The works were created by at least 46 patients at the the town's Crichton Royal Hospital in the late 1800s.
Each of them were treated by Dr William Browne, a pioneering physician who believed that art, music and literature could be therapeutic activities for people with mental illnesses.
A Hidden Gem will be on show at Gracefield Arts Centre until 22 August.
It is believed to be the earliest surviving collection of art by a group of psychiatric patients anywhere in the world.
Dr Browne gave an account of his work in an 1880 edition of The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology.
In the article, entitled "Mad Artists", he describes a collection of "three gigantic volumes" produced by "lunatics in different forms and phases of derangement".
Just over 100 years later, in 1983, a large leather bound volume of 134 works of art was found at the hospital. It was called "Art in Madness" by WAF Browne.
It is these works which have been specially mounted and framed for the Gracefield exhibition.
Gracefield's arts officer Dawn Henderby said: "The artwork is delightful in so many ways - fresh and lively with none of the constraints of preconception of what art should be.
"The idea of 'outsider art' has become more common place today, but in the 1880s, Browne's ideas were ground-breaking."
Councillor Tom McAughtrie said: "It's a unique opportunity to see an important collection of work, and see the value that art practice can bring to everyone's lives, irrespective of circumstance, age or ability." | A collection of artwork by patients at a notorious Scottish asylum has gone on display in Dumfries. | 33571034 |
The midfielder was making his way home in the early hours of Sunday morning when the assault happened, just yards from Belfast City Hall.
He is being treated for his injuries at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
Ards Manager Niall Currie visited him on Monday. He said the player was conscious but "not in great shape".
"He was obviously quite sedated with the painkillers, so he was drowsy but his spirits were good."
Mr Currie said the club was "sickened" by the incident.
"We're all just so shocked," he said. "It's just sickening that this could happen to such a lovely, decent fella.
"He's the last person who would attract any kind of confrontation - a gentleman who wouldn't say boo to a goose."
"He's got a lovely family, he's in a lovely relationship with his girlfriend who he's engaged to.
"But fingers crossed he'll make a full recovery and we can bring him into the Ards family again and hopefully he'll be celebrating at the end of the season.
"All of us at the club are thinking about him and praying for him. But he's a strong boy, he'll pull through." | Ards footballer Gary Warwick has suffered a fractured skull and bruising to the brain after being attacked on a night out in Belfast city centre. | 36134729 |
McCaw, who captained the All Blacks to victory in the 2015 World Cup, is the youngest ever member of the order.
It does not carry any title but is restricted to 20 living members at any one time.
"It's an incredible honour," said McCaw, who will be 35 on 31 December. "I've never been comfortable with titles, it's not who I am."
McCaw retired in the wake of New Zealand's success at the World Cup in England, as the All Blacks became the first country to win consecutive tournaments.
He played a world-record 148 Tests, winning 131, and is also a three-time winner of the World Player of the Year award.
"To have my rugby career recognised in this way is very special," said McCaw.
"I've been so lucky to have played with some truly awesome men and while I receive this award, my team-mates are a huge part of our success over the years."
Fellow World Cup winner Dan Carter and the team's mental skills coach, Gilbert Enoka, were made Officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

The opener's 162-run fourth-wicket partnership with nightwatchman Graham Onions helped the hosts recover from 78-3 to 240-4, when the latter fell lbw to Ravi Patel for a career-best 65.
Jennings' century came off 203 balls and included 12 boundaries.
Durham declared on 385-8, as Notts closed on 17-1, needing 300 more runs on the final day to secure victory.
Onions reached his maiden half-century just as Jennings passed three figures for the sixth time in the Championship this season - a Durham record he now shares with Michael Di Venuto and Paul Collingwood.
After Patel removed Onions, Luke Fletcher dismissed Collingwood and Michael Richardson cheaply before Imran Tahir bowled Stuart Poynter.
However, Jennings remained untroubled passing 150 off 284 balls and was ably assisted by Barry McCarthy (28 not out), which allowed Durham to declare when bad light briefly interrupted play shortly before the close.
Relegation-threatened Notts lost Jake Libby in the final over of the day, bowled by Onions.

The tickets cover all of Wales' five home games against Moldova, Georgia, Serbia, Austria and Republic of Ireland.
The final batch of tickets for members of the Wales Supporters Club goes on sale on Tuesday.
Football Supporters' Federation Cymru (FSF) said the number sold so far was "a good sign".
Paul Corkery, of FSF Cymru, said: "It's a sign not only of the team playing well in the Euros, but it's also coupled with the FAW doing wonders and keeping prices low.
"For 10,000 fans to be buying tickets for all five games so far in advance, with some not taking place until next year, it is very encouraging."
Tickets have been sold to club members in four staggered sales according to membership eligibility but are not on sale to the general public.

William Hay said that last week he contacted the police to report the discovery of what appears to be fraud in his Foyle constituency office.
He said it followed an investigation he had begun after an irregular trend in payments from his Assembly Office Cost Expenditure was brought to his attention.
The DUP MLA said he had not previously noticed the irregularity.
Mr Hay also informed the assembly authorities who have begun their own investigation.
Mr Hay said he has suspended a member of his constituency staff pending the outcome.
In a statement, Mr Hay, who is to leave his post for the House of Lords, said he had to take personal responsibility for the fact that his management of affairs in the office did not uncover what was happening earlier.
"No one will be more critical of that than me," he said.

Bridge of Allan-based Angels' Share Glass hopes to increase production and train a new generation of glassmakers.
Co-founder Tom Young has been making glass by hand using traditional methods for nearly 60 years and currently works out of a home workshop.
Plans have been now been drawn up for a fully-equipped studio at the company's premises.
Mr Young, 77, said: "For me in particular, it'll help in terms of passing on my glassblowing skills to a new generation of young glassmakers and keeping the tradition alive."
He started as a scientific glassblower before creating his own designs which he sold at Village Glass, the Bridge of Allan shop he founded in 1979.
Mr Young came out of retirement to devise a process to seal 30ml whisky measures into glass angels.
The company's name is inspired by the myth which claims the portion of a whisky's volume lost during ageing is taken by angels.
Mr Young's daughter Karen Somerville, who is the firm's managing director, said: "We're at a bit of a crossroads now.
"Demand is outstripping supply and we need space to grow the business and allow my dad to train up more apprentices who can help keep glassblowing alive in the heart of Scotland." | A Stirling family firm has launched a £25,000 crowdfunding campaign to create a state-of-the-art glassblowing studio. | 35697032 |
This is on top of a 10% rise decided in August and backdated to the general election.
The latest increase is an annual adjustment decided by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), which takes into account average public sector pay rises.
It is slightly higher than the 1% public sector pay cap introduced by Chancellor George Osborne.
Ipsa says this is due to the fact it uses Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures as its benchmark.
An Ipsa spokesman said: "The ONS index takes account of promotions and bonuses which may explain why the figure is higher than the 1% wider public sector pay policy." | MPs are to receive a 1.3% pay rise from April, taking their salary to £74,962. | 35667715 |
Paul Doswell's men unlocked the Silkmen in the first half. Ross Stearn pounced from close range after goalkeeper Craig Ross could only parry an earlier effort.
Frenchman Bedsente Gomis made it two, rounding off an intricate passing move. The U's were very much on top, and Nicky Bailey also rattled the visitors' crossbar on the stroke of half-time.
After the break, Dean Beckwith again headed against the woodwork as the Gander Green Lane club continued to dominate. And when Andy Halls was given a straight red card for a nasty foul, Macclesfield's race was run.

