Win a bottle of wine

In 1967, the residents of Monterey, a quiet fishing village on the coast of California, were worried about hosting a rock festival as they feared that thousands of  pot-smoking, free-loving hippies would come from San Francisco and ruin the area.

It remains 40 years since Great Britain won gold for eventing but there has been no need for Baddiel and Skinner to write a song about it.

Zara Phillips does not need to shoplift, but then neither do many shoplifters. Last week she was stopped from carrying too many Superdry items into a changing room.
