A row over jurisdiction saw the plane grounded for nearly two hours after a Royal Gibraltar Police car drove onto the runway, physically blocking the RAF flight from leaving. A Ministry of Defence car in turn tried to block the police vehicle, according to reports. It is understood a member of the British military on board is suspected of a sex offence.

For the most part, people take selfies to share a fun moment with friends - or simply show off. Unfortunately for these snappers however, they've missed some extremely odd things going on in the background of the photos that ruin the vibe they were going for. BoredPanda have compiled a selfie gallery featuring these rogue additions - including pooping dogs and sex toys - and they're guaranteed to make you cringe...

Megan Dixon (left), 18, had been interviewed by assistant manager Shantel Wesson (right) for a part-time job at a new branch of Miller and Carter in Enderby, Leicestershire. But the A level student was shocked to receive a text message just moments after the interview, which said: 'It's a no' (inset). When the teenager responded to ask why, Shantel replied: 'Just not engaging. And answers we're "like" basic.' She then used the emoji which depicts someone laughing so hard that they're crying. Megan also claimed the assistant manager had behaved poorly during the interview, by not having a copy of the teen's CV to hand and drinking coffee throughout. A spokesman for Miller and Carter told the paper said they 'could not apologise enough' and that the texts were sent in error and intended for the manager.

It has emerged that Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's body was discovered at her luxury London apartment (inset bottom) by her cleaner. She was found dead yesterday aged 45 following a battle with a brain tumour - days after builders said they heard a 'loud bang' from her home. The revelation comes as a friend appeared on This Morning to claim she had relapsed 'into a dark place'. Ivan Massow (pictured right with Tara and inset on the show) said: 'She was facing a lot of problems. The recurring issue [was] that it was very hard for her to stay off drinking and things.'

The sanctimonious may tut tut tut, but Tara Palmer-Tomkinson (right), who was found dead yesterday at her home in London, was a secret - and braver - part of many of us, writes KATIE HOPKINS (inset). We grew up with her, watching her be brilliant in a bikini and snorkel (left), or all fur coat and tiny white knickers, wishing we could be half so brave. A girl who seemed to be like the rest of us, loving her family and friends, making spectacular cock-ups and being brilliantly batty like we want to imagine posh people always are. She even managed to make her godfather, Prince Charles, seem normal, a man just like the rest of us. How we would all love to be so free.

A video has captured the moment that two flight passengers claiming to be lawyers got into a vicious row over an arm rest. Footage taken by another flier shows the man and woman shouting at each other as the flight crew desperate tries to calm them down. Many of the other passengers on the plane, believed to be a Monarch Airways flight from the UK to Malaga in Spain, can he heard laughing as the pair's feud escalates. The video starts mid-way through the row, as an air steward tries to get the man to move seats. As the row escalates and voices get louder, other fliers can be heard shushing the pair. The woman then claims that she is a lawyer and 'knows' her rights, leading the other man to scream: 'I'm a lawyer too, you stupid woman.' At the end of the video, recorded on New Year's Eve, an air hostess asks if the pair are travelling together, causing the rest of the passengers to burst out in laughter and clapping.

The veteran left-winger bizarrely insisted the party was 'united' despite 52 MPs defying his orders to vote against the historic legislation last night. Struggling to control his temper, Mr Corbyn denied that the dramatic decision by shadow business secretary Clive Lewis to resign rather than vote in favour of triggering Article 50 was a 'disaster'. And he responded furiously when BBC Breakfast presenter Charlie Stayt asked whether he had told his inner circle a date when he will stand down as Labour leader. 'I am really surprised the BBC is reporting fake news,' he snapped.

Tamara Ecclestone has launched an impassioned rant at 'bitter people' who have tried to 'sexualised breastfeeding'. The heiress, 32, posted an artistic snap of her nursing her daughter Sophia - who turns three next month - on her Instagram page on Thursday afternoon while criticising those who reacted in a negative way to her choice. Posing in an elegant shoot for photographer Ivette Ivens, the socialite explained she wanted to speak out on the issue to stem the tide of 'hatred' she was experiencing on varying forms of social media.

