Leicester City were crowned Premier League champions on 2 May without kicking a ball after Tottenham failed to beat Chelsea. They will be joined in the Champions League group stage by runners-up Arsenal and third-placed Tottenham. Meanwhile, Manchester City finished fourth, meaning they will be in the Champions League play-off round. The Europa League place City earned from winning the Capital One Cup transfers to the league.
FA Cup winners Manchester United, who finished fifth, will enter the Europa League group stages along with sixth-placed Southampton, while seventh-placed West Ham United enter at the third qualifying round, courtesy of United's FA Cup win.
There are no longer any Fair Play places allocated to the Europa League.

A Northern Ireland man who witnessed a truck crashing into a crowd in Nice, killing at least 84 people, has described the "panic" at the scene.

Paddy Mullan, from Londonderry, is in the French city on holiday with his girlfriend.
They were on the Promenade des Anglais when they saw the truck approaching.
"This lorry just mounted the kerb across the street from us, and the next thing all you could hear was banging and shouting and screaming," he said.
He said he had "never seen" such fear.
"There was a lot of panic at one stage because we were right in the mix when all this was happening," Mr Mullan told BBC Radio Foyle.
"There was a lot of confusion, misdirection, because we didn't know what exactly was happening, why it was happening."
The attack coincided with Bastille Day, a national holiday in France, and thousands of people had gathered on the streets to watch a fireworks display.
The couple had been in a nearby restaurant on the last night of their holiday, before going out onto the promenade to watch the fireworks.
As they walked back towards the restaurant, Mr Mullan said the truck "came out of nowhere" and started "ploughing" into the crowd.
"There were people running up, screaming and coming into the restaurant trying to get away, so we didn't know what it was.
"We didn't know if it was people on the ground shooting or if there was a bomb, or what was going on - we were just trying to get away."
Mr Mullan and his girlfriend then "bailed out" of the restaurant through a side exit and went through barriers into an apartment complex behind the building.
"We were pushing all the buzzers to try and get into the apartment blocks," he said. "Eventually we got in."
He said there were many others in the same building and lots of confusion but, after a while, a woman who spoke English explained to the couple what had happened.
"We were just desperately trying to get back to our apartment," he said.
"I've never seen fear like it in all my life and probably never will again."
Northern Ireland woman Laura McGarrity was at the beach when the attack happened.
"It was absolutely terrifying," she said.
"Hundreds of people were trying to scurry off the beach and run home not really knowing what had occurred."
But she said the attacks will not stop her from staying in the French city for the rest of her holiday.
Paul Sheridan, the principal of Model Primary School in Derry, watched the Bastille Day fireworks from further along the coast on Thursday night.
He visits Nice on holiday every summer and said the mood on Friday in the wake of the attack was one of "shock and sadness".
"Nice has always been synonymous with sunshine and sound, full of people and buskers on the promenade," he said.
"But today it was very noticeable how few people there were - it was silent.
"At one of the shopping centres there were security guards at the door checking bags - it felt like years ago in Belfast."


It's early on a Sunday morning but "students" in Singapore are buckling down to solve mathematical problems as they prepare for primary school exams.

"There is a total of 5,421 cows and goats on the farm. If three quarters of the cows and 60% of the goats are sold, there will be an equal number of cows and goats left," the teacher says.
"How many cows and how many goats are there on the farm?"
A dozen pupils diligently work on the problem. But these are not children cramming. They're adults.
Many parents in Singapore find it difficult to keep up as their children are inundated with homework and exams in a highly demanding and competitive state-school system.
To help their children, some parents go back to school themselves, attending workshops offered by schools and private tuition centres.
Teachers say these sessions are not for parents who are bad at mathematics or English.
More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch
"It's all about understanding what students do at school and how to solve complicated problems using the latest methods," said Nur Hidayah Ismail, the principal at Genius Young Minds tutorial centre.
"As a previous school teacher in a state school, parents kept asking me for help to coach them. I saw there was an urgency because they don't know how to coach their child at home," she added.
"When I resigned I thought I needed to help as parents were out of touch with the syllabus."
The private tutorial centre - one of many in Singapore - is not just for parents. Their children also come here for tuition.
Parents get four full-day workshops for the equivalent of $500 (Â£318), which also includes four boot camps for their children in mathematics.
The adults are split into groups according to ability and knowledge of maths. Some start right back at the beginning because the style of teaching has changed dramatically over the years.
On a small island with a vibrant economy and a population of just over 5.5 million people, education is seen as vital to success.
Singapore ranked first in the world for maths and science in the latest OECD tests. That academic excellence is a great source of pride - and also anxiety.
Many parents feel they need to invest in tuition to give their children a head start.
A government survey shows that families here now spend $1.1bn Singapore dollars ($827m; Â£526m) a year on tuition. That's nearly double the amount from a decade ago.
Many parents flock to state schools for the refresher courses. But the private tuition centres -  even those with high fees - are popular because they offer frequent sessions catered to the varying abilities of the parents.
With so much on the line academically, parents in Singapore can be very competitive and set exceedingly high goals for their children.
But Anita Saleh, who signed up for the classes for parents, credits the course for helping her to be more realistic. The work was much harder than she initially thought and gave her an appreciation of the pressure her daughter faces in preparing for the demanding Primary School Leaving Exams (PSLEs) at the age of 11.
"It's beyond my expectation," Ms Saleh said. "It's totally difficult because I myself didn't go beyond O- level so many years back and then my daughter is sitting for only her PSLEs (Primary 6 level) and I am not able to answer the questions."
Her daughter, Adawiyah Shamsudin, said she gets so much work that it can be stressful and difficult to handle. Before her parents went on the course, she said, they always questioned her about her grades.
"But now they understand that pupils are having difficulties improving their studies, especially when they already get low grades," Adawiyah said.
Whatever one might say about the workload and expectations in Singapore, Adawiyah and other young students are feeling the positive effects of the workshops for parents.
"Since they went there I can see improvement. Before that I always approached my siblings, but now they are improving and trying their best to help my studies and also my homework," she said.
Back in the classroom on a Sunday morning, many of the parents are weary after a long day of questions and equations.
They have been put to the test. But they hope the time and money will be worth it, if it can give them more confidence to help their children with homework and exams.
So what about that farm with the cows and the goats?
The solution: There are 3,336 cows and 2,085 goats.


A cannabis plant, barbecue, police force flag and emergency vehicles are among items to have been stolen from police in the West Midlands region.

The BBC asked forces which items had been stolen between 2011/12 to 2015/16.
The cannabis plant was stolen from Staffordshire Police, which also reported the theft of some cigars.
A first aid kit, CS spray, a flag, handcuffs and "clothing (not underwear)" were among items stolen from Warwickshire Police.
Thefts from West Mercia Police included the barbecue and garden gates.
Emergency vehicles, dustbins and horses were also among items stolen from the force.
The horses were not police horses, but ones that had been rounded up when found to be loose on a Shropshire road. They had been held by a third party on behalf of police when they were stolen, the force said.
Money believed to be about Â£113,000 was stolen from former Warwickshire Police headquarters between June 2009 and September 2011, the force said.
Ex-police officer Paul Andrew Greaves, 57, from Belvoir Lodge, Carlton, Nottinghamshire, was found not guilty of theft at Birmingham Crown Court in July this year. The case "remains open," police said.
The money had originally been seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act in 2009, the force said.
The information was revealed following a request under the Freedom of Information Act.


The number of people diagnosed in the UK with coeliac disease has increased fourfold between 1990 and 2011, a study suggests.

The autoimmune disease, triggered by a reaction to gluten - found in wheat, barley and rye - can cause severe symptoms.
It is treated by following a lifelong gluten-free diet.
Experts say they believe the increase is due to better diagnosis, rather than more people developing the condition.
Left untreated, coeliac disease can lead to infertility, osteoporosis and bowel cancer.
The University of Nottingham research, published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology and funded by the patient groups Coeliac UK and CORE, looked at the GP data from 1990 to 2011 to see how many cases had been diagnosed.
It found the rate increased from 5.2 per 100,000 in 1990 to 19.1 per 100,000 in 2011.
Previous studies have suggested around 1% of the population would test positive for the condition - but the data from this study suggests only 0.25% are diagnosed.
Coeliac UK say this means many are unaware they have the condition.
Sarah Sleet, the charity's chief executive, said: "Of course, increasing numbers with a diagnosis is good news and will inevitably mean there will be an increased demand for gluten-free products in supermarkets.
"But the three-quarters undiagnosed is around 500,000 people - a shocking statistic that needs urgent action."
Diagnosis rates vary by area, with a higher incidence in more affluent places.
The researchers suggest this is probably down to differences in diagnostic rates and not down to more people actually having the condition in particular areas.
Joe West at the University of Nottingham led the study. He said: "The study shows something has obviously changed in the last two decades and what I think is more likely is that we've got better at diagnosing coeliac disease.
"We now have better, and more available, tests."
Dr Anthon Emmanuel, consultant gastroenterologist at UCL, said: "This [increase] is a diagnostic phenomenon, not an incidence phenomenon. It is exactly what we had anticipated."
He said testing for the disease had got much easier in recent years, and was now a simple blood test rather than the "palaver" of the more intrusive test used previously.
Sarah Sleet added: "We were hoping diagnosis rates had gone up, as they were appallingly low.
"There has been increased public awareness in the past 20 years, and we have been working with professionals to develop frontline testing which is easier to use and cheap."


