Front pages - best/worst

Just for a bit of fun, I just wanted to ask you this. What is the best newspaper front page you have ever seen? And which is the worst, for any reason? It can be from any newspaper in the country.

Answering my own questions first. The best one I've ever seen was probably on the Daily Mirror on September 12th, 2001. Their front page caption was "War on the world" which seemed to sum up the terrorists intentions perfectly.

As for the worst ever, there's quite a few contenders from the Daily Express and the Daily Mail. The Express's "Ban Hoodies off the streets" one was awful, but the worst in tabloid history was when David Beckham broke his foot. The Sun published a huge picture of his ugly right foot on the front page, urging readers to touch it. :yuck:

Over to you before I throw up...
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Any Daily Star front page is worth a look for a laugh!

    The Daily Express one last year in which they managed to converge Princess Diana, asylum seekers and people on benefits into one headline was the stuff of legend.

    Aladdin, I remember it well...it touched my heart so dearly I had to save it.

    I love their Christmas lights outrage at the top, too.

    That's the one! I'd forgotten about the indespensable "Christmas banned" battlecry of the tabloids.

    There is not much more you could ask of a front page :D

    Surely the best headline is still "Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious!"

    'Up Yours Delores' manages to be both the best and worst

    I know what you mean, it was pretty harsh though seeing the timeline of the terrorists actions.

    I wish there was one. I know of Daily Mail Watch, which allows us to watch what the Mail and Express say, but as for others, I don't have a link, or any sites I know of. :(
