On the flip side, bell-bottoms were in full swing, Pink Floyd dropped “The Dark Side of the Moon,” and a little horse named Secretariat ran straight into the history books. These 1973 photos represent how electric the year was.

From the Beatles touching down in America and sending fans into a frenzy, to underdog Cassius Clay (soon to be known as Muhammad Ali) shocking the world by defeating Sonny Liston, 1964 was undeniably electric. It was the year that saw a huge win in the fight for equality as President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, while a little show called “Jeopardy!” made its debut on TV. Everywhere you looked, history was being made — and these photos capture it all.

Don’t you sometimes wonder what things were like a century or two ago? Explore the past by looking at these vintage wares and try to figure out what they were used for.

A Sky News reporter has infuriated viewers by referring to last night's brutal attack in Nice as 'vintage Isis'. Viewers took to Twitter to chastise reporter Lisa Holland for her 'disgusting' choice of words, which they referred to as 'gutter journalism'.

She no computer, washing machine, television or car – instead cycling to work on an 80-year-old pedal bike. Living most days in an authentic Land Girl’s uniform, she sometimes spends the evening in an air-raid shelter she built in the garden.

Although victory rolls and ankle length skirts may seem a little dated to many women in their twenties, for one it is a way of life. Holly Foster, 22, prides herself on her lady-like attire, adopting the style of women in 1950s, which has recently seen her crowned Miss Vintage UK. However, her floral prints and pearls are more than just a style statement as Holly says dressing this way - and 'not like Miley Cyrus' - is the only way to demand real respect from men.

People generally buy a Chevrolet Corvette planning to drive the wheels off it, but examples with absurdly low mileage have to come from somewhere. Cars suffer a small breakdown and are parked for years, owners suddenly pass away and their children don't know what to do with the cars, vehicles get donated to museums... the list of usual suspects for something like this is pretty limited. But the story of this unrestored and completely original 1967 Chevrolet Corvette with just 2,996 miles on the clock is a new one for us. Here's what we know: Don McNamara turned 30 in...