Prepare to go cross-eyed over one photographer's mind-boggling optical illusion snap - as no one is sure how many zebras this image taken by South African Robert Holmwood actually contains. The retired mechanical engineer captured the gaggle of Burchell's zebra at the Kruger National Park in his native country. And the 64-year-old, who retired two years ago, said everyone who views the confusing image has a different opinion on just how many zebras there are in the frame.

Head-cam footage shows the moment a cyclist narrowly avoided crashing into a mother and two children outside a school in Manchester. Alan Fogg, 54, had to brake suddenly to avoid the family who appeared from in front of static traffic near their school gates. Led by their mother, Alan stopped so harshly he came tumbling off his bike and hit the ground. Alan said: 'I was picking my way through traffic going towards the school when the mother and her children came out of the traffic. I stopped as hard as I could because I was going to hit them and I stopped so quickly that I had the bike on its nose. I ended up falling on the floor but I was uninjured.'

Anton Pilipa trekked across two continents, walking mostly barefoot with just the clothes on his back, after he disappeared from his Vancouver home in 2012. His family spent years desperately searching for the former humanitarian worker, who suffers from suspected schizophrenia, and had almost given up hope when they got a call out of the blue. A Brazilian cop spotted Pilipa, who she initially mistook for a beggar, shuffling down a dirt track in bare feet, and dirty, unwashed Bermuda shorts and a vest. He had no passport, without without any form of identification.

Attractive women are uploading their best attempts at 'ugly selfies' on social media, showing off their very best goofy teeth, squashed lips and double chins in a bid to prove that looks can be deceiving. Female users take a 'normal' headshot of themselves and then follow it up with a deliberately 'ugly' version - and they certainly don't hold back in their efforts, as these pictures prove.

Kingston Road North Car Park sits beneath a luxury apartment block opposite Hyde Park in Knightsbridge. The mystery billionaire will house his collection of 80 supercars there. The anonymous investor has forked out £21 million for the asset, working out at around £150,000 per space, making it the largest parking-related transaction ever recorded in the UK.

Lee Dalgleish was on his way to work when he spotted the amorous couple (left) getting it on - despite the train being packed with workers. The graphic designer, 32, was travelling from Gillingham, Kent, to London Victoria at 8:45am when the woman mounted her boyfriend. Thankfully, she wrapped her coat around herself, sparing horrified commuters sight of any action. Mr Dalgleish said: 'I thought it was really bizarre for that time of the morning, it's not appropriate and I found it so surprising, it was quite amusing.'

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT The 30-year-old woman was dragged outside after the 500-strong mob broke down the doors to her cell. She was being held on suspicion of starting a fire which claimed the life of a toddler. A five-year-old child, named Marlon Buzaglo Campos, also suffered serious burns in the blaze she was alleged to have started.

A massive genome-wide study in the United States has revealed a 'historical portrait' of post-colonial population patterns across the country. In the study, researchers identified 'clusters' - or genetic communities - using data from more than 770,000 people born or currently living in the US. The study highlights the ancestral origins and migration patterns for specific groups to reveal the many different genetic communities Americans belong to. The map above shows the distribution of ancestral birth locations associated with these clusters.

The two islands (pictured main), which together are the size of roughly nine football pitches, have stunning views of Orkney and the North Sea. The 4.9-acre Inner Holm also comes with a six-bedroom bungalow, stone outhouses, a flagpole, and a little boat to ferry the owner between the islands and to the mainland (shown top left and inset). All this comes at a price of just £300,000 - less than half the price of an average London home. The Holms of Stromness archipelago lies just of the coast of Stromness, Orkney. Both the Inner and Outer Holms - which is 7.6 acres - can only be reached by foot at low tide, making them to perfect isolated getaway. The property - complete with a large living room with a brick fireplace (pictured bottom right) - is also largely self-sufficient, with electricity being generated by a 6kw wind turbine.

