There was plenty going on in the world in 1958 - the year a 17-year-old Pele helped Brazil claim their first World Cup.
‘Tennis for Two’ became one of the first video games, seven Manchester United footballers were among 21 people killed in the Munich air disaster, and The Bridge on the River Kwai won seven Oscars including Best Picture.
In Britain work on Britain's first full-length motorway (the M1) began, the Church of England gave its moral backing to family planning, and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award was presented for the first time at Buckingham Palace.
Meanwhile in Scotland work began on the Forth Road Bridge, Christmas Day was a public holiday for the first time, and actor Peter Capaldi was born.
Here are 26 pictures to take you back to those days.
