Question: BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

Lawro's opponents for this weekend's Premier League fixtures are Tom Meighan and Serge Pizzorno from indie rock band Kasabian.
Meighan and Pizzorno are fans of Leicester City, their local team, and the band played at the Foxes' title-winning parade last season.

"Top of my list of Leicester heroes has to be Steve Walsh [who played for the club between 1986-2000]," Meighan told BBC Sport.
"Walsh would be captain of any all-time Leicester team," Pizzorno added. "Muzzy Izzet would be in there too of course, Emile Heskey as well - and obviously the entire first XI from last season. I can go through them all if you want, but we might be here a while."
"They are the untouchables," Meighan explained.
Leicester struggled in their title defence and the manager who won the Premier League, Claudio Ranieri, was sacked in January. However, the Foxes made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, further than any other English club.
"It's been surreal," Meighan said. "Getting so far in the Champions League was just a dream come true - and we nearly went through to the semi-finals, too.
"At times it has been a bit of a return to reality and there have been some bad times, but I think in the past few months things have turned around again. It has been another amazing season.
"What next? Top four. We have got to build on what we have done this season and move forward."
It took a late-season surge for Leicester to avoid relegation in their first season back in the top flight, 2014-15, and they are still not mathematically sure of staying up this time.
"It is hard to even know what to say we should hope for at Leicester any more," Pizzorno said.
"We have won the league, then fought relegation and reached the Champions League quarter-finals - so I don't even know what we are capable of next."
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
You can make your Premier League predictions now and compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
All kick-offs 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated.
West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur (20:00 BST)
West Ham have only won one of their past 11 games and speculation over manager Slaven Bilic's future does not look like it is going away.
Tottenham, meanwhile, just keep on winning - if they pick up three points at the London Stadium, it would be their 10th victory in a row.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Spurs don't concede many goals and the way they are winning is very impressive, as well as the results themselves. It is very difficult not to back them at the moment.
I still think the title is beyond Tottenham because I do not see Chelsea slipping up - but I don't see Mauricio Pochettino's side dropping points either.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Tom's prediction: Tottenham are flying. 0-3
Serge's prediction: 0-2
Manchester City v Crystal Palace (12:30 BST)
I was a bit surprised to see Burnley win at Crystal Palace last weekend. The Clarets deserved to win too, but Palace were safe already - or as good as - so I don't think that defeat puts them back in trouble.
Mamadou Sakho's injury has weakened the Eagles at the back and, if Burnley can get through them, then Manchester City will too.
City have got three home games in a row now - against Palace, Leicester and West Brom - and as well as making the top four, I actually think they have got third place nailed on.
Sergio Aguero's injury is a blow, especially if it rules him out for the rest of the season, but Gabriel Jesus is fit again, so goals will not be a problem.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0
Tom's prediction: 1-1
Serge's prediction: 3-0
Bournemouth v Stoke City
Both teams are safe but I wouldn't say they have nothing to play for - they could finish as high as eighth, or as low as 16th.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Out of the two managers, Stoke boss Mark Hughes is under a little bit more pressure to finish the season strongly because he has managed a ninth-place finish with the Potters in each of the past three seasons.
But even if they don't make the top half of the table this time, I don't think his side are under-achieving when you consider how much they have spent.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Potters are still short of a bit of firepower but, while Wilfried Bony's loan deal did not work out, I think Saido Berahino will come good.
Berahino is such a good finisher, but he needs to be playing regularly to find his best form.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Tom's prediction: 2-0
Serge's prediction: It's horrible going second when you are making predictions. 2-1
Burnley v West Brom
With one win from their past five games, West Brom have hit the buffers a bit.
Burnley's victory at Crystal Palace was huge for them because they look like they are safe now.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Clarets' victory at Selhurst Park was their first league away win of the season and thoroughly deserved, but they won't want to let their strong home form just peter out now.
I see this being a battle between two teams who always put in maximum effort, and I think they will both have something to show for it at the end.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Tom's prediction: 0-0
Serge's prediction: Burnley at home are incredible. 1-0
Hull City v Sunderland
Sunderland are down, and it would not surprise me if they play with a bit more freedom now the pressure is off them.
But Hull know their strong home form is crucial to them staying up and they know they cannot afford to drop any points at the KCOM Stadium.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Tom's prediction: Sunderland are gone so nothing really matters to them - they might go out and win it, knowing them. 0-2
Serge's prediction: 2-0
Leicester City v Watford
Neither Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare nor Watford boss Walter Mazzarri knows if they will be in charge next season.
Both of these sides are on the magic 40-point mark and, although they are not mathematically safe yet, it is fair to say that their managers are in more trouble than the teams are - especially Mazzarri.
Shakespeare was only given the Foxes job until the summer anyway, while nobody knows what Mazzarri's remit was at Watford - just survival, a top-half finish or something else?
A Foxes win would not improve his chances of staying in the job.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Tom's prediction: 3-0
Serge's prediction: I was going to say that. I'll go 2-1 instead.
Swansea City v Everton (17:30 BST)
Swansea have put a good little run together and seem to have the bit between their teeth a little bit - their point at Old Trafford last week was an excellent result.
Chelsea' 3-0 win at Goodison Park flattered them a little bit, but Everton still looked a bit flat to me.
I am not saying they are playing like they are ready for the beach, and their manager Ronald Koeman would not tolerate that either.
But the fact is the Toffees are the Premier League team with the least to play for in terms of league position, so there is nothing on the line for them in their last few fixtures - including their bonus for where they finish in the table.
Swansea, in contrast, are fighting for their lives.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Tom's prediction: Swansea are in good form at the moment. 2-2
Serge's prediction: 1-1
Liverpool v Southampton (13:30 BST)
Liverpool got a good win at Watford last time out which means they have taken nine points from their past four games.
Yes, they will feel they should have beaten Crystal Palace at Anfield too, but that is still a decent haul and makes losing to the Eagles easier to swallow.
The Reds owe Saints after they lost to them in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, and I think they will get some revenge.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Tom's prediction: 2-1
Serge's prediction: 1-0
Arsenal v Man Utd (16:00 BST)
I thought Arsenal had a bit of momentum until last weekend's north London derby, when their defeat showed their problems have not really gone away.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Gunners really were put into place by Tottenham, in more ways than one.
Arsenal will be up for this game, but it will not be easy because Manchester United's injury list looks a lot shorter right now. I don't think there will be much in it.
I just don't think it is a game Arsene Wenger can afford to lose because, if he does, the roof really will fall in.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Tom's prediction: Arsenal are in a real state at the moment. Pure panic. United will go there and win, I know they will. 0-2
Serge's prediction: I was going to say that, but now I can't - and I don't think United will win 1-0 or 3-0... can I go with the same score? I can? Great. 0-2
Chelsea v Middlesbrough (20:00 BST)
The title is in sight now for Chelsea and they are playing the second-worst team in the league, so there is only going to be one outcome here.
The good thing about Antonio Conte's side is that they just never stop. We saw last week how they struggled a bit against Everton, but found a way to overcome them.
I can see them putting so much pressure on Boro that the visitors just collapse.
Defeat would relegate Middlesbrough and they won't go down without a fight - but I don't see them getting anything at Stamford Bridge.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0
Tom's prediction: Chelsea will just roll Boro over. 4-1
Serge's prediction: 4-0
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy)
Lawro's worst score: 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista)
From last weekend's Premier League matches, Lawro got two correct results, with no perfect scores, from 10 matches, for a total of 20 points.
He lost out to Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar, who got three correct results, including one perfect score, for a tally of 60 points.

