FACT OF THE DAY. 1 July 1916. On the 1st day of the bloody Battle of the Somme 19,240 soldiers of the British armed forces were killed. It was the worst ever daily death toll for the British Army in military history.

PERSON OF THE DAY. 1 July 1945. Debbie Harry, lead singer of the new wave band Blondie, was born in Miami, Florida, USA. Hits include Heart of Glass, Call Me, Sunday Girl, Picture This, Don’t Leave Me Hanging on the Telephone, Atomic and The Tide is High.

PHOTO OF THE DAY. Piccadilly Circus, London. 📷 John Hinde (1960).

I always think prog rock LPs would be less daunting to the average pundit if they didn't have such long and elaborate tittles.

Happy Birthday to Debbie Harry, singer, songwriter and actress born in Miami, Florida 🇺🇸 81 years ago today. What are your favourite songs by Blondie? #DebbieHarry

#5DebutAlbumsSF1 Group I, album 4 ABC - The Lexicon of Love In the early 80s, the Sheffield music scene hit a peak with previously minimalist synth bands moving to a more expensive sounds. ABC's metamorphosis from Vica Versa to this was the most brilliant of all. #Vinyl #NowSpinning

Another good day for Andy Burnham: the last remotely plausible 'could this guy get 81 disparate MPs to sign up for a ridiculous leadership election' says 'what a ridiculous idea', and more importantly, Burnham's new chief of staff appointment further reassures Burnham-sceptical MPs:
