The group of men, had been posing for selfies (inset) with the sex doll at the Ground Zero memorial in Lower Manhattan. They were confronted by a policeman (left) and when asked what they were doing, a man believed to be the groom replied 'it's just a bachelor party' before answering other questions with 'no comment'. They were eventually asked to leave. The incident came just two days before the 15th anniversary of the deadly terror attacks which brought down the Twin Towers. One person who claimed to know the party said three of the men work together at a bank in New York. Rosanne Hughes, 61, from the New Jersey 9/11 Memorial Foundation said she was appalled to hear about the stag party celebrating on Ground Zero. She lost her husband Thomas F. Hughes Jr, 46, in the terror attack, and described the group's actions as 'disgusting'.

Record-breaker Amelia Earhart (pictured left), who vanished in 1937 while attempting a round-the-world voyage, may have died a castaway on a remote Pacific island, an expert said. Earhart, who in 1932 became the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean solo, disappeared while trying to find Howland Island, 1,700 nautical miles southwest of Honolulu in her Lockheed Electra (top-right, with Earhart). But Ric Gillespie of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery says that Earhart didn't crash into the water as some assume, but instead crash-landed on Gardner Island (bottom-right) - and ultimately died there.

Mo Farah watched in near-silence as his wife launched a foul-mouthed tirade against an airline worker because the family were told to wait alongside economy passengers, a shocked eyewitness has revealed. The Olympic hero's partner Tania was said to have been furious when the couple and their daughter Rihanna were told they had missed first-class boarding as they made their way back from Rio. Asked to wait until all passengers from the gate had boarded before they could make their way on to the plane, Mrs Farah, 30, began swearing at the attendant, it is alleged. Waiting flyers heard the wife of the four-time gold medal winner call the woman, 'f****** pathetic', tell her she led a 'sad little life' and say she was being 'disrespectful' to the family, it is said.

Grammar school entrance exams are broken down into four key subjects: English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. The pass mark is adjusted so the number of children who pass matches the number of places available (which means competition is fierce), however you should aim for about 90 per cent. Pictured are a selection of non-verbal reasoning tests. Clockwise from top left: which of the five squares on the right should go into the empty square?; which figure in each row is most unlike the others?; find which of the figures on the right is most like the two figures on the left; which of the five squares on the right should go in the missing space?; which code describes the shape?

Footballers and celebrities are well-known for making a statement through their love of 'wrapping' their luxury cars. But many believe the owner of this velvet-wrapped Porsche Panamera (pictured main and inset), seen on a central London street, has taken garish design to new levels. The soft-looking black Porsche belongs to a mystery owner living in the capital, and has undergone the same furry transformation made popular by stars including Khloe Kardashian. The process involves coating the car with special adhesives and durable textile fibers to withstand severe weather condition. The material will last roughly three years and, if the mystery owner has a change of heart, the wrap can be removed by professionals restoring the car to a just off the production line state.

Officers have released an urgent appeal to help find Arthur Heeler-Frood, 15, a pupil at one of the country's top state schools in east Devon. The teenager was last seen at 7.30am on Tuesday, when he set off on his bike from his home, seven miles from Colyton Grammar School. His sister Hester wrote on Facebook today that Arthur had run away, and may have changed his appearance. His bike was later found, and his parents subsequently received a letter from Arthur stating his intention. Officers are becoming increasingly worried about him, and say his disappearance is out of character.

Has sunbathing ever been quite such a hot political issue? French politicians - and British ones, too - have spent all summer arguing over a woman's right to wear a 'burkini' on the beach, writes ROBERT HARDMAN
Here in Germany, in Chancellor Angela Merkel's own backyard, there has been a pretty toxic debate over a woman's right to wear nothing at all. 'People are angry. It's always been in our culture to sunbathe naked. Now our naturist beaches have to have signs which say "No Photography" in Arabic because these so-called refugees are filming them,' says Jens Schneider, a local candidate and activist for Alternative Fur Deutschland - Alternative For Germany - in Mrs Merkel's home state.

