Hamilton first Grand Prix win
Lewis Hamilton drove a copybook race to win the Canadian Grand Prix and take his first Formula One victory in only the sixth race of his career. The Englishman led a dramatic race throughout, driving with composure as the field fell apart around him. He survived four interventions by the safety car to head Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber and Williams's Alexander Wurz. World champion Fernando Alonso finished seventh and Robert Kubica survived a huge crash after rolling his BMW. Prior to this win, 10th June 2007, Hamilton had a third and four second-places in his first five races.

Beckham bows out with Liga title
Midfielder David Beckham capped his Real Madrid career with a league title [17th June 2007]. Beckham, 32, has been at Real Madrid, following his move from Manchester United, for four seasons but the 3-1 win over Mallorca sealed a first major Spanish honour for the United States-bound star. It is the club's first La Liga success in four years and they edged out Barcelona, who beat Gimnastic 5-1, because of their head-to-head record. The England star was joined by his three sons on the pitch and was given an emotional send-off, as was Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos, who is joining Fenerbahce after 11 years in the Spanish capital.

Falklands Heroes gather 25 years later
Thousands of Falklands veterans, families and residents came together to mark 25 years since the islands were liberated. A TV link-up to the South Atlantic let them remember the 255 fallen British servicemen with a dual ceremony. On London’s Horse Guards Parade, Prince Charles, Tony Blair and Baroness Thatcher joined ministers from today and 1982. Scenes from the military cemetery beside San Carlos, where British forces landed, were broadcast on giant screens. 17th June 2007. Lady Thatcher, 81, got a massive cheer from Paras. And a plume of red, white and blue smoke soared over the Palace as 49 aircraft — representing all the squadrons in the war — did a flypast. A notable absentee was the retired Vulcan bomber which broke records for a non-stop bombing mission.

Weather, it must be Glastonbury
Thousands of music fans wallowed in thick mud at the start of the Glastonbury Festival 22nd June 2007. The heavens opened as revellers prepared for a wet weekend at the world’s biggest rock event. Stalls struggled to keep up with demand for waterproofs as ponchos, wellies, and even bin-bags were snapped up. Others got in the spirit by wrestling in the mud. But as the downpours continued, hundreds of tents began to submerge in mud, leaving many wondering where they could sleep.
