10:45 Queen's Birthday Honours - John Campbell

John Campbell has been awarded a Queen's Service Medal for services to pipe bands and the community. He has been involved in the Mackenzie Highland Pipe Band for more than 50 years, 29 of those as pipe major. And over a lifetime spent in Fairlie - something of a bagpiping Mecca in New Zealand - he's served the community in lots of other ways too.

Maureen Johnson11:05 Maureen Johnson

Author Maureen Johnson (right) writes young adult fiction – among her works are novel The Key to the Golden Firebird, and the Shades of London series. She's calling for an end to gender-specific book covers, saying that the "chick lit" covers automatically given to books by female authors is limiting who ends up reading them. She explains why it matters, in a world where readers really do judge a book by its cover.
