The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were back in their formal wear as they visited a primary school in north London today (right), just 24 hours after donning their trainers for a session with marathon runners (inset). Kate looked elegant in a red skirt suit by Italian designer Luisa Spagnoli, a favourite ensemble which she has worn on a number on official engagements. The royals spent time meeting children outside Mitchell Brook Primary School, in Neasden (left) before attending an event to mark Children's Mental Health Week.

Lady Gaga tore the roof off of NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday with one of the greatest Super Bowl halftime shows in history. And the platinum blonde pop star kicked off things off in a very big, and very patriotic way with a rendition of her 'America The Beautiful' sung from atop the stadium while hundreds of drones could be seen flying around in the night sky behind her.

Tom Brady led his New England Patriots to a record-breaking rally en route to his fifth championship. And Gisele Bundchen celebrated like she was the one behind the center. The 36-year-old model filmed herself cheering as her 39-year-old man won at Super Bowl LI on Sunday. She could be seen yelling with her hands in the air while seated in one of the VIP boxes at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Michaella McCollum Connolly, from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, was jailed in Peru in 2013 for attempting to smuggle £1.5 million of cocaine out of the country with fellow drug mule Melissa Reid (pictured inset after their arrest). Now back at home, she posted a message on her Facebook (right) thanking 'everyone who has supported myself and family through these past few years.'

Hilarious photos compiled by Bored Panda show the ingenious pranks people have played on their partners. Clockwise from top left: Someone took a request for a 'toasty shower' too literally; Bruce Willis hiding in the air vent; a touching selfie in the delivery room; a sandwich 'cut in half'; Worf from Star Trek lurking in the shower, and an unwanted bumper slogan.

Rick Parfitt (pictured right in 1979 and inset in 2016) and his first wife Marietta's daughter Heidi (pictured left) died aged two, after falling into the swimming pool at their home in Hambledon, Surrey. Marietta (pictured right with Rick) says her then husband disappeared later that day and didn't come home that night. She also describes how Rick was on tour in Germany when she went into labour with Heidi, their second child. She says she phoned him in his hotel room to tell him, when a girl answered, saying: 'Rick's in the shower.'

Four Perth women were abducted, raped and murdered by Australia's worst serial killer couple in the 1980s. Catherine and David Birnie (top and bottom right) were only caught when their fifth victim, Kate Moir (main left and inset), escaped from the sadistic killers' home in south-west Perth in 1986. Ms Moir was just 17 when she was kidnapped, shackled to a bed in chains and repeatedly raped after the 'very drunk' teenager accepted a lift home from the killers after a night out with friends. Ms Moir, now 47, has revealed the harrowing details of her ordeal in her first television interview.

Families in Salford, Greater Manchester, lived in rooms less than 10m sq each. A housing officer noticed a fence marked '8A' next to the Little Hulton house, which was raided before Christmas. The 'bedsits' were built without planning permission and advertised online. The home owner has been forced to demolish the structure and town hall bosses are helping families find proper homes.

British Transport Police has released video of Elliot Nash ranting at a female train worker before kicking and lashing out at her colleague on a London Midland service. The 32-year-old, from Northfield, Birmingham, told three members of rail staff to 'f*** off' and threatened to knock them out while travelling between Bournville and Northfield in November. Shocking footage from one ticket officer's body-worn camera shows Nash repeatedly swearing and taking a running kick at a staff member in the train's aisle. Police identified Nash from the footage, arrested him at his home just two hours later.

British brand JoJo Maman Bebe is so popular that one Facebook page on which fans sell its items after their children have outgrown them has more than 20,000 members. So imagine their surprise when they found themselves berated on that very page - in a late-night posting by the company's founder Laura Tenison.(right) Pictured: Miss Tenison's Facebook post;(left) and an example of one of the adverts put on the page.(top)

To mark her latest milestone, a poignant photograph of her wearing a suite of sapphire jewellery given to her by her father King George VI as a wedding gift in 1947 has been issued. Sapphire is the 65th anniversary gemstone and the King's gift to his eldest daughter, then Princess Elizabeth, featured a glittering necklace, dating from 1850 and made of 16 large oblong sapphires surrounded by diamonds, with a pair of matching sapphire and diamond drop earrings. The Queen has added a sapphire and diamond tiara - made from a necklace that originally belonged to Princess Louise of Belgium - and a bracelet in 1963 to the collection to compliment the original sentimental pieces. She had the necklace shortened and the largest stone made into a pendant.

