Pamplona holds opening bull run during Spain's San Fermin festival
The bulls pounded along the twisting cobblestone streets after being led by six steers. Up to 4,000 runners take part in each bull run, which takes place over 846 meters (2,775 feet) and can last three to four minutes.
Most runners wear the traditional garb of white trousers and shirt with a red sash and neckerchief. The expert Spanish runners try to sprint just in front of the bull's horns for a few death-defying seconds while egging the animal on with a rolled newspaper.
Thousands of spectators watch from balconies and wooden barricades along the course. Millions more follow the visceral spectacle on live television.
While gorings are not rare, many more people are bruised and injured in falls and pileups with each other. Medics rush in to treat the injured and take the seriously hurt to a hospital.
Unofficial records say at least 15 people have died in the bull runs over the past century. The deadliest day on record was July 13 1980, when four runners were killed by two bulls. The last death was in 2009.
The rest of each day is for eating, drinking, dancing and cultural entertainment, including bull fights where the animals that run in the morning are slain in the bull ring by professional matadors each afternoon.
The festival was made internationally famous by Ernest Hemingway's classic 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises about American bohemians wasting away in Europe.

Nicola Peltz makes savage family remark as Brooklyn set to snub little sister Harper's big birthday
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are expected to miss Harper's 14th birthday celebrations this week as they continue to celebrate Nicola's father's birthday for a second week. Nicola Peltz has made a number of eyebrow raising remarks about family life as her father's birthday celebrations enter a third week but it seems a return to the UK for Brooklyn's little sister Harper's big day is said to be highly unlikely. Talks of tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola's relationship with David and Victoria first started in 2022, around the time of the pair's wedding and it appears there are no signs of their frosty feud ending any time soon. The 26-year-old aspiring chef is still celebrating the birthday of Nicola's billionaire dad, who she referred to as the "most loving father", just weeks after snubbing his own dad's 50th milestone birthday in the UK. The American actress has paid another gushing tribute to her family again as her father Nelson Peltz's 83rd birthday celebrations continue into a second week. Showing her followers her Pop Mart dolls lined up in a row, she wrote: "our little family", with a telling second snap, which she captioned: "My mom just gets it." There was more to come as she rounded off her collection with a snap of herself hugging her father, writing: "I love you so much dad." Meanwhile, her husband Brooklyn's younger sister Harper turns 14 on Thursday but a source claims that the Peltz Beckhams have no intentions of joining in on the teen's celebrations back in the UK, the Mirror reports. Harper, who is the youngest of Posh and Beck's four kids, is said to have become collateral damage alongside Brooklyn's two younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, as an insider claims the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents. The source said: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn. "They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers. "But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.' Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here an While Brooklyn and Nicola celebrated billionaire Nelson's birthday in Bedford New York with the Peltz family, Posh and Becks were back at home in the UK. Nicola, 30, later posted a snap to social media of her and Brooklyn with her dad and penned a gushing tribute. It said: 'I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of… Thank you for always being there for us – our constant love and support.' If Brooklyn fails to acknowledge his little sister's birthday, it will be the latest hurtful move in a string of snubbed family events and milestones that the Beckham's eldest son has dismissed amid their ongoing rift. In May, Brooklyn missed all of David's pre-birthday bashes in the Cotswolds and Paris, also snubbing his star-studded dinner at the Michelin starred west London restaurant. The football icon was joined by some of his closest pals to celebrate his 50th birthday, including Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Guy Ritchie, and was treated to a performance by son Cruz, 20, on his guitar, while Romeo, 22, was tasked with the job of carrying in David's cake. Given that Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father's big milestone on any of his social media channels but publicly wished Nelson 'A Happy Birthday'. He also remained silent on Father's Day and when his father was honoured with a royal knighthood last month. Therefore, insiders have claimed that the chances of Brooklyn 'showing up for Harper' are looking pretty slim. The source said:'A teenage birthday is a big deal for any child and in the past they've always tried to do things together as a family. 'Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it's not looking likely at all.

Who Is Kelly Osbourne's Fiancé Sid Wilson?
It's the ultimate friends to lovers' story. Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson are officially engaged after the American DJ and keyboardist got down on one knee at Ozzy Osbourne's final Black Sabbath show on 5 July. Proposing in front of Osbourne's family – dad Ozzy and mum Sharon – backstage, Wilson said, 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.' He was then momentarily interrupted by Ozzy who joked, 'F**k off. You're not marrying my daughter!' After the laughter died down Wilson continued, 'Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?' Luckily she said yes (obviously!), and the rest is history... The ring - designed by Sid Wilson and Pascal Mouawad - is said to be inspired by Kelly's nickname 'Honeybee' and crafted from 18k yellow gold and crowned with a 2.5 carat round diamond.

Ackman was initially set to partner tennis maverick Nick Kyrgios after the Aussie suggested they pair up for an ATP event, however, the pro suffered an injury that ruled him out of contention. Sock had officially stepped back from tennis to focus on pickleball, but stepped in to partner Ackman - despite only first meeting him last week. 4 Sock's last ATP event came at the US Open in August of 2023 Credit: AFP 4 Sock boasts three doubles Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold in mixed doubles from Rio 2016 Credit: Getty Images - Getty JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS It was Sock's request for a wildcard place for the duo that allowed them to participate in the tournament, where they will be sponsored by Nike.