Dumfries and Galloway Council turned down the scheme because of seismic and radar concerns.
Developer RES said both those objections had now been withdrawn.
A Scottish government reporter has upheld their appeal and ruled the wind farm, near Langholm, can proceed.
Ruth Elder, development project manager, said: "RES is delighted that consent has been granted for Solwaybank wind farm which will be capable of generating enough renewable electricity to power the equivalent average demand of more than 19,000 households.

The Leeds United Supporters' Trust (LUST) is trying to raise £3,800 to paint a wall design on the M621 underpass on Lowfields Road.
It is also on the hunt for interested artists to submit a design to be considered for the wall.
Group chairman Dave Carrington said: "Thousands of supporters pass through here to the game and would see it."
He added he personally would like any mural to celebrate the 1992 title-winning team led by Howard Wilkinson or illustrate the "commitment of Leeds fans".
Leeds United recently bought back the ground 13 years after debts forced its sale.
According to Mr Carrington, the hope is the winning design would "brighten up" the area and give it more of a club identity.
LUST has gained permission from the Highways Agency and Leeds City Council to paint a design.
After a design is chosen, the area will be cleaned in August and it is hoped the mural will be finished in time for the first home game that month. | A fundraising campaign is under way to paint a Leeds United mural on the approach to their Elland Road ground. | 40548669 |
Ronnie Coulter, 48, from Wishaw, denies murdering Mr Chhokar, 32, in Overtown, North Lanarkshire, on 4 November 1998.
He has lodged a special defence blaming his nephew Andrew Coulter, and another man, David Montgomery.
Judge Lord Matthews told jurors: "In order to convict Ronnie Coulter you must be convinced he used a knife and stabbed the deceased."
At the High Court in Glasgow, the judge told the 10 women and four men to take as much time as they needed.
Lord Matthews said: "It's not a case where you want to rush to judgement and I'm sure you won't do that."
The judge also told the jurors there were three verdicts open to them - guilty, not guilty or not proven.
The jury has already heard that Ronnie Coulter, his nephew Andrew and Mr Montgomery went to see Mr Chhokar on the night he died following a row over a £100 Giro cheque.
After an altercation, Mr Chhokar collapsed in front of his partner Liz Bryce.
He was stabbed three times in the chest and one of the blows pierced his heart, resulting in his death from massive blood loss.
The court has also heard how Ronnie Coulter was previously tried for Mr Chhokar's murder in 1999, but cleared of the charge.
Andrew Coulter, who was convicted of stabbing and killing another man in 1999, and Mr Montgomery, were also cleared of Mr Chhokar's murder at another trial in 2000.

The Chinese Football Association (CFA) wrote to all but three of the country's 16 top-flight clubs, as well as five lower-league teams.
The CFA claimed the clubs had outstanding debts on player transfers, salaries or bonuses.
Many of the teams deny the claims, including Shanghai SIPG, who paid £60m for Brazil midfielder Oscar in January.
The CFA's letter follows a similar move by the Asian Football Confederation, which wrote to the CFA on 11 July stating that clubs had until 31 August to clear all outstanding payments or face exclusion from next year's Asian Champions League.
Guangzhou Evergrande, two-time winners of the Asian Champions League, were among the clubs contacted, the CFA said.
In a statement on social media, Shanghai SIPG said they had "fully paid all of the arrears last October" and had "submitted its evidence to the CFA".
Jiangsu Suning, Shandong Luneng and Beijing Guoan issued similar statements while Shanghai Shenhua, who signed Carlos Tevez for a reported £40m in December, said they were investigating and would finalise outstanding payments as soon as possible.
Chinese football authorities have sought to crack down on spending, with new regulations put in place that mean loss-making clubs are hit with a 100% tax on signing players from overseas, effectively doubling transfer fees.

Ms Rollins took gold while teammates Nia Ali clinched silver and Kristi Castlin captured bronze in the event.
The clean sweep was the first by any country in the 100m hurdles and the first by US women in any Olympic event.
Ms Rollins, 25, finished with 12.48 seconds while the two other medals came down to hundredths of seconds.
"I tried to feed off all the positive energy from Team USA," Ms Rollins said. "I'm just happy to share the moment with Kristi and Nia."
The Florida native celebrated her 25th birthday just hours after the win.
The US women's team have historically been the strongest in the world in short hurdles, but have fallen short of victory in recent years.
Last year, six of the 10 fastest run times in the world belonged to Americans, but the team failed to medal at the world championships.
Ms Ali, who was away from the track for more than a year to care for her 15-month-old son, Titus Tinsley, finished with 12.59 seconds.
"He won't remember this but he will see photos and see that you can do anything you put your mind to," the 27-year-old said while holding her son, who watched from the stands.
Ms Castlin, 28, leaned in at the finish to best Great Britain's Cindy Ofili, finishing just .02 seconds ahead of her at 12.61 for the bronze.
"We're from all different states and universities. It feels good to come out and do a great job," she said.

"If you have any information - no matter how small - we would urge you to get in touch with us.
"We are also still trying to trace the weapon used and are looking into the possibility that it may have been discarded following the incident."

Kerri McAuley, 32, died at a property in Southalls Way, Norwich, on Sunday evening.
Joe Storey, 26, appeared at Norwich Crown Court earlier charged with her murder.
In a statement, Ms McAuley's mother described the loss of her daughter as "untimely" and "horrific".
She said: "Words can't describe the pain we are feeling.
"The love and support displayed by her family and friends is overwhelming and immensely comforting.
"[It] is giving us the strength to help carry Kerri's two beautiful boys through their loss, in their words, of the most awesome and everything mummy."
Mr Storey, of Murrells Court in Norwich, was remanded in custody until a plea hearing on March 21.
A provisional trial date has been set for June 5.

Dorset Waste Partnership (DWP) said it would only collect refuse left in new authorised blue bags, and not traditional black sacks.
It said it stopped commercial waste being left out for free collection.
Some people say they have not received the blue sacks, while others claim some are refusing to use them.
Areas in the town affected include East Street and Bath Street.
Steve Burdis, director of DWP, said it was "working hard" to resolve the issues.
He residents had been sent letters about the changes to collections, which came into force last week.
John Gough, the manager of the Cutter Hotel, said many residents had not received blue bags.
He said the commercial waste collection was good, but that the domestic one "leaves a lot to be desired".
A Bath Street resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, described the situation as "disgusting".
She said although residents in her street had received blue bags, some were not using them.
She added discarded black bags were being opened by seagulls, leading to dirty nappies and other waste being "strewn across the streets".
Mr Burdis said DWP would visit residents "for the rest of the week" and advise them about the changes, as well as deliver more blue sacks.