A 16-year-old boy held on suspicion of attempted murder over the "ramming" of a 17-year-old biker with a 4x4 has been released on police bail.

A Merseyside Police spokesman said the teenager, from Prenton, Wirral, was bailed conditionally on Monday evening pending further inquiries.
The biker was knocked off his scrambler in an alleged hit-and-run crash in Walton, Liverpool, on Friday.
He is critically ill in Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool.
Police said they believe he was chased and "deliberately rammed" by the 4x4.

The vehicle was then driven off down Dyson Street.


The CIA carried out "brutal" interrogations of al-Qaeda suspects in the years after the 9/11 attacks on the US, a US Senate report has said.

The summary of the report, compiled by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the CIA had misled Americans about what it was doing.
The information the CIA collected this way failed to secure information that foiled any threats, the report said.
In a statement, the CIA insisted the interrogations had helped save lives.
"The intelligence gained from the programme was critical to our understanding of al-Qaeda and continues to inform our counterterrorism efforts to this day," director John Brennan said.
However, the CIA also acknowledged mistakes in the programme, especially early on when it was unprepared for the scale of the operation to detain and interrogate prisoners.
The CIA programme - known internally as Rendition, Detention and Interrogation - took place from 2002-07, during the presidency of George W Bush.
The report reveals that:
CIA report: The 20 key findings
Analysis: Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent
This report makes deeply uncomfortable reading but it shines a much-needed torch into some dark places.
The fact that Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, or torture by any other name, was stopped years ago or that some people at the top of the US administration may not have known its full extent, does not excuse the fact it took place at all.
After going through six million pages of documents, the authors concluded that in none of the cases they had looked at did these brutal methods stop a terrorist attack. Meaning that America's reputation, and by extension that of the wider West, has been sullied for no tangible gain.
This will lay the US open to charges of hypocrisy, making it far harder for the West to criticise brutal and dictatorial regimes. It may also encourage terrorists to justify their atrocities by pointing to this past abuse.
It can only be hoped this report's publication means these practices will be consigned to history's dustbin.
Introducing the report to the Senate, Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein described the CIA's actions as a "stain on US history".
"The release of this 500-page summary cannot remove that stain, but it can and does say to our people and the world that America is big enough to admit when it's wrong and confident enough to learn from its mistakes," she said.
"Under any common meaning of the term, CIA detainees were tortured," she added.
Earlier, President Barack Obama said the methods used were inconsistent with US values.
"These techniques did significant damage to America's standing in the world and made it harder to pursue our interests with allies and partners," he said.
Reacting to the release of the report summary, the Senate Republican leaders insisted that the methods used had helped in the capture of important suspects and the killing of Osama bin Laden.
"Claims included in this report that assert the contrary are simply wrong," Senators Mitch McConnell and Saxby Chambliss said in a joint statement.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the issue had been "dealt with from a British perspective" but that torture was wrong.
"After 9/11 there were things that happened that were wrong - and we should be clear about the fact they were wrong," he said.
The Senate committee's report runs to more than 6,000 pages, drawing on huge quantities of evidence, but it remains classified and only a 525-page summary has been released.
Described by US officials as al-Qaeda's former operational planner and terrorist recruiter, Abu Zubaydah was captured in Pakistan and sent to a secret facility in Thailand.
His cell was described as white with no natural light or windows, but with four lights pointing into the cell and an air conditioner.
He had two chairs, one more comfortable than the other, rotated based on his level of co-operation.
From 4-23 August 2002, following 47 days of complete isolation, Abu Zubaydah was subjected to EIT almost 24 hours a day.
Security personnel entered his cell, shackled and hooded him and removed his towel so that he was naked.
"Abu Zubaydah was typically kept naked and sleep-deprived," the report says.
He was backed up against the wall and a box laid on the floor to look like a coffin.
Whenever the suspect denied having certain information, the interrogators grabbed or slapped his face.
On the first evening, he was waterboarded, as a result of which he coughed, vomited and had spasms.
The sessions accelerated, progressing more quickly to waterboarding.
According to the report, the objective was "to ensure [he] is at his most vulnerable state", at all times.
Is 'waterboarding' torture?
Who were the detainees?
The main points of the report include the following:
Mr Obama halted the CIA interrogation programme when he took office in 2009.
Earlier this year, he said that in his view the methods used to question al-Qaeda prisoners amounted to torture.
Publication of the report had been delayed amid disagreements in Washington over what should be made public.
Security was increased at US facilities around the world ahead of publication.
Embassies and other sites were taking precautions amid "some indications" of "greater risk", a White House spokesman said.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said he had ordered all top US military commanders to be on high alert.
US intelligence agencies were accused of using "extraordinary rendition" to send terror suspects for questioning in countries where they had no legal protection or rights under American law. Some of the suspects claimed they had been tortured in countries such as Syria and Egypt.
A Council of Europe report in 2006 said it had pieced together details of a "spider's web of secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers", based on evidence from detainees' testimonies, flight plans and other publicly-available information.
The Senate report released on Tuesday said that the CIA had sent some of its al-Qaeda suspects to detention centres in other countries, but did not say which ones.


Home Secretary Theresa May has announced a new police inquiry into allegations of child abuse in north Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.

Mrs May said the head of the National Crime Agency would lead the inquiry.
Separately, Mrs Justice Macur will investigate the terms of the Waterhouse abuse inquiry, which began in 1996.
Meanwhile, the Conservative party has confirmed it is investigating reports linking one of Margaret Thatcher's former close aides to the allegations.
The alleged abuse centring on children's homes in north Wales - and specifically the Bryn Estyn home at Wrexham - began to emerge in the 1990s.
They were highlighted again last week when victim Steve Messham said the Waterhouse inquiry had uncovered only a fraction of the abuse.
"In the home it was the standard abuse which was violent and sexual. Outside it was like you were sold," he told BBC Newsnight last week, and detailed being tied down and raped in a hotel room.
The crime agency head, Keith Bristow, will look at how the historic claims were handled, and at fresh allegations. He will report by April 2013, Mrs May told MPs.
Correction 10 November 2012: The BBC has apologised unreservedly for broadcasting a report on Newsnight on 2 November over allegations of child abuse which transpired to have involved a case of mistaken identity. As a result the video of the original report has been removed from the website. More details can be found here.
The Serious and Organised Crime Agency and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre will also be involved.
On Tuesday evening Channel 4 News broadcast an allegation from an unnamed former resident of Bryn Estyn, that he had seen the late Sir Peter Morrison - a former aide to Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher - visit the care home and drive away with one of the boys living there.
A spokesman for Conservative Central Office later responded by saying: "we will do everything in our power to ensure these serious allegations are investigated fully." Sir Peter, who was MP for Chester from 1974 to 1992, died in 1995.

