Scores of hilarious memes were posted online after the newspaper released archive footage showing Edward VIII teaching The Queen Mother, seven-year-old Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret, three, the controversial salute.

The extremists drove a truck loaded with explosives into the town of Khan Beni Saad on Friday evening, before they detonated the bombs and turned what should have been celebrations for the end of Ramadan into a scene of horror, with body parts scattered across the market place. Tomato crates were turned into stretchers to carry the bodies of the children, while adults lay injured on the ground. It is thought more than 170 were injured in what is one of the deadliest attacks in Iraq for a decade.

A lorry burst into flames at around 1.30am between junctions 12 and 13 of the M6 (inset), causing the road to melt.

Tailbacks stretched for more than 11 miles with delays of up to an hour with traffic slowing to a standstill at some points. Part of the M20 is also closed to tourist traffic after lorries attempting to cross into France ended up stacked along the side of the carriageway. The news will spell misery for millions of holidaymakers taking to the roads for their summer getaway.

The schoolchildren spent three weeks learning their routine to The Lion King's 'He Lives in You', being careful not to let their secret out of the bag.

As she stood in the middle of the playground, teachers switched on the music and around 350 schoolchildren, aged three to seven, broke into a spontaneous but choreographed dance.

Chinese group Tzaneen International say they plan to spend 100 million Euros refitting the building as a cargo hub after it proved a failure as a passenger airport, seeing its last flight land there in 2012. The airport was designed to carry the overflow from Madrid's Barajas terminal, and opened in 2009, but by 2011 it was accepting just a handful of flights. It has since become a symbol of Spain's ruinous vanity spending during its boom years, alongside Castellon which closed before a single flight had taken off.

The town, in New Zealand's North Island, is a tiny enclave of just 120 people more than 40 kilometres away from any other civilisation, and is only accessible by a dirt path.
