Millionaire Nick Varney, pictured left, CEO of the park's £4 billion parent company Merlin Entertainments, visited Vicky Balch, 20, at her home in Preston, Lancashire, earlier this month. 'They said they are not making as much money as they used to,' said Vicky, pictured right. 'I feel upset and insulted.' Vicky was one of the four seriously injured young people on the ride when their carriage slammed into an empty test vehicle at up to 50mph in June.

More than 80,000 passionate fans have crammed into Twickenham for tonight's crucial match, which both nations ear-marked as soon as the draw was made two years earlier as a must-win - and not just to aid qualification. Princes William and Harry (left) were seen standing shoulder to shoulder - but couldn't be further apart in who they were backing. Harry was in England white, while the Duke of Cambridge - joined by Kate (top right) - donned Welsh red. Rugby Wags Camilla Kerslake and Phoebe Hooke were spotted in the sell-out crowd, all of whom mingled in the Fan Zone ahead of kick-off. England took first blood (bottom right) and have gone in leading 16-9 at half-time.

Born with most of his brain and skull missing, baby Jaxon Emmett Buell was not expected to live. In fact his parents (pictured together, left) had been told to abort him when doctors discovered his condition. With the help of their Christian faith - they welcomed baby Jaxon into the world. The miracle baby has just celebrated his first birthday.

In this touching tribute JOAN COLLINS recalls the moment her younger sister Jackie, who died on September 19, revealed she had been fighting a sustained battle with breast cancer. Describing Jackie as 'omniscient' and 'extremely knowledgeable', Joan, pictured (left) with Jackie in 1977 and (right) at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2009, says her sister had masses of people who loved and adored her but added that the writer only shared her innermost thoughts with close family. She adds that she will continue to celebrate life, as Jackie did, and states: 'I feel her spirit, I hear her wonderful laugh and I see her all the time in the hundreds of photos of her sprinkled around my home. She wasn't just a star - to me she was an entire galaxy.'

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was catapulted from relative obscurity to the top of the terrorist heap. The former petty criminal, pictured (left) in a propaganda video and (right) holding a weapon moments before a US contractor was murdered, had been radicalised in his native Jordan and fought in Afghanistan, where he'd met Osama Bin Laden. But when he was linked to the murder of an American diplomat in Jordan's capital Amman in October 2002, the Bush Administration began taking a keen interest in him. If Baghdad had played even a minor role in supporting Al Qaeda's 9/11 attacks, the US's case for an invasion of Iraq would be clear-cut. Could Zarqawi, pictured after being killed in 2006 (inset), be the link?

Michael Ashcroft's account is based on a 2011 Russian press report (left) that he claimed described the agent as a 'slim girl' called Valery. In fact, the report state the alleged agent was a 'slim' man called Valery. However, Ashcroft (inset) did not repeat another extraordinary claim that the Russian report went on to make about 'homosexual' Cameron. Ashcroft used the Russian article to bolster a central claim in his book - Cameron's alleged drug habit.

The Office creator, right, bought the Hampstead home for £3.4million in 2006, then added a gym, top left, as well as a swimming pool, bottom left, sauna and golf simulator, causing noise and disturbance for his neighbours. Now the house, centre, is up for sale for £7.75million and photos on an estate agent's website show an impressive collection of guitars in Gervais's living room - a reminder of his brief pop career in 1980s duo Seona Dancing.

The pope stopped his motorcade in Philadelphia to kiss and bless a 10-year-old disabled boy. Michael Keating, who has cerebral palsy, was waiting on the tarmac with his mother and father, his able-bodied twin brother Chris, and his 13-year-old sister Katie to watch the pontiff arrive. To their astonishment, as the papal Fiat drove past, Francis stopped the car, got out, and walked over to embrace Michael.

In the aftermath of Sharon's, inset, death, the family's grief was exacerbated by a huge rift sparked by her funeral. It caused Paul and Sharon's parents to stop speaking to one another. Then, when Paul later began a relationship with the nanny, Michelle Sherbourne, left, who had been brought in to look after the children, it led to further disapproval from some of Sharon's friends.The unexpected romance has brought comfort to Paul, who has seen his fair share of loss and hardship. Now, as the tenth anniversary of Sharon's death approaches, he is finally able to describe himself as happy, after years of believing he would never feel the emotion again.

Rachel Salcie's mother noticed a lump on her daughter's hip when she was six-weeks old. But despite tests, the tragic toddler from Buckley, Wales, was only recently diagnosed with cancer, which has now spread from her hip to her lungs. The youngster underwent 15 grueling rounds of chemotherapy but her family have now been given the devastating news there is nothing more doctors can do. Her parents made the agonising decision to bring her home to spend her final days surrounded by family.

Plumes of smoke could be seen rolling from the Baitul Futuh mosque in Mordern, south London, which is said to be the largest mosque in western Europe. The cause of the blaze remains unknown. Friefighters expected the burning to continue for hours yet because of its huge size. One man was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.

