25 of the best photos bringing the swinging 60s back to life
But while they are painted as the cool, carefree days when the world shook off its shackles and life burst into technicolour, that's not how everyone experienced them. The cultural revolution didn't touch all corners of the UK, where many families were still experiencing great hardship and unable to afford the new fashions, sounds and technological breakthroughs the decade offered. These photos show life as it really was back then in the UK for ordinary people. They capture the excitement of the 60s, from the dance halls to the catwalk, but they also depict the practical realities of everyday life, from the supermarket aisles to the factory floor. If you were around in the 1960s, you will remember things like collecting Green Shield stamps in the shops, getting free school milk and enjoying donkey rides and Punch and Judy shows at the beach. You'll also recall the political demonstrations of the day, as women fought for equal pay, and huge crowds demanded an end to apartheid. And you'll likely remember the events which caught the public imagination, like Pickles the dog sniffing out the stolen World Cup trophy. TV rentals, the launch of Channel 2, a huge free Rolling Stones concert and the killer fog which descended are among the other evocative images in this retro photo gallery which together help capture the spirit of the 60s. What are your abiding memories of the 1960s? Let us know in the comments section. 1 .

From a cat losing its meow to a dog with hayfever – your pet queries answered
HE is on a mission to help our pets . . . and is here to answer YOUR questions. Sean, who is the head vet at tailored pet food firm has helped with owners' queries for ten years. 4 4 Q) MY cat Pickles has lost her meow. She is happy and eating, but she has gone hoarse. She's 16 years old and otherwise seems fit. Does she need a check-up? BOB CASTLE, Doncaster A) This isn't necessarily cause for alarm as it can happen for no obvious reason in many older cats. However, there are a few health issues that need to be ruled out. I wonder if Pickles has any other symptoms such as increased hunger or thirst, or any sudden or severe weight loss? Some hormonal disorders can lead to these symptoms, as well as affecting a cat's voice. Is she still eating well, or perhaps eating from one side of her mouth, avoiding hard foods in favour of wet food, gravies or jellies? You may guess I'm looking at dental disease or pain as potential causes, which would not surprise me at her age. In any case, I think the best course of action is to get her a vet check. If they find nothing wrong, great news. If they find something, you can discuss if it's best treated now, managed lightly or just monitored. Q) CAN dogs get hayfever? And if so, what might ease it? F1 stars' pets including driver with thirteen cats, Leclerc's yacht-loving pooch and Hamilton's dog Roscoe with own car Luna, our labrador, gets a runny nose and sneezes. She's three and otherwise in good health. She also gets hotspots on her coat in summer. Please advise. EM BLAKELY, Barnstaple, Devon A) They do get hayfever, but usually not with the same symptoms as us humans. In dogs, we use the term atopy or atopic dermatitis to describe 'hayfever', or allergies to pollen, as well as many other environmental allergens. This is because it usually manifests with itchy skin, leading to scratching, inflammation, hotspots, skin and ear infections. A small number of dogs will also get a runny nose or eye irritation and discharge but not many. So Luna is either quite unusual or it could be a coincidence. It's worth a vet visit to find out and to keep her more comfortable. Q) OUR rabbit Lopsy is all alone now his brother Teddy has died. I'm planning to get a companion, but how should they be introduced? JULIE COLEMAN, Brighton A) There's definitely some science to it but often it's more of a dark art. A good rescue charity or organisation will usually help you find a new bunny pal, giving great advice on the bonding process. It takes time and gradual introductions. But, generally, there is always a match out there for every bun. I'm sure Lopsy would love a girlfriend, which might be easier than trying to introduce him to a boy he has not grown up with. I definitely encourage you to explore these options as rabbits really do need the company of their own kind. But also make sure both are spayed/neutered, or you may end up with more rabbits than you expected. Q) I AM thinking of fostering an elderly dog to get me out walking more now I'm retired. I'd like it to be an older pet. Do I need to make considerations like raised food bowls and rugs for an OAP pooch as I have wood floors? KELLY BLACK, Orpington, Kent A) Yes Kelly, those are certainly things to consider for older dogs with reduced mobility, perhaps. Slippery floors can be very difficult to navigate and can exacerbate pain and discomfort. If the dog has neck issues, raised bowls can be of benefit. The rescue you foster from should be able to advise on good adjustments to help your companion settle and live out their days with you. Well done for considering an older dog, as many struggle to find homes. Star of the week 4 THE HUNGARIAN Mudi dog will become an official breed in the UK next week. The breed, which has existed for 300 years, will be the 225th to be recognised by The Kennel Club. Janos, a nine-year-old Mudi, came to the UK from Hungary in 2016 and takes part in obedience competitions. Owner Dorit Powell, 54, from Ipswich, said: 'He has been our loyal companion on many adventures since he joined us as a puppy. 'Janos is always happy and puts a smile on our faces.' Kennel Club spokesperson Charlotte McNamara said: 'We're pleased to officially recognise this versatile Hungarian herding dog as a pedigree breed in the UK.'