Since Carwyn Jones declared he had an "open mind" about the need for a new public inquiry into allegations of abuse in north Wales, two inquiries have been set in motion by the UK government. So where does the Welsh government stand now?
It's clear there's next to no appetite for a number of disparate inquiries, some commissioned in Cardiff, others in London. There are some no-go areas for the Welsh government. Policing isn't devolved, so overseeing a probe into North Wales Police's involvement must remain UK government territory.
The original Waterhouse inquiry was a UK government commission, pre-dating devolution. The first minister's view is that revisiting how well it did its job should also remain in Westminster hands.
But when it comes to the job of considering any new allegations, new evidence "to get to what we all want - namely, the truth" - Mr Jones wants a "joint approach" and says co-operation is the way forward.
North Wales Police Chief Constable Mark Polin said: "Victims and members of the public can be assured that any new identified lines of enquiry will be pursued as rigorously and as swiftly as possible."
But shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper expressed concern about the number of different investigations into child abuse allegations, saying that they would not be able to draw their findings together.
And Tim Loughton, Conservative MP and former children's minister, called for the government to hold one inquiry to cover the different investigations and inquiries currently ongoing into child abuse.
"We have just got to have one, overarching, robust inquiry, led by a high-level figure, looking into all these different stories, to put the whole thing into proper context."
In a statement to MPs, Mrs May said: "The government is treating these allegations with the utmost seriousness.
"Child abuse is a hateful, abhorrent and disgusting crime, and we must not allow these allegations to go unanswered, and I therefore urge anybody who has information relating to these allegations to go to the police."
Mr Messham said after a meeting with Welsh Secretary David Jones: "I certainly have confidence that they are taking it seriously... but I haven't got confidence that it's going to be done properly yet. When the inquiry was announced that was a Tory government - we're back to a Tory government. Let's see how it goes."
Mr Jones said that the inquiry "must go wherever it leads", adding that it was "absolutely essential" that abuse victims "should feel that they have had justice".
Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones confirmed that Wales children's commissioner Keith Towler was "actively dealing with a number of people who have contacted him since the weekend".
North Wales Police did investigate the care home abuse claims in 1991. Of eight prosecutions, seven former care workers were convicted. But it was widely believed that the abuse was on a far greater scale, prompting the setting up of a public inquiry in 1996 to look again at the abuse claims.
Headed by Sir Ronald Waterhouse, the inquiry heard evidence from 650 people.
After the report was published in 2000, there were 140 compensation claims settled on behalf of the victims, and numerous recommendations about children in care homes.
However, concerns have now been raised that the remit of the inquiry was too narrow, and that it failed to consider allegations about children being taken out of the homes to be made available to abusers.
Richard Scorer, a solicitor who represented 30 victims at the Waterhouse Inquiry, said the previous inquiry had done a "thorough job" of looking into "what it set out to investigate".
"It could not and did not look into broader paedophile networks. That is not what it was primarily set up to do," he said.
One victim, Martin Watkinson, said what was "finally" needed was "justice for the victims, and prison sentences for the people who were abusing."
The latest abuse inquiries come in the midst of several inquiries into separate allegations of widespread abuse by former BBC presenter Jimmy Savile, relating to hundreds of victims over many decades.
Mrs May told MPs that Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary was looking at all forces that received allegations in relation to Savile. It would examine whether these allegations were investigated properly, and identify wider lessons from the response of the police forces involved.
She also said that: "If, at the end of the processes that we've set in train, it appears that it is necessary to move forward to a wider investigation then we will look at that."

Civilian staff at the Faslane and Coulport naval bases have begun a series of strikes in a dispute with Babcock Marine over workers' rights.

Unite members are taking part in a continuous overtime and on-call ban.
It coincides with a series of staggered periods of strike action, which the union said would have an impact on naval operations until 15 June.
Babcock Marine said it was "disappointed and perplexed by Unite's actions".
Unite said the strikes would affect all areas at the bases, including the nuclear operations department.
The Faslane base on the Clyde is home to the UK's fleet of Trident nuclear submarines.
Unite has accused Babcock of a "systematic campaign to undermine workers", claiming it had withdrawn facilities for shop steward meetings and was "failing to meaningfully consult and negotiate with the trade union".
The union represents a range of workers at the two bases, including cleaners, housekeepers, logistics operatives, drivers and mail staff.
It also has members in radiation monitoring and strategic weapons support roles.
Unite regional officer Stephen Deans accused Babcock of trying to "bypass" the union and undermine workers' rights.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "The agreed consultation and negotiation structures that we have at the base have been ignored by Babcock.
"Our elected representatives have been ignored mostly, or presented with decisions rather than being consulted before decisions are finally made.
"Our representatives have been victimised and harassed by management."
Mr Deans added: "Our members have been forced into this action today. Management at Babcock Marine have engineered a complete breakdown of normal relations with workers.
"Our fear is that they want to try and undermine workers' rights so they can cut jobs and service quality through more outsourcing.
"They want to squeeze as much money as they can out of being involved in the nation's defence. But our members work hard supporting the Royal Navy's operations and will not allow profit to be put before service."
Babcock Marine said it had offered "reasonable solutions" to all of the issues raised by Unite.
A spokesman added: "We absolutely refute the allegations that we are attempting to undermine our relationship with the trade union and wider workforce or that we are engaged in a wide-ranging plan to outsource services.
"Our workforce at HMNB Clyde do a magnificent job in support of the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Navy and it is disappointing that most will get no direct benefit from the issues raised with us.
"We are working closely with our customer and the 1,100 Babcock employees who are not involved in this industrial action to minimise any impact to the smooth running of HMNB Clyde.
"We remain committed to finding a positive resolution to this dispute and hope to have further discussions with Unite facilitated by ACAS in the next few days."


Police have announced a breakthrough in the investigation into a British-born toddler who was kidnapped on an Australian beach 46 years ago.

Three-year-old Cheryl Grimmer was abducted in 1970 and has never been found.
Now, almost 50 years later, detectives believe new information has led them to identify a suspect.
Cheryl's brother appealed for "something so we can mourn" as the new search was launched.
Cheryl Grimmer disappeared on 12 January 1970 in the Illawarra district, New South Wales.
The toddler had been at Fairy Meadow Beach with her mother and three brothers.
The family were living nearby, having recently emigrated from England.
Cheryl was sent to the shower block with her brothers. It was from these changing rooms that detectives believe she was taken.
Detectives recently returned to Fairy Meadow Beach with several key witnesses in a bid to draw further on their memories.
Now in their 50s, those witnesses were aged nine, 10 and 12 at the time.
The latest investigation  is focusing on a male youth seen in the immediate vicinity of the surf club pavilion in the morning and afternoon of the day Cheryl was taken.
At the time, it is thought, he was aged between 16 and 17, and so he would now be in his early 60s.
The young man was described as being white, about 152cm or five feet tall, of medium build, with brown hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion.
The Wollongong local area command crime manager, Det Insp Brad Ainsworth, said Cheryl's disappearance was a mystery the police still desperately wanted to solve.
"Cheryl's kidnapping sparked a massive manhunt and stunned the Illawarra," he said.
"The witnesses' return to the beach has yielded promising results, and we hope someone in the community may be able to help us identify this male youth."
It was not until May 2011 that a coroner concluded Cheryl had died sometime after her disappearance, the cause being unknown.
In 2012 the New South Wales government offered a $100,000 reward for any new information.
Cheryl's parents died without knowing what had happened to their daughter. But speaking to the Illawarra Mercury in 2011, Carole Grimmer said she believed her daughter was still alive.
Cheryl's three brothers - Ricki, Paul and Stephen Grimmer - were at a press conference outside the Fairy Meadow Surf Club on Monday.
Ricki Grimmer was tearful as he stood before reporters.
He said: "It's heartache. Decisions I made on the day were wrong. I shouldn't have left. Everybody says 'It wasn't your fault.' Come and stand where I'm standing; see what it feels like.
"Just let us know where she is, give us something so we can mourn."
Stephen Grimmer, now 52, said: " My mum and dad have passed on now not knowing, and we want to know too before we pass on."
Det Insp Ainsworth added: "We would dearly love to provide answers to Steve and his family, solve this matter for the people of the Illawarra, and ultimately provide Cheryl with some dignity in death."


Edinburgh's art festival has begun its "most ambitious" programme yet, with 45 exhibitions showing in 30 of the city's museums and galleries during August.

Major international artists include Hermann Nitsch, Melvin Moti, Dieter Roth and Rachel Mayeri.
There are new commissions from Susan Philipsz, Andrew Miller, Emily Speed, Kevin Harman and Anthony Schrag.
There are also retrospectives of acclaimed artists such as Ian Hamilton Finlay, Leslie Hunter and John Bellany.
Scots-born sound artist Philipsz, who won the Turner prize in 2010, will bring Timelines to the capital - a multi-site installation, developed in response to one of Edinburgh's famous One O'Clock Gun.
The gun is fired every day, except Sunday, from Edinburgh castle.
Philipsz's voice will call out each day in response to the firing of the gun, creating a domino effect as speakers sound along the timeline from Calton Hill to Edinburgh Castle.
Other new commissions include a pavilion made from salvaged materials and artworks made from rubble in skips.
As well as the commissions, the festival will feature new exhibitions by international artists such as Rachel Mayeri.
The Los Angeles-based artist collaborated with comparative psychologist Dr Sarah-Jane Vick to develop Primate Cinema: Apes as family.
It is a two-screen video installation that presents a drama written for chimpanzees and performed by human actors alongside the reactions of an audience of chimps.
It was researched and partly filmed at Edinburgh Zoo.
Dutch artist Melvin Moti is holding his first UK solo show, at the National Museums of Scotland.
One Thousand Points of Light features a new film focusing on light-reactive minerals and objects the artist has chosen from National Museums of Scotland's collections, ranging from fluorescing fossils to a glowing jellyfish.
There will also be several "summer blockbuster" exhibitions, with one exploring Picasso's lifelong connections with Britain, at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.  Another major exhibition will feature the work of Van Gogh and Kandinsky, at the Scottish National Gallery.
As well as the major artists, there is an exhibition by TV presenter Harry Hill, who will also be performing during the Fringe, entitled My Hobby.
Edinburgh Art Festival was founded in 2004 and will run until 2 September.


