He may have been booted out of the World Cup and banned from all football for four-months, but that didn't stop fans of Luis Suarez giving him a hero's welcome when he returned home to Uruguay. The footballer happily greeted crowds from the deck of his mother's home while holding his son Benjamin and daughter Delfina. His return comes as Uruguay prepare to play Columbia.

The official account, though, given hours after the killing on Monday by the governor of Hilla, 57 miles south of Baghdad, was that militants had attacked the convoy. But a police captain, a second police officer and a senior local official from where the prisoners died in Hilla, said no attack took place, and the police had executed the 69 men. It comes as Shi'ite Muslims, the majority in Iraq, join troop units to defend Baghdad from Sunni militants ISIS.

A father from Cardiff has told how he 'tortures himself' with thoughts he might have failed his two sons who ran away to Syria to join the fanatical Islamist group ISIS. The well-educated young men decided to abandon their promising futures and run with fighters who routinely behead their enemies. One of Ahmed Muthana's sons, Nasser Muthana, pictured top right, appeared with another Cardiff man Reyaad Khan, bottom right, in a recruitment video urging Britons to take up arms and join ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria. Pictured left is the South Wales Islamic centre in Butetown, Cardiff, one of the places where Nasser Muthana's family would go to worship.

After his straight sets victory over Roberto Bautista Agut on Centre Court, Murray complained that they had opted to watch his elder brother Jamie who was playing a doubles match at the same time. Apparently joking, he said: 'It's a shame. We were on at the same time. None of my family came to watch me, so I'm always the number two son.'

A top London hair salon is offering wannabe tennis Wags the chance to recreate Kim's signature look (right). Annabel Cole (left) sees if it is worth the eye-watering price tag.

'Prof' Alan Thornton was given an MBE but had doubt cast on his credentials (left) while Dr Anjan Kumar Banerjee was involved in research misconduct case (right). But there is more to dodgy honours than a couple of cases with doubt cast on them. One firm, Awards Intelligence, helps wannabe MBEs draft letters of recommendation, charging £3,000 and using the services of Labour peer Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate OBE - who was recently suspended from the Lords over a 'cash for access' scandal. Its owner claimed it helped more than 20 people make this summer's Birthday Honours list.

Princess Beatrice (left) avoided the queues - and a £17.20 return fare - by hitching a ride on HMS Ranger (right) when she travelled to the picturesque Isle of Wight. The 25-year-old's decision to hop aboard HMS Ranger, an Archer-class patrol boat, when she travelled to the island last week raised eyebrows, with one resident saying: 'Why couldn't she come on the ferry like everyone else?' Insiders insist it didn't place any additional burden on the taxpayer.

German media wasted no time ridiculing Cameron's defeat, comparing him to the footballer by saying: 'He lines up, he loses, he goes home'. Meanwhile, David Cameron last night warned that Britain is in a 'war' with the EU after European leaders railroaded through the appointment of arch-federalist Jean-Claude Juncker. In some of the strongest remarks by a British prime minister in Brussels, he condemned the 'backroom deal' and warned it could see Britain pushed towards the exit door.

In the past few decades, bitter rows about the benefits, costs and consequences of immigration have become part of the fabric of British public life. As a nation, we have been arguing about it ever since the arrival of the SS Empire Windrush, which brought some 500 settlers from Jamaica in 1948.

The first main acts have taken to the stage after a torrential downpour transformed Worthy Farm into a mudbath - to the delight of revellers. Rain started drizzling yesterday before thundery storms hit the site in Pilton, Somerset, this morning. They are expected to carry on into the night when acts including Lily Allen, Haim and MIA will play.

Trains out of all 19 platforms were brought to a standstill for almost an hour after the incident happened just before the height of the rush hour at 4.40pm. The chaos disrupted journeys home across south west London and parts of southern England including Southampton, Portsmouth - and the Wimbledon tennis championships. The trespasser, dressed in white shorts and a 'bum bag', is believed to have walked off platforms 13 and 14 and on to the rails. He was detained under the Mental Health Act and taken to hospital to be assessed, said police.

An ethereal mass of moon jellyfish was spotted by kayaker John Bentley off the beach at Newquay in Cornwall. Jellyfish, which are known by conservationists as a barometer of the seas, are remarkably sensitive to changes in temperature, pollution and numbers of predators and food sources.

American Hustle actress Amy Adams traded her first class seat on a Detroit to Los Angeles flight with a soldier who had been booked in coach. Adams reportedly noticed the American serviceman at the gate and quietly asked to switch seats with him. The five-time Academy Award nominee has often spoke glowingly of her father's time in the military. Adams is pictured with Ernest Owens, her seatmate in coach after she gave her first class ticket to a soldier on the same flight.