Even as my suspicions have been growing about the indoctrination of our young children by so-called liberals, so has the number of stories arriving in my inbox. Worried parents whose little kids come home repeating opinions they have been taught in school, rather than lessons, wondering how they should talk to the school about it without getting their kids into trouble. Children being taught that Trump is a bad man and a racist. That Brexit is wrong. That the correct answer is Clinton. I can accept that many teachers believe Trump to be an odious individual and/or that Trump equals hate. And I have heard the argument that it is right that teachers should teach children to be inclusive and to stand against hate, and by this logic teachers have a duty to speak out against Trump. But this is a sleight of hand. Deductive reasoning that has lost its way.

Sean Spicer said he thought Saturday Night Live had 'crossed over to mean' on Sunday after Melissa McCarthy gave a blustering, gum-chewing impersonation of him the night before. The White House Press Secretary said the funny woman needed 'to slow down on the gum chewing' and McCarthy's exaggerated performance could be 'dialed back'. Spicer admitted he thought the program was once funny but it had turned mean, especially in Alec Baldwin's portrayal of Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump welcomed guests for his lavish Super Bowl party at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sunday - just hours after attacking the federal judge who listed his executive border banning entry to nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries. Trump and his wife, Melania, were welcomed by a marching band and cheerleaders (left) just before the viewing party. The president and first lady then took their seats inside the hall along with dozens of other guests (right). Hours earlier, he assailed a judge who lifted his travel ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries (inset).

Personal shopping is big business these days. The concept travelled here from America, where there are now an estimated 28,000 personal shoppers propping up a £600 million industry. On our own High Streets, everyone from Reiss to John Lewis and Debenhams employs professionals to scour their rails so you don't have to. (On the left: Hobbs and Studioeight. Clockwise from top: Personal shoppers Tracey, Sarah Rhona and Simone)

He bravely decided to compete on The Jump on Sunday evening, despite suffering a leg injury just one day before. But Sir Bradley Wiggins' determination was mildly overshadowed by his cheeky slip of the tongue - as he said 'p***' at half past seven before the watershed mark - forcing host Davina McCall to apologise. And he wasn't the only one swearing, as Jade Jones jokingly told her competitor, reality star Jade Jones: 'You're going down b**tch'.  

Zoe Ball looked the picture of happiness as she helped her new boyfriend move into his new flat.  The It Takes Two presenter, 46, is said to have recently started dating Billy Yates, 40, an Antiques Roadshow cameraman. The new romance comes after she split from husband Norman Cook - better known as Fatboy Slim - in September. 

Society figure Jock Lewes (left), a former captain of Oxford University Boat Club, was one of two officers who became national heroes when they created the SAS, a unit that went on to help secure an Allied victory in the Second World War. But, just three years before its creation, Lewes had a brief stint as a Nazi sympathiser, telling his parents that Germany was 'far from being a totalitarian state' and even attending a ball alongside Adolf Hitler (inset) and Joseph Goebbels. Lewes also fell for Senta Adriano (right) - a society girl who was a member of the Nazi party - and even became engaged to her. But Lewes became disillusioned with the Third Reich when the Nazis launched a wave of violence against Jewish businesses in what has become known as Kristallnacht, or Night of the Broken glass. The revelations feature in a BBC documentary airing tonight which is based on Ben Macintyre's book, Rogue Heroes.

Twins Rose and Charlotte Turpie, 27, from Manchester (left) discovered they were carrying the BRCA2 breast cancer gene and both opted to have double mastectomies (right). They had already lost their mother (bottom right) to breast cancer and didn't want their father Paul to see them suffer (bottom right). But they suffered more heartbreak when Paul passed away from cancer months after their surgeries.

Whitney Jones, a 29-year-old from British Colombia, Canada, battled anorexia during much of her teens after losing her father in a tragic accident. The mother-of-three is now in recovery and has opened up about how she once survived on just vitamin tablets for 30 days in a bid to keep her weight low. (Pictured from left: Whitney Jones as a teen at the height of her eating disorder, now, as a 29-year-old. Inset: as a teenager before the anorexia took hold)

A minute-long clip (pictured) shows two rowdy groups facing off inside the fast food chain's Grand Central restaurant in Stockport around 5.30am on Sunday. Fighting quickly spread into the kitchen. Spectators can be heard laughing as the fighting breaks out. One man grabs another in a headlock and tries to smash him into a kitchen surface.

