On 18 October 1964, Lynn Davies won Olympic gold in the long jump.
The first Welsh individual to become an Olympic athletics champion.
He went on to hold Olympic, European, and Commonwealth titles all at once, a first in athletics history.

Impossible to look at this image without thinking of the Paris Commune in 1871 — insurrectional destruction, setting Paris city hall ablaze. The difference is that, today, protesters have no political ideology, they are thugs who loot and pillage, their goal is chaos.

מפגינים השתלטו על גני הטווילרי הסמוכים ללובר ולארמון האליזה והם ממטירים ריהוט גינה על השוטרים בכיכר הקונקורד. מראות סוריאליסטיים לחלוטין:

La FNAC de Marseille, immense, a été entièrement pillée. Il ne reste que les livres. C’est cocasse pour des jeunes qui voulaient des moyens d’étudier 😏

In Grenoble, a masked protester hijacked a tourist train.
🇫🇷🚂 CE N’EST PAS DE L’IA, ÇA SE PASSE EN FRANCE ! 🤯
À Grenoble, un train touristique, complètement vide et conduit par un manifestant cagoulé, est passé devant les forces de l’ordre, STUPÉFAITES par la scène et DÉPASSÉES par les événements.
Un peu plus loin, le conducteur a récupéré d’autres manifestants cagoulés.

Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍

A madcap musical comedy about wartime espionage really shouldn't work, but it really does.