The final is a repeat of the last time the trophy was contested in 2013, when Team USA came from 8-1 down to win 9-8.
Four years ago, New Zealand were eventually overhauled by an Oracle team that featured Britain's Ben Ainslie as tactician in what is regarded as one of sport's great comebacks.

The signs, to honour Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter, were misspelt Parkhurst Close and Chrisable Walk.
Emmeline Pankhurst lived in Seedley where the new streets have been built.
Councillor John Warmisham, who had suggested the street names, said he was "gutted" by the error.

The Labour councillor for Pendleton said the misspelling had been pointed out by a constituent and he raised the matter with Urban Vision who are responsible for naming streets in the city.
"They told me that they sent the correct spellings to the developers Countryside Properties so something must have gone wrong somewhere," he said.
Emmeline Pankhurst was the founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) that campaigned for women's suffrage.
Her daughters Christabel and Sylvia were also leading figures in the suffragette movement.
A spokeswoman for Countryside Properties said: "Our attention has been drawn to the spelling mistakes made on the new street signs at the new Liverpool Street development in Salford.
"Countryside accepts full responsibility for this matter and we would like to apologise for any offence caused. We took the signs down as soon as we realised the error and new ones will be in place as soon as possible."

Kelly Turner, 16, from Dover, Kent was diagnosed with desmoplastic small round cell tumour in 2015 and has been told she has two years to live.
Her family is trying to raise £1m to pay for specialist treatment in the US.
The cash was raised at Adams' concert at Kent County Cricket Club's ground in Canterbury on Saturday.
Canadian star Adams posted on his Facebook page: "People power!
"Last night we did something different at the Canterbury concert.
"We passed a bin around between the audience and the band, and spontaneously raised around £10,000 for 16-year-old Kelly Turner who is suffering from a rare form of cancer.
"The bin came back twice!

Actress Genevieve Sabourin, 41, was found guilty of stalking, attempted aggravated harassment, harassment and attempted contempt of court.
The judgement in New York came a day after Sabourin was sentenced to 30 days in prison for contempt of court.
Baldwin, 55, testified during the trial that Sabourin had besieged him with unwanted phone calls and emails.
He denied having a relationship with the woman and accused her of subjecting him and his wife Hilaria to "dangerous" harassment.
The actor testified that he had met Sabourin over lunch with a mutual friend in 2000 when he was filming in Montreal.
He said he had met her again in 2010 to offer her career advice - a meeting Sabourin claimed had ended with a sexual tryst.
The actress said she had merely wanted him to explain why he did not want to see her anymore following their alleged brief romance.
Judge Thomas Mandelbaum said on Thursday that she had no right to pursue contact with the star that she knew would be unwelcome.
He said she had waged a "relentless and escalating campaign of threats" against the Baldwins and had shown an "utter lack of respect" for the law.
Sabourin was composed but defiant after the verdict was announced, telling the judge she was "innocent" and had not done anything wrong.
Baldwin, star of Beetlejuice and The Hunt for Red October, has been best known in recent years for his Jack Donaghy role in the sitcom 30 Rock.

But the Department for Work and Pensions says food bank use has "complex" causes and it is "misleading" to point to any one cause.
The food bank figures, from April 2016 to March 2017, show an increase of about 74,000 emergency supplies provided compared with the previous year, based on a network of more than 400 distribution centres.
The charity says that delays in benefits, debt and insecure employment are among the reasons that people have to turn to food banks for help.
In particular, the charity says that the introduction of universal credit seems to be causing a gap in benefits which causes families to turn to food banks.
Trust chief executive David McAuley said the findings provided an "early warning" about "unforeseen consequences" from the benefits changes.
But a Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said there were more complex reasons underlying the use of food banks.
"Under universal credit people are moving into work faster and staying in work longer than under the old system," he said.
The food bank charity reports that more than 400,000 of the recipients were children.
Official figures published last month show that most child poverty is now concentrated in working families.
More than two-thirds of children classified as living in poverty are in families where at least one parent is working - the highest levels on record. | A food bank network provided almost 1.2 million batches of three-day food and basic supplies in the past year. | 39704993 |
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT), will strike for a second time this week in a row over pay and conditions on the service.
Transport for London (TfL) stressed it was "focussed on 12 September" for the launch, but the RMT says bosses privately believe it is not possible.
Four unions have rejected London Underground's latest pay deal.
"These tubes are going to be running for the best part of 72 hours," an RMT spokesman said.
"At the moment they're going to lose two engineering and maintenance shifts.
"These shifts are absolutely essential in terms of testing the infrastructure, cleaning the tunnels, getting rid of the dust. The only time they're going to have to fix these problems is overnight on Sunday. They haven't planned for any of this.
"Behind the scenes TfL managers are telling you this ain't gonna work."
The RMT said its members will be forced to work extra shifts to plug "gaping holes" in staff capacity.
The Unite union, the train drivers' union Aslef and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) have also rejected the latest offer from London Underground, which is designed to compensate staff for weekend night working.
This week's 24-hour strike will start at 21:30 BST on Wednesday, although commuters travelling home during the evening rush hour are expected to face delays. | Union bosses have warned there will be "chaos" if the Night Tube is launched in London as planned next month. | 33775142 |
Kaboul, 30, has joined from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal after asking for a move away from the north-east for personal reasons.
Pereyra, 25, becomes the Hornets' record signing on a five-year contract.
Watford's previous record transfer was the £12.5m they paid Granada for striker Isaac Success in July. The fee for Pereyra has not yet been revealed.
Before joining Juventus, initially on loan, in 2014, Pereyra played for Udinese, the Italian club owned by the Pozzo family, who also own Watford.
He has 10 full caps for Argentina and was part of their 2015 Copa America squad.
His transfer is subject to Watford obtaining a work permit for him.

