    Chris Argent was a larger-than-life character in Weymouth who dressed and performed as Freddie Mercury when he hit the town.

    BBC Radio Solent reporter Laurence Herdman posted on social media about him, having seen the new film Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Lots of people commented on the post which appeared coincidentally on what would have been Chris' birthday.

    It was seen by his daughter Kirsty Sainsbury-Argent who was overwhelmed by the heart-warming tributes and stories that unfolded about her dad.

    Volunteers were given stencils and rakes to create the large-scale images including one in Weymouth of Sergeant Stanley Robert McDougall, who was in the Australian Imperial Force.

    The faces were later washed away by the incoming tide.

    The boss of the South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secamb) is to leave the troubled trust after less than two years in the post.

    Daren Mochrie was appointed chief executive in April 2017, seven months after the service was put into special measures.

    He is to leave at the end of March to take up a post at the North West Ambulance Service.

    His departure will leave staff uncertain about the future of a trust that serves nearly five million people across Brighton and Hove, East and West Sussex, Kent, Surrey, and North East Hampshire.

    Last week, a Care Quality Commission report questioned whether recent improvements were sustainable.

    The trust has been struggling for the past few years.

    In May 2016 its then chief executive, Paul Sutton, resigned after he was found to have authorised a covert policy which delayed sending help for some emergency call-outs.

    Later that year it was put in special measures - rated inadequate by the Care Quality Commission with the reasons including putting patients at risk.

    Then in August 2017, an independent review revealed the trust had a culture of bullying and harassment - with concerns over "toxic" atmospheres.
