Monmouth has become the first town in the UK - and the world - to be recognised as a 'Wikipedia town'.

Volunteers and businesses in Monmouth have been working to create an online encyclopedia, about the area's places and people.

Visitors can even learn more with their mobile phone, by scanning special barcodes on the town's landmarks.

The idea to create this page was thought up by John Cummings.

John was born and has lived most of his life in the historic town and thought that this was a way of sharing information with the world.

The family of a Welsh private investigator are to meet police and prosecutors to discuss the investigation into his murder. Daniel Morgan, who was from Cwmbran, was found dead in the carpark of a London pub in 1987.

Last year, the trial of several men accused of being connected to the murder collapsed. His family have called for a judge-led inquiry into the case.

After a mainly cloudy start, southern parts may see more brightness later with the odd shower. Temperatures here could reach 16C, but cooler at 11C further north.

A dry night with clear spells developing in the west, no chance of a ground frost.

Tomorrow, west is best with more cloud in the east.

Some fine sunshine later in the west and even the cloud elsewhere should thin a little to make it feel brighter. Temperatures generally better on Sunday.

Next week things are looking up with more sunshine, just the odd shower but temperatures on the rise.

By midweek parts of Wales could hit 21C, that's the magic 70F in old numbers!
