A 'wonderful' young guardsman who took part in the Queen's state funeral has tragically been found dead at his barracks, MailOnline can reveal today. Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams, 18, played a key role in the extraordinary procession guarding Her Majesty's coffin as it was carried on a majestic gun carriage from Westminster Abbey, through Whitehall, down The Mall and past Buckingham Palace to Wellington Arch earlier this month. Police and paramedics from London Ambulance Service raced to Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge, central London after the alarm was raised at 3.48pm on Wednesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they are not treating the death as suspicious. On the day of the Queen's funeral, the soldier's family proudly posted video footage of troops from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment taking part in the ceremony, saying that their son was 'doing his duty for the Queen on her final journey'. 

The Beckhams were out in force to celebrate Victoria's successful debut Paris Fashion Week show. Fashion designer Victoria, 48, walked hand-in-hand with her daughter Harper, 11, who was dressed in one of her yellow gowns with a pair of trainers as they joined the rest of the clan for a night out in the French capital. Earlier in the evening, her son Brooklyn, 23, and his wife Nicola, 27, put rumours of a family feud to bed as they attended Victoria's show and sat in the front row - after arriving half an hour early to wish her good luck.

The front row of a fashion show is probably one of the most 'kissy-kissy' places on earth. A place where affection - even if it's entirely insincere - is often on full display. And yet, at Victoria Beckham's inaugural show at Paris Fashion Week yesterday, that was noticeably absent. Shortly before the show of Mrs Beckham's Spring/Summer 2023 collection, modelled by Bella Hadid among others, came the spectacle of the Beckham family's oh-so-public reunion.

An increasingly unhinged Vladimir Putin tonight ludicrously boasted 'victory will be ours' seven months into his squalid invasion of Ukraine after the Russian tyrant illegally annexed four territories from Kyiv in the biggest military land grab since the Second World War. The warmonger told thousands of flag-waving Russians gathered outside the gates of the Kremlin for a celebratory concert in Moscow's Red Square that people in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions had chosen to rejoin their 'historic motherland' - after his regime staged fake referendums there and rigged the outcomes at gunpoint. Flanked by the leaders of their Russian-backed administrations as the multi-coloured spires of the 16th century St Basil's Cathedral loomed in the background, Putin vowed that Moscow would do everything to support the newly annexed regions, boost their security and rebuild their economies. He then proclaimed: 'Welcome home!', before prompting chants of 'Russia! Russia!' from the enormous crowd gathered in the vast square.

When Daniel Asadi (pictured: middle) was 14, he was told by his doctor that his growing phase was all but over. 'He said I was pretty much done,' recalls Daniel today. At nearly 5 ft 7 in, Daniel was already a reasonable height - but the words were still a 'stab in the heart.' 'It's really hard for a lot of people to understand, but I couldn't handle it,' he says. 'It was this one thing I didn't have, and it was on my mind day and night.' Not any more. In May last year - 11 years on from that distressing doctor's appointment - Daniel, then 25, underwent leg-lengthening surgery to gain the height he so desperately craved.

A 'beautiful' young woman who died 'accidentally' at Liverpool's historic Adelphi Hotel (inset) was crushed by a wardrobe after she woke in the middle of the night and mistook it for the toilet door. Chloe Haynes (left and right), 21, was found dead at the renowned city centre hotel at 6.37am on September 10 after emergency services rushed to the scene following a 'concern for safety'. Her heartbroken mother Nicola Williams, 49, has revealed that the wardrobe is believed to have fallen from the wall and crushed her windpipe. Miss Williams, from Wrexham, said: 'Chloe left Pwllheli around 7.40pm and they went to the Adelphi, there was some sort of engagement party or something.

JAN MOIR: After being delayed by storms, Gwyneth Paltrow (left) joined Goopies on day six of the inaugural, nine-day Goop at Sea cruise in the Mediterranean (right) and her fans couldn't be more delighted. Goop devotees on this cruise are understandably thrilled that their heroine has chosen to spend part of her 50th birthday celebrations here on board with them, saluting the Goop brand she started as a kitchen table blog and built into a £220 million business. Gwyneth takes unladylike swigs straight from a big bottle of ferocious-looking black liquid and jokes about having a martini and a Xanax the night before. At least I think she is joking. Tanned and wearing a grey trouser suit with white trainers, she has just turned 50 but still has that dazzling California-girl smile, along with her trademark blonde hair - and that famously honed and toned body that looks good in nothing but gold paint.