Next season's FA Cup and Scottish Cup could feature video assistance for referees after football bosses backed recommendations to introduce trials.

The International Football Association Board, which makes the game's laws, wants experiments to take place and will make a final decision in March.
Football Association chief Martin Glenn said: "I'm happy to be part of that. We are supporters and control the FA Cup."
Scottish FA chief Stewart Regan said: "It's something I'd like to see."
Regan added that his organisation "would certainly discuss" the trials and said any move to involve the Scottish Professional Football League would have to be discussed with league organisers.
The trials would be limited to decisions on goals, red cards, penalties and cases of mistaken identity.
Video would only be used when the referee asked for assistance or when the video assistant was allowed to flag up errors.
Video decisions would be time limited and, unlike rugby, would not be replayed on big screens inside stadiums.
If the trials are successful, video assistants could come in for the 2018-19 season but not in time for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
"This is a great move. The fact people are willing to give it a go," former referee Dermot Gallagher told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We want it to supplement the referees and not replace them. We want it on key decisions - goals, penalties and mistaken identity."
Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink:
"I think it's a big help already in the Premier League [goalline technology]. Any kind of help is welcome. It must not be over done. It should be used only for key situations."
West Brom manager Tony Pulis:
"If they are going to bring it in, I am all for it. I said it from the beginning, managers or clubs should have two calls a game, where they can call things back and look at it.
"I don't think you want it time after time. But if we are talking about bringing video technology closer to the bench and pitch, then we can get two calls in. One in one half and the other in the other half and hopefully that would help."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe:
"I don't think it is going to be clear cut. It depends on what areas of the pitch it is look at in. I would be open to it, but it does need to be thought about long and hard."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez:
"We should allow the referees to make their own decisions and manage the game. Clearly if they cannot see an incident that is something they need help with. Mistaken identity for example.
"Those sorts of decisions I always felt video technology could be helpful, but I wouldn't like to take the human error away from the game. Human error is part of football. It is a game of errors and how you react to these errors as a player and a referee should be exactly the same."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino:
"More technology? I doubt whether it is good for football. The good thing in football is that we can speak after the game a lot about whether it was a red card or yellow card or was it offside or not offside.
I think football needs to keep things important such as the human decision. I think football needs to keep its sense of the past."

It has been two months since Redcar's SSI site closed and the news crews pulled away, but what is life like for the industrial seaside town's former steelworkers with Christmas just around the corner?

"We haven't got time for Christmas, we need to find me a job or we'll lose this house," says David Connor.
"I'd like a job for Christmas, not a tree, not a present, not a meal, just a job so I can provide for my family."
He says he felt his "world was crumbling" when he was one of the thousands who lost their job as Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI) went into liquidation and closed in October.
He had worked at the plant for 14 years, but more bad news was to follow. His long-term girlfriend, Suzanne McLean, worked at the Boulby Potash mine where hundreds of job losses were announced in November.
He said Christmas Day was usually "a scream" and the family "fall off the settee laughing" but it would not be the same this year.
The pair face the prospect of moving away from Teesside to find a job.
"At the end of the day it's only a financial situation - the family is healthy, no-one is seriously ill, no-one is dying," he said.
"You don't need money to have fun, you just need time."
Some of the ex-workers were lucky enough to find work before Christmas, while others have found the looming holiday is just a reminder of what they have not got.
Anna Maven became known as the SSI Wife when she blogged about her experiences when her husband, Paul, lost his job.
Her blog received widespread attention and was praised by other steelworkers' wives who said they appreciated reading about someone who was going through a similar experience.
However, the lull following the media's departure has left the couple feeling "flat", she said.
Although Mr Maven found a new job at Johnson Controls last month, the couple say they are still in a tough financial situation.
They live with Mr Maven's parents in Sunderland with their young daughters, Honor and Monica, and will celebrate Christmas together.
"I do think you can get caught up in the pressures put on you at Christmas, it's just nice to be with each other - it does make you put things into perspective," Mrs Maven said.
She says the family had hoped to be in their own house but are aiming to get on an "even keel" in the new year and make realistic decisions for their future.
Mr Maven said he lost his pride when the workers' "way of life" was taken away with a "click of a finger".
He said he was now looking forward to Christmas as he was earning money again.
"At least now we can have a few treats," he said.
Adam Levett said it did not feel like Christmas this year after losing his job, his home and his car in the space of a month.
He will take his twins, Matilda and James, to his dad's house for dinner this year, but he had looked forward to celebrating in his own home.
"I've asked them what they want for Christmas and James said he wants me to get a house," he said.
He does not see his children as much, as they live with his ex-partner and he no longer has a room for them to stay in while he lives with his friend in Redcar.
"I can cope with it better than them but it's them I'm worried about, and them not having a bedroom when they come visit me," he said.
Despite the upheaval he has faced, Mr Levett remains positive and said he was not one to "mope". He has a training course lined up for January.
Dave French has become a full-time carer for his disabled family and survives on benefits since losing his job at Southbank.
"The benefits we get now are used to pay for the basics, and additional things my wife and children need have to go by the wayside in order to keep a roof over our heads."
He will have a quiet Christmas Day with his family. However, he cannot shift the feeling that the presents he has got for his family have not come out of his own pocket.
"I could look at most stuff around my house and think 'that came out of that month's money'.
"Now I have got something nice for my boy and I know he'll love it but I think 'I didn't pay for that'," he said.


A teenager has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 47-year-old Scottish woman in Mauritius.

Janice Farman, who was originally from the Clydebank area, died in a robbery at her home a week ago.
Anish Soneea, who is 18 and from Quatre Bornes, appeared in court in the island's capital of Port Louis on Friday.
His appearance followed that of two other men, who were charged on Tuesday with murdering Ms Farman.
Ravish Rao Fakhoo and Kamlesh Mansingh, both 25 and from Quatre Bornes, made no plea at the hearing.
Local media in Mauritius have reported that Mr Fakhoo has confessed to his involvement in the killing.
The BBC's World Service correspondent in Mauritius, Yasine Mohabuth, said: "Ravish Rao Fakhoo confessed to the murder, incriminating Kamlesh Mansingh and Anish Soneea."
It is understood Ms Farman's mother has travelled from Scotland to Mauritius.
Police are investigating reports that the suspects were known to Ms Farman and visited her home frequently.
She was killed in the early hours of 7 July in front of her 10-year-old autistic son.
A post-mortem examination indicated that she died as a result of asphyxiation caused by compression of the neck.
The intruders fled with a number of items, including jewellery and her car, a Nissan Tiida, which was later found abandoned by the side of the road.
Local media have reported that the items stolen from Ms Farman's home were recovered from one of the suspect's homes.
Axcel Chenney, who works for L'Express newspaper in Mauritius, told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Fakhoo, the first one to be arrested, admitted the crime yesterday, shortly after the arrest of a third suspect, Soneea, who is only 18 years old.
"The police have yet to communicate on how it happened but some of the information from the investigation has leaked."
He added: "Janice's mother has arrived in Mauritius and we know that she is planning to repatriate Janice's body to Scotland for her funeral.
"Janice had been planning to return to Scotland before her death."
The Mauritius Police Force has said the investigation is progressing and the suspects have been remanded until next week, when they are to appear again in court.
A police re-enactment is also expected to take place at the crime scene.
Ms Farman first visited Mauritius in 1999 and later went to live in the country after her first husband went there to work.
She had been working as the managing director of PECS (Mauritius) Ltd, a privately-owned group of companies providing data services.
She had recently moved to Albion, in the west of the island.
She was well known in Mauritius, making headlines when she adopted her son. The 10-year-old, who raised the alarm after the robbery by phoning a family friend, remains under the care of local child services.
A spokeswoman for the British Foreign Office said: "We are assisting the family of a British woman following her death in Mauritius, and are in contact with the local authorities."


Bedfordshire Police deleted social media posts about Islamophobia after it emerged a logo was similar to a hand gesture popular with Islamic militants.

