If you could go back and relive any famous sporting occasion or music concert from history, what would you choose? Perhaps Ali v Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle, The Who at Isle of Wight Festival or Cathy Freeman in 2000?

Rishi Sunak's party is facing an election wipeout and now the UK prime minister's seat could even be at risk when voters go to the polls in a few hours' time. Voters are widely expected to vote in a Labour government for the first time since 2005, with the only question seemingly just how big will the majority be. This election is likely to bring a scale of change Britain has not seen for decades if it delivers a big Labour majority and a diminished Conservative Party.
