A clearly emotional Evans, bottom left, confirmed that the pilot of the former RAF aircraft died in the tragedy. Fans looked on in shock, main photo, after the aircraft exploded and a plume of black smoke rose from the trees on the north side of the race track.

Declan Donnelly married his partner and agent Ali Astall in a local ceremony in his hometown of Newcastle upon Tyne today. The TV host arrived at St Mary's Cathedral in the city centre alongside best man Ant McPartlin, and a stream of celebrities including Tess Daly, her husband Vernon Kay, Philip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, Ben Shephard, and Alan Shearer.

The road rage row was caught on camera by the cyclist after he claimed the driver passed too close to his bike on a Reading road, Berkshire. His attempts to remonstrate with the motorist sparked a torrent of abuse (left) from the furious man who leaned out his window to yell: 'Mate, how f***ing big is that bicycle? 'If you'd have had the decency to go over one side instead of taking the whole f***ing road ... are you a f***ing tank?' But it ends badly when he tries to chase the cyclist and trips over (right).

The funeral of Bobbi Kristina Brown descended into chaotic and rancorous scenes as Leolah Brown was forced to leave the service half way through. After reportedly beginning a rant in the church, Bobby's aunt and Bobbi Kristina's great aunt, gathered reporters to say, 'Whitney Houston will haunt Pat Houston from the grave'. Dressed in a white hat and jacket, pictured center, she said that the service was going well until Pat Houston started to speak. Addressing reporters outside St. James United Methodist Church, Brown declined to say exactly what Pat Houston had said that so incensed her, but did say that she felt compelled to get her frustrations off her chest. 'This is going to be a long drawn out process,' she said. Earlier, mourners including Grammy award winning singer Monica and actor Michael Jai White, top right, gathered at an Alpharetta, Atlanta church to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina, the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B; singer Bobby Brown. Her hearse was escorted to St. James United Methodist Church by a huge police motorcade, pictured bottom right, and her coffin was carried into the invitation only service by four men dressed in black suits, pictured inset, as family members arrived for the 11am start.

As Mohamed Al-Fayed sails on a vintage vessel this weekend through the Mediterranean, the former Harrods owner's choice of boat is a far cry from the super yacht he once invited Princess Diana to stay on. He is travelling on 112ft Sakara (top) a yacht built in the 1913 by an American shipbuilding firm and used by the Egyptian tycoon for holidays around Europe. But it is nothing compared to Al Fayed's former yacht Sokar, also known as Jonikal (bottom). The ship was often used by his son Dodi to woo Diana, Princess of Wales, and was where the famous shot of her taking a few quiet moments alone was photographged. Al Fayed sold the ship last year for $13million after it had been on the market for years.

Hamad Said journeyed more than 2,000 miles from Sicily to Birmingham at a cost of €76 - around £53 - with French and Italian authorities simply waving him through en route to the UK. Mr Said said the the two countries helped him by providing free train rides. And he claimed that even when he was eventually stopped by police in Marseille, they told him he had to leave the country. He replied that he was off to England, to which the officers simply said: 'OK.' They then gave him a piece of paper that allowed him to travel free on trains across the country. The astonishing ease at which he made it to Calais is likely to raise questions on how mainland EU countries are fuelling the flow of migrants headed for Britain.

A Kentucky man shot down an $1,800 drone hovering over his sunbathing daughter and was then arrested and charged with first degree criminal mischief and first-degree wanton endangerment. 'My daughter comes in and says, "Dad, there's a drone out here flying."' The Bullitt County father shot at the drone, which crashed in a field near his yard Sunday night. He was then taken into custody.

Rajaa Hashim, (top left) Osama's stepmother, her daughter and Osama's half-sister Sana bin Laden, and her husband Zuhair Hashim, Osama's brother-in-law, have been named as victims of the crash at Blackbushe airport yesterday. Sana was killed alongside a Jordanian pilot, Mazen Al Doaja, bottom right, when their private jet crashed after overshooting a runway while trying to land at an airfield just outside London. The £7million Embraer Phenom 300 was owned by Salem Aviation in Jeddah, which is controlled by the dead terrorist's family. The Brazilian-built aircraft exploded after ploughing into a parking lot. Forensic teams were pictured at the scene today, bottom left.

Afghanistan's unstable security situation could be set to worsen with fears growing that Taliban defections to a small but growing ISIS franchise group may lead to further violence. Following the Taliban's official confirmation of Mullah Omar's death, fears have started to grow that a ISIS franchise has the potential to pose a serious challenge to the jihadi group in Afganistan. ISIS's Khorasan province, (wilayat al-Khorasan) remains a small group of militants but could have significant financial backing from ISIS with signs of Taliban instability.

The love affair of Baroness Mary Vetsera (inset) and Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria captured the world's imagination when their bodies were discovered in 1889, at the prince's Vienna hunting lodge. It is still not known how they died, with several theories claiming it was a suicide pact, others claiming the prince shot his lover before turning the gun on himself, and others claiming they were both murdered as they slept. The discovery of the letters (main picture) 126 years after their deaths, has been hailed as 'sensational'.

The young man, who is said to be British, was wearing just a pair of shorts and appeared to be unconscious when he was filmed lying across the back of the car as his friends threw their arms into the air. The stunned Spanish driver who filmed the dangerous stunt showed his speed twice - once at 100kmh (60mph) and again at 120kmh (75mph). But the holidaymaker barely moved and didn't seem to notice the danger he faced as the car raced along the fast lane of the dual carriageway outside the popular Spanish resort.

