Top 10 chart as seen on Ceefax

Fancy seeing what was in the top 10 music charts from the land of Ceefax from #OnThisDay in 1989 in which a Madonna song was Like A Prayer and Jason Donovan had Too Many Broken Hearts.

Are you WeatherReady? Stay safe at the coast. Check tide times if you're heading to the coast. Stay away from cliff edges especially after rainfall. Stay back from stormy seas - the waves can sweep you off your feet. If you see someone in trouble, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

With blustery conditions in the forecast, stay safe if you're near the coast.

- Stay away from cliff edges
- Stay back from stormy seas
