Lee Thompson was recently in Rio de Janeiro to research the preparations for this summer’s World Cup.
While there, he says he managed to convince the Brazilian tourist board to let him go atop the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue and take some photographs.

According to Cameron’s parents, he absolutely loves tractors.
As soon as he hears one he immediately perks up. On the other hand, he also loves to play in his paddling pool. After spending the day in the pool, Cameron decided it was time to ride his tractor.
Unfortunately, it seems the little guy was far too exhausted to enjoy it and he ended up falling asleep on it whilst it was still in motion. Watch as he drives in a loop whilst conked out. Credit: YouTube/Nicholas Hughes
Heather Zhang was with friends at the England versus Peru friendly match in Wembley Stadium on May 30 when she captured some amazing footage.
The group of young men sitting beside Heather and her friends decided to liven up the event by constructing paper planes and launching them over the crowd. Almost impossibly, one plane soared all the way from the back of the stadium to hit Hansell Riojas, a Peru player standing on the pitch, in the head.
