Fifty years ago, the 1966 World Cup was taking place in England - still the only time the football tournament has taken place in this country.
While some of the most recognisable photos of the occasion are well known, a host of other less famous images show a major sporting event taking place in comparatively innocent and relaxed times, with some of the best footballers in the world meeting fans, sightseeing and even feeding cows.
The 1966 World Cup was fun and games from the moment the competing teams arrived. Chile's Pedro Araya and Juan Olivares stepped off their plane at Heathrow carrying two giant dolls.
Chile spent a couple of days in London before heading north to play in Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
Humberto "Chita" Cruz got a ride on a porter's cart at King's Cross station before catching the train to the North East.
Chile's first opponents were Italy, who were also based in the North East, where three members of their squad took a break from training to feed a cow.
But some of Italy's off-the-field activities were better organised. These members of the squad looked thrilled to be visiting Durham Cathedral.
And Italian star Gianni Rivera was apparently welcomed into a woman's back garden to examine her plough.
Italy lost to North Korea, were eliminated at the group stage and were pelted with tomatoes when they arrived back home.
But it wasn't just beating Italy that helped North Korea enjoy their time in England. The team also met a local vicar.
And the North Koreans experienced Western culture at their hotel in Middlesbrough, where they were snapped watching Laurel and Hardy comedy Towed In A Hole on television.
Another team to welcome the press photographers into their hotel were West Germany.
They reached the final and stayed in England long enough for Heinz Hornig to need a haircut from a local barber, excitedly watched by captain Uwe Seeler.
The West Germans realised they would need to cope with the English weather.
Helmut Haller - who would go on to open the scoring in the final - was the man tasked with handling the delivery of 25 folding umbrellas that arrived at their hotel in Derbyshire.
And Haller and his famous team-mate Franz Beckenbauer were transported into colour when they helped the chef at the Peak Hotel prepare dinner.
One man who saw Beckenbauer, Haller and their team-mates playing football was Swiss fan Emil Hollinger.
Intrepid Hollinger, a window cleaner, walked 810 miles from Zurich to Sheffield to see his national team play West Germany at Hillsborough. Switzerland lost 5-0.