The ex-football player, 56, pictured top left, posted dramatic images of the topless criminal being wrestled to the floor in Rio de Janeiro, pictured right and bottom left, after he had chased him down and caught him. The former Bradford, Luton and Swindon star, who is in Brazil for the World Cup, then tweeted that he had 'not lost' his pace - but that he was 'done in' after the heroic chase. The pundit, who tweets as @Chris_Kammy to 1.2million followers, tweeted a second photo of himself standing in front of his 'prize catch', who is facing a fence with his hands cuffed behind his back. He then joked that his good deed had back fired - after realising he would have to give a statement to police.

Washington photographer Gaston Lacombe spent two months in Antartica capturing these stunning images. he ays he only began to notice the incredible colours after a few weeks. Penguin poo turned pink form a diet of Krill, mud from melted areas and massive blooms of algae are responsible for the changes.

North Korean state media claims its army has tested 'ultra-precision tactical guided missiles' and Kim Jong-un, pictured in white with his top deputies, seemed satisfied as he watched the launch. An image of the dictator observing the tests has emerged a day after claims from South Korea that three short-range projectiles had been fired from the North towards its waters. Officials in the South say they were fired from an eastern port city on Thursday and flew around 190km before harmlessly landing into the waters off its east coast.

Derrel Weaver, 60, (right) performing from Higher Widlake Farm in Widegates, Cornwall, is wanted in connection with an investigation which began after a domestic incident at the farm at 9.30pm yesterday.

Simon Brown, from Buckinghamshire, pictured with his daughter Sienna, decided to quit their jobs, sell their house and embark on a round-the-world sailing trip. But Sienna soon began to misbehave as the trip went on - and soon she became the 'child from hell'. Her mother now blogs about her daughter's difficulties in adjusting to life at sea, but the parents say they have no immediate plans to stop their dream trip.

Prince Harry arrived in Chile this morning to a rapturous reception and several marriage proposals ahead of a meeting with President Michelle Bachelet. At the La Moneda palace in Santiago, he and the president enjoyed a warm chat before the prince was driven to a kindergarten for vulnerable children. There, he met Francisca, three, who showed him how to play the pifilca - a ductless local flute.

Kate Miller, from Arbroath, Angus (pictured left with Cally), says she is living every parent's 'worst nightmare' as she helplessly watches doctors battle to save her daughter Cally Simpson in a Barcelona hospital. Cally (pictured right back at home) was found unconscious at the bottom of a swimming pool on Monday during her first holiday abroad at the Villa Marina resort in Salou, Catalonia.

The 40ft high rubbish pile can be seen dwarfing the houses on a residential street in Bromley, Kent, left, and top, Aniseur Rahman, who moved to the area with his wife so their children, Rowza and Reean, could have a garden to play in, but instead the family can't even open their windows, and bottom, the giant mound at the end of Cornwall Drive

British Airways, the only airline which uses the terminal at London's busiest airport, told passengers they couldn't say how soon they would get their bags back - as angry fliers were left in Uganda, Canada and Europe with no possessions. Some 30 miles of belts which usually move 12,000 bags a day for the airline were put out of action thanks to an IT fault. The airline apologised for the delays, which are reminiscent of the terminal's shambolic opening in 2008 when hundreds of thousands of bags went astray. It is likely thousands of bags have been caught up in the chaos, which left hundreds upon hundreds were lined up in the terminal's departure lounge yesterday (pictured).

Members of the Orthodox Christian community in the mostly Muslim city held a ceremony to celebrate 'hero' Gavrilo Pricip's shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

The driver of this lorry was left sweating with humiliation after he crashed his cargo of deodorant cans into a railway bridge in Swindon, Wiltshire. The trailer was mangled and the cab was wedged under the underpass after it failed to clear the 15ft bridge - which was clearly signed. A reinforced steel safety barrier bore the brunt of the collision, meaning rail services were not disrupted.

In 2000, Sgt Steve Heaney (inset) and 25 other men from the Parachute Regiment’s elite Pathfinder platoon were in Sierra Leone, sent by Prime Minister Tony Blair in one of his first military interventions to back up his ‘ethical’ foreign policy. The West African country had been in a vicious civil war for years, but now a brutal group of terrorists known as the Revolutionary United Front (pictured main)— ordered into battle by the president of neighbouring Liberia, Charles Taylor — were closing in on the capital, Freetown.

Dr James Hull was fascinated by model cars growing up in Monmouthshire - and now 53, he has an astonishing collection of 540 vintage and classic cars. He lives in a Herefordshire castle which he and his wife Nova (inset) built themselves and has Britain's biggest private car hoard. The millionaire who made his fortune in cosmetic dentistry admitted: 'I've always liked to have the full set'.

Marvin Swash (right) is an Airedale terrier show dog with a host of trophies who lives in languid comfort on his owner Mary's three-acre farm in Hampshire. Marvin's puppies (top left) cost up to £1,000 each - making him a hit with the ladies, and he certainly can't get enough of them. He's got sex 'on the brain', confides Mary (bottom left). 'I don't imagine he thinks about much else'.