Waiting lists dipped below 350 patients by June this year - with most waiting under 10 weeks.
That is half the 700 waiting for heart surgery at the start of 2014 - with 290 patients in Cardiff and Swansea waiting more than six months.
Patients have also backed the initiative after their treatment.
Those surveyed after surgery gave the project a high satisfaction rating.
It saw them offered treatment at hospitals in London, Bristol and Birmingham, as a temporary measure to tackle the Welsh waiting lists.
A review by the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (WHSSC) looked at how effective outsourcing surgery had been.
It found "significant numbers" of patients had benefited and "many more no longer live with the uncertainty of very long treatment waits".
The review said the project was particularly successful in Swansea, where 126 cardiac patients on the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg list were given surgery outside Wales, mostly at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
The Swansea cardiac waiting list fell by around 320 patients overall, partly due to better management and improved processes.
More than 100 patients were also treated at Bristol's private Spire Hospital and at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
The decision to treat patients outside Wales came after concerns by the Royal College of Surgeons two years ago that patients were "regularly dying on waiting lists" at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
The Cardiff and Vale health board brought in a series of measures, including recruiting extra staff and introducing weekend working. | Giving 260 heart patients surgery outside Wales - including at a private hospital - has helped cut waiting times, says a health service review. | 34834830 |
Abi Wardle, 16, from Galashiels, was given The Annie Dow Heroism Award (TADHA) and £2,500 in Edinburgh on Thursday.
She was nominated after both her mother and brother collapsed with breathing problems within days of each other.
Having recently completed a first aid course, the young woman knew exactly how to react.
She performed CPR on her mother, Lisa, until the paramedics arrived. When her brother, Ben, collapsed she put him in the recovery position and unblocked his airways.
Since then they have both been diagnosed with whooping cough.
Abi was nominated by Jo Glover, co-ordinator at Action for Children's Scottish Borders Young Carers service. She said: "On top of her heroic actions, Abi is also a carer for her dad, Peter, who has cancer.
"She is a truly remarkable young woman and I wanted her to know just how much her heroic actions mean to both her family and the local community."
TADHA founder Sophie Dow said: "We believe that the true definition of a hero is someone who can stay calm under pressure, in a crisis or an emergency, knows what to do and does it well without panicking.
"Abi Wardle did just that. Without her heroic actions, her mother and brother simply wouldn't be here today."
Abi said she was "over the moon" to win the award. She added: "I'm so glad that I did that first aid course as it meant that when mum and Ben collapsed, I knew exactly what to do and didn't even need to think about it." | A teenage carer has received an award for heroism, after saving the lives of her mother and younger brother. | 31965810 |
Theresa May's former chief of staff left Downing Street after the election, in which the Tories lost their majority.
That was widely blamed on a manifesto of which Timothy had been the main author.
Long before he became one of May's two chiefs of staff, together with Fiona Hill, Timothy had become established as an influential Conservative thinker.
He has published a pamphlet on Joe Chamberlain, wrote a series of articles for the website ConservativeHome and for a while ran the New Schools Network, the organisation set up to help parents create free schools.
He also wrote about what went wrong in the Conservative's campaign for The Spectator.
After the election result in June, there was a sustained assault on the chiefs of staff in a series of articles that appeared across UK media, though the most ferocious score-settling seemed to be preserved for Hill.
In a series of articles for The Times, former Number 10 director of communications Katie Perrior launched a highly personal attack on the Prime Minister's former top team.
Timothy's hiring by the Telegraph opens up the enticing prospect of some further score-settling.
But his priority may well be elucidating a vision of conservatism which - though it may not have been matched by a clear retail offer in the manifesto - had previously struck many of his fellow Tories as timely.
He will be interviewed in this Saturday's Telegraph, and start writing a weekly column for the paper next Thursday.
The day of his column for The Sun, which may be monthly, is not yet fixed.

Craig Michael Hughes, 33, said he hated police officers and planned to report a false crime about a number of people on marshes of the Dee Estuary.
Police would turn up in numbers and he would open fire, he said during a chat with an American crisis helpline.
Hughes, of Flint, Flintshire, admitted making threats to kill and was jailed for 12 months at Mold Crown Court.
David Mainstone, prosecuting, said Hughes told the online Hope Line Crisis Centre 20 August: "I am a suicidal gunman with a real passion for hating the police.
"Do you think you can talk me out of being the next Dale Cregan or Raoul Moat?"
He also wrote on an online helpline: "I am thinking of dropping off the planet, but I will have a lot of fun before I go and repay those who hate me and put me in this mindset."
Hughes said he wanted to commit suicide and take as many police officers as he could with him.
Staff were so concerned by his comments in two separate calls that they alerted the police.
Officers who went to his home recovered weapons which were lawfully held because they were antiques.
Andrew Green, defending, said Hughes made drunken empty threats and had no intention of carrying them out.
Judge Niclas Parry said: "To describe the level of public concern regarding so called headline attacks upon those tasked with protecting the public as high would be an understatement." | A man obsessed with guns told a suicide helpline he was considering becoming another Raoul Moat, a court has heard. | 34605290 |
Boyega, 24, confirmed his involvement on Twitter, saying he was both "very excited" and "so happy" to be on board as both an actor and producer.
Steven S DeKnight will direct Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, which will follow on from Guillermo del Toro's original.
Del Toro said he "couldn't think of a better man for the job (than Boyega)".
"I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox," said the Mexican film-maker, who is also among the new film's producers.
"The Pacific Rim universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world."
Elba played officer Stacker Pentecost in the original film, which told of a war between giant monsters and the giant robots man builds to defeat them.
Fellow Londoner Boyega is best known for his role as stormtrooper Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a sequel to which is currently in production.
DeKnight is best known as the creator of the US TV series Spartacus.

The 24-year-old has agreed a five-year deal and will link up with his new team-mates in early July before their pre-season training camp in Austria.
Maguire told the Foxes' website: "There were a number of clubs interested, but when I met the manager here, he pretty much swayed it into the direction of this club.
"Leicester are on the up and it looks very promising for the future."
BBC Radio Humberside understands the deal comprises an initial £12m fee with add-ons.
Maguire's former club Sheffield United will also profit as they agreed a sell-on clause with Hull in 2014 - thought to be 10% of any fee over the £3m they received for the defender from the Tigers.
BBC Radio Leicester's Ian Stringer:
The Foxes are in urgent need of reinforcements in the heart of their defence. Captain Wes Morgan and Robert Huth have been brilliant, clearly playing through pain at times, but they need support.
Maguire ticks plenty of boxes. He has Premier League experience, plays plenty of games and does not seem to suffer injury too regularly.
It's a big summer for new boss Craig Shakespeare and this seems a very sensible start.

Aberdeenshire West MSP Alexander Burnett was elected in May.
The SNP said the allegations were a "serious matter", but the Scottish Conservatives said the SNP was "engaged in a nothing more than a politically-motivated fishing expedition".
Police said an election expenses complaint was under consideration.
An SNP spokesperson said: "The fact that these allegations have now been reported to Police Scotland, in line with the advice of the Electoral Commission, underlines the seriousness of this matter for Alexander Burnett and Ruth Davidson.
"As such, it is only right that the police are now given the opportunity to fully investigate any potential breach of election rules."

The 28-year-old tweeted: "I've heard if you earn minimum wage in England you're in the top 10% earners in the world. #stay #humble."
Broad, who is in Australia on England duty, deleted the message after angry replies from some Twitter users.
Broad then posted: "No offence meant and sorry if any taken. The hashtag was aimed at myself."
In an interview with the BBC, the Nottinghamshire seamer tried to explain further the reasons for his tweet.
"I didn't mean anything by it," he told Test Match Special reporter Charles Dagnall. "It was purely… I was amazed by the size of the world."
Broad is due to face India in the tri-series in Sydney on Friday.
In another post, he wrote: "Clarifying my earlier tweet, I merely wanted to emphasise my amazement at just how big the world is."

