Celebrity birthdays: Sophia Loren (1934), Alannah Currie of the Thompson Twins (1957)
Historical events: The first Cannes Film Festival premiered (1946), The European Court of Justice ruled in favour of Jean-Marc Bosman in his restraint of trade case against FC Liége (1995)
Saint of the day: Saint Eustace is depicted in art with a stag, which is reason enough to make him saint of the day. If that's not enough, he's also the patron saint of 'difficult Madrid situations', which sounds intriguing.