Dozens of people sat down in front of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, central London, today where they filled balloons with nitrous oxide and simultaneously breathed in the gas. It is branded 'laughing gas' for its common effect of inducing laughter and many of the protesters erupted into giggles and cheered before spreading out across the lawn. The Government has announced a crackdown on psychoactive substances, drafting a bill to outlaw the sale for non-medical purposes of mood-altering drugs, excluding alcohol, nicotine and caffeine.

Saturday's matches were marked by people showing support for Sydney Swans player Adam Goodes (inset), including Lewis Jetta, who performed an indigenous dance in tribute to the man who has become his mentor over the last five years (left). The race row around Goodes - an ambassador for Indigenous Australians - dates back to May 2013, when he pointed out a person in the crowd during a game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for calling him an ape. The Aussie rules supporter was removed from the ground.

The businessman (pictured) told his fellow contestants: 'I want to live hard, die young,' on an episode of Come Dine With Me last November, filmed on the Isle of Man. His claim appeared to foreshadow his tragic death earlier this week as friends fear the 27-year-old may have worked himself to death. Mr Baggs, pictured bungee jumping (bottom left) and asleep under a pile of money (right) said: On the show, he said: 'Every weekend I will be either driving a sports car, sky diving, rock climbing, something crazy.' The entrepreneur became the Apprentice's youngest-ever candidate when he appeared on the show (top left) aged just 21 in 2010 but was struggling with stress from his new job.

On the campaign trail it can often be hard to fit in some one-on-one time with your other half. So when Bill and Hillary Clinton had a Friday night off together they arranged a date night, and were joined by thousands of music fans. The political powerhouses watched U2 in their last of eight shows at Madison Square Garden. They sat on the front row of one of the circle sections and waved to fans who were snapping pictures of the couple on their cell phones. However another member of the star-studded crowd, scandal-hit news anchor Brian Williams (top right), decided to keep his visit under wraps. Bruce Springsteen (bottom left) also showed up to watch the Irish rockers in action.

Ethan Williams, a 25-year-old British tourist, recorded the mid-air drama as passengers put on their life vests and learned how to perform the 'brace position' as the Boeing 777 was diverted to a remote island in Alaska. An emergency was declared after smoke was detected on the flight from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, and at one point cabin crew informed travellers an 'emergency breach' might be necessary. Later, passengers breathed a sigh of relief when they were told a 'normal landing' was expected.

Expert explosives officers inspected the item on Brighton seafront, part of which was closed off, but Sussex Police said the incident was being treated as a hoax. Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp said: 'We believe the item was placed there deliberately and made to look like a suspicious device to disrupt the parade. We have started a criminal investigation.' The item was discovered on the A259 by the bandstand at 11.10am today, shortly before the Brighton and Hove Pride march was due to start. The parade had to be re-routed and the start was delayed by an hour and half.

Not so long ago, James Casbolt was one of the select guests at a gala dinner in New York. He cut a dash in his tuxedo, sipping champagne and enjoying the company of some of the wealthiest people on the planet. A table at the exclusive do cost $10,000 - small change to those who attended. So what were James Casbolt's credentials for being at such an event? No one at that event four years ago could have imagined the kind of man James Casbolt really was, still less the extraordinary and disturbing chain of events that would unfold shortly after the soiree. Those events reached their denouement this week when Casbolt appeared in the dock in his native Cornwall.

Matthew Rader (pictured inset) was alone in the kitchen at his mother's apartment in Richmond, Kentucky when he found the cinnamon powder container on the spice rack, ate some and began chocking before he collapsed. When his mother, Brianna, found him, he was in a seizure-like state and was transported to Baptist Health Medical Center, where an hour and a half later he was pronounced dead. Brianna Rader wants to share her son's story so that others will be aware of the hazards of ingesting large amounts of the spice, keeping it out of reach of children, and will serve as a warning for those participating in the Cinnamon Challenge (Brianna Rader pictured with her son, Matthew).

Despite being run over by the front and rear wheels of the SUV, the stuntman leaped to his feet and ran to the side of the track, in Easley, South Carolina, before being taken to hospital by ambulance. He did not sustain any serious injuries and reportedly returned to the track afterwards and told the crowd he would attempt the stunt again.

She will face the challenges of riding a bike to school or not being able to climb the monkey bars during playtime. But little Australian toddler Ella Peggie from Queensland (pictured left and right), who was born without her left arm, will get an extraordinary opportunity to share a life-changing bond with her new beloved pet - a three-legged puppy. When her mother, Brooke Hodgson (far right), saw the one-year-old Staffy Boston Terrier Cross named Snowy, she knew instantly the hound pound would be the perfect companion for her one-year-old daughter.

Stargazers gathered at the legendary Glastonbury Tor in Somerset to watch the rare astronomical phenomenon, when a full moon occurs twice within one calendar month. From arty shots of statues seemingly supporting the moon, to images of iconic landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, photographers have captured the 'blue moon' on camera across the UK and US. However a blue moon doesn't mean the Earth's eclipse changes colour- it retains its usually silvery grey, resembling a normal moon. Above, a picture of a fair in Kansas, US.

Angela Merkel, who has been at the centre of negotiations around the Greek financial crisis, was spotted enjoying a break with her husband Joachim Sauer in in the South Tirol, on Saturday. The couple are known to be keen hikers, and regularly take a summer holiday in the region.