Islamophobia Awareness Month is run by organisation Muslim Engagement and Development (Mend).
Mend says the logo of a finger pointing upwards signifies the "oneness of God in Islamic prayer ritual".
However, in recent years it has also been used by so-called Islamic State militants in propaganda images.
Bedfordshire Police initially tweeted its support for the campaign using the logo before later removing the posts.
The force said: "It has come to our attention the pointing finger logo used to illustrate social media posts around Islamophobia Awareness Month is similar to that used by Isis.
"The logo was produced by a national charity and was used in good faith.
"As a consequence and to avoid offence, Bedfordshire Police has deleted these posts and will not tolerate Islamophobia or any other form of hatred or discrimination."
A spokesman for MEND said it was "surprised" Bedfordshire Police decided to stop using the #Iam logo for the campaign, which shows a finger on a hand pointing upwards.
He added the logo had been used since 2012 and signified the "oneness of God in Islamic prayer ritual" and the I in #Iam2016.
The organisation believes it was a "knee-jerk" reaction to some harassment and does not think anyone else has stopped using the logo.
It added it was "open to comments" and could "review" it.


Two widows of policemen who were killed 15 years ago want the government to change its rules on police pensions.

Leicestershire Police officers PC Andrew Munn and PC Bryan Moore were killed when a drunk-driver hit their car during a high-speed chase in 2002.
Both widows received their pensions, but PC Munn's wife Allison Charlton remarried before a change in the scheme in 2015 and lost her payments.
Mrs Charlton said: "I want it to be fair for everybody."
Police and Crime Commissioner Lord Willy Bach says it should be reinstated.
PC Moore's widow Sarah Everitt benefited from the pension as she remarried after the rule change.
Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire
Since 1 April 2015, any police widow is treated as if the officer had opted for a "lifetime widow's pension".
Leicestershire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Lord Willy Bach wants pensions to be reinstated to people whose partners died in the line of duty, regardless of when they remarry.
He said the rule change was unfair on Mrs Charlton, who remarried in 2009.
"The fact that PC Andrew Munn and PC Bryan Moore were both killed as a result of the same crime on the same day simply accentuates this unfairness of this disparity," he said.
Lord Bach is set to raise the issue in the House of Lords later.
Mr Munn left behind his wife and their two children, aged nine and three, while Mr Moore's left his wife and their three children aged 13, 11 and 10.
The Home Office said: "Any pensions already surrendered before 1 April 2015 will not be reinstated."
A spokesman added the government was "committed to ensuring that public service pensions are affordable, sustainable and fair".


Fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) say they have overrun a large Syrian military base on the outskirts of the city of Raqqa.

The Islamist fighters have released images of captured soldiers being beheaded after the battle for the base.
The Syrian army did not confirm that the base had fallen, but said it was organising a counter-attack.
Isis already controls much of Raqqa province, and recently seized a swathe of territory in neighbouring Iraq.
The group, which has changed its name to Islamic State, describes the territory under its control in Iraq and Syria as a caliphate.
The Raqqa base, manned by Division 17 of the Syrian army, is said to have been captured overnight after coming under siege from Isis fighters.
According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group that monitors casualties in the conflict, the assault on the base began with two suicide car bomb attacks. Meanwhile, Syrian army helicopters attacked Isis positions around the base.
Scores of Isis fighters and government soldiers were killed or hurt in the attack, the group said. The base is the largest of its kind in north-eastern Syria, and is said to be well-stocked with weapons and ammunition.
Rivals to Isis within the Syrian opposition had pointed to the lack - until now - of major confrontation over the base, close to the Isis stronghold of Raqqa, as a sign of collaboration between government forces and the militants.
However, BBC Arabic correspondent Rami Ruhayem says this narrative has been falling apart in recent weeks as clashes between Isis and the Syrian army have intensified.
The militants recently captured a gas field in the central province of Homs, in an attack that killed more than 200 people.
At least 170,000 people have been killed, a third of them civilians, since the start of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
Some nine million people, or a third of Syria's pre-war population, have fled their homes.


A man accused of murdering his five-week-old granddaughter said someone else dropped her the night she was taken to hospital, a court has heard.

Mark Jones, 45, of Cwmbran, Torfaen, has pleaded not guilty to murder at his trial at Newport Crown Court.
The jury heard Mr Jones changed his story during a series of police interviews over a number of months.
Initially, Mr Jones said he tripped over a toy and dropped Amelia Jones the day before she was taken to hospital.
He told police he dropped his granddaughter on 16 November 2012, but then said in a later interview that another person, who cannot be named for legal reasons, dropped her the following day while "messing" with their phone.
The trial has been told that baby Amelia suffered a fractured skull, brain swelling and eight rib fractures.
She had been injured at least three different times, the court heard.
The trial continues.


Crystal Palace say they have have completed the signing of full-back Pape Souare from Lille on a three-and-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee, subject to a work permit.

The 24-year-old Lille academy product has five caps for Senegal and played at the Africa Cup of Nations last month.
Souare is manager Alan Pardew's third signing in a week after the arrivals of Jordon Mutch and Shola Amoebi.
Eagles chairman Steve Parish originally announced the deal on Friday.
He tweeted: "Delighted that Pape Souare has just this minute signed for Crystal Palace. A warm welcome from all of us."


Elections for Northern Ireland's 11 new councils will be held on 22 May 2014.

London Welsh have been disqualified from the British & Irish Cup after the Championship club went into liquidation on Thursday.

The Exiles were top of their group but the results of their first two matches in Pool Two have been wiped out.
Welsh postponed Saturday's match against Doncaster Knights because they are unable to raise a side.
The Old Deer Park side, who won the competition last season, can appeal against the decision.
A statement from the Rugby Football Union said: "The [British & Irish Cup] Organising Committee's decision was due to the uncertainty of London Welsh's future, its inability to fulfil the next two fixtures and the uncertainty as to whether the club would be able to fulfil its remaining fixtures."

A man has been summonsed to face two charges of causing death by dangerous driving following the death of a woman and teenager after being hit by a car.

Shelby Lauren Maher, 17 and Rachel Murphy, 23, of Preston, were hit by a BMW on the A59 at Brockholes Brow on 20 April 2016, Lancashire Police said.
A spokesman said Mohmed Salma Patel, 35, of Blackburn, had been summonsed to appear in court at an unspecified date.
The location of the hearing was also yet to be confirmed, he added.
Ms Maher and Ms Murphy were walking in a group of five, when three of them were knocked down by a BMW heading towards Preston city centre.
Police said the third person, a girl aged 15, was treated in hospital for serious injuries.


A man who dragged his puppy along the ground by the lead on one of its first walks has been jailed for three months.

Patrick Collins, of Lower Nassau Street, Londonderry, was reported to police on 1 August 2016.
A passer-by said they saw the puppy lying on its side and being pulled "like a dead weight".
When police came to his home, he lifted the unresponsive terrier by its ears and held it in his arms.
When examined by a vet, it was noted that the puppy's heart rate was slow, it had cuts on its paws and there were fears it would not survive, but it did eventually recover.
On 2 August, Collins was interviewed and said he did not believe he had ill-treated the dog in any way.
He then became abusive to police officers and accused them of beating the dog.
He later admitted two counts of animal cruelty.
Collins's defence solicitor said it was quite clear from the probation report that he now accepted his wrongdoing.
The lawyer said that, at the time it happened, his client was "hardly able to look after himself, never mind an animal".
He had acknowledged his behaviour was completely unacceptable, not only in terms of the animal but also his son, for whom the dog was bought.
The judge said the puppy had survived thanks to the excellent care of the vet, rather than because of any actions by Collins.
As well as being jailed for three months, Collins was also disqualified from owning a pet for life and ordered to pay Â£909 in costs.


Football League Divison Two leaders Tyrone beat Derry by nine points, 2-15 to 0-12, in the Ulster derby at Healy Park to remain unbeaten in 2016.

Trailing 0-4 to 0-2 early on, Tyrone bounced back to lead 0-10 to 0-6 after a first half which saw defences on top.
A Sean Cavanagh goal made it 1-13 to 0-9 to the hosts, then Derry had captain Chrissy McKaigue sent-off for a second yellow card offence late in the game.
Aidan McCrory found the net to complete a convincing success for the Red Hands.
For Derry, it was another disappointing defeat following their home loss at the hands of Galway last week.
O'Neill top-scored for Mickey Harte's side with six points, with Cavanagh contributing 1-3 and Richard Donnelly 0-4.
James Kielt landed three points for the Oak Leafers, who also lost to their Ulster rivals in the McKenna Cup final in January.