Brilliant city businesswoman Helena Morrissey, 50, from London, has revealed the secret to her success as a mother-of-nine and high flying exec. Her househusband, Richard, 53. The former financial journalist agreed to halt his career and look after their children in the run up to the birth of their fourth child. The couple agreed that Richard would become a stay-at-home husband, raising the children and maintaining their home. Richard became a Buddist monk and dedicated himself to raising the children allowing Morrissey to soar through the corporate ranks.

There was no mistaking the symbolism when Mariah Carey was pictured burning a wedding dress in the music video for her new single I Don't. But now it has emerged that the white tulle she torched was the genuine $250,000 Valentino gown she had planned to wear to her cancelled Bora Bora nuptials. The singer, whose nasty break-up from James Packer inspired the song, was seen being fitted for the gown in her reality show Mariah's World. Ever the perfectionist, Mariah went back to the designer again and again in a bid to get the plunging fairytale gown just right. But all that hard work went up in smoke when, in a pointed dig at the Australian billionaire, she sent the gown up in flames for an explosive scene.

In what's thought to be the first conviction of its kind, a Canadian court recently found two parents guilty of taking their 13-year-old daughter across the border for a sexual purpose when she was forced to marry Warren Jeffs, as their Canadian sect leader alone has 145 children with 27 wives. British Colombia Supreme Court Justice Paul Pearlman ruled Friday that former husband and wife Brandon J. Blackmore and Emily Ruth Gail Blackmore are guilty of taking their daughter across the border in 2004 to marry the now imprisoned Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) leader Warren Jeffs. In addition, the charges against 59-year-old Winston Blackmore (left) came after Special Prosecutor Peter Wilson approved three 'unlawful removal of a child from Canada...' charges against the former couple and Oler. Winston Blackmore is married to 27 women with whom he has at least 145 children in the polygamist community of Bountiful, British Columbia. Top and bottom right children play inside the community at one of two schools.

MailOnline Travel has rounded up some of the best-timed and most amusing photobombs ever to have taken place from around the world, starring humans and animals alike. Pictured, clockwise from top left, A cyclist suffering a close encounter with a lamp post; a camel with ulterior motives; a man imitating a beachgoer's moves; a swan crashing a photo of a temple; a man described as being 'never too old to photobomb a bikini shot'; and the priceless expression of someone in the background of a seaside shoot.

Lindsey Paradiso, from Fredericksburg, Virginia, took to Facebook to share her emotional story of having an abortion at 23 weeks. At 18 weeks doctors noticed baby Omara had an aggressive tumour growing around her neck. Lindsey continued on with her pregnancy in hopes it would be operable later. Weeks later, the baby's tumor had doubled in size and began to spread even further into her chest and Omara had a 99 per cent chance of dying. The couple decided to go through with an abortion through lethal injection.

This beautiful 19th century converted church (pictured) in the scenic town of Malvern, Worcestershire comes complete with five floors, three bedrooms and a huge stained-glass window. But house-hunters may be most divinely inspired by the price. At £600,000, it costs less than an average terraced house in London.

Daniel Thatcher, 40, and Shantelle Ma, 31, (left) from Kent have put their wedding on hold to find a dream home, but the bride-to-be won't live too far away from her very demanding sisters (bottom right). They couple appear on the Watch show Honey I Bought the House (top right) and will get £15,000 towards their deposit if Dan can find them a property all by himself in just three weeks. But he has a list of demands to meet from Shantelle and her siblings who call themselves the Kardashians of Kent.

A stricken BMW driver had to be winched to safety after he followed his sat nav into a river. Emergency services raced to the scene in Carmarthen, South Wales, to rescue the motorist when his car became almost completely submerged. Fortunately the man escaped with his life - but police are now warning drivers of the dangers of using sat navs.

Fiona the six-week-premature baby hippo took her first steps Sunday morning. Thousands of people have shared her photos and videos of the zookeepers nursing her to health. Yesterday the hippo seemed tuckered out in a precious photo of Fiona napping on a zookeeper's chest.