Lawro picked the winner in two of the four quarter-finals and six of the eight last-16 ties.
He enjoyed a 42% success rate in the group stage, correctly guessing the outcome of 15 of the 36 games.
The only group he failed to get a single result in was Group F, which saw Hungary and Iceland spring a surprise by finishing first and second.
Before the tournament Lawro chose 11 of the 16 teams that went through to the first knockout stage, including France, his pick to win the tournament on 10 July.

Question: Huddersfield Town midfielder Dean Whitehead has signed a one-year contract extension.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

The 35-year-old was out of contract after making 50 league appearances in two seasons with the Terriers.
The ex-Sunderland and Stoke man has played more than 200 top-flight games.
"I am very happy that he will be at this club for a further season; he is a true professional and a really good character," boss David Wagner told the club website.

The 29-year-old former Leyton Orient and Stevenage player joined the Reds in May 2014.
He has since made 76 appearances, scoring two league goals and recovered from a broken ankle last season.
"His experience, a willingness to work hard and his energy are all important attributes to have at this level," head coach Dermot Drummy said.
Meanwhile midfielder Bobson Bawling has also agreed a one-year contract with the West Sussex club, with the option of a further year.

Question: Ryan Hall scored his 250th career try to help Leeds Rhinos remain second in Super League with a come-from-behind victory over Hull FC at Headingley.

Hull prop Scott Taylor squeezed over for the first-half's only try, and Marc Sneyd's drop goal just before the break put the visitors 7-0 up.
Hall responded with a milestone try in the corner, before Jack Walker's score put Leeds ahead for the first time.
Josh Griffin and Mahe Fonua went close for Hull late on, but Leeds survived.
With 10 minutes remaining Griffin looked to dive over but his effort was chalked off following a forward pass, and some desperate defending by the hosts helped deny Fonua as he knocked on.
Leeds' victory, coupled with Salford's defeat by leaders Castleford, ensured Brian McDermott's Rhinos will start the Super 8s in second place, and completes the club's remarkable return to being a force.
A stuttering start to their 2017 campaign left McDermott facing pressure to keep his job, after the club's battle to avoid relegation via the Qualifiers last season, having collected the treble just 12 months before that.
The win to seal their place in the top four - which comes with the added bonus of an extra home match in the Super 8s - was both costly and hard fought after centre Stevie Ward suffered a head knock and Keith Galloway was forced off with an Achilles injury inside 12 minutes.
Leeds are now unbeaten in eight meetings between the two sides, with the pair facing one another next in the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup on Saturday, 29 July.
Leeds Rhinos boss Brian McDermott:
"It was dogged. There was a lot of fight, I don't think there was much finesse about it.
"I thought in the first half we challenged Hull a bit with the ball but they were very solid defensively.
"We had 14 men for a lot of the game. It was not pretty, but sometimes it doesn't have to be.
Hull FC coach Lee Radford:
"We'll have to strip everything back to put it right, as a coach there's plenty to go at. We're second in the comp for errors and it's not pretty.
"It jumps out at you, the basic schoolboy handling errors that, for whatever reason, have really crept in.
"It's a theme of conversation we're having every week and it can't continue."
Leeds Rhinos: Golding; Briscoe, Ward, Keinhorst, Hall; Moon, McGuire; Galloway, Parcell, Singleton, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Cuthbertson.
Replacements: Garbutt, Mullally, Walker, Lilley.
Hull FC: Shaul; Fonua, Griffin, Tuimavave, Talanoa; Connor, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Thompson, Minichiello, Manu.
Replacements: Bowden, Downs, Matongo, Washbrook.

Question: Tencent, China's biggest online entertainment and social network company, has reported a 47% jump in second-quarter profits.

Net income for the quarter stood at 10.9bn yuan ($1.6bn, Â£1.23bn), beating analysts' expectations.
Revenue grew at its fastest rate in more than three years, the firm said, climbing 52% to 35.7bn yuan.
Tencent is best known for its messaging app WeChat, which dominates the local market.
Out of China's three internet titans, the online gaming and social media company Tencent is the biggest, but also the least known in the West.
Tencent has not attracted the same global attention as its rivals: Alibaba, with charismatic millionaire entrepreneur Jack Ma at the helm, and Baidu, the local equivalent of Google.
However, its WeChat service is just about the biggest app there is in China. According to many Chinese users, it is way ahead of anything people use elsewhere in the world.
Its key element is the integration of a wide spectrum of online services all bundled in one single app.
WeChat offers just about everything from messaging to calling, mobile games, food deliveries and online shopping, payments, even down to splitting the bill when you're out with friends.
The app has more than 700 million people using it and has an unrivalled dominance in the Chinese market, but it is not Tencent's main source of revenue.
"Online gaming has long been the driver for Tencent and it's key to understanding the revenue mix," Duncan Clark, technology analyst and chief executive of consultancy BDA in Beijing, told the BBC.
In June, it was announced that Tencent Holdings and its partners are to buy a majority stake in the Finnish maker of the Clash of Clans game.
The deal values Supercell at around $10.2bn (Â£6.95bn) and Tencent will buy the stake from Japan's SoftBank Group, which invested in Supercell in 2013.
Founded in 2010, Supercell's other games include Hay Day, Boom Beach and Clash Royale.
Like so many other Chinese tech companies, Tencent was initially labelled as being a copycat, filling the gap created by Beijing banning Western online companies to enter the Chinese markets.
Youtube was substituted by Youku, Google by Baidu, Amazon by Alibaba, while WeChat took the place of Whatsapp.
It was initially developed out of QQ which was a Chinese version of the desktop messaging pioneer ICQ.
And there is some truth in the assessment that these companies initially got their ideas from modelling themselves on a Western company.
But the days of mere copying are over, many of those companies have mastered the blueprint they were built on - and often have developed further from there.
"China has increasingly become the centre of mobile innovation," Mr Clark explains. "It's rather that there's a gap now in the West, because people tend to miss what's happening in China."

It comes after the world's fourth-biggest smartphone maker posted a 30% growth in overall revenue on Monday.
Huawei said it shipped 48.2 million devices globally in the first half of 2015, giving them a 87% surge in handset sales revenues
The company is competing with Apple and Xiaomi for the top spot in China, the world's biggest handset market.
The boost in sales figures comes after the firm said it would shed its low-cost appeal and include high-margin premium models to challenge Samsung and Apple at the top-end of the market.
Huawei said that shipments for the mid-to-high-end category recorded a year-on-year increase of 70%.
Regarding sales in China, the firm managed to defy a slowdown hitting its rivals Samsung and Xiaomi.
Overall smartphone shipments in China in the first quarter of 2015 shrank for the first time in six years, with one-time leader Xiaomi saying the domestic market was nearing saturation.
On Monday, Huawei released its earnings results for the first six months of the year, posting a 30% increase in revenue to 175.9bn yuan ($28.3bn; Â£18.2bn) and giving a positive outlook for further growth in 2015.
Aside from smartphones, the Shenzhen-based firm is one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, competing with the likes of Sweden's Ericsson on infrastructure such as mobile phone masts.

