Okay, so England were predictably rubbish at Euro 2016, but 30 July will be the 50th anniversary of the 1966 World Cup win - and an auction at Silverstone will doff its cap to our greatest footballing achievement.

If you're thinking of having a crack at it though, you may want to see your bank manager first - it's got an estimate of as much as £150,000.

The sentencing of a woman from Daventry whose dog attacked and killed her six-month old baby has been adjourned after Northampton Crown Court heard she is pregnant and unwell.
Last month Claire Riley from Daventry pleaded guilty to owning a banned dog. Her American pit bull attacked her daughter Molly-Mae Wotherspoon at their home in October 2014.
The Judge, Mrs Justice Carr, said: "I'm not going to delay it until after the birth. She has to be sentenced, the sooner that happens the better."
Sentencing will now take place on 26 August.

A report into the death of an 18-week-old baby in Northamptonshire says new services should be set up to help parents with mental health issues.
"Child M" died in March 2014. His mother was convicted of manslaughter, having told police that she had shaken him on more than one occasion.

After several weeks of momentous days in politics, we've got another on our hands, as the role of prime minister is passed from David Cameron to Theresa May.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe MP for Northampton North, Michael Ellis, has been closer than most to the new MrsMay - he's been her Parliamentary Private Secretary for a year.
"The international community already recognises her as a strong and proven leader, someone who very much bats for Britain. She likes cricket - and I think she'll be hitting quite a few sixes."

Northamptonshire have failed to produce their best cricket in the County Championship this season but, until this week’s match, still harboured hopes of a steady campaign.
But they plunged back to the horrors of 2014 with a record defeat against Worcestershire. It was a truly awful performance and head coach David Ripley was exceptionally disappointed, saying “only one or two players emerged with any credit”.

As Labour lurches from one problem to the next, this morning we tried to unpick the best way forward for the party.
Gareth Eales, who represents Labour on both Northamptonshire County Council and Northampton Borough Council, said the timing of the "mutinous coup" comes at "absolutely the worst time in the country's history".
"To me, [it] makes absolutely no sense," he said.
At the moment it's Corbyn vs Eagle vs Smith in the new leadership race. If Corbyn wins again - which seems likely - then who knows what will happen next?

Parents who are being assaulted by their children are afraid of getting their son or daughter in trouble, or feel like they've failed as a parent, according to Lucy Westley from Northampton's Sunflower Centre, external.
Image source, Thinkstock"Because people see it as intimate relationships, sometimes people don't recognise that what they're experiencing is domestic abuse or controlling and coercing behaviour."
If your son or daughter is showing signs of controlling behaviour, or violence, you can seek the Sunflower Centre's help on 01604 888211.

The closure of a care home in Northampton has been approved by the county council.
The authority says the building at Ecton Brook House needs, improving and closing it is the best option.
Councillors say the money saved will be re-invested in other care homes and services.

At least one child a week in Northamptonshire is reported to the police or referred to social services for assaulting their parents, according to the services that support families.
The Sunflower Centre, external, which provides help to those at high risk of domestic violence, said seven children so far this month have been referred to their services after assaulting a parent.
The figure is up from six last month and higher that any month last year - but experts say the real figure is likely to be be far higher - with parents typically only coming forward for help when they are desperate for intervention.
Nationally, the government says that adolescent to parent violence and abuse (APVA) is on the rise.

Northampton Borough Council is due to meet today to approve spending a further £500,000 from the authority's reserves to fund the recovery of the £10.25m it loaned to Northampton Town Football Club.
Image source, Getty ImagesA total of £450,000 has already been spent on legal issues. The authority says that some of the money has been spent on retaining forensic accountants to scrutinise the club's financial position, to give a better understanding of where the money may have gone, so the council can try to trace and recover it.
It's hoped the costs will ultimately be recovered from the ongoing action to trace the money and from the redevelopment of land at Sixfields. Money recovered will be paid back into reserves.