Hundreds of mourners lined the streets as 'murdered' teenager Leonne Weeks (inset bottom left) was carried through town in a pink coffin and horse-drawn glass carriage. The 16-year-old's body was found in sleepy Dinnington, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on January 16, with a suspect having already been charged with her murder. Shea Peter Heeley, 18, was remanded in custody after a brief appearance at Sheffield Magistrates' Court a week later.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Anna Nicole Smith's mother Virgie Arthur (at left with her daughter and granddaughter Dannielynn) spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com in a poignant interview on the tenth anniversary of the Playboy's model's death. Arthur recalled the wild antics of her 'beautiful, funny' child, who she calls by her birth name Vickie Lynn, and who she believes the world never really knew. Drugs, she said, are what turned Vickie into Anna. 'You could tell the difference between Anna Nicole and Vickie Lynn. Anna was very mean, I don't know how to explain her. On drugs, she was a terrible person to be around,' Arthur said. The grandmother broke down as she spoke of the devastating loss of Smith's son, Daniel (above and below right with Anna Nicole and her first husband), who also died of a drug overdose five months before his mother - and how she hopes to be closer to her granddaughter. Above right, Anna Nicole with millionaire octogenarian husband Howard Marshall.

Madonna has confirmed the adoption of twin sisters from Malawi with a picture on Instagram. Madonna's new twin daughters are 'very happy' and 'very excited' as they prepare to board a private jet to their new life in America, their government guardian has revealed. Malawian orphans Stella and Esther, four, pictured above, walked hand in hand with the 58-year-old star out of court yesterday after a judge yesterday approved her application to become their mother. Court appointed guardian Dominic Misomali told MailOnline: 'You could see the love she had for them in her face and she was already a mother to them. The girls are very happy and very excited about what is happening to them.' Madonna had been trying to adopt the girls for two years and made previous visits to the nation to visit them.

Erica Wall from Lompoc, California, is battling her enormous size (right) in TLC reality series My 600lb Life. Despite being a relatively slim child (inset and left) the 44-year-old had her stomach stapled when she only 16 years old. Five years after the procedure, she gained so much weight, her staple line burst. In the series, Erica purchases an aisle of three seats on a plane, so she can fly to Texas, to meet with a weight loss surgeon, despite being warned that she could develop fatal blood clots in her legs.

Welcome to Alert in Nunavut, Canada, on Ellesmere Island, where the average February temperature is -33.2C and the record low is -50C. These temperatures are cold enough to freeze unprotected corneas, skin and muscle, in minutes. But that's not all the population here - which can reach over 200 - has to contend with. There's the isolation, too. The nearest town to Alert is 340 miles away and you cannot reach it by car - only by air or sea. Or dogsled.

Convicted armed raider Jack Brooks, 24, posed for this bizarre image in his cell as he clutched a box of Sugar Puffs in front of a display of his large cereal collection. The picture was posted to Brooks' Facebook page last year while he was in prison for a bungled knifepoint raid on a shop in Burnley, Lancashire, which he had carried out while dressed in a zebra print onesie. Alongside the cereal haul is a packet of chocolate biscuits and four cartons of cranberry juice, and to his right there is a CD player and what appears to be a Playstation console.

Quebec's corporation of funeral directors says it is trying to put an end to the tasteless trend which sees photographs of dead bodies splashed on social media. There are 'strict rules' in place at parlors across the region to stop the spread of casket selfies but mourners must take it upon themselves to refrain, it says.
The tasteless trend of casket selfies has swept Instagram in Twitter recently. One man even applied a Face Swap filter to his selfie (inset).

Nurse Fran Suarez works in a hospital in Madrid, Spain. And while he is no doubt excellent at his job, it is his social media photos that have made him an internet sensation.

Away from the office, the nurse, who often poses topless (inset), appears to enjoy coffees and sightseeing with friends - many of whom are also strikingly good looking.

James Kingston, from Southampton, completed the stunt on a construction site in Al Barari, Dubai. After reaching the roof of the building, he films himself climbing up one of the towering cranes. He then makes his way across a narrow white pole without any safety equipment, shouting 'Nailed it!' after successfully making it to the other side.

A new exhibition is celebrating some of the most iconic images from the past century of fashion as Condé Nast opens up its photography archive to the public. The collection of images selected by curator Nathalie Herschdorfer see the sharp contrast in photographs from the early 20th century including the black and white images of Edward Steichen took what were probably the first fashion photographs in 1911, to the modern day.