Question: Eight leading human rights activists arrested in Istanbul have been accused of belonging to an armed terrorist organisation.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

They were attending a digital security workshop at a hotel when it was raided by Turkish police on Wednesday night.
Two trainers from Sweden and Germany were also arrested in the raid, which has been condemned by international human rights bodies.
"We don't know which terror organisation they are talking about," the activists' lawyer Selin Nakipoglu told the BBC. "All of this is very surreal."
The activists will be held for a week before facing the prosecutor.
They include the director of Amnesty International's Turkey office, Idil Eser - the second top Amnesty official to be detained in the past month.
Amnesty Turkey's chairman Taner Kilic was arrested in June on charges of having links to the Gulenists - the Islamic movement that the government accuses of masterminding the foiled coup plot a year ago. He is still in pre-trial detention.
"The plainclothes anti-terror police raided the hotel and shouted 'Hands up!'," Ms Nakipoglu said of the latest arrests.
"These activists have been subjected to shock, fear and terror. One even thought this was part of the workshop, an exercise. All of it felt absurd."
She has been in touch with four of those detained.
"These people have spent all their lives working for human rights. They were held for 36 hours without any notice to lawyers or relatives," she said.
More than 50,000 people have been arrested since the failed coup, including more than 170 journalists and many opposition politicians, academics and activists.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the crackdown is necessary to root out Gulenists. The purge of the armed forces, judiciary, police and education sector has seen more than 140,000 people dismissed from their jobs.
The Council of Europe (CoE) - the top European human rights watchdog - urged Turkey to free the eight Istanbul activists immediately.
Its Human Rights Commissioner Nils Muiznieks said he was "extremely concerned".
"I call on the Turkish authorities to immediately release those detained... and strongly urge them to stop all arbitrary interferences with the legitimate work of civil society."
Meanwhile the UN Human Rights Commissioner said the police raid "underscores our concerns that anti-terror legislation is being abused to oppress individuals trying to exercise peacefully their civil and political rights".
"We fear they are now at significant risk of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment," UN spokeswoman Elizabeth Throssell added.
US-based Human Rights Watch called the move "a repressive new low for the Turkish state".
Turkish officials have long accused human rights defenders of engaging in covert and treasonous activities.
One pro-government daily claims the Istanbul activists were plotting an anti-government protest similar to the Gezi Park riots of 2013.
Another paper suggested the activists were spies.
Tens of thousands of people - opponents of President Erdogan - have spent 23 days marching from Ankara to Istanbul, demanding justice.
They reached Istanbul on Friday and will stage a rally on Sunday - expected to draw more than a million people.
In a controversial referendum in April, Mr Erdogan got backing for constitutional changes that will entrench his state-of-emergency powers.
Instead of being a figurehead, the president will be able to shape government policy, appoint top officials and influence the judiciary, with parliament's role diminished.

The arrest of Sik, who has been jailed previously, came shortly before writer Asli Erdogan and linguist Necmiye Alpay appeared in a Turkish court.
The court later released the pair pending their trial.
Many Turkish writers and journalists have been arrested since the July plot against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The conservative ruling AK Party, which has Islamist roots, launched a massive purge of the police, judiciary, media, schools and universities after the abortive coup attempt by military officers.
Free speech campaigners Pen say the authorities have detained almost 150 writers and journalists.
Sik, 46, tweeted: "I am being detained. I will be taken to the prosecutor's office regarding a tweet."
He has been accused of spreading "terrorist propaganda", reports say.
He and journalist Nedim Sener were previously jailed in 2011-2012. The authorities banned Sik's book The Imam's Army, which examined the life and work of Fethullah Gulen, the US-based cleric blamed by the Turkish government for the July coup attempt.
A version of the book was however published in November 2011.
Asli Erdogan, 49, and Necmiye Alpay, 70, are among nine suspects charged over their links to the pro-Kurdish newspaper Ozgur Gundem, which was shut down in August.
The authorities regard Ozgur Gundem as a mouthpiece for the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an armed group fighting for more Kurdish autonomy. Turkey and its Western allies regard the PKK as a terrorist organisation.
Asli Erdogan and Alpay - a prominent linguist and translator - both pleaded not guilty.
Asli Erdogan said she was on the paper's advisory board, but "it hasn't had a meeting in five years and hasn't taken one single decision".
One of her novels has been published in English, titled The City in Crimson Cloak.

On 6 February, 1890, 176 men and boys were killed when a massive explosion ripped though Llanerch colliery in Abersychan, Torfaen.
A service and exhibition will be held to commemorate the disaster and remember the people who died.
It is being held at Trinity church in Abersychan and begins at 18:00 GMT.

A fire, started by a spilled oil lamp, swept through Exhall pit near Bedworth on 21 September, 1915, threatening the lives of the 375 men working there.
The majority of the men were led to safety through a ventilation shaft by the man in charge underground.
A circle of 14 trees, one for each man who died, has been planted around a granite memorial.
The memorial, in St. Giles Meadow, was unveiled by the High Sherriff of Warwickshire.

Question: The independent child sex abuse inquiry has denied claims it has plans to drop the investigation into Lord Janner.

The Sunday Telegraph suggested the inquiry was to abandon examining allegations the former Labour MP abused victims between the 1950s and 1980s.
More than 30 complainants are due to give evidence against Lord Janner, who died in December.
The inquiry has faced various setbacks including the departure of two senior lawyers and three chairwomen.
The newspaper claimed Lord Janner's son, Daniel Janner, a QC, had been told by a source the investigation into allegations his father was a paedophile would be discontinued.
It quoted Mr Janner as saying: "A wholly reliable source has informed me the strand into my father is to be dropped".
But an inquiry spokesman said: "It is not being dropped."
Lord Janner, who was an MP in Leicester for nearly 30 years, died shortly after a judge had ruled that he was not fit to stand trial for alleged child sex offences.
The family believes Lord Janner is innocent and that the 33 men and women who have accused Lord Janner have fabricated their accounts.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse was set up in 2014 to examine whether public bodies, including the police, in England and Wales had failed in their duty to protect children from sexual abuse.
It is investigating claims of abuse involving "well-known people" with one specific strand looking into allegations made against Lord Janner.
The inquiry has seen three of its chairwomen step down in the last two years.
It faced a further setback on Thursday when Ben Emmerson QC, the most senior lawyer working for the inquiry, resigned after saying he was no longer the "right person" for the role.
His colleague Elizabeth Prochaska, the second most senior lawyer on the team, had stepped down on 15 September.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she still has confidence in the inquiry.

Inquiry chairwoman Lowell Goddard will give an opening statement which will set out its guiding principles.
Justice Goddard will outline how the inquiry will be run, timescales, how evidence will be taken and areas of public life that will be examined.
The inquiry was set up by the home secretary in March.
Justice Goddard took up her post the following month. Her appointment followed the resignation of two chairwomen amid concerns over their links with the establishment.
On the opening day, Justice Goddard will summarise the steps taken to build the framework for the inquiry's work and provide information and clarity around the task ahead.
The New Zealand High Court judge's opening statement will also explain the various ways in which the inquiry is working with victims and how they will be able to engage in the process.
The inquiry panel comprises Justice Goddard, Prof Alexis Jay of Strathclyde University, Drusilla Sharpling of the police inspectorate, Prof Malcolm Evans of Bristol University, and child protection barrister Ivor Frank.
The counsel and solicitor to the inquiry will also be present at the opening, as will the secretary to the inquiry. It will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre Centre in Westminster.
Justice Goddard, who was appointed to the New Zealand High Court in 1995, has previously led an inquiry into police handling of child abuse cases in that country.
Claims of an establishment cover-up of historical child sex abuse involving public figures, including politicians, prompted Home Secretary Theresa May to announce two inquiries in July 2014.
The inquiry, which will have statutory powers, will investigate whether "public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales".
Baroness Butler-Sloss, Mrs May's first choice as inquiry chairwoman, resigned a week after it was set up. She faced calls to quit because her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, was attorney general in the 1980s.
Her replacement, Lord Mayor of London Fiona Woolf, stood down on 31 October amid concerns over her links to former Home Secretary Lord Brittan.

Question: A man spotted his father performing cartwheels and tightrope walking on a Royal Navy destroyer in a World War Two archive film.

29 March 2016 Last updated at 15:44 BST
Peter Brown watched the footage on his computer at home in Cumbria after it was put online by the University of Manchester to show the Dunkirk evacuation - and lighter moments on HMS Whitehall.
North West Tonight reporter Stuart Flinders spoke to Mr Brown.

