Tutankhamum and the Golden Age of the Pharoahs, the knock out exhibition of Egyptian treasures at London's O₂ Bubble has a few more weeks to run and tickets are still available for selected, time-specific admissions. The show which puts in the Boy King in a family context features many very human and touchingly domestic objects, like this unguent spoon handle, shaped like a naked swimmer, for use on a queen's dressing table. It closes on August 31.

Of the 929 boats racing yesterday, 775 finished and 24 retired. For another year, the Cowes Week opening day turned the Solent white with sails.

Whether you are a sailor or a wannabe, Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight is a must for lovers of international yacht sailing and yacht regattas. Amateurs and professionals sail craft of every class - from humble day boats to multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art yachts. The scene on the Solent - the channel between English South Coast and the Isle of Wight, is a spectacular flurry of flashing sails. It's brilliant for spectators, the shore scene is fun too and its on all week. Punters are saying that Katie Miller is the one to watch. The 21-year-old up and coming British sailor has joined the Henri Lloyd Cutting Edge TP52 team.
