On this day
14 YEARS AGO (2003) We told how Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein was captured by US special forces in his “underground lair” near Tikrit. 74 YEARS AGO (1944) American big band leader Glenn Miller’s plane vanished over the English Channel. He had been on his way to entertain US troops in France. 57 YEARS AGO (1961) Leading Nazi Adolf Eichmann was sentenced to death after being nabbed by Mossad agents in Argentina.
Today’s giggle
I just found out my friend has a secret life as a priest. It’s his altar ego. Downton Abbey actress and karaoke fan Michelle Dockery is 37. Jockey Frankie Dettori, whose mum was in the circus, is
48. Miami Vice star Don Johnson is 69. The OC actor Adam Brody is
39. And many happy returns to Mirror reader David Newell, of Breaston, Derbys, who turns 70 today.
