SMILES OF THE WEEK

BRIGHT START

It’s the day that puts others into the shade – it’s International Sunglasses Day.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

A nationwide poll has named Groundhog Day as our favourite feelgood film. Time to rewatch it.

CUT THEM SLACK

It’s Wrong Trousers Day on Thursday, when you wear silly-looking breeks for charity. Some people on our sports desk have been celebrating this one for years.

WE’RE NEUTRAL, HONEST

Time to don your bowler hat and St George’s flag – or your Panama hat. England take on Panama later today.

WEDDING WOW

A bridesmaid brought an unexpected plus one to her sister’s big day after her baby arrived early... but she still made it to the wedding five hours later.

GOOD VIBRATIONS

Celebrations after Mexico’s first win at the World Cup were so huge they caused an artificial earthquake!

BOMBS AWAY

A woman planning to sell a Second World War bomb on eBay was stunned to learn it was live and needed blowing up. Yes, she was definitely shell-shocked!

GLORY DAYS

A Saltire celebrating Arbroath’s 1885 record 36-0 victory over Bon Accord was on display at the Poland v Senegal match. Nice to see a Scottish win at the World Cup – no matter how old!

PRETTY PERENNIAL

Fashion gurus have announced the biggest trend this season is florals. Even if you’re not the green-fingered type you can still feel blooming lovely this summer. Treat yourself for happy days(y)!

AND THEY CALLED IT...

After talking to a man from Leeds online, an American woman discovered he had the same dog as her, a Boston terrier, also named Lola. This week they got engaged. That’s real-life puppy love.