Whether you have found 2016 a good, bad or indifferent year, here are some of the most-watched news videos from around England each month.
One of the most-watched videos of January was about secret wartime tunnels beneath Clapham South Tube station being opened up to the public.
The warren-like network provided shelter for thousands of Londoners during World War Two.
Anushka Binoy hit the headlines in January after getting the maximum score on an IQ test. The brainy youngster from Isleworth, who was then 11, sat the exam set by Mensa and has an official IQ of 162. Nearly a million people watched an interview with her.
February's top-viewed video was of a double-decker bus being blown up on a bridge in central London - all for a film.
Footage of the bus crossing Lambeth Bridge was taken by London Fire Brigade who were on standby in case anything went wrong with the explosion.
CCTV footage released by police in Kingston, showing a man neatly tripping up a suspected drug dealer was also popular, but surely nothing compares to Kurt - a former stray who is now 7ft (2m 13cm) tall and 11st (70kg)
The Anatolian Shepherd, from Chatham in Kent, manages to wolf down £120 worth of food every month, and on Fridays he has tripe, beef chunks, chicken hearts and ribs - served on a tray because it won't fit into a bowl.
The shooting of an adult film in garages in Sutton, south London, was deplored by local councillor Trish Fivey as "absolutely disgraceful". The movie was uploaded to the internet and viewers recognised landmarks including the car park at St Nicholas Shopping Centre. Glamorous.
Footage of clothes drying on a radiator may not seem terribly compelling, but it was accompanied by a health warning about dangers posed by a common household mould, leading to it being viewed a million times.
And March was also the month a 300ft (92m) mine shaft opened up under the patio of a house in Scorrier, Cornwall. It was thought to be a remnant of an 18th Century tin mine.
Stuart Dann, who runs Cornwall mine survey firm Mining-Eye in Cornwall said: "The area is like a massive bit of Swiss cheese".
There's nothing quite like a dancing gorilla, as Twycross Zoo found out when footage of three-year-old Lope aping around went viral. The zoo's director of life sciences Dr Charlotte Macdonald said Lope's "dance" was evidence of him playing - an important aspect of young apes' behaviour.
Also dancing about, but this time to dodge flying manure, was double-Oscar winning actor Emma Thompson. She was taking part in an anti-fracking demonstration when a farmer drove his muckspreader past, bespattering the campaigners.
And the London marathon took place. One runner surprised his girlfriend by stopping and pretending to tie up his shoe laces before pulling out a ring and proposing. She said "yes".
May was all about appearance. Eight-year-old Joshua Reape was sent home from school because of a hairstyle he'd copied from the hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders. His short back and sides - based on that of Tommy Shelby, a character played by Cillian Murphy - caused a stir at Abbey Catholic Primary School in Erdington.
But easily the most-viewed video of the month, with more than three million hits, was that of a London receptionist who was sent home from work after refusing to wear high heels.
While Leicester City supporters enjoyed their team's unlikely triumph in the Premier League, spare a thought for poor old Lee Chapman.
The lookalike postman, who'd attracted attention over his uncanny resemblance to Foxes striker Jamie Vardy, said he was "heartbroken" after the footballer blocked him on Twitter.
Also upset were the owners of several cars which got submerged by floods in south-east London, caused by torrential rain.
And sticking with a watery theme, a fox cub became stuck in a dishwasher. Yes, you read that right. A fox became stuck in a dishwasher.
He was eventually "ushered out" by a vet wielding a broom.
In Derbyshire, a six-bedroom luxury mansion which had been disguised as a farm shed was discovered by police. It was the work of Alan Yeomans who was jailed for drug dealing and money laundering. And the crook had called it "Shedley Manor". Clever.
July was the month to be remembered for a police dog joining in a push-up challenge. PC Steve Hopwood from Avon and Somerset Police was joined by Monty, who completed 23 push-ups to raise awareness of veteran suicide. The challenge is to do 22, but the pair did "one for luck".
In Sheffield, the challenge some sports enthusiasts filmed themselves wakeboarding through a Victorian storm drain.
August was the month in which an island in the River Avon in Worcestershire was put on the market. With no services on Osier Island, the owner lived using electricity from solar panels and rain water. BBC Midlands Today sent their drone up for the footage. The island and property sold at auction for £280,000 - comfortably beating its £190,000 guide price.
Staying with rivers, a mysterious black door was placed on a buttress of the Sonning Bridge in Berkshire. There was even a floating doormat. It's thought to have been the work of local artist Impro, and could refer to the fact Sonning is home to the Prime Minister Theresa May.
As for the pink hay bales, the giant marshmallowy structures were the brainchild of Dave Broster from Diggle Green Farm in Warrington. They were wrapped in pink plastic to raise awareness of breast cancer.
The joyous video of a deer bounding along the sands in Poole Harbour was taken at dawn by dog-walker Dave Mott in September. It's thought to be a Japanese Sika deer that may have swum over from Brownsea Island. Have a look at the little chap in action - it'll make you happy.
Another happy occasion was the wedding of Jamie and Mandy Milligan - where a stunt by the best man stole the show. He pretended he'd forgotten his speech and set off on an epic quest to find it.
An epic fail was also in the most-watched news, as a Domino's Pizza rider toppled off his bike while doing a wheelie. Which demonstrates exactly what happens to show-offs.
Oh, October was a showbiz month.
Britney Spears developed a crush on a 42-year-old man from Surrey. The object of her desire was Phil Lupton, a studio manager filmed by the singer riding his motorbike home. On the footage, which she posted on her Instagram account, the star can be heard saying: "My crush in London. Very hot, very hot, very hot."
Mr Lupton told BBC London his wife "didn't understand the fuss".
Take That crooner Gary Barlow turned up at a 13-year-old's birthday party in Birmingham and sang Greatest Day. She was in tears. Possibly of joy.
And then, baby-faced pop star Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at an ice hockey practice session in Manchester. He even scored. Unbeliebable.
A thrill-seeker from Sheffield combined his passions for baked goods and bungee jumping by successfully dunking from 75m (246ft) away. Simon Berry's technique involved clasping one wrist over the other to offer greater stability and precision as the biscuit surged towards its small target. Well done him.
And another "well done" for eight-year-old Marcus Caffrey, who delivered his baby sister Freya when his mum went into labour. He said he was just focused on getting "the job done" before the paramedics took over.
Less well done, perhaps, for the designers of a "ghost roundabout" in Cambridge. The cobbled brick circle has been described as a "UFO landing pad" and an "urban crop circle" on social media.
Cambridgeshire County Council said it was designed to slow down traffic by confusing drivers. Job done.
In December, a meat and potato pie attached to a weather balloon was sent into space to see if its journey changed the molecular structure of the pie. The pioneering pastry was launched from Wigan.
In nearby Manchester, eyes were on an enormous fish caught in the Indian Ocean and put on display at the Arndale Market. The goliath grouper weighed 30 stone (190kg).
And to finish on a festive note, the BBC News jingle inspired a dancer in Leicester Square. After the video of Corville Cuffy became popular on social media, he was invited to the newsroom to perform it there.
The BBC, like someone's dad trying to sound cool, said Mr Cuffy threw "some funky shapes".

Question: The U-rated 1978 film Watership Down would be classified PG were it released today, the new head of the British Board of Film Classification has said.

represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

BBFC director David Austin told BBC Radio 5 live its violence was "arguably too strong" for it to be rated U now.
He added the film also contains language that would be "unacceptable" in a film rated U under 2016 criteria.
His comments followed complaints over the film's content after it was aired on Channel 5 on Sunday.
"Well done to whoever at Channel 5 decided that Watership Down was a nice Easter Sunday afternoon film to show," wrote one tweeter.
Based on the novel by Richard Adams, the animated film tells of a group of rabbits who leave their burrow in search of a new home.
Their quest brings them into contact with a battle-scarred rabbit called "General" Woundwort, as well as a gull called Kehaar who tells another character to go away using an expletive.
The BBFC continues to receive "one or two complaints" each year over its content, which includes scenes of rabbits fighting, being throttled and gasping for air.
The film - which features the voices of Sir John Hurt and the late Richard Briers - received a U rating on its initial release for its "very mild language, mild violence and threat".
According to Austin, though, "standards were different then". "The film has been a U for 38 years, but if it came in tomorrow it would not be," he continued.
For it to receive a different rating, however, it would have to be re-submitted to the BBFC - something Austin said would only happen if the title was acquired by a new distributor who wished to re-release it.
According to BBFC guidelines, a U-rated film "should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over" while a PG may feature scenes "unsuitable for young children".
A spokesman for Channel 5 said the broadcaster would not be commenting on the issue.

