  • During proceedings at the North Somerset Show, a farmer holds on to his prize bull after judging. This fine animal has gained a First and its rosette is attached to the cheekpiece of his halter. The bull is a Hereford, a breed widely raised mainly for meat production. With its traditional ring piercing its nose, the male is a heavyweight of the cattle kingdom and is a fine specimen that deserves to win his prize. Its value as a sperm donor has now increased considerably. Originally from Herefordshire, England, United Kingdom, more than five million pedigree Hereford Cattle now exist in over 50 countries. The Hereford Cattle export trade began from United Kingdom in 1817. Today, Hereford cattle dominate the world scene from Australasia to the Russian steppes. Hereford Cattle can be found in Israel, Japan and throughout Continental Europe and Scandinavia

  • Two judges wearing identical tweed jackets are assisted by two other officials, also wearing the same red sweatshirts, are measuring oversized runner beans during the vegetable Olympics at the Bay Tree Nurseries, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England.

  • The Italian operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti performs in London during the free Party in the Park concert to celebrate his 30 years in opera. A crowd of 100,000 stood in the London rain to watch Pavarotti perform 20 arias by Verdi, Puccini, Bizet and Wagner. VIPs the Princess of Wales, Prime Minister John Major and Michael Caine got soaked in heavy rain along with everyone else sitting on the grass cowering beneath tarpaulins. We see the rotund Operatic maestro in full flow, belting out an aria while dressed in formal tails and wastecoat and holding his customary scarf that he uses to dab the sweat from his brow. Pavarotti helped bring an otherwise high-brow artform to the ordinary Man after the BBC used his rendition of Nessun Dorma to theme their World Cup TV coverage. This lead the way to Opera reaching the Common Man in Britain.
