| Dear reader,
Welcome to From the Editor, my twice weekly selection of the very best of our award-winning journalism, hand-picked for valued registrants like you.
As we all contemplate more time spent separated from our friends and loved ones, we could do with less maudlin coverage from TV news, writes Allison Pearson in her column. Here she explains that we all need the things that make life worth living.
Capt Tom Moore, who has now raised a remarkable 30 million for the NHS, has been made an honorary colonel to mark his 100th birthday. The Second World War veteran has witnessed an extraordinary century in human history, and Luke Mintz documents Capt Moore’s own personal journey through it.
When looking at the countries that are leading the way during this pandemic, there are many factors that seem to be at play. As Jennifer Rigby, Sarah Newey and Dominic Gilbert write, might having a female leader be one of them?
Not many details are known about the Queen's experience of the Second World War, but that may change this autumn when the diaries of Alathea Fitzalan Howard, the young aristocrat who spent six years at Windsor with the Queen and her sister, are published. Matthew Dennison has a sneak preview here.