A total of 321 movies were given the classification, including The Hunger Games and Gravity, up from 234 in 2012.
The rating means children aged 12 and over can go and see a film unaccompanied, but those under the age of 12 must view the film with an adult.
For the first time, there were more 12A releases than 15-rated films.
The rise, outlined in the British Board of Film Classification's (BBFC) annual report, came despite research showing a "significant minority" of consumers were confused by the rating.
"It's inherently a slightly more complicated explanation than most," BBFC director David Cooke admitted to the BBC.
However, he said the case for retaining the certificate was "very strong" because it allowed parents to make informed decisions about what their children watch.
"Especially at that age, children are developing at different speeds, and therefore their own parents are far better placed than us to judge whether a particular film would give their child too intense an experience or not," he said.
Renewed efforts to explain the 12A certificate will be made this summer with a cinema advertising campaign.
Reflecting the confusion amongst consumers, the most complained-about film last year was the 12A-rated Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise.
"Despite a number of reductions made to scenes of violence to achieve a 12A certificate, those who contacted us considered the film too violent, dark and sadistic for 12-year-olds, and inappropriately presented the hero as a vigilante figure," said the BBFC.
However, the film only received 26 complaints in total - which Cooke described as "a very low number even by our standards".
"Compared with the number of people who saw it on the opening weekend, which would have been into the millions, it's very small."
The figure was indeed a big drop from 2012 - when supernatural thriller The Woman In Black drew the most complaints.
A total of 134 people complained about the Daniel Radcliffe film. The response was partly responsible for the BBFC tightening up its guidelines on horror and gore earlier this year.
Other films that drew complaints last year included action movie The Wolverine and Richard Curtis's romantic comedy About Time, both of which were rated 12A.
Each drew criticism for its use of strong language; while 10 people complained about harrowing scenes of injured people in The Impossible, a film about the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.
Fantasy fable Life Of Pi also generated 10 complaints regarding its PG classification from people concerned that children would be disturbed by scenes in which animals attacked each other.
And 12 viewers thought explicit sex scenes in Nicole Kidman's The Paperboy were more deserving of an 18 certificate than the 15 it had been given.
The figures, released by the BBFC, came against a background of public support for the ratings system.
A poll of 10,000 adults, conducted by the body, showed 92% of film viewers agreed with the age ratings for films and videos they had seen recently.
The BBFC rated 974 films for cinematic release in 2013 - up from 850 last year - and gave pre-release advice on a further 68 titles. The total of 1,042 films is the highest since 1961.
The figures were boosted by the advent of "event cinema" - with operas, ballets and theatre productions all receiving certificates.
In the coming months, the BBFC will also pilot a scheme to apply age ratings to music videos online.

Question: American Pie singer Don McLean has entered a not guilty plea in writing to a charge of domestic violence and will not appear in court later this month.

The singer was arrested  at his home on 18 January following an emergency 911 call to the police from his wife.
The next court date is 22 February but McLean's lawyer, Walter McKee, said nothing substantial would happen that day as he's already entered a plea.
Mclean has been on bail since his arrest at his home in Camden, Maine.
After his arrest, his wife Patricia filed a handwritten request for protection.
She claimed she feared for her life when she called police in January, writing: "Don terrorised me for four hours, until the 911 call that I think might have saved my life."
The couple later announced through legal representatives that they had "agreed to move forward" and the protection order was dismissed.
The 70-year-old was released from Knox County Jail after posting $10,000 (Â£7,007) bail.
Mr Mclean's wife claims the singer has engaged in a pattern of abuse going back three decades.
The singer has  "vigorously denied" his wife's allegations.
Following his arrest, the singer asked his fans not to judge him.
In a statement on his official website, Mr McLean blamed "hard emotional times for my wife, my children and me".
"What is occurring is the very painful breakdown of an almost 30-year relationship.... There are no winners or losers but I am not a villain."
The US singer-songwriter has amassed more than 40 gold and platinum records worldwide during his career.
His most famous hit American Pie topped the Billboard Hot 100 44 years ago.
Mr McLean's original manuscript of the lyrics and notes to American Pie, which was also a UK number one in 1972, sold for $1.2m  (Â£842,000) at a Christie's auction last April.
It was said to have been the third highest price fetched by an American literary manuscript.

It follows an alleged row with a security guard before a show near Byron Bay on 2 January.
According to a police statement the Brooklyn rapper, 19, was walking towards the stage at The Falls Music and Arts Festival when he was asked to prove his identity.
Badass allegedly punched the 20-year-old guard, breaking his nose, before going on stage to perform his set.
The rapper, whose real name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, was later charged with assault causing bodily harm and spent the night in police custody, the statement added.
He could be sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison if convicted.
Badass appeared in Lismore Local Court on 3 January and was released on unconditional bail, court official Melissa Everson said.
She added that the rapper would not be required to appear when the charge is next listed in Byron Bay Local Court on 19 March. He is free to fly back to the United States and will be represented in court by a lawyer.
Everson would not say whether the rapper had entered a plea at this stage.
Badass, who is the co-founder of the hip-hop collective Pro Era, is set to play four shows in Australia and New Zealand over the next week.

Question: Hundreds of dog owners have staged a dog-walking protest on Weymouth beach over new rules banning their pets for seven months of the year.

represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

Dogs were not allowed on the beach from May to September but the council extended the ban, which now lasts from Easter until the end of October.
Weymouth Borough Council said the decision was taken after a public consultation.
But protesters say 63% of respondents wanted the dates to stay as they were.
About 200 dog owners and their pets descended on a dog exercise area near the pavilion on Sunday afternoon to protest against the Public Space Protection Order.
More than 1,000 people have also signed a petition to have the changes revoked.
Judi Moore, who started the petition, said: "I do not see how dogs on the beach are an evil nuisance now when they were a welcome adjunct to the town's attractions last year.
"I think not to allow dogs is a retrograde step. This is the English Riviera, not the Mediterranean. Nobody is going to be sitting on the beach in bare feet and a swimming cossie in April and October - it's not sane."
The council said nearly 1,700 people responded to a public consultation about the changes with about a quarter of people wanting a year-round ban.
Councillor Richard Kosior, chairman of the council's Policy Development Committee, said: "We would like to reassure the public that the correct information from the consultation results was taken into account when the Policy Development Committee made a decision to extend the ban."
Community protection councillor Francis Drake said: "Members were aware that the majority of respondents wanted the dates to stay the same. However, after taking the consultation results into consideration, the Policy Development Committee made the decision to extend the ban."

Question: A senior police officer has said there will be "significant arrests" of those involved in rioting in Belfast.