It was a night of sheer delight for star-studded Harper's Bazaar party in New York on Friday. Sofia Richie (left), Kim Kardashian (right) and Hailey Baldwin (centre) were among the celebrities who dared to bare in eye-catching racy lacy creations that ensured they'd turn heads at the glitzy affair.  They joined the likes of model Toni Garnn (first from right) who left little to the imagination as she went braless in a sheer floor length gown, whilst Kylie Jenner (first from left) appeared to take some inspiration from her elder sister Kim in an equally risque baby pink dress.

A 24-year-old man from Glasgow was arrested by U.S. officers for interfering with a flight crew after a disturbance on a Florida-bound British Airways flight that departed London Gatwick last night. Eyewitnesses claim the man began to wander around the Boeing 777 before asking cabin crew if he could get off the plane. Air stewards had to keep him seated and the pilot even went down to speak to him, before deciding to divert the BA2039 flight to Boston, Massachusetts. When the plane landed, the man was arrested and he will be summonsed to appear in court in due course.

Teen Chris Atherton from Hartlepool drowned after he was pulled underwater by strong currents while swimming at a beauty spot in Upper Teesdale, an inquest heard. Detective Inspector Andy Crowe told the hearing on Friday, at Crook Civic Centre, County Durham, that the deceased's brothers tried in vain to save the boy on June 14. Curtis was pulled from the water a few hours after disappearing by medics who performed CPR. After being airlifted to James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, he was pronounced dead.

Powerlifter Ali Jawad (top right) claimed silver. And sprinter Georgina Hermitage (bottom right) set a new world record to claim gold.

Last week, popular, attractive blonde Shona Graham (pictured with her husband Andrew) was struck off for 'repeatedly engaging in sexual activity' with a 17-year-old pupil. She had claimed she was 'out of it', but this was contradicted by CCTV from the night of the school prom.

Handsome, humorous Harry, who turns 32 next week, is reportedly house-hunting in Norfolk - albeit with assistance. According to one insider, he's been searching for about a year for somewhere 'secluded, far apart from other properties and the road, on its own land, out of the reach of paparazzi, and with room for its own helipad, in the high-end price bracket'. One place said to have caught his eye was Water Hall (top right). Another is Manor House, Holme-next-the-Sea (top left). He may also have looked at The Grove in Holt: A castellated, 14-bedroom Regency home (below left). And finally The Old Rectory in Sculthorpe: Another Grade II-listed home (below right).

The bizarre scene was captured on a car dashcam on Thursday night in Maida Vale, an affluent district in north-west London. For reasons unclear, a couple appear to be confronted by the shirtless thug as a bus crosses between the trio and the camera. The man in the couple, wearing a blue jacket, is then seen brawling with his shirtless 'attacker' (left). After the fight spills into the middle of the road the victim knocks his rival to the floor and kicks his downed opponent (centre right). A driver close by then gets out of his car and runs over to break up the fight (right). A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said officers spoke to those involved but that neither wanted to file a complaint.

His assassination caused the regime not only to unleash horrific reprisals that would see the slaughter of 1,700 men, women, and children, but also to increase the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews to the death camps. The mission to kill him is documented in new blockbuster Anthropoid.

The display took place in Crimea as Russia showcased its ground, marine and air forces in the biggest exercises held on the strategic peninsula since its 2014 annexation from Ukraine. The drills took place at the Opuk training range on the Black Sea coast and stimulated an attempted invasion by a major force. The crowning moment of the display was a series of thermobaric bomb explosions, which propelled halo-shaped pressure waves upwards into the sky.(top) Military hardware on display included Mil Mi-35 attack helicopters, which strafed mock targets on the ground,(bottom left) and a T-90 tank that fired rounds on the range.(bottom right)

Wayne Davies (inset left), 41, burst into the Costcutter store in Wombourne, Staffordshire, at 10pm on September 20 last year. Terrifying CCTV footage captured Davies attacking a member of staff with a Stanley knife. The thug, from Birmingham, admitted robbery and was jailed for eight years at Stafford Crown Court on Friday. His accomplice Jason Hateley (inset right), 38, from Tipton, denied the same offence but was found guilty by a jury and jailed for six years. The 21-year-old victim had to be rushed to Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley, where he was treated for deep cuts to his face and head.