Van Morrison has been given a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

The singer-songwriter is one of 85 people from Northern Ireland who have been recognised for their achievements.
The Belfast-born musician, whose full name is George Ivan Morrison, will be known as Sir George. He described his new title as a "huge honour".
Some of the 69-year-old star's biggest hits include Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance and, fittingly, Here Comes the Night.
His knighthood has been granted for "services to the music industry and to tourism in Northern Ireland".
In a statement on Friday, Morrison said: "Throughout my career I have always preferred to let my music speak for me, and it is a huge honour to now have that body of work recognised in this way.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans who have supported me on my musical journey."
Morrison was born into a working-class family in east Belfast in 1945 but his exceptional talent has made him a global recording star.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "one of the greatest singers of all time".
The son of Harland and Wolff shipyard worker, he grew up in a small terraced house in Hyndford Street, in the shadow of the shipyard's famous cranes.
His father's extensive record collection exposed the younger Morrison to a huge range of American musicians, including Hank Williams, Ray Charles, and Muddy Waters.
Those early influences filtered into Morrison's own eclectic style which mixes soul, blues, jazz and country music with pop and rock.
As well as selling millions of records worldwide, he has won six Grammys and a Brit award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
His relationship with stardom and the media has not always been comfortable. In 1993, he became the first living recipient not to attend his own induction ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
However, more recently he has accepted other accolades in person, including honorary degrees from both of Northern Ireland's universities.
Last year, he was granted the freedom of his native city and celebrated the honour by playing a free concert at Belfast's Waterfront Hall.
In total, 53 men and 32 women from Northern Ireland have been honoured by the Queen for their achievements in a range of fields and for their contribution to public life.
The second highest honour, Companion of the Bath (CB) was given to the top civil servant at Stormont's Department for Social Development, William Haire, while the chief executive of Belfast Harbour Commissioners, Robert Adair, becomes a Commander of the British Empire (CBE).
Also honoured is one of Northern Ireland leading exponents of the Chinese lion dance, Yuk Shan Lui.
PSNI Assistant chief Constable Will Kerr receives an OBE.
Former East Antrim MP Roy Beggs is awarded an MBE, as is BBC news cameraman Peter Cooper, who recently retired after 40 years.
Other recipients include:


Calls have been made for a law change to stop second home owners avoiding additional council tax by turning their properties into self-catering lets.

Gwynedd council is a considering charging a premium on holiday homes.
Councillor Jason Humphreys, however, fears the authority will lose out as people sidestep the charge by classing their second homes as self-catering businesses.
Gwynedd said it was powerless to stop owners making the change.
Some Welsh councils have voted through hikes in council tax charges for second homes, including Anglesey and Pembrokeshire, with other councils still consulting on a change.
Since 2006, the number of self-catering units in Gwynedd has risen from 78 to 968.
Changes to the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 mean councils have the ability to charge a premium on top of the existing council tax payments for second homes from the 2017-18 financial year.
But self-catering units are classed as businesses and so their owners pay business tax to the Treasury rather than council tax.
According to the law, self-catering units have to be made available for letting for 140 days a year, and owners have to prove they have been let for at least 70 days.
Mr Humphreys, chairman of the council's corporate scrutiny committee, told the Post Cyntaf programme there was no mechanism for monitoring the situation.
He called for AMs and MPs to demand a law change to make it compulsory for anyone seeking to reclassify their holiday home as a self-catering unit to apply for planning permission.
But Peredur Jenkins, cabinet member responsible for resources, said the council had no power to stop owners from designating their properties as self-catering units.
The council previously warned the potential "loophole" could leave authorities worse off.
Mr Jenkins said Gwynedd was pressing the Welsh Government to consider changing the planning regulations to give local authorities the power to determine whether owners could re-classify their properties.
The Welsh Conservatives have criticised the second home tax as an unfair "money-spinner", with shadow local government minister Janet Finch-Saunders calling it a "spiteful wealth tax".
She said it was a "a direct tax on people with second homes, many of whom already pay twice for services they rarely use".
An estimated 23,000 homes in Wales are empty or used as second homes.


A £1m programme to revamp visitor attractions at the Falkirk Wheel has been announced.

The wheel, which attracted over 600,000 people in 2015, will be refurbished inside and out during the work, which is due to be completed this summer.
Its visitor centre, trip boats, conference rooms and activity hub will also be refreshed with new branding.
Scottish Canals, which operates the attraction, said the wheel will remain open during the work.
Scottish Canals chief executive Steve Dunlop said the wheel, which opened in 2002, was still drawing "huge numbers" of visitors.
He said: "This investment will build on that success, refreshing the wheel's existing attractions, and encouraging even more people to take a turn on the world's only rotating boat lift.
"The Falkirk Wheel is the jewel in the crown of Scotland's canal network and the income it generates plays a vital role in safeguarding the rich heritage of the nation's 250-year-old waterways."
The wheel links the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Union Canal 35m (115ft) above and is Scotland's busiest tourist attraction outside a city centre.
It opened as part of the Millennium Link, an £84.5 million project that restored Scotland's inland waterways to a navigable state for the first time since the 1960s.


The hair-raising stunt on 1970s TV sitcom Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em, when Michael Crawford dangled hundreds of feet above the English Channel, is being remembered as part of a BBC radio documentary.

More than 15 million people tuned in for one of the classic series' most memorable episodes that sees the hapless Frank Spencer take wife Betty for a picnic on Dorset's Purbeck coast.
After being given the use of a Morris Minor car for his new job on a chicken farm, what could possibly go wrong?
Being Frank, of course, it is bound to go horrendously wrong - with the car somehow ending up see-sawing precariously on the cliff edge.
As they try to extricate themselves, Frank is soon hanging from the back bumper over the sheer limestone cliffs.
In a series renowned for its heart-stopping stunts - all performed by Crawford himself - the Italian Job-esque scene stands out for the sheer peril involved.
Speaking on a BBC Radio Solent documentary about the series, stunt co-ordinator Stuart Fell, now retired, admitted it was "quite ambitious for the BBC" at the time.
"We had to dig a hole for two railway sleepers and then fasten the car with some hinges," he said.
Crawford was fitted with a harness under his jumper, while Mr Fell was dressed in a summer frock ready to double for actress Michelle Dotrice  - in the end she did all the shots.
Mr Fell said: "Watch for when Michael appears to transfer his grip from the bumper to the exhaust pipe - it's not an exhaust pipe.
"We had to weld a huge great big metal pipe which was secure and able to move and look precarious as he held on to it."
It did not stop the coastguard receiving an influx of calls from passing ships reporting a car stuck on the cliff and someone hanging off the back.
Michelle Dotrice recalled filming was "a bit hairy" as she crawled over the top of the teetering car, holding on to her co-star's ankles.
"We could see ships in the distance," she said. "I trusted Michael and I knew he wouldn't do anything unsafe. He always prepared everything to the n-th degree.
"I didn't feel under any pressure - it was fun, I loved doing it and got whipped up in the enthusiasm of Michael."
Despite the show's popularity, she remembered her mother not being as amused after watching it go out.
"My mother came over and slapped me - 'You stupid girl, how dare you do something so silly!' she said".
In his autobiography, Crawford described the stunt as "one of my all-time favourites".
"I had enormous trust in and respect for our wonderful team of stunt advisors. We were meticulous in how we rehearsed our stunts for the show.
"Success is all in the planning, the control and knowing how to hang on like grim death!"
It's alright Betty ... I might need a bit of help though ...  I'm quite comfortable ... it's just that I can't move...
For writer Raymond Allen, from the Isle of Wight, how to get Frank and Betty out of their predicament also proved "a bit of a worry".
"When I got to the end of the script, I couldn't think of an ending," he said.
"Eventually I came up with a great idea of a coach turning up - which was a dieting group's annual day out - and all these really big women get out.
"But the BBC said 'Don't be ridiculous, you can't do that - it will upset people'."
In the end producer Michael Mills came up with the idea of passing rugby players - played by members of Swanage and Wareham RFC - pulling Frank off the cliff.
"I always got a bit worried with the stunts - I preferred the dialogue - but it was the part of the show which got the most publicity," said Mr Allen.
Having one of TV's biggest stars hanging over a cliff or hanging on to a bus while on roller skates certainly pre-occupied Michael Mills.
Speaking on a 1978 documentary, he said: "The truth of the matter is that neither Michael nor I are really quite as stupid as we look and we wouldn't do things unless they were very, very carefully prepared and all the possible precautions were being taken.
"That's my job as the producer and that's his job as an actor - to make sure he doesn't do anything where he's going to kill himself."

Older people who voted for Brexit have "comprehensively shafted the young", Sir Vince Cable has said.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, the Lib Dem leader accused the over-65s of being "self-declared martyrs" who claim leaving the EU is worth the cost.
"The martyrdom of the old comes cheap," he said, as fewer have jobs to lose and living standards are protected by the triple lock on pensions.
"For the Brexit martyrs, paradise beckons," he added.
Quoting statistics that 64% of over-65s voted for Brexit - compared with 71% of under-25s who voted Remain - Sir Vince said he was "struck by the heavily Remain sentiment in colleges and schools, and the heavily Brexit mood of church-hall meetings packed with retired people" during the referendum campaign.
He claimed that austerity measures had largely affected the working population, with pensioners suffering "relatively little" after the financial crisis.
Young people, he said, have the added problems of "prohibitive housing costs, growing job insecurity and limited career progression".
"The old have comprehensively shafted the young," added Sir Vince. "And the old have had the last word about Brexit, imposing a world view coloured by nostalgia for an imperial past on a younger generation much more comfortable with modern Europe."
The newly-elected party leader warned that describing such "masochism" as martyrdom was "dangerous", adding: "We haven't yet heard about 'Brexit jihadis' but there is an undercurrent of violence in the language which is troubling."
Sir Vince also criticised cabinet ministers, who he claimed were "waging civil war, rather than working out what they want from Brexit."
He says former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith called for trade envoys to be sacked as a result of them "talking down our country".
"At this rate, we will have Brexit thought crimes before long," said Sir Vince.
He said that with the government confirming freedom of movement will end in 2019, the UK will leave the single market and there will be no transition.


