    I would like a loop that displays a post tagged ‘featured’ if it exists – if, however there is no ‘featured’ post for it to display then I’d like to just display the latest post. How do I do this please?

    example:

    $my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'tag' => 'featured' ) );

if( !$my_query->have_posts() ) $my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'post_type' => 'post' ) );

if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();

/*whatever your output for the post*/

endwhile;
endif; wp_reset_postdata();