Up to six shots were fired at police during a third night of violence in north Belfast on Tuesday.
Petrol bombs and a pipe bomb were also thrown by nationalist rioters in the Ardoyne area. About 100 officers used water cannon and baton rounds.
The prime minister has said the PSNI behaved in a brave and restrained way during the recent trouble.
Speaking in the Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron described the violence as "unacceptable" and said the PSNI had been forced to respond.
On Wednesday, Assistant Chief Constable Duncan McCausland said children as young as 10 were involved in the violence.
He said as well as throwing stones and petrol bombs, young children were being used as shields by "sinister elements" organising the riots behind them.
ACC McCausland said police had hours of video footage from before the violence started and would use it to identify the rioters.
"There will be significant arrests in the forthcoming days - individuals will not go scot free," he said.
The rioter who dropped a concrete block on a policewoman on Monday night - seriously injuring her - had already been identified he added.
"Wherever he is in Northern Ireland he can sit and be worried - we will be coming for him," he said.
The officer is due to get out of hospital later on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the NI first and deputy first ministers have met the chief constable.
Following the meeting, Peter Robinson said he had "nothing but the highest admiration for the way the police has dealt with the difficulties of recent days".
Martin McGuinness described the violence as a "setback against the huge progress we have made in recent times".
But he insisted that those behind the violence "would not succeed" in disrupting the political process.
The NI Chief Constable, Matt Baggott, said his force was determined to bring those responsible to justice.
Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness were criticised on Tuesday by Assistant Chief Constable Alistair Finlay, who called on them to provide more leadership.
On Wednesday, searches were carried out in the Ardoyne area in relation to the recent trouble and a number of items were taken away for further examination.
A 20-year-old man was also charged with riotous behaviour in connection with an incident during an Orange Order march in the Ormeau Road area on 12 July. He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Thursday.
On Tuesday night in Ardoyne, burning barricades were put in place and laser pens were shone at police. Some officers suffered minor injuries.
Politicians have condemned the violence, which has flared at the height of the loyalist marching season.
Sinn Fein have said dissident republicans and "anti-social elements" are behind the violence.
SDLP councillor Nicola Mallon spent most of Tuesday night in Ardoyne and said it as a night of "absolute madness and mayhem" with local residents growing increasingly worried about the situation.
Northern Ireland's Justice Minister David Ford said there was an "extremely sinister edge", in terms of those who were encouraging the rioting.
There was also trouble in North Queen Street area of north Belfast on Tuesday night where youths built a barricade across the road.
In the Markets area of south Belfast a bus was damaged by stone-throwers and a car was recovered by police as youths tried to hijack it.
A car was also stolen in Lurgan, County Armagh and four petrol bombs were thrown at a police vehicle in Londonderry.
More than 80 police officers had been injured over the previous two nights of rioting by nationalist youths.
Police later released aerial footage of the violence, which showed officers coming under sustained attack from people throwing bricks and wielding metal bars and planks.
The chief constable, Matt Baggott, said the cost of policing Monday's violence would run into millions of pounds.

A candle-lit vigil, attended by some 200 people, took place in Birmingham for the men. The BBC's Jeremy Cooke said it was entirely peaceful.
Ladywood MP Shabana Mahmood had appealed for calm, telling a community meeting it was important people did not take matters into their own hands.
Meanwhile, rioters in Manchester and Salford have been told that they face being evicted from their council homes if they are identified on CCTV footage.
Both city councils have issued warnings that if any of their tenants or their children have been involved in violence or looting they will be "thrown out".
Greenwich Council also says it will be seeking the eviction of any council tenants if they are found to have been engaged in criminal activities.
Earlier, the prime minister said police had the legal backing to use any tactics necessary to bring the rioting across England under control, including using baton rounds.
Speaking after a meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee, he said: "This continued violence is simply not acceptable, and it will be stopped.
"We will not put up with this in our country. We will not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets."
But Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) president Sir Hugh Orde ruled out using water cannon or baton rounds for now, saying the tactics were not suited to the current unrest.
"Water cannon are used to deal with fixed crowds to buy distance," he said.
"The evidence... is showing very clearly these are fast-moving crowds, where water cannon would not be appropriate."
He added that baton rounds would only be deployed when his officers' lives were under serious threat.
Meanwhile, Home Secretary Theresa May told the BBC she had ordered all police forces in England and Wales to mobilise special constables, cancel leave and adopt a "tough, robust approach".
Six forces have requested assistance for Wednesday evening, according to Acpo, which is co-ordinating resources in England and Wales.
They are Avon and Somerset, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester Police, the Metropolitan Police, Nottinghamshire, and West Midlands.

Sitting in the dock in a blue tracksuit top, the 11-year-old boy was barely big enough to see over the wooden ledge into the main body of the courtroom.
But, according to the prosecution, the child had been among the hundreds arrested in connection with the rioting in London over the past few nights.
He was the youngest to appear at Highbury on Wednesday, and admitted taking a wastepaper basket from a branch of Debenhams in Romford, which was looted by rioters.
Others brought before magistrates included a man who works in a primary school, a student and a convicted drug dealer. Nearly all will be sentenced at crown courts which have the powers to impose tougher penalties.
The 11-year-old is due at a youth court at the end of the month. Despite his tender age, he spent last night in a police cell. He's been told to observe a curfew between 18:00 and 06:00 until his fate is decided.
Analysis: Courts run all night
Earlier, Mr Cameron said: "We have seen the worst of Britain, but I also believe we have seen some of the best of Britain - the million people who have signed up on Facebook to support the police, coming together in the clean-up operations.
"There are pockets of our society that are not just broken, but are frankly sick.
"It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society, people allowed to feel the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities and their actions do not have consequences. Well, they do have consequences."
The Met Police has made 820 arrests and charged 279 people in connection with violence in the capital.
In London, three courts will stay open all night on Wednesday to deal with some of the scores of people facing mainly disorder and burglary charges after four nights of rioting.
In other developments:
Mr Cameron said anyone convicted of violent disorder would be sent to prison.
London mayor Boris Johnson urged the government to reconsider its "pretty frail" plans to cut police numbers, saying the argument had been "substantially weakened" by the riots.
And Labour shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said agreed, adding the plans needed to be reconsidered.
"It is staggering and utterly shameful if it has taken these appalling events for ministers to start waking up to what everyone else has known all along," she said.
"Cutting 16,000 officers - the equivalent of every officer on the streets of London last night - at a time like this is deeply irresponsible."
But the Home Office said the reductions in the police budget were manageable.
At a press conference, Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said he had seen "the most sickening scenes" of his career, and said the force had been overwhelmed.

Some 113 people have been arrested so far over the trouble in Manchester and Salford, where hundreds of youths looted shops and set fire to cars and buildings.
He said the force was "absolutely intent" on bringing the rioters to justice and his officers were already studying CCTV.
"Hundreds and hundreds of people, we have your image, we have your face, we have your acts of wanton criminality on film. We are coming for you, from today and no matter how long it takes, we will arrest those people responsible," he said.
In the West Midlands, 163 people had been arrested by Wednesday morning, and police chiefs say at the height of the disorder it was at a rate of about one person per minute.
Chief Constable Chris Sims said it was "another very difficult night" in Birmingham and across the region, with gangs of up to 40 people and "limited disorder" in West Bromwich and Wolverhampton.
The riots first flared on Saturday after a peaceful protest in Tottenham over the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, 29, by police.


