The week has been all about football, but other things have been happening in the Borough of Barnet. Here is our pick of the finest tweets.
1. Lets start with a shout out to these amazing people
Another victorious community effort today! 🎉 Removed a huge amount of plastic and all sorts of rubbish from the reservoir! Thanks to all the volunteers who turned up and helped make such a big difference! 💚🌷 pic.twitter.com/gkx66vIOYf

2. Thanks to Donald for bringing this to our attention, we'll be looking out.
The Red Arrows are due over Wembley at 19:48! They're at Bournemouth, to fly over Goodwood, but will make their way back to Scampton, which should bring them over Finchley! Of course, in reality they could be off track by a mile, but worth looking out for. Times shown are GMT. pic.twitter.com/B7KnXVKTZ0

6. I couldn't not post this today. Great tweeting
The night before the 1966 World Cup Final, Sir Alf Ramsey took the England team to the Odeon cinema in Church Road, Hendon, to see 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines'. They were staying at the Hendon Hall Hotel, and walked it. @movie_theaters image pic.twitter.com/5TuGYj2jtG

That's all folks ! Come on England. We'll finish with a blessing from the Archbishop of Canterbury (a role my mother always told me I was destined to fill when I was a nipper. Sadly she was wide of the mark on that one).
Prayers for @England and Gareth Southgate tonight. You've shown courage, resilience and compassion – on and off the pitch – and brought joy to millions.