A family spokesperson said she died at a Boca Raton hospice after suffering from cancer.
Before and after marrying Nat in 1948, Maria Cole had her own singing career, performing with greats such as Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
After her husband died in 1965, also from cancer, she created the Cole Cancer Foundation.
Born in Boston in 1922, Maria moved to North Carolina as child after her mother died. She later moved to New York to pursue a music career.
Duke Ellington heard recordings of her singing and hired her as a vocalist with his orchestra.
She stayed with him until 1946 when she went solo at the city's Club Zanzibar as an opening act for the Mills Brothers.
It was there she met her future husband, and she continued to travel and perform with Nat throughout the 1950s.
Her children, Natalie, Timolin and Casey Cole, said in a joint statement: "Our mum was in a class all by herself.
"She epitomised class, elegance, and truly defined what it is to be a real lady. She died how she lived - with great strength, courage and dignity, surrounded by her loving family." | Maria Cole, widow of Nat King Cole and mother to singer Natalie Cole, has died in Florida aged 89. | 18810311 |
The chapel, to commemorate the Battle of Towton (1461), was begun by Richard in 1483 but his death two years later meant it was never completed.
A team from the University of York said masonry found at Towton, Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, was "likely" to be the remains of the structure.
The team said a larger excavation would be needed to prove it beyond doubt.
Lead archaeologist, Tim Sutherland, has been searching for the remains of the chapel since 1997.
"We were beginning to think there was no structural remains left but we eventually came across large chunks of medieval masonry.
"We've talked to various stonemason experts and they have said 'yes it is almost certainly evidence of a late 15th century ecclesiastical structure.'"
The Battle of Towton was a key battle in the Wars of the Roses, a dynastic clash for the English throne in the 15th century between the Houses of York and Lancaster.
Historians regard it as one of the bloodiest battle on British soil with up to 28,000 men being killed.
The Yorkist victory at Towton ensured Edward of York became King as Edward IV replacing the Lancastrian Henry VI.
Edward IV died in 1483 and his brother Richard III took the throne.
Work began on the chapel but, Mr Sutherland said, it is not known how complete it was when Richard was defeated and killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
He said the chapel's exact location was not being disclosed as it was on private land and excavation work was continuing. | Archaeologists claim to have found the remains of a chapel built by Richard III after a 16-year search. | 24434795 |
The Potters midfielder scored in the 2-2 draw on 6 October but came off after the break in Vienna.
Allen was ruled out of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Georgia after scans showed the extent of the injury.
"We're still checking on Joe, he hasn't trained with the group yet," the former Wales manager said.
"We would have given him an extra day's rest but he trained with Wales and that's probably compromised him a little bit so they have to be a little bit careful in that regard."
Hughes' side face Sunderland at home on Saturday, hoping to pick up their first win in the Premier League this season, but the Stoke boss hopes the summer signing from Liverpool will be fit to feature against the Black Cats.
"We've just got to be a little bit careful with him; unfortunately he probably did a little bit too much with the Welsh squad," Hughes said.
Hughes later spoke at a press conference about Allen's injury and was asked if the player would be fit to face Sunderland.
"Joe Allen is doubtful, but we are hopeful on him," replied Hughes.
"He has had a bit of discomfort, which is probably down to the workload he has put in.
"He has had a busy summer and is now playing week in, week out, which maybe he hasn't done for a while.
"You can see the amount of work he puts in on the pitch, so we have to be a little bit careful with him."

The Swiss bank said US regulators were investigating potential sales of so called "bearer bonds".
These bonds can be transferred without registering ownership, enabling wealthy clients to potentially hide assets.
"We are cooperating with the authorities in these investigations," the bank said.
The fresh investigation by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and from the US Securities and Exchange Commission comes after UBS paid $780m (£512m) in 2009 to settle a separate Justice Department tax-evasion probe.
And it comes as authorities in a range of countries are considering examining HSBC's actions in helping more than 100,000 wealthy individuals avoid paying tax.
UBS made the announcement as it revealed a better-than-expected 13% rise in fourth quarter net profit to 963m Swiss francs (£683.9m).
However, it warned the increased value of the Swiss franc relative to other currencies, following the Swiss National Bank's decision to abandon the cap on the currency's value against the euro, would "put pressure" on its profitability.
"The increased value of the Swiss franc relative to other currencies, especially the US dollar and the euro, and negative interest rates in the eurozone and Switzerland will put pressure on our profitability and, if they persist, on some of our targeted performance levels," it warned.
UBS results for the full year, were hit by more than $1bn to settle past scandals. In November, it was one of six banks fined by UK and US regulators over their traders' attempted manipulation of foreign exchange rates, paying 774m Swiss francs in total.
It also paid $300m in the second quarter to settle charges it helped wealthy German clients evade tax.

Trefilan school will shut after parents agreed to transfer their children to Dihewyd school six miles (10km) away.
Ceredigion council also voted to close Llanafan primary school after a motion to keep it open was defeated.
Llanddewi Brefi and Tregaron primaries will be replaced with a community school based at Tregaron High School.
Pupils are due to move to new school in time for September 2015.

The Museum of Orange Heritage will allow visitors to learn more about the roots and history of Orangeism in Ireland and around the world.
The museum was part-funded by £3.6m of EU peace-fund money.
Dr David Hume of the Orange Order said he wanted to give people a "better, more informed view of who we are".
"We, in turn, will have a better, more informed view of their opinions," he added.
Charles Thomas Hall, an Orangeman from Connecticut in the United States, was the first visitor to the new museum.
Visitors will be able to learn about Orange symbols and regalia, play instruments, and listen to different types of band music.
A collarette belonging to former Manchester United and Northern Ireland footballer George Best when he was in the junior Royal Black Institution is on display.
A roll of honour of famous members of the Orange details the history of people, like Dr Thomas Barnardo, whose philanthropic work led to the foundation of children's charity Barnardos.
Dr Hume said the museum aims to promote reconciliation through education, and there was a desire to "challenge people in terms of their perceptions of Orangeism".
"We want anybody who wants to come in here," he said.
"We have a very strong engagement with the maintained school sector, we definitely want children from that sector to be here and to learn about our traditions.
"We also want pupils from the state sector to be here because we feel there's a deficit there in terms of their understanding and knowledge." | The Orange Order has opened the doors of its new history museum in east Belfast that it hopes will be "transformational in Northern Ireland". | 33223167 |
The service at Taylor High School on Friday 30 September was attended by the Bishop of Motherwell, Joseph Toal.
Some pupils did not take part and left the school. North Lanarkshire Council said the detentions were for truanting.
In June, a United Nations committee called for laws requiring compulsory attendance at school religious services to be scrapped.
About 50 senior pupils at Taylor High School, in New Stevenston, were disciplined after they turned up for school in the morning but were absent for the annual Patron's Day Mass in the afternoon.
The Mass was a memorial service for two teachers who had died earlier in the year and also celebrated Saint Teresa.
It is understood a letter was sent to the parents of pupils about a week before the service on 30 September indicating that all pupils were expected to attend and no concerns were raised with the school prior to the event.
Nicola Daley, acting head teacher at the Roman Catholic school, said: "Our entire school held its annual Patron's Day Mass on Friday September 30, with Bishop Joseph Toal as its principal celebrant.
"The theme for the celebration was Saint Teresa of Calcutta (formerly Mother Teresa) and highlighted her work with the poor.
"It was also a memorial service for two members of our staff who died in May 2016 after giving years of service to the school.
"Their invaluable contribution to the school community was highlighted during the service.
"Regrettably, a small number of pupils, who had attended school in the morning, opted to truant in the afternoon and miss the service.