Question: Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom after voters decisively rejected independence.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

With the results in from all 32 council areas, the "No" side won with 2,001,926 votes over 1,617,989 for "Yes".
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond called for unity and urged the unionist parties to deliver on more powers.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was delighted the UK would remain together and that commitments on extra powers would be honoured "in full".
Mr Cameron said the three main unionist parties at Westminster would now follow through with their pledge of more powers for the Scottish Parliament.
He announced that Lord Smith of Kelvin, who led Glasgow's staging of the Commonwealth Games, would oversee the process to take forward the commitments, with new powers over tax, spending and welfare to be agreed by November, and draft legislation published by January.
Scottish referendum results in detail
The prime minister also acknowledged that the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have a bigger say over their affairs.
And he promised a solution to the West Lothian question - the fact that Scottish MPs can vote on English issues at Westminster, and not the other way round.
In other developments:
The result became a mathematical certainty at 06:08, as the returning officer in Fife announced a comfortable No vote.
Shortly afterwards, Mr Salmond said he accepted the defeat and called for national unity.
He told supporters: "The unionist parties made vows late in the campaign to devolve more powers to Scotland.
"Scotland will expect these to be honoured in rapid course - as a reminder, we have been promised a second reading of a Scotland Bill by March 27 next year.
And the first minister said: "Whatever else we can say about this referendum campaign, we have touched sections of the community who have never before been touched by politics, these sections of the community have touched us and touched the political process."
In a rallying call to his supporters, Mr Salmond urged the Yes voters to reflect on how far they had come."I don't think any of us, whenever we entered politics, would have thought such a thing to be either credible or possible," he said.
He also claimed the campaign had put "a scare and a fear of enormous proportions" at the heart of the Westminster establishment.
"Today of all days as we bring Scotland together, let us not dwell on the distance we have fallen short, let us dwell on the distance we have travelled and have confidence the movement is abroad in Scotland that will take this nation forward," he added.
The margin of victory for the Better Together campaign - 55% to 45% - was greater by about 3% than that anticipated by the final opinion polls. The winning total needed was 1,852,828.
Speaking in Downing Street, Mr Cameron said the result was decisive.
He said: "Now the debate has been settled for a generation, or as Alex Salmond has said: 'Perhaps for a lifetime'.
"So there can be no disputes, no re-runs; we have heard the will of the Scottish people."
The prime minister also spoke of the implications for the other nations of the UK.
"In Wales there are proposals to give the Welsh Government and Assembly more powers and I want Wales to be at the heart of the debate on how to make the United Kingdom work for all our nations," he said.
"In Northern Ireland, we must work to ensure that the devolved institutions function effectively."
Mr Cameron said "millions of voices of England must also be heard".
"The question of English votes for English laws, the so-called West Lothian question, requires a decisive answer so just as Scotland will vote separately in the Scottish Parliament on their issues on tax, spending and welfare, so too England as well as Wales and Northern Ireland should be able to vote on these issues.
"And all this must take place in tandem with and at the same pace as the settlement for Scotland."
Analysis by Andrew Marr, author and BBC presenter
What started as a vote on whether Scotland would leave the UK has ended with an extraordinary constitutional revolution announced outside Downing Street by the Prime Minister.
It throws down the gauntlet to the Labour Party, and hints that we are going to see very big change coming and it had better come quickly.
We always used to be told that if you laid all the economists in the world end to end they still wouldn't reach a conclusion and I think that could be said often about parliamentary committees and inquiries and commissions.
Well, it can't happen this time because it's not taking place in a sealed room with the Westminster parties, the old smug consensus, getting round an argument with each other as before.
This is really taking place in a huge glass house, being watched by all the Scottish voters and by millions of people around the UK.
What the Scottish shock has done is produce a constitutional revolution on a very, very tight timetable. Possibly the most exciting political story in my lifetime.
Following his appointment by the prime minister, Lord Smith of Kelvin said he had begun work to oversee the process of delivering more powers for the Scottish Parliament.
He said: "There is an appetite for change and a strengthening of the powers for the Scottish Parliament. This is backed by all the main political parties.
"My role is to create a process through which we can channel that energy into real action.
"This won't be a drawn out process; I have started work today and will present what I hope will be unifying recommendations on 30th November."
Lord Kelvin said there would be an opportunity for "everyone to have their say".
He promised to engage with all political parties, trade unions, businesses or voluntary organisations and listen to "ideas and thoughts" from ordinary people.
Alistair Darling, who led the Better Together campaign, said the people of Scotland had "chosen unity over division and positive change rather than needless separation".
"It is a momentous result for Scotland and also for the United Kingdom as a whole," he said.
Mr Darling said the result had "reaffirmed all that we have in common and the bonds that tie us together", adding: "Let them never be broken."
"As we celebrate, let us also listen," he said.
Across Scotland, the "No" vote had a majority in 28 of the country's 32 local authority areas.
Dundee was the first area to back independence. On a turnout of 78.8%, "Yes" polled 53,620 votes to the "No" campaign's 39,880.
The other three areas were all clustered in Labour's traditional west of Scotland heartland.
Glasgow, Scotland's largest council area and the third largest city in Britain, voted in favour of independence by 194,779 to 169,347, although turnout was lower than in other areas at 75%.
West Dunbartonshire also gave its backing to independence, voting 54% to 46% in favour, with North Lanarkshire completing the "Yes" quartet by 51% to 49%.
In Scotland's 28 other local authority areas, it was a night of huge disappointment for the pro-independence movement.
Hoped-for breakthroughs in other traditional Labour strongholds such as South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde and across Ayrshire never materialised.
Edinburgh, the nation's capital, clearly rejected independence by 194,638 to 123,927 votes, while Aberdeen City voted "No" by a margin of more than 20,000 votes.
Royal correspondent Nick Witchell at Balmoral
Balmoral seems very remote and cut off but of course the Royal Family has been following this minutely.
Reaction - one word, relief. Relief that's it's over, relief that Scotland has decided what it has.
The Queen undoubtedly, privately would have felt immense sadness had the United Kingdom been split up.
Relief too for her officials who had been starting to contemplate some very tricky constitutional issues.
Once all the politicians have said what they wish to say, I think this afternoon it is expected that the Queen will issue a short written statement.
It seems logical to surmise that after this really quite divisive campaign she will concentrate on the vote, the decision that Scotland has taken, and express the hope that Scotland will now move on.

The survey, carried out by market research agency, Millward Brown, showed 23% of those who intend to vote want to leave the EU, while 22% are still undecided.
The research was carried out last month and the results were released on Friday.
One thousand people were surveyed and of those 695 said they would vote.
The results also suggested that Catholics were twice as likely as Protestants to vote to stay in the EU.
The referendum on whether Britain should leave the EU will be held on 23 June.

The 22-year-old animal, called Cheeky, received 16 puncture wounds to both hind legs, the abdomen and neck at Greenmeadow Community Farm, Cwmbran.
She received treatment from a vet, and is back at the farm where she is continuing to recover.
The youths, two male 17 year olds from Cwmbran, have been bailed pending phone and forensic examinations.
The donkey was injured almost a month ago at the community farm.
Gwent Police have renewed an appeal for anyone with information about the attack on Cheeky to contact them on the non-emergency 101 number.

Police say the death is not being treated as suspicious.
It has emerged she sent a Valentine's message on Facebook to her five children less than an hour before she was discovered in the town.
Ms Williams' body was found on Sunday night in a shelter at Newry Beach.

Question: Sebastian Vettel says he believes Ferrari's new car will bring him "closer" to world champions Mercedes at the start of the Formula 1 season.