Create Account Joshua Anthony Pickles, 37, died June 21 when an unusually severe summer storm swept over the lake, causing sudden swells and fierce winds that overturned the boat he was on. Seven others were also killed. Video of the storm showed turbulent waves thrashing boats on the lake, a popular tourist destination that borders California and Nevada. Pickles owned the 27-foot (8.2-meter) powerboat with his wife, Jordan Sugar-Carlsgaard, a senior executive assistant to the chief executive officer of Airbnb Inc. Sugar-Carlsgaard had stayed ashore with the couple's seven-month-old child, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. This undated photo provided by the Pickles family shows Josh Pickles, center, with his parents Terry Pickles, right, and mother Paula Bozinovich. (Pickles Family via AP) 'No words can express the pain and anguish we feel knowing their lives were lost,' Sugar-Carlsgaard said in a statement published by the newspaper. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Pickles was DoorDash's global head of strategic sourcing and procurement, according to a LinkedIn page that has now been taken down. 'Josh loved his team and was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him,' DoorDash Chief Financial Officer Ravi Inukonda said in a statement. 'Our thoughts and love are with his wife, his daughter, his family, and all who were close to him. We are working to support them through this incredibly difficult time.' The other victims were identified as friends and family of Pickles who were celebrating a birthday. 'The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office extends its deepest heartfelt condolences to the families of those who were lost and all those who have been affected by this tragic event,' the agency said in a statement. The summer weekend was especially deadly in the region. In a separate incident about 30 miles north of Lake Tahoe, three men died after jumping into a waterfall. Millions visit the Lake Tahoe area each year for hiking and water sports framed by the Sierra Nevada mountains. The region is also a popular vacation home destination for billionaires and tech entrepreneurs from the San Francisco Bay Area.

DoorDash executive, his parents ID'd as victims of Lake Tahoe boat tragedy that killed 8
A DoorDash executive and members of his family were among the eight victims killed on Lake Tahoe after their boat capsized during a sudden windstorm on Saturday. Josh Pickles, a 37-year-old executive with DoorDash, his father, 73-year-old Terry Pickles and his mother 71-year-old Paula Bozinovich all died after the boat was overwhelmed by a storm that spurred 8-foot waves and intense wind gusts up to 35 mph. 4 Paula Bozinovich, Josh Pickles, and Terry Pickles were all killed after their family boat capsized on Lake Tahoe. AP The party of eight was on the Pickles' 27-foot powerboat celebrating Bozinovich's 71st birthday, family spokesperson Sam Singer told ABC7. 'The family has homes in the Bay Area as well as on Lake Tahoe. They love the lake. That adds to the tragedy that has occurred,' Singer said. Ravi Inukonda, chief financial officer at DoorDash, struggled to fathom what the company would look like without Pickles. 'Josh loved his team and was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. During his nearly seven years at DoorDash, he brought a contagious spirit that lifted those around him. The loss of Josh is immeasurable,' Inukonda wrote in a statement. 4 Pickles served as an executive in DoorDash's finance department. Pickles worked as the company's global head of strategic sourcing and procurement in the finance department. He is survived by his wife, Jordan Sugar-Carlsgaard, and their 7-month-old daughter. 'No words can express the pain and anguish we feel knowing their lives were lost,' Sugar-Carlsgaard wrote in a statement to KTXL. Sugar-Carlsgaard, an executive assistant at Airbnb, didn't board the boat with the rest of the group and opted to stay on the shore to look after her daughter. 4 The group was on the boat celebrating Bozinovich's 71st birthday. AP The other victims were Pickles' uncle, Peter Bayes, 72 and family friends Timothy O'Leary, 71, Theresa Giullari, 66, James Guck, 69, and Stephen Lindsay, 63. Two other passengers on board survived and were hospitalized with hypothermia and other injuries, officials said. 4 The boat capsized after a sudden storm drew 8-foot waves and 35 mph winds. AP Pickles and his father shared the 'Chris-Craft' boat and had just purchased it last year. The family only used it twice before during the last boating season, according to Singer. The accident marked the deadliest boating incident in California since a 2019 boat fire that killed all 34 passengers on board.