The hoard, which is valued at £3.2m, was found in a farmer's field near Burntwood, Staffordshire in July 2009.
With 4,000 objects, it is the largest cache of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever discovered.
The Institute for Conservation has shortlisted Birmingham Museum's work for the Keck prize.
The institute, a charity that promotes the preservation of historical and artistic works, gives out the award every two years.
It is meant to be given to "the individual or group who has contributed most towards promoting public understanding and appreciation of the accomplishments of the conservation profession".
The hoard is displayed across four sites, at the Potteries Museum, Lichfield Cathedral, Tamworth Castle and Birmingham Museum.
The artefacts have been dated to the 7th and 8th Centuries.

Compton had taken an indefinite break from cricket following the Test series against Sri Lanka, but he and Middlesex struggled as they were reduced to 45-2.
Nick Gubbins made 82 before he was bowled by Zafar Ansari (2-61) as Middlesex ended the day on 249-5.
Earlier, Ben Foakes finished 63 not out as Surrey finished on 415 all out.

A rescue operation got under way to save the men after Dover coastguard received an alert at about 09:30 BST to the three-metre white dinghy off Hastings.
Lifeboat crews said the alert came after the dinghy started to leak.
The Hastings lifeboat and Kent-based coastguard helicopter were sent, but a Border Force cutter picked the men up.
A Home Office spokeswoman said the coastguard contacted the Border Force with a report that three individuals in a small boat required assistance.
She said: "HMC Seeker was deployed immediately and has picked up the individuals onboard who are believed to be Iranian nationals. The group will now be processed."

Emirates did not specify the species of snake, nor whether it was potentially dangerous.
Comparisons with the 2006 Samuel L Jackson thriller Snakes on a Plane, which sees passengers battle hundreds of highly poisonous snakes in mid-flight, inevitably emerged on social media.
But it's far from the first time a snake has tried to travel free of charge on planes from warm climates.
In November last year, passengers on a Mexico domestic flight were panicked by the appearance of a metre-long snake which dropped from the overhead compartments.
A 10ft (3m) scrub python was spotted clinging on to the wing as a plane made its way between the Australian town of Cairns and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea in 2013.
And in 2012, animal protection officers had to rescue a young Middle American smooth-scaled racer which arrived in Scotland on a flight from Mexico. | An Emirates flight from Oman to Dubai was cancelled after staff found a snake on the plane. | 38554253 |
Joint Warrior is held twice a year - in April and October - and includes several locations in Scotland and in the sea off its coast.
The US Navy said the UK-led training this April would be on the largest scale in the history of the exercise.
Fifteen countries are taking part in the training that starts on Saturday.
The exercise, which runs until 24 April, will feature anti-submarine warfare and mock attacks on warships by small boats.
More than 50 ships and 70 aircraft, some being based at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray and Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire, along with 13,000 personnel will be involved.
Several of the surface ships and submarines have been arriving at Faslane on the Clyde.
Earlier this month, the Royal Navy said jamming will be limited to a confined area in the north-west of Scotland.
It said the relevant authorities, including aviation and maritime communities, had been consulted.
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland was this week alerting walkers and climbers to the potential disruption to GPS devices they might use in addition to a map and compass.
Jamming during Joint Warrior in October 2011 was suspended after complaints from Western Isles fishermen.
The latest war games come just weeks after a fisherman claimed a submarine may have snagged itself on his trawler as it fished off the Western Isles, an area were elements of Joint Warrior's training are held.
Angus Macleod said he and his four crew were "extremely lucky" after his net was continually dragged in front of his 62ft boat.
The Royal Navy said there were no British or Nato submarines in the area at the time.
There has been speculation in recent months that Russian submarines have been operating off the Scottish coast. | Nato warships, aircraft and personnel have arrived in Scotland for what has been described as the biggest ever Exercise Joint Warrior. | 32252012 |
The 20-year-old was attacked in a wooded area in Uddingston as she walked home from the town's train station at about 22:15 on Tuesday 24 March.
The man police want to trace is white, aged 30-50, and about 5ft 9in. He was wearing dark clothes, including a hood.
He was also described as having red hair and red facial hair.
The attack took place near Castle Gate in the town.

Initial plans for the old Victoria Road School in Torry - which shut its doors in 2008 - were dropped in June.
Planning officials had recommended they be refused. More than 260 objections were lodged on the grounds of what was said would be the loss of granite heritage.
Developer Barratt Homes has now revised its plans.
The flats and three-bedroom homes would include granite into certain aspects of the properties. | A public hearing into fresh plans to demolish a former Aberdeen school and build more than 50 homes is being held. | 38156062 |
The 31-year-old thanked his donor's family and the medics that gave him a new face in March at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona.
A shooting accident meant his entire facial skin and muscles - including nose and lips - needed replacing.
Doctors say he can expect to regain up to 90% of his facial functions.
He had been left unable to breathe, swallow, or talk properly after an accident five years ago.
Now the man, identified only as Oscar, still struggles to speak with clarity and will need months of physical therapy.
He told the news conference: "Friends, I want to thank the hospital coordinators, the entire medical team, the family of the donor and most of all my family who are supporting me these days."
Fergus's Medical Files
Oscar was considered for a full face transplant after nine previous operations failed.
A team of 30 experts carried out the 24-hour long operation on 20 March at the hospital in Barcelona.
Led by Dr JP Barret, the team transplanted muscles, nose, lips, maxilla, palate, all teeth, cheekbones, and the mandible by means of plastic surgery and micro-neurovascular reconstructive surgery techniques.
It was the first full face transplant performed worldwide, as the 10 operations performed previously had been only partial.

The Cavan woman ended the tournament on two under while fellow Irish competitor Stephanie Meadow was two over.
Meadow, from Jordanstown, fired a 72 and she finished in joint 31st.
South Korea's Inbee Park won the gold medal on 16 under, five clear of world number one Lydia Ko of New Zealand while China's Shanshan Feng won bronze.
Great Britain's Charley Hull shot a 68 to finish tied for seventh on eight under as women's golf returned to the Games for the first time since 1900.
Maguire finished top amateur at the recent British Open when she shared 25th place.
Meadow, 24, came third in the US Women's Open in her first season as a professional in 2014 but has struggled over the last 18 months.
The death of her father from cancer last year was a devastating blow for the Ulsterwoman and she has dropped to 473rd in the world rankings.