The question is, how much closer? Well, the indications from the final pre-season test are that it might just be enough for Ferrari to make a fight of this year.
The concern among neutrals after two dominant championships from Mercedes and an imposing performance at the first test last week was that Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg et al were simply going to pick up where they left off at the end of 2015.
But the picture has shifted during this week's second test and Ferrari now look much more credible contenders.
This was underlined when Rosberg said at the end of the test: "We know Ferrari are very close - but we're not sure if we're ahead or behind."
Logic alone suggests that Ferrari ought to pose a bigger threat to Mercedes this year.
In 2015, they were on average 0.6secs down in qualifying. Vettel took three wins - to Hamilton's 10 and Rosberg's six. But two of them came about because Mercedes were compromised in one way or another, and the final one on a bizarre off-weekend for the champions in Singapore.
However, rivals believe Ferrari have benefited in the design of their 2016 car by exploiting a loophole in the limits on wind-tunnel time and computer-aided design research that existed as a result of their new partnership with Haas. It has now been closed.
And Ferrari's engine last year had some layout compromises compared to the Mercedes, which have been addressed for this season.
At the same time, as the Mercedes was by definition more optimised last year, in theory there is less room for improvement.
Having said that, it became clear in a media briefing at Mercedes' engine HQ recently that significant gains are still being made in terms of thermal efficiency - and therefore performance.
And the Mercedes chassis has some very interesting innovations on it aimed at improving aerodynamic downforce.
In short, Mercedes have improved on an already formidable package.
The teams spent eight days over two weeks preparing at Spain's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
But how to divine the truth from the thousands of laps in the face of so many variables - tyres, fuel load, track conditions, engine mode, etc?
As Vettel put it: "Before it was always a question of how much - or little - fuel everybody was running. Today there are 10 other things that have to be considered when looking at the time sheets.
"So in the end it is all guesswork when making statements about who is where in the pecking order. The feeling is good - and that is what is important for me."
The teams have ways of eliminating many of these variables. But they are always reluctant to give too much away. Partly this is because even the teams, with their mountains of data, cannot be absolutely sure where everyone stands.
From the outside, though, it is possible to have a stab at it.
We know the tyres the time was set on. And we can eliminate the effect of fuel weight to a certain degree by looking at how long was the run on which the time was set.
In other words, you might not know the exact fuel load, but you know the minimum the car must have been carrying and can off-set the lap time against that.
It is far from an exact science and any attempt to "correct" the lap times is inherently flawed.
Nevertheless, apply these "corrections" to the list of times and quite often it turns out that a driver's best lap was not the headline fastest at all.
The best lap of the winter, for example, appears to have been one done by Rosberg on the medium tyre on an eight-lap run on Thursday. Hamilton did an almost identical time on Friday morning
So, take each driver's fastest time on each type of tyre throughout the second test and apply these factors corrected to a soft-tyre time, and you end up with a list of the fastest lap for each team that looks like this:
Mercedes (Rosberg) 1:22.6
Ferrari (Raikkonen) 1:22.9
Williams (Massa) 1:23.4
Red Bull (Ricciardo) 1:23.7
Toro Rosso (Verstappen) 1:23.7
Force India (Hulkenberg) 1:24.0
Renault (Magnussen) 1:24.4
McLaren (Alonso) 1:24.6
Sauber (Nasr) 1:24.8
Haas (Grosjean) 1:24.9
Manor (Wehrlein) 1:25.6
That's just single lap times. But Ferrari and Mercedes also did race-simulation runs, albeit on different days. And the average lap times for those are:
Hamilton 1:29.1
Rosberg 1:29.3
Raikkonen 1:29.4
Vettel 1:29.5
If those figures are right - and it's a big "if", with all the caveats and so on - then that suggests Ferrari have about halved the gap to Mercedes over the winter.
At that sort of margin, the difference between the two cars could be small enough to ensure that the typical vagaries of an F1 season were enough to make a proper championship battle between two teams.
Hamilton v Rosberg v Vettel and maybe Kimi Raikkonen, too, if he can get his act together. Sounds pretty enticing, doesn't it?
A small deficit, but one marginal enough to enable a world-class driver to mount a title assault in a car that is not as good as the best, are exactly the circumstances in which Fernando Alonso came agonisingly close to winning the title with Ferrari in 2010 and 2012.
A penny for the the thoughts of the final member of F1's "big three", then, if it turns out this way in 2016, because Alonso could have been driving this Ferrari.
The 34-year-old, as he reminded the world in a Spanish radio interview ahead of the final test, negotiated a way out of his Ferrari contract two years early at the end of 2014 because he lost faith that the team would ever be title contenders.
Ferrari were trying to convince him to sign a new contract until 2019, he said (although senior insiders say the team were beginning to feel they, too, needed a change).
Alonso said driving for Ferrari was a "wonderful experience" but that the stress of all those near-misses had got too much and he was not interested in "staying at Ferrari until 2019 to be third".
"I think I would never been world champion there," he said. "Now I enjoy Formula 1 more 10 positions further behind. I wanted a new project and McLaren-Honda was the most convincing."
Well, it is not that convincing yet, judging by pre-season testing.
Honda has undoubtedly made some serious steps with its engine - hybrid energy deployment, a major shortcoming last year that left the engine as much as 250bhp down on the straights, has improved "massively", according to Alonso's team-mate Jenson Button.
But the engine is still a long way off the pace. Even Alonso allows it may be 80bhp down. Some say it could be as much as 100bhp.
There have been flashes of pace from McLaren, and the team have new parts to fit at the first race that were not ready in time for testing. But the best evidence is that they will be mixing it towards the back of the midfield with the likes of Renault and the new US-based Haas team.
Between McLaren and the front is still the best part of two seconds - and the Williams, Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Force India teams.
On the positive side, Honda's new F1 boss Yusuka Hasegawa has made a good first impression at McLaren and this has renewed confidence within the team that the engine can make the promised significant steps forward this year.
The final days of testing were overshadowed by a series of off-track controversies - about the introduction of a new-style qualifying system and the new "halo" head protection system.
The elimination-style qualifying format will be used in Australia after a week of to-ing and fro-ing that many felt made the sport look ridiculous.
The big problem was Bernie Ecclestone's decision to reveal that his FOM company had told him they could not sort out the timing software and on-screen graphics in time, something one senior insider described as "pathetic".
Had Ecclestone kept his mouth shut, the suggestion from the teams to run the last part of qualifying without the elimination system would have been seen as what it was - them doing what they had been asked to do and pointing out any potential flaws.
Now, FOM has apparently decided it can do the necessary after all and the new format has been adopted wholesale. Despite concerns that in the final shoot-out the action will all be at the beginning, followed by a whole load of nothing because no-one has any fresh tyres left to improve his time.
The drivers are not keen. As Hamilton said: "I've generally enjoyed the qualifying we had for the last few years so that's why the changes we've made don't make sense to me in my head right now. But don't knock it until you've tried it and then immediately we'll get comments from the fans."
As for the halo, yes, some drivers don't like it, especially the world champion; yes, aesthetically it leaves a fair bit to be desired; and, yes, seeing it is a shock to the system.
But one wonders if F1 would not already be using such a device if, for example, Alonso's head had been hit by Romain Grosjean's flying Lotus at the start of the 2012 Belgian Grand Prix - a tragedy that was avoided by centimetres.
Alonso was close to Jules Bianchi, who died last July of head injuries sustained in a crash in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, so it is no surprise to see that he is one of the majority of drivers who back the system, calling it "a step in the right direction".
It was Vettel, though, who arguably put it best, as he referenced the deaths of two drivers in other categories from head injuries in recent years.
"In principle, I agree it doesn't look very nice," the Ferrari driver said. "It's not the picture of Formula 1 you are used to for a long time.
"But equally if it helps increase safety and saves lives… There would be at least two drivers in the last four years that I remember would still be around, Henry Surtees and Justin Wilson, if we had this type of system.
"It can be as ugly as possible - nothing justifies not having these guys around any more."

If the team had to change the gearbox as a result of damage from Silverstone, Rosberg would be hit with a five-place grid penalty in Hungary this weekend.
Mercedes said Rosberg would run the gearbox in practice on Friday at the Hungaroring "to make sure it is OK".
A spokesman added: "We are optimistic that it will be."
Rosberg was demoted from second to third place at Silverstone after Mercedes were found to have broken rules restricting radio information given by teams to drivers as they tried to help him fix the problem.
The German heads into the weekend with a one-point championship lead over team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
Mercedes have not won the Hungarian Grand Prix since the start of their domination of F1 following the introduction of turbo hybrid engines in 2014.
Hamilton holds the record, jointly with Michael Schumacher, for most wins at the Hungaroring, with four victories.
Rosberg has never finished higher than fourth at the track.