A credit card with a digital display that randomly generates a security code is being launched as a way of combating fraud.

Oberthur Technologies is currently in discussions with UK banks about rolling out the technology and will have cards "in the hands" of consumers in France by the end of the year.
Credit card fraud costs banks millions of pounds each year.
One expert said a different design for credit cards was overdue.
"In some ways, it's surprising it has taken so long for this to appear," Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert from Surrey University, told the BBC.
The card provides an extra layer of security by replacing the static printed three-digit security code on the back of the card with a mini screen which displays a random code that changes automatically every hour.
It is powered by a thin lithium battery designed to last for three years.
"The technology has existed for some time so now it will be a case of persuading card processors that it is worth doing," said Prof Woodward.
"It may be costly for card operators as some extra infrastructure will be required to ensure our cards stay synchronised with the operator, but it happens already for many banks with the dongles they issue for login."
One drawback of the card is that customers will no longer be able to memorise their security code and will need to check the card every time they want to make an online purchase.
French banks Societe Generale and Groupe BPCE are preparing to roll the cards out to customers, following a pilot scheme last year and there are also pilot schemes in Mexico and Poland.
According to the UK's Financial Fraud Action, credit card fraud in the UK totalled Â£755m in 2015 and the Office for National Statistics said that there were 20,255 victims.
There are several ways that fraudsters get hold of credit card details - from the online theft of data to skimmers that are attached to cash machines.
Skimmers - often homemade devices - that are attached to a cash machine, can steal information from the card's magnetic strip and pin code with the help of a fake ATM pin pad or web camera.
Over time, the design has become more sophisticated with the advent of so-called shimmers - that are able to gather information from the card's chip. Scammers are also now able to inject malware directly into cash machines
In response, banks are working on new authentication solutions, based on biometrics - regarded as a more secure way to identify customers.
But a recent study from security firm Kaspersky Labs suggests that cybercriminals are already planning to exploit these new technologies.
It found at least 12 sellers offering skimmers capable of stealing victims' fingerprints. Other underground sellers are already researching devices that could obtain data from palm, vein and iris recognition systems.
David Emm, principal security researcher at Kaspersky, said the Motion Code card would "reduce the window of opportunity" for a thief with a stolen card but added it would be a stronger proposition if the security code was generated on "another device".
"Banks should consider applying a multitude of cybersecurity solutions to minimise unauthorised access to such information," he said.
"Consumers must also be aware of their digital footprint, installing security updates promptly, using strong and unique passwords, applying caution when using public wi-fi networks and not revealing too much information about ourselves online."


Five Nepali footballers have been charged with treason over allegations of match-fixing during qualifiers in 2011 for the World Cup, police said.

Former Captain Sagar Thapa and goalkeeper Ritesh Thapa as well as three others were arrested last month.
Police said significant sums of money were found in their bank accounts from suspected match-fixers in South East Asia.
The athletes allegedly deliberately lost a number of qualifiers.
"The government has charged the five footballers arrested last month with treason and has sought a life sentence as punishment," Bhadrakali Pokharel, registrar at the Special Court in Kathmandu, told AFP news agency.
Mr Pokharel said they were charged under a 1989 act that anyone "causing or attempting to cause disorder with the intention of jeopardising Nepal's sovereignty, integrity or national unity, shall be liable for life imprisonment".
The footballers are expected to be presented before a court on Monday.
Football's world governing body Fifa has been embroiled in a series of alleged corruption scandals in recent months.


The deaths of two men at a house in South Ayrshire are being treated as unexplained, police have said.

The bodies of the men, who were aged 25 and 28, were found at the property in Kirkland Street, Maybole, at about 20:00 on Monday.
Post-mortem examinations will be carried out in due course to establish how the men died.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said that inquiries into the men's deaths were ongoing.


Debt problems seen in the run up to the financial crisis are "rearing their heads" again, the new head of the business select committee has warned.

Labour MP Rachel Reeves, who worked at HBOS during the crisis, said regulators needed to be "forever vigilant".
She echoed the Bank of England which warned earlier this week of a sharp rise in household debt and car loans.
Ms Reeves also pledged to question company bosses over their record on reducing the gender pay gap.
The recently elected chairwoman of the House of Commons Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee told the BBC's Today Programme she was concerned that UK households were overextending themselves with personal debt.
"I do worry about the growth of some of those issues we saw in the mortgage market in 2008 now rearing their heads in unsecured lending and in car purchases," said Ms Reeves.
"We've got to be forever vigilant. We're not going to have the same crisis as in 2008, but there are risks building up in the financial services sector as well as in household debt."
Ms Reeves's words chime with a warning from the Bank of England's Alex Brazier this week that personal loans had increased by 10% over the past year and were now at "dangerous" levels.
Ms Reeves, an economist, worked in the retail banking arm of HBOS between 2006 and 2009. She became MP for Leeds West in 2010 and served in Ed Miliband's shadow cabinet.
Under her predecessor as committee chairman, Iain Wright MP, the select committee prompted headlines over the appearances of some prominent business leaders.
Most notable were its cross-examination of Sir Philip Green, interviewed about his role in the collapse of BHS, and the appearance of Sports Direct boss, Mike Ashley, after allegations surfaced over poor working conditions and under-payment at the company's Derbyshire warehouse.
Ms Reeves said she thought those events were "really powerful and actually changed behaviour in some cases".
She said she was keen to pursue a similar strategy and also planned to look at employment practices in the gig economy.
Ms Reeves signalled her intention to get tough with companies over the difference between what they pay male and female employees.
From next April firms must publish information on the ratio of pay between the genders.
"I'd like the select committee to scrutinise that, to look at what sectors and businesses are doing well and which have some way to go," she said.
"And I am keen to call in some of those businesses to understand why some - I hope -  are getting close to parity on pay, while others are still out of step."
Following her election earlier this month she also indicated the committee would hold companies to account over their disability and ethnicity pay gaps.

A storm of criticism broke over Australia's largest retailer Woolworths, this week, when it tried to link its own marketing slogans to one of the nation's most sacred cows.

Ahead of the centenary of Australia's involvement in the disastrous World War One Gallipoli campaign, the supermarket chain asked shoppers to share a memory of someone affected by war, using the words "Lest We Forget Anzac 1915-2015. Fresh in our memories".
Anzac Day - 25 April - is arguably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during World War One and commemorates all the conflicts that followed.
The problem is, for some time Woolworths has branded itself "the fresh food people".
The ensuing backlash on social media showed Australians don't want Gallipoli - which in recent years has been elevated to an almost spiritual plane -  tainted by commercial considerations.
That reverence is backed by law.
In 1921, regulations were put in place to protect the word "Anzac" from inappropriate use.
You can't use the word "Anzac" in connection with any trade, business, private residence, boat, vehicle or charitable or other institution, or any building, without the authority of Australia's Minister for Veterans' Affairs.
Anzac isn't the only word in the Australian lexicon to get special treatment.
In 2000, the Australian government made it illegal for corporate names to suggest a link to legendary cricketer, Sir Donald Bradman, if no such link actually existed.
Bradman's life story is part of Australian folklore - a country boy whose rose to the top of world cricket.
So important is he to Australian's sense of history that the nation's ability to make it through the Great Depression is attributed in part to his ability to smack willow on leather. It didn't hurt that he thrashed the British at their own game.
The only other Australian to receive name branding protection is Australia's first and only real saint, Mary MacKillop.
Taking the nun's name in vain - she was canonised in 2010 - may perhaps bring down the wrath of God, but following a change to Australia's Corporations Law in 2010, using her name to sell biscuits or tea towels without permission could also invoke the wrath of the Australian government.


The last of the 29 Navajo Americans who developed a code with their native language to encrypt military messages in World War 2 has died.