Ward 14 is the latest to be shut to admissions and transfers and is subject to visitor restrictions.
General medical wards nine and 10 were shut for much of last week. Ward 10 remains closed, but ward nine was expected to partially reopen at 17:00 on Monday after a deep clean.
Ward 12 was shut on Thursday but reopened on Friday.
Duty manager Graham Gault said 43 patients currently have the bug. They have experienced symptoms of sickness and diarrhoea.
Eleven members of staff have reported experiencing similar symptoms.
Mr Gault said the norovirus has a 72-hour incubation period so people could be unaware they are carrying the infection.
He urged visitors to stay away from wards 10 and 14, which have been affected by the bug.
"However if people are deeply concerned the key message is phone the ward and ask for the charge nurse," he added.
Elaine Ross, infection control manager, said: "This is an unpleasant virus which is circulating in the community and is spread easier wherever people are together.
"In this outbreak, vomiting is more of a feature and this makes it much more easy to transmit, which is why we are seeing higher numbers affected in hospital.
"We regret having to take such measures as restricting visiting, particularly over a holiday period, but thank the public and our staff for their continued support and patience as we endeavour to minimise the impact of this horrible bug." | A fourth ward has closed at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary in a major outbreak of norovirus. | 32194365 |
"We were two hours from getting Benitez and then Real Madrid came in. We had agreed a contract," Sullivan said.
"He is a top manager whatever anybody says, and I think he'd have done a wonderful job for us."
Sullivan also said West Ham approached Jurgen Klopp, who joined Liverpool instead to replace Brendan Rodgers.
"We tried Klopp as well but he wouldn't come because he said he wanted a break. But I'm glad with the manager we have got," added Sullivan.
West Ham are 10th in the Premier League and have lost only four league matches since former Croatia boss Bilic took over.
Sullivan also heaped praise on injured midfielder Dimitri Payet - calling him "the best player I've signed in 25 years" - and said the Hammers will make Manuel Lanzini's season-long loan from Al Jazira Club a permanent deal "by February or March", two months earlier than planned. | West Ham were "two hours" away from appointing Rafael Benitez as manager in the summer before hiring Slaven Bilic, Hammers co-owner David Sullivan says. | 35189472 |
Yum's Chinese same-store sales fell by more than expected in the second quarter, by 10% despite efforts to regain ground in its biggest market after a meat safety scandal last year.
Globally, revenue fell 3% to $3.1bn in the three months to 13 June.
The firm said its main initiative right now was to get back on track in China.
"The China division remains on track to open at least 700 new restaurants this year, laying the groundwork for future growth," said chief executive Greg Creed in a statement on Tuesday.
The group's KFC restaurants suffered in July last year after a television news story linked the brand to supplier Shanghai Husi Food, which was accused of selling old meat.
KFC, along with fast food giant McDonald's, stopped using meat from the supplier after its operations were suspended in July.
Adding to its China woes, customers in its home market - the US - are also shifting their eating habits to food seen to be healthier, served by competitors like Shake Shack and Chipotle Mexican Grill.
The retailer's net income declined 30% to $235m (£150m) in the same period.
The company has been trying to win back customers with moves such as removing artificial colours and flavours from food at Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, it announced in May.
Its shares fell 1% in after-hours trading in New York after the earnings results came out.
Correction: This story has been amended to make clear that the Shanghai Husi scandal involved allegations of supplying out-of-date, rather than tainted, meat. | Sales of US fast food giant Yum Brands, which owns Pizza Hut and KFC, fell for a fourth consecutive quarter as its Chinese business continued to slump. | 33532449 |

The first German side to win a European title (the 1966 European Cup Winners' Cup) and champions of Europe in 1997. Three-time German cup winners.
Yet Borussia Dortmund say they are enjoying their "best season ever" - despite lying second in the Bundesliga, behind Bayern Munich.
After 27 of their 34 league games this season, 20 wins, four draws and just three losses mean they have 64 points.
It is the most, they say, at this stage of a season in the club's 106-year history.
Dortmund won the league in 2010-11 and again the following year, when they set a Bundesliga record of 81 points. After 27 games of that season, they had 62 points - two fewer than they have this year.
Bayern broke that record the following season, winning the title with 91 points as Dortmund slipped to second, also their finishing position in 2013-14.
Now - 10 months on from an uncharacteristic seventh-place finish under Jurgen Klopp - they are five points behind Bayern, but 16 ahead of third-placed Hertha Berlin.
And Dortmund know they, and Bayern, are well ahead of the rest.
"You would have won the championship with this points tally 15 years ago," the club add. | They are eight-time league champions and one of the most successful clubs in German football history. | 35879592 |
Rennes defender Dimitri Cavare and Watford defender Juan Paredes were both loan targets for the Championship club.
Coyle, 50, also confirmed they tried to sign Lens defender Abdoul Ba, as well as Vancouver Whitecaps' Giles Barnes.
Rovers football director Paul Senior had said funds were available to spend in the transfer window.
Forwards Marvin Emnes and Lucas Joao were the only players to come into Ewood Park in January, with Blackburn battling relegation.
A proposed loan move for Celtic defender Efe Ambrose is waiting on a decision over whether his work permit can be transferred from Scotland to England and he can be registered, but he has been training with the club until a decision is confirmed.
Argentine midfielder Mugni, 25, and former Birmingham City defender Caddis, 28, are both free agents.
On his trialists, Coyle told BBC Radio Lancashire: "The decision with Paul is whether he can have an immediate impact in helping us.

The Bairns say they have received a club record fee for the 18-year-old, reportedly worth up to £1m.
McGrandles played 66 games in the Scottish Championship and has signed a three-year deal with the Canaries, with the option of a further 12 months.
"It feels brilliant to be here, a dream come true really. I never expected it to happen so quick," he said.
City's first-team coach Gary Holt is a former boss at Falkirk and managed McGrandles for 14 months.
"He was a big factor in me coming here. He told me all about the place and sold it really well," he said.
Norwich boss Neil Adams added: "He's a dynamic, combative player who can be used anywhere across the midfield, and he's already played plenty of games so he has the ability to compete at senior level." | Norwich City have signed Falkirk midfielder Conor McGrandles for an undisclosed fee. | 28966896 |
The whales in Farewell Spit, Golden Bay, are being kept cool by conservation staff.
Officials are hoping that the whales will be able to refloat themselves when the tide rises in the evening.
Seven whales died in the same area earlier this month when 25 of them were stranded.
"We generally get one stranding a summer and we occasionally get two, but since I've been here in the past 10 years, we've never had three," regional conservation area manager John Mason was quoted by the New Zealand Herald as saying.
The whales were spotted by an aircraft pilot while flying over Farewell Spit, he added.
In November, 47 whales also died in the same area when a pod of 65 got stranded.
Pilot whales - which are mammals and belong to the dolphin family - can grow up to 20 feet and weigh up to three tons.
Scientists do not know what causes mass beaching of whales.
They are most common in New Zealand in the summer, when whales pass by on their migration to and from Antarctic waters. | A group of 90 pilot whales have beached on a spit at the northern tip of New Zealand's South Island - the second incident in the area this month. | 16675613 |

The Independent Monitoring Board, which ensures fairness and decency for all prisoners, is aiming to increase its membership from eight to 15 for the city centre jail.
Duties include checking on inmates in solitary confinement and ensuring cells are adequate.
Training will be given to new members.
Steve Cocks, chairman of Cardiff IMB, said: "We're desperately trying to get a better range of people on the board.
"We're all basically white British so it would be nice to get ethnic minority representation and also younger people."
He said the role was "challenging but rewarding" - as official representatives of the justice minister, volunteers have "complete access to the prison".
"Our role is to look into all aspects of prison life and bring any concerns to the attention of those responsible," he added.