A man on a motorcycle films the daring rider along what is believed to be a road in Italy. Getting a little too much into her showboating the woman heads off track and falls off her bike. Instead of stopping and making himself the saviour of the fallen woman, the rider appears to simply drive off. The video was posted to video sharing site LiveLeak yesterday where it quickly went viral.

The granddaughter of Aristotle Onassis had been married to Alvaro de Miranda Neto, known as 'Doda,' for over a decade. Doda was found in bed with a blonde at the couple's $2m home.

This feline has taken relaxation to the next level as it lounged around on a Roomba while the automated vacuum cleaned the floors of its home. The machine-turned-cat car made the perfect ride for the animal who seemed to really enjoy its effortless ride around the house. In video capturing the hilarious ordeal, the cat is seen snuggled inside a plastic box fitted with a blanket and cushion, and adorned with a sticker that read 'cat in a car.' At one point, the cat lets out a big yawn, seemingly tired from all the hard work. It is not clear where the video was filmed, which was uploaded to YouTube where it has garnered nearly 19,000 views.

Matthew Pietrzyk, 11, came face to face with selfless donor Edward Batch on Friday after both underwent successful surgery (pictured top right and bottom right). The 39-year-old ended Matthew's global search for a compatible donor when he sent a Facebook message informing the boy's family that he had 'a spare one' and lived 15 miles away. Having finally met, brave Matthew thanked his hero (pictured together, left), telling him how he can now do things such as eat chocolate pudding and 'use the loo for a wee now'. Doctors had warned that the youngster would be unlikely to survive childhood without a transplant - but said the chance of finding a match was just one in 650,000. His entire family were tested, but none was a close enough tissue match, so his parents Nicola and Craig took to the internet to widen the search in 2013 with 'adverts' on Facebook.

Elephants are revered as sacred god-like animals in India, and this certainly proved true as two of the animals were colourfully mourned by a community (pictured). They both perished near the Kiranchandra Tea Garden, near Siliguli, after becoming trapped in electrical wiring. A calf had initially got stuck in the live wires before the mother came to rescue her calf and also died

Adon Samoilenko (pictured inset) got too close for comfort with a great white shark after it took a bite out of his motor as he fished off the coast of South Australia. He said the shark had been lurking around their boat all day, scaring off their would-be catches. The veteran fisherman and his fellow angler decided to cut their losses and call it a day when the predator (main) descended back to the depths. He said it was his first brush with a great white in nearly 20 years.

Holiday makers can enjoy a visit the South Pole, via a seven hour flight, and see a colony of emperor penguins which is only accessible by way of another flight, all included in the price.

Knox was pictured at the airport with boyfriend Christopher Robinson for the Toronto Film Festival ahead of the premiere of the film titled Amanda Knox on Friday. The documentary will explore the murder trial of Meredith Kercher, who was found half-naked with her throat slit at the house she shared with Knox in Perugia in November 2007.

Meier reported to work at Putnam City High School even though her babysitter canceled, her husband was out of town for the weekend, and she is 35 weeks pregnant. 'I have had so many people reach out to me, telling me how inspiring they find the photo for a variety of reasons,' Meier said. 'I have connected with so many strong, interesting people who have shared their stories, their struggles, and their victories. It's pretty awesome.'

Rona Barrett, who turns 80 on October 8, spent almost four decades at the top of the gossip world in Hollywood. The former Good Morning America contributor was known for intimate interviews: she once kissed the hand of heartthrob Rock Hudson (below left) and chatted with Cher on a bed. She hung out with Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner (above left) and David Bowie (below right). But she was once mailed a live tarantula by Ryan O'Neal (with Ryan above right before their falling out) and was dubbed 'Rona Rat' by the Frank Sinatra. At her peak, Barrett lived in a stunning 4,500-square-foot, villa in Beverly Hills, and drove a Rolls Royce with 'Ms Rona' on her license plate. But in 1991, Barrett bid adieu to Hollywood and moved to the peaceful Santa Ynez Valley in California. Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show her as elegant as ever as she champions causes  aimed to help low-income seniors.

Betty McCall (right), from Pitts, Georgia, has turned the cupboard under her stairs into a tiny bedroom for her four-year-old Chihuahua, Poncho.