Chester Nez, 93, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, had told US media he was "very proud" of his part developing the cipher the Japanese never broke.
It was credited with saving the lives of thousands of US troops in the Pacific.
Nez, who was also a painter, died of kidney failure on Wednesday.
"It saddens me to hear the last of the original code talkers has died," Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly told Reuters, adding he was ordering flags to be flown at half-mast in Nez's honour.
"We are proud of these young men in defending the country they loved using their Navajo language."
Nez was chosen from among 250 Navajos who arrived at the Army base in Arizona for the project. He was in high school at the time of his enlistment and lied about his age.
The code took words from the Navajo language, which was spoken by less than 30 non-Navajos at the time, and matched them to military terms. The Navajo word for turtle became "tank", chicken hawk became "dive bomber" and "our mother" meant America.
About 400 code talkers used the cipher to relay messages sent from field telephones and radios throughout the Pacific. Messages read aloud by the code talkers were immediately destroyed.
"It's one of the greatest parts of history that we used our own native language during World War II," Nez said in 2010. "The Japanese did everything in their power to break the code but they never did."
The Code Talker mission was only declassified in 1968. But the original group received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2001, and the programme was dramatised in the 2002 movie Windtalkers.
After World War 2, Nez volunteered in the Korean War, and retired in 1974 after a 25-year career as a painter at the Veterans Administration hospital in Albuquerque.
Despite difficulties travelling since both of his legs were partially amputated, he loved to tell his story, said Judy Avila, who worked with Nez on his memoir.
"He always wanted to go, he loved meeting people," she said. "And with something like kidney failure, it comes really gradually. At the end, he was really tired."


A UKIP councillor in Gosport has announced he is defecting to the Conservative Party.

Borough councillor for Rowner and Holbrook Patrick Bergin said his motivation had shifted following the EU referendum to "managing the exit".
Mr Bergin said he formally announced his decision "before anyone was aware" that UKIP leader Diane James had stepped down.
He said he would continue to represent his ward as a Conservative councillor.
He said: "I know that to help the people in my ward and be part of decision making and take Gosport forward, I can only do so by being an active member of a group who have the vision to take Gosport forward.
"That group is the Conservatives."


A Worcestershire school is seeking planning permission to rebuild its 19th Century boarding house after it was badly damaged in a fire.

Malvern College has drawn up plans for the building known as Number 6 House following the fire in April.
It will cost millions of pounds because of the work needed to restore the Grade II listed property.
The school was founded in 1865 and counts author CS Lewis among its ex-pupils.
The fire was confined to an area where the housemistress and her family normally live.

Australia sealed their first win of the 2016 World Twenty20 with a three-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Bangalore.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Spinner Adam Zampa took 3-23 but Bangladesh scored 44 in the last three overs to make 156-5 after being put in.
All-rounder Mahmudullah struck seven fours and a six in an unbeaten 49 from 29 balls and Shakib Al Hasan made 33.
In reply Usman Khawaja fired a maiden T20 fifty but Australia lost 5-37 inside five overs before edging home with nine deliveries remaining.

The Australians, winners of five 50-over World Cups, have yet to win the T20 version, with defeat by England in the 2010 final the nearest they have come to date.
After losing to New Zealand in their first group match they overcame a few decidedly anxious moments against the Tigers to revive their Group 2 campaign and are next in action against Pakistan - who have also played one and lost one thus far - in Mohali on Friday.
The blonde 23-year-old leg-spinner born in New South Wales made his debut for Australia in a one-day international against New Zealand last month and took three wickets in two matches.
After failing to get in the wickets column in his first three T20 internationals, he struck with his second delivery against Bangladesh, took another in his next over with a quicker flipper that claimed an lbw and an important third when left-hander Shakib top edged to backward point.
Bangladesh were dealt a major blow shortly before the start of the match when Tamim Iqbal, their cavalier left-handed opener and leading run-scorer in all three formats, was ruled out because of illness.
Tamim had struck five sixes in his maiden T20 international century against Oman in the first stage but in his absence, four separate batsmen hit sixes against the Australians, each of them reaching double figures at a strike rate in excess of 100.
The majority were all too brief cameos but Mahmudullah shared 51 from 29 balls with Mushfiqur as Bangladesh recorded their highest total in four T20 meetings with Australia.
Ruthless with anything short, stylish left-hander Khawaja appeared to have done the bulk of the work for the Australians when he missed a leg glance and was bowled with 42 required from as many balls.
Glenn Maxwell then looked to have settled any doubts when he smashed three fours in the 16th over bowled by debutant left-arm spinner Saqlain Sajib, but after two mighty sixes in the following over that also saw Mitchell Marsh depart, the big-hitting all-rounder was stumped with nine still needed.
Having been dropped and seen a run out chance fumbled, John Hastings hit straight to deep mid-wicket before, to the great relief of the Australian bench, James Faulkner received a long hop from Sajib and pulled it for a winning boundary.
Australia captain Steve Smith: "We made it difficult for ourselves at the end. I thought they bowled well in the middle overs. We needed one of top four to go on and we need to look at that in the next couple of games.
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza: "We've lost two, but we have to play hard in the final two matches and see what happens."


The children of the killed Labour MP Jo Cox "talk about mum every day", her husband has said.

Mrs Cox, 41, was shot and stabbed in her West Yorkshire constituency of Batley and Spen in June.
Brendan Cox, said there had been "dark and difficult" times in the last few months but the couple's two children were "surrounded by love".
"The kids are very strong they have a lot of Jo's spirit in them", Mr Cox added.
He said his focus since his wife's death had been their son and daughter, adding: "The advice from the beginning was to be open about what happened."
He said he and the children had been helped by the public reaction to Mrs Cox's death and the awareness that others were feeling some of their pain.
"It has been so visual, whether it's the thousands of people in Trafalgar Square and around the world or whether it's the people lining the streets of Batley and Spen when we had the funeral.
"Cuillin (his son) said on that day 'I knew lots of people loved mummy but I didn't realise this many people did.'"
Mr Cox said he believed the support made the children more confident about showing their own emotions.
Mrs Cox had been a committed campaigner for humanitarian issues and her husband said for the family it was important to take forward her work.
"Jo was this unbelievable bundle of energy and joy and enthusiasm and she would never rest in peace when she was alive and would not want to rest in peace now.
"Taking forward her work, her legacy and fighting for the Britain she believed in is our way of remembering her."


A man who raped and attacked women he was seeing - some of whom were pregnant - has been jailed for a total of eight years and eight months.

Steven Mays, 40, of Irvine, North Ayrshire, was convicted of 14 charges against eight women dating back to 1996 in Ayrshire and Renfrewshire.
Mays claimed he was "respectful" to women but jurors heard he had taken naked photos of some while they slept.
He was also ordered to be monitored for four years after release from prison.
Jailing him at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lord Matthews told Mays evidence had exposed a "campaign of physical and sexual violence".
"I am satisfied that you are a serial offender and you present a risk to any future partner," the judge said.
"I have to both punish you for these offences and try to protect, as far as I can, any woman who may fall under your influence."
Mays first victim was a woman he dated between 1995 and 1997.
He attacked her and repeatedly raped the woman, now aged 38, including at a house in Barrhead, Renfrewshire, when she was pregnant.
Mays met his next victim, now aged 38, at a bar in Irvine around 2000.
He beat her with a clothes iron after she became pregnant, punched her on the face and grabbed her by the throat.
Mays then went on to rape her while she was asleep and also raped her in 2002 at a house in Stewarton.
He also sent the woman naked photos of herself he had taken without her knowing.
In 2011, he then sexually assaulted a third victim, now aged 40, at a property in Kilwinning.
Like the second woman, he molested her while she was asleep.
Mays denied all the accusations and claimed he was "just a normal, happy guy" who had "made mistakes" but was "respectful" towards women.
He was convicted of two rape charges against the first woman, assault and a charge under the Communications Act.
Mays was also found guilty of raping and assaulting his second victim as well as sending her explicit messages.
He was further convicted of sexually assaulting the third woman.
Mays admitted sending sexually explicit texts and photos to five different women between 2004 and 2014.
It emerged he was already a sex offender having been convicted of sending obscene Facebook messages to a teenage girl in 2012.


A judge in Mexico City has sentenced two men to 520 years in prison for the kidnap and murder of 13 young people at a bar in the city two years ago.

The victims' bodies were found in a grave outside the city after family members organised large street protests.
Prosecutors said the crime was a reprisal for the murder of a drug trafficker a few days before.
Three other men received similar sentences earlier this year.
The young men and women ranging between 16 and 34 years of age were reported missing in the days after the group went to a bar called Heaven in May 2013.
Surveillance footage showed some of them being led to cars outside the after-hours bar.
Their bodies were discovered in a grave covered with lime, cement and asbestos on the outskirts of Mexico City.
All of them came from the poor Tepito neighbourhood of Mexico City.
The case shocked people in Mexico City, which at the time had appeared to be less exposed to the overt drug violence affecting other areas of the country.
