And Paul Griffiths from Manchester proudly posted a picture of a Morrisons trolley in his living room (right) on Twitter, saying: '5p for a bag, quid for a trolley #NoBrainer #Needed6Bags.'

Sophie's daughter Louise was born prematurely in 2003, causing a condition called strabismus which left her with what the countess described as a 'profound' squint, inset. She has since had the problem corrected, main, because cosmetically it was awkward for her, Sophie said, and she can now see properly. Explaining Lady Louise's condition, the countess - wife of Edward, Earl of Wessex, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's youngest son - told the Sunday Express: 'Premature babies can often have squints because the eyes are the last thing in the baby package to really be finalised.'

The remaining blocks of what were once the tallest residential buildings in Europe when finished almost half a century ago were brought down at the same time in a controlled explosion in Glasgow. Onlookers had to stand about 1,000ft back from the blocks, while several residents worried about damage to their properties from the demolition were forced to leave the exclusion zone. Plans to take down five of the blocks as part of last summer's Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in the city were eventually shelved due to health and safety concerns.

Almost 30 years later, eerie new photographs of the city show its infrastructure and inhabitants' possessions are being slowly reclaimed by nature as they rot and decay (pictured).

According to Shanna Moakler, Rita Ora's new boyfriend, Travis Barker (pictured, left, with Ora), brings with him not just a wild appearance and history of substance abuse, but an addiction to infidelity which left her broken and humiliated. As the former Miss USA (inset) explains in an interview with The Mail on Sunday: 'Our marriage was plagued by his addictions to pills and other women.' Barker, a former drug addict who at 39 is 15 years Ora's senior, described his new girlfriend (right) in gushing terms as the pair enjoyed a night out in LA last week.

The 43-year-old mother-of-two's wardrobe of tailored sheath dresses, sky-scraping court shoes and eye-catching jewels is much more daring than the play-it-safe style of the former Kate Middleton. Some royal critics have, however, been quick to note that her style has raised a few eyebrows during her year on the throne. Indeed, as Royalista notes: 'Queen Letizia is quite conservative in her choice of clothing, but once in a while she raises a few eyebrows by wearing short dresses - way too short if you ask some royal followers.'

The newly released documents also say that the mother recalled her children telling her that they loved her during the alleged killings in the house she shared with boyfriend Christopher Swist (center).

Relatives of a Turkish Labour Party chief, who was killed in the attack, mourned over his coffin (top right) at a funeral in the city today.

Snuffling each other's noses and rolling around in the mud together, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that these two animals usually enjoy lives which are worlds apart. While one is commonly a household pet lovingly doted on by its owner, the other is known to wallow outdoors in weather of all extremities. However, despite their obvious differences, these two animals appear to have found some common ground - with Sheldon the ginger cat finding a playmate in Kunekune pig Sundae. The pair are often spotted playing together on remote farmland in the Netherlands or snuggling into each other when they get tired.

The magnificent bejewelled sceptre, which measures just 17 inches in length, was presented by King Henry V to the City of London following the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. It was given to the City 600 years ago as a thank you present by the former King, who wanted to acknowledge the capital's help and support in the battle against the French. Now, as the country marks the 600th anniversary of the battle on October 25, a 'rare opportunity' to witness the symbolic sceptre has arisen.
