It’s been a busy past week around the globe: commemorating the brave men of D-Day, Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, Venus trekking across the sun and World Environment Day. We begin the week with a quick look around the world to give thought to events that have shaped our planet. Enjoy the journey!
