speaking about the conditions for the troops at Brontosaurus, he explained: 'They were under a lot of pressure. Sadly there were a lot of accidents and a lot of people were killed. 'With the ramp down they would jump into what they thought was shallow water and some drowned.' 'Swimming training would see them jump off the pier and swim to shore in full kit.' He said the RAF would at times fly over the Scottish beaches dropping bombs and smoke screens. 'It had to be as realistic as possible,' he said. 'It must have been an amazing site with the landing crafts, ships and tanks coming and going.' Talking about Castle Toward he said: 'It was ideal where it was. It's a beautiful building and historically important.' Castle Toward was built in 1820 by Kirkman Finlay, a former Lord Provost of Glasgow, as his family's country house. Following its use by the Allied Forces, the estate was bought by the Corporation of Glasgow in 1946 and was used as an educational facility. Its ownership passed to Argyll and Bute Council in 1996 after local government reorganisation and the authority has been trying to sell the estate for the past few years. It has only been put on the open market after plans for a community buyout were rejected by the council after it only offered £850,000. The castle includes 25 bedrooms, six reception rooms and extensive grounds with stunning views over the Cowal peninsula near Dunoon. On the market: The castle, which is being sold by estate agents, Baird Lumsden, contains 12 shower rooms and an observation tower . Historic: The castle offers stunning views over the Cowal peninsula near Dunoon and is set within 125 acres of land . Picturesque: The property enjoys fine views over the Clydeestuary towards the Isles of Bute, Arran and Cumbrae .

Prompt: Manchester City have decided to listen to offers for Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri this summer as the Barclays Premier League champions look to repair the damage of a disastrous title defence. City manager Manuel Pellegrini is under intense scrutiny following Sunday’s 4-2 defeat by neighbours Manchester United. But as the City board refuse to give up on their manager just yet the decision has been made to jettison high-profile players who the club believe have failed them. Manchester City have decided to listen to offers for Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure this summer . The Premier League champions are also open to allowing Samir Nasri leave the Etihad Stadium . Toure will be made available before his value in the market dwindles. Nasri, meanwhile, has barely played since his lame showing in the Champions League at Barcelona. Defender Aleksandar Kolarov and striker Edin Dzeko are also short of admirers within the club, while midfielder James Milner is out of contract this summer. Toure may be difficult to sell as he earns in excess of £1million a month. Pellegrini is vulnerable but may be saved by a relatively undemanding fixture list up to the end of the season and by the fact that City’s No 1 choice to replace him, Pep Guardiola, is contracted to Bayern Munich for another year. However, City fear captain Vincent Kompany will miss a few weeks of the run-in with a thigh injury.

Prompt: Paul Merson has restarted his row with Andros Townsend after the Tottenham midfielder was brought on with only seven minutes remaining in his team's 0-0 draw with Burnley on Sunday. 'Just been watching the game, did you miss the coach? #RubberDub #7minutes,' Merson put on Twitter. Merson initially angered Townsend for writing in his Sky Sports column that 'if Andros Townsend can get in (the England team) then it opens it up to anybody.'

'It's not as though I was watching hoping he wouldn't score for England, I'm genuinely pleased for him and fair play to him – it was a great goal,' Merson said. 'It's just a matter of opinion, and my opinion was that he got pulled off after half an hour at Manchester United in front of Roy Hodgson, so he shouldn't have been in the squad.

