Hollywood actor Will Smith has paid an emotional tribute to his former 'Fresh Prince' co-star James Avery.
New York has the Statue of Liberty, Rio de Janeiro has Christ the Redeemer, and now Nishan, China has a massive statue of Confucius. A 236 foot statue of the famous Chinese philosopher and writer Confucius was unveiled in his hometown of Nishan in eastern Shandong Province, becoming the tallest Confucius statue in the world so far. The project began in May 2012 and was finally completed late last month. Tourists can already visit the statue but the official open date is yet to be established.
Prince William takes the stage at a London Air Ambulance Charity Gala Dinner in the British capital, with the British throne's heir apparent taking the opportunity to thank well-wishers for their "kind messages of support" in the wake of his father King Charles III's shock cancer diagnosis as well as his wife Catherine's stint in hospital. "It means a great deal to us all," William adds. With Charles, 75, undergoing cancer treatment following Monday's announcement and Kate recovering from abdominal surgery, William has found himself thrust back to the frontline of royal duties.
