From the outside, this three bedroom house in a cul-de-sac in Great Dunmow, Essex, seems pretty unremarkable. But inside it's been transformed into the extraordinary. Owner John Trevillian, 49, has renovated each room in the most astonishing detail to reflect a different time and place in history. But after losing his job last year, John's fantasy project, which has taken him 25 years and around £700,000 (£200,000 in building materials as well as the £500,0000 on artefacts), may come to an end sooner than anticipated.

Fans were spotted burning Italian flags while in London 'booze buses' were used to transport drunk fans to hospital. Supporters in Newcastle (inset left) walked home rejected after the first round defeat. It was a promising performance for the Three Lions, with Daniel Sturridge scoring off a cross from Wayne Rooney just minutes after the Italians took the lead. But it was not enough as Mario Balotelli netted to make it 2-1, leaving England needing a result in at least one of their last two games.

Even the cheapest studio flats outstrip many three-bedroom homes in Liverpool as the Royal Institute of British Architects warns housing standards are turning us into 'rabbit hutch Britain'.

London Collections: Men opened today with shows from Topman, Astrid Andersen and MAN, which showcases the best up-and-coming design talent.

For in the same chilly North Atlantic waters that the 26-year-old raced rival athletes, he had in 2011 broken his neck after diving from a 15ft pier into water just 3 feet deep. But that was just the start of a journey that saw him cheat death eight times and fight his way back from what doctors told him would be a lifetime of paralysis. The triumphant return to Mullaghmore brought Mr Hawksley face to face with Fiona Hillary, the nurse who helped bring him back from the brink four times within 30 minutes when his heart failed and water filled his lungs

All nations create their own myths, and the British felt an understandable need in the depressing reality of the post-war world to vaunt the qualities of the British Army and its leadership.
