✦ Synopsis

Realistic lattice QCD calculations, including the effects of up, down and strange sea quarks, are maturing and continued comparison against experiment is consolidating the confidence we can place in the results. I will review in particular the latest results in bottom and charm physics and what the near future holds for the numbers needed for the B physics programme.