Prompt: Manchester United winger Ashley Young is adamant that the club will be challenging for the Premier League title once more next season. The Red Devils have endured two mixed campaigns following the retirement of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson in May 2013. After finishing seventh last season, their lowest position since in the Premier League era, United currently sit third in the table this term - 11 points behind leaders Chelsea. Manchester United winger Ashley Young believes the club will be challenging for the title next season . Despite their large deficit to the Blues, current United boss Louis van Gaal has restored some of the club's old vigour under Ferguson that was lost during David Moyes' ill-fated reign. Prior to their 1-0 defeat at Chelsea on April 18, the Old Trafford outfit had reeled off six successive league victories - including impressive triumphs over top four rivals Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City. And Young believes that after a slow start under Van Gaal the fruits of his labour are finally paying off at United - which will see the club compete for their first league title in three seasons, next year. 'You don't manage the team he has managed without having that big, bold personality. He wants to be successful. He wants every detail spot on,' Young said about the 63-year-old in an exclusive interview with the Guardian. The 29-year-old (right) has played a prominent role for United this season under Louis van Gaal . 'As players, you want to be challenged and that's exactly what he does; he challenges us every single day. It was always going to take time, but it is all starting to come together. 'If you look at the last run of games, even last week against Chelsea when on another day we would have scored two or three goals, we will definitely be back challenging for the title next season.' Young's United career has been revitalised under Van Gaal this season - with the 29-year-old playing a prominent role in the Dutchman's starting line-up. Young has praised Van Gaal's (right) managerial style and desire to bring back success to the club . The England international has combined brilliantly of late with Daley Blind and Maraoune Fellaini, down the left-hand side of the United team - something the former Aston Villa star admits he has relished. 'Thats's been brilliant, the three of us playing in those triangles and the same the other side with Antonio [Valencia], Ander [Herrera] and Juan [Mata],' Young added. 'There are some cool heads there, and a lot of players who are now playing with more composure, not scared to give each other the ball, or play it in tight spaces.' Young (front) also believes United are playing with more composure than they were at the start of the season .

Prompt: A grandfather who couldn't afford his own cruiser has come up with an innovative solution - putting his caravan on a boat and taking it out on the water. Peter Thurston, 80, takes his vessel, dubbed the 'catamavan', out on the River Swale in Kent regularly and enjoys the views of the countryside. He says his small yachts were too cramped for leisure cruising, and he couldn't buy a bigger vessel, so two years ago he built the caravan boat to take his mind off his recent divorce. Bizarre: This 'catamavan', a cross between a boat and a caravan, has been spotted on the River Swale in Kent . The catamavan has an oven, fridge freezer, shower, toilet, double bed and two tables, and it is fitted with a small engine that reaches four knots. Hundreds of two-litre bottles fill the twin hulls, so the boat won't sink even if it gets a hole as he travels up and down the same stretch of river. Mr Thurston said: 'I wanted something that had a nice, stable platform and was really comfortable because all my boats are quite cramped. 'I've got a number of yachts and if you have ever been in a yacht you will know that you can never see out the window. Project: Peter Thurston started building the unusual vessel while he was doing through a divorce . 'In the Swale you get lovely nights and mornings but sometimes it's a bit cold to sit outside and have a meal so you eat below deck and don't get any views. 'I couldn't afford a cabin cruiser, the sort of thing you need to have big windows and eat outside, so this was a better alternative because I didn't have to spend so much money and I could make it whatever size I wanted. 'I sleep on it regularly during the summer but in the winter it's quite cold, although I do check on it regularly.' Peter says he spent around £4,000 building the hull and added: 'Most of it was done flat pack at home. 'Then I took the catamaran down to the ship yard and we lifted the caravan onto it. 'It is not intended to go fast and it only has a small engine but it still goes about four knots. 'I also did it because when I was down at the harbour all day working on my boats it would give me somewhere to stay the night. 'You are allowed to anchor anywhere along the Swale unless it is a restricted area and there's nothing wrong in what I've done.' The father of four keeps the catamaran anchored in Conyer, Kent, which is 19 miles away from his home in Herne Bay. Mr Thurston said he started his project after the break-up of his marriage and began building the boat in his front garden before moving it to a local boatyard. 'I started building it as a bit of a distraction really,' he said. 'It gave me something to focus on because things weren't going well back home. Home: The catamavan cruises up and down the River Swale in Kent, near Mr Thurston's home . 'I used to build paragliders and para-motors and I have always worked on boats, but I wanted to do something a bit different.' A spokesman for the Marine and Coastguard Agency said it was unclear whether or not the vessel is legal, but added that it appears to be seaworthy. She said that officials would only investigate Mr Thurston if they receive an official complaint.

Prompt: The bereaved teenage son of a Tulsa man shot and killed by a 73-year-old volunteer deputy says his father's killer should have never been on a police force.