A British nuclear submarine has been caught on camera after it apparently became stricken with technical problems while on a top-secret mission in one of the most dangerous parts of the world. Satellite images show the Royal Navy vessel undergoing repairs at a port less than 100 nautical miles from Iran. The nuclear-powered submarine is pictured docked at Fujairah, one of the United Arab Emirates, in the politically sensitive seaway of the Gulf of Oman. Blue cabling on the quayside apparently provides electrical power to the vessel while it is being repaired.

The conversation between the unknown woman and her shockingly cheap date, which appears to have taken place in London earlier this year, has been shared on social media. After her her very polite decline to meet up for a second time, her date became the definition of 'sour grapes'. Not only did the spurned Romeo/Julia have the cheek to ask her to pay back the money for the drink bought for her - it only cost £4.50.

The iconic chimney stacks at the Cockenzie Power Station in East Lothian were demolished simultaneously in a dramatic blast earlier today. A plume of thick smoke rose into the sky as the towers fell in the controlled explosion. The landmark had dominated the city's skyline for nearly 50 years.

The wait is over. Three years since Skyfall broke the billion dollar barrier at the box office, James Bond is back - in the most spectacular and costly 007 film ever made. And Event was there for every eye-popping smash, bang and wallop - in Mexico, Austria and Italy.

Lea Seydoux plays Dr Madeleine Swann. Kidnapped by Spectre, the psychologist transforms herself into a rebellious girl who doesn't need to be saved by the secret spy, plus Naomie Harris as Miss Moneypenny and Stephanie Sigm as enigmatic Mexican beauty Estrella.

An entrepreneur has created a company offering what many would consider their dream job - an office of your own choosing, working the hours you wish to work. Swiss start-up founder Christian Mischler runs his company from his laptop, spending an estimated 250 nights of the year on the road (pictured left, right and inset). Even more remarkably, his 100 staff are encouraged to do the same. They are allowed to work whenever and wherever it suits them - be it on a beach, a hotel, or in bed.

David Arquette has caused concern following a TV appearance in which he appeared to slur his words. The actor, 44, appeared on Friday night's episode of Ellen DeGeneres' chat show, but viewers were quick to point out on Twitter that it was an overall awkward display, and his words were almost incoherent. He was on the chat show along with actress Wanda Sykes, and got into the swing of things with the host as they played a game of Never Have I Ever.

A disturbing new TLC show reveals the men with roving eyes and the heartbroken spouses who have seen their lives destroyed by infidelity sites like Ashley Madison (inset, bottom) that make cheating so easy. Sex, Lies and Online Affairs, which airs on Tuesday, includes unapologetic mistress 48-year-old Karen Marley (main picture, on a date with a married man), a divorcee from North Yorkshire, and Tony Williams, 58, and Debbie Dowsett, 42 (inset top), from Essex, who have been together for the last 17 years but both openly sleep with other partners.

The Prince of Wales stood in solemn silence yesterday as he took part in a centenary memorial service in Dundee to honour the British troops who lost their lives at the ill-fated Battle of Loos. Among the 20,000 soldiers who died during the largest First World War battle on the Western Front, there was one brave soldier in particular whose heroic sacrifice the Royal Family will never forget. Fergus Bowes-Lyon (left), son of the 14th Earl of Strathmore, elder brother to the Queen Mother and the uncle Queen Elizabeth II never met, died 100 years ago today after leading his men into the face of the enemy. Yet for the best part of a century the Royals have not known his final resting place, or the full details of how he led an assault on the most heavily defended part of the German lines, had a leg blown off and was repeatedly hit by machine-gun bullets, before dying an hour later as his sergeant tried desperately to keep him alive until medical assistance arrived. Pictured (right): The Bowes-Lyon family in 1910. Lady Elizabeth, second from right, front row, was spoiled by brother Fergus, far left.

The heart-warming video, which is believed to have been filmed in America, shows the baby catching up on his sleep with his face down on the sofa. The attentive pet Labrador approaches, and after noticing that the baby does not have his blanket wrapped around him, sets about putting that right with his nose.

The demonstration was organised by the 269 Life campaign group who staged an 'open-air slaughterhouse' as part of the World Day for the Abolition of Meat, which has taken place in major cities around the world every year since 2009. Hundreds of demonstrators covered in red paint sprawled themselves across the Place du Palais Royal (right) to call for a legal ban on the production and consumption of meat. Disturbing images showed one man suspended from his feet (left) as two pretend-butchers stood next to him. The 269 Life group who staged the demonstration refer to the slaughter of animals as a 'holocaust' and claim 'veganism is is an essential step that any responsible and sensible person must take'.

Captured in a short video in an unknown location, the tiny creature emerges from the long grass and takes a few tentative steps forward before attempting to roar loudly (main). However the noise it makes is nothing more than a tiny squeak, and adding to the humour, it appears to give the cub a fright (inset).

Bollywood screen legend Anil Kapoor, right, has launched an Indian version of 24 where he plays the Indian version of Jack Bauer. The original hero was played by Kiefer Sutherland, inset, for eight series. Kapoor, left, starred in the final US series playing the President of a fictional Islamic Republic who is threatened by terrorists. The Indian version features all the same techniques and drama of the original series, but all of the characters and storylines have been changed to work with a local audience.