Seven candidates are competing to represent the Republican Party.
The forerunners include ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy and ex-Prime Ministers Alain Juppe and Francois Fillon.
The winner of the conservative primary seems assured to make the presidential run-off, where he or she is likely to face far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
Polls suggest that the Republican candidate would win that election. With the governing socialists unpopular and divided, it seems unlikely that any left-wing candidate will survive the first round,
The centre-right primary will be held in two rounds. The top two candidates in Sunday's vote will face each other in a second ballot a week later.

Figures showed incidents of clocking - when a car's mileage dashboard display is decreased - rose by 10% between March and October last year.
The LGA also wants mileage correction devices to be banned.
An existing legal loophole means it is not illegal to alter a car's mileage.
It is fraudulent to knowingly sell a clocked car without disclosing that its odometer has been adjusted.
Adjusting the mileage can artificially increase car prices as well as hide serious mechanical problems on vehicles, the LGA warned.
Four members of a Birmingham family were jailed a year ago for "clocking" four million miles off vehicle odometers in what was described in court as "a professional operation".
Simon Blackburn, chairman of the LGA's Safer and Stronger Communities Board, said: "With up to 1.7 million clocked and potentially dangerous vehicles on UK roads, anyone buying a second-hand car should make as many checks as they can to ensure that the vehicle is showing its true mileage.
"Clocking is harming both reputable used car dealers and consumers, and unless the proposed EU ban on mileage correction services is brought forward and made part of UK law, thousands more cars will continue to be clocked over the next two years, jeopardising the safety of cars on UK roads."
Motorists can check the mileage history of some vehicles recorded at each MOT with the Department of Transport. | A proposed EU ban on companies who provide mileage "correction" for cars should be retained by the UK and brought forward, the Local Government Association says. | 36811169 |
Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council's grammatical error appeared on an advert for a performance of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations in July..
The council chose to reprint its promotional material at a cost, the BBC understands, of about £1,200.
A spokesperson said it was the right thing to do as the event was a celebration of a "literary giant".
"To promote our outdoor theatre production of 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens, we produced a variety of advertising and publicity materials to maximise public awareness of this exciting free event," they continued.
"Unfortunately, due simply to human error, a misplaced apostrophe was not picked up."
Some £140 was spent on correcting 48 sheets, £95 on delivering additional leaflets, £295 on reprinting advertising boards, £332 on flyers and posters and £290 on a window vinyl.
Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council is by no means alone in falling into the rogue apostrophe trap.

The Royal Lyceum's version of the Beckett drama featured Scottish actors Brian Cox and Bill Paterson.
It took the Best Production award while the cast, also including John Bett and Benny Young, scooped the Best Ensemble Award.
Glasgow's Citizens' Theatre picked up six awards split between two shows.
Speaking about Waiting for Godot, Cats co-convener Mark Fisher said: "Mark Thomson's lucid, precisely choreographed production got under the skin of a modern classic, ensuring it was not just a star vehicle for two very well-known actors, but a full-blooded ensemble performance.
"It was one of the triumphs of the Royal Lyceum's 50th anniversary season and of the whole Scottish theatre calendar."
At the Citizen's theatre, This Restless House - a reworking of the ancient Greek trilogy The Oresteia - won Zinnie Harris Best New Play, Dominic Hill Best Director and Pauline Knowles Best Female Performance.

The awards were announced at a ceremony at the winning theatre on Sunday, hosted by actress Daniela Nardini and Still Game star Sanjeev Kohli.
Muriel Romanes, who recently stepped down as long-term artistic director of Scottish theatre company Stellar Quines, was awarded the 2016 Cats Whiskers for her vision and determination in Scottish theatre-making.

Richard Simpson also wanted licensed shops in problem areas to mark cans and bottles so they could be traced.
He told MSPs there was a problem with "proxy" purchasing for teenagers.
However, ministers argued that the issue could be better dealt with through the government's alcohol misuse strategy.
When the members bill was scrutinised at committee stage, BMA Scotland expressed concerns about some aspects of it but it supported the section aimed at banning alcohol advertising around schools.

Witnesses said the attackers targeted a hotel in the town before escaping the scene.
Five wounded people were taken to hospital, according to the Kenyan Red Cross.
Kenya has suffered a series of attacks since its troops moved into southern Somalia to combat Islamist al-Shabab militants in 2011.
Police confirmed that an operation was under way to identify the assailants.
The town has seen several such attacks in recent months. In January, another shooting in Garissa killed five people and wounded another four.
In October, gunmen shot dead a police officer and wounded another in Garissa. In November, three Kenyan soldiers and two police were shot dead there.

Health Minister Mark Drakeford has urged families to discuss their views on donation, 100 days before Wales adopts a system of presumed consent.
Bethan Lewis of Cardiff-based Brighter Comms welcomed hard-hitting TV adverts as necessary to make people think.
"You're relying on the public to take action at a time when the message may not seem relevant to them," she said.
As well as TV advertising, a roadshow has been touring supermarkets across Wales to raise awareness of the new system, which comes into effect on 1 December.
Known as a "soft opt-out" system, people are invited to register their wish to donate their organs or not, with the assumption that they consent to donation if they do not register a view.
The Welsh government said 39,500 people in Wales have registered their wish to opt out of organ donation from December, while 1,062,000 people were currently registered as donors.
Ms Lewis told the Sunday Supplement programme on BBC Radio Wales: "Research shows that we have to see an advert seven times before it sinks in.
"So it's clear that the advertising campaign needs to continue in the run-up to the change, across as many channels as possible."
Mike Stephens, a consultant transplant surgeon at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, said: "We want to encourage families to have this conversation before they die so that families can be sure of the wishes of their relatives."
He added that families would still be consulted about donation following a death, but said use of the register would make "a sensitive issue easier to discuss". | Raising awareness of organ donation rule changes is a "huge challenge", a public relations expert has said. | 34019713 |
In the wake of the deadly Paris attacks, he said it is understandable that Americans fear something similar happening in the US.
"We know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland," he said.
He said the US is doing everything it can to keep Americans safe.
There have been more than 8,000 airstrikes on strongholds of the so-called Islamic State, he said, and work is continuing to stop the terrorist group's financing and supply lines.
Mr Obama and French President Francois Hollande agreed on Tuesday to step up co-ordination on airstrikes.
"I want the American people to know entering the holidays that the combined resources of our military, our intelligence and our homeland security agencies are on the case. They are vigilant, relentless and effective," said Mr Obama.
He said that in the event of a threat, the American public would be informed.
IS had released videos threatening attacks on the US in New York City and Washington following the Paris attacks that left 130 people dead and scores injured.
