In Leeds England the BBC televised High Mass from St Anne's Cathedral drawing objections from the National Union of Protestants and the Protestant Truth Society who claim England condemned Mass during the Reformation. Bishop J C Heenan led the ceremony and preached.

A landslide on the Oregon coast near Astoria continued its slow movement after heavy rains.