BBC Radio 2 host Steve Wright (pictured left) said there is 'no tension, just fun, celebration and thanks' when he kicked off his final afternoon show as it comes to an end after 23 years. The veteran DJ, 68, started with OMC's 90s classic How Bizarre as he kicked off the three-hour stint of his last ever afternoon show, before telling listeners he 'doesn't want to go to bits'. He told listeners that he really appreciated 'the outpouring of goodwill towards the programme', before thanking everyone who has worked on the show since it began in 1999, and emphasized that he is 'not retiring' from the airwaves for good. Heartbroken listeners took to social media to express what the show meant to them, detailing how they had been with him 'from the start', while others vowed to 'enjoy every minute' of his last afternoon show.

Queen Margrethe, 82, has removed princely titles from four of her eight grandchildren, saying it is 'for their own good' - prompting a bitter royal row with her family redolent of when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit the UK and emigrated to California in January 2020. Europe's only reigning Queen was inspired to revoke their titles by other royals - including her late cousin Queen Elizabeth II - and claimed it was to allow the four children of her younger son, Prince Joachim: Nikolai, Felix, Henrik and Athena, to live more normal lives. It follows similar moves by other royal families in Europe, including the Windsors, to slim down their monarchies, the Danish palace said later. But her decision has 'upset' her second son Joachim and his four children. His eldest sons Nikolai and Felix - from his first marriage - have been branded 'playboy princes' because they are professional models who failed to complete their two-year military education after both concluded it was 'not right for them'.

As millions continue to be stung in the pocket by soaring heating and fuel prices, figures compiled by MailOnline, pictured, have revealed how the ballooning costs of household favourites are now eating into the weekly budgets of cash-strapped families. Cupboard staples such as milk, spaghetti and Heinz baked beans, have seen some of the largest increases in the last 12 months. The average cost of bottle of Morrisons milk is now 40.6 per cent higher than it was last year, while Tesco's own brand of spaghetti - a favourite for families on a budget - has rocketed by 60.4 per cent, according to data from Trolley.co.uk's Grocery Price Index.

Rabia was responding to a question on mortgages on yesterday's BBC programme after a turbulent week for UK markets following the government's mini-budget last Friday. She said: 'I was told my initial interest rate would be 4.5 percent. I was told today that the lender has pulled that offer and now the best offer I can get is about 10.5 percent. I'm being told, you need to immediately look at putting your application through because if you don't, the lenders may even pull these offers. As a first time buyer I don't think I can now afford to get a mortgage.'

Dorset-born student radical Louis McKechnie stormed the grounds at Goodison Park on March 17 wearing an orange Just Stop Oil T-shirt and attached himself by his neck to the goalpost using a metal-enforced zip tie in a 'reckless' and 'potentially very dangerous' climate change protest. The 21-year-old activist, who has been arrested about 20 times, halted play for about 10 minutes before the stadium's staff prised him free with a huge pair of bolt cutters and hauled off the pitch by police to the sounds of boos and jeers from thousands of incensed football fans. Footage filmed for a YouTube video showed McKechnie walking down the steps in the stand and climbing over a gate to get onto the pitch, as one fan shouted at him: 'F*** off you blert.' At a trial at South Sefton Magistrates' Court, McKechnie has been found guilty of aggravated trespass and sentenced to six weeks in prison. The protester was also given a £50 fine, or one day in detention, for going onto the playing area, made subject to a three-year football banning order and ordered to pay £500 towards prosecution costs.

Phil Vickery was pictured sharing a lingering kiss with his ex-wife Fern Britton's friend Lorraine Stanton as they left a swanky London hotel together in images that have left the presenter 'heartbroken and dumbstruck'. The photos come as the retired hospitality consultant, 58, told MailOnline that revealed that her marriage to her husband Simon is over - and she has moved out of the family home. Breaking her silence on the images, Lorraine admitted her family are going through a tough period and said she has moved out of the house she shared with Simon and their two children.

Princess Kate, 40, shared the anecdote as she and William visited Wales earlier this week for the first time since assuming their new roles. In a video shared on TikTok, the royal mother-of-three is seen stopping to speak to a woman holding a novelty Union Jack printed with a photo from her and William's engagement in 2010.

Harford Manor (exterior top left and front garden bottom right), set within 40 acre grounds, is considered the height of luxury as it boasts ten bedrooms as well as two kitchens, with a very modern feel suited to the needs of today. The lavish extras do not stop there as the mansion has its own home cinema and entertainment room with a nine-screen video wall. The owner may even be able to invite their new neighbour, the King, to fun parties and activities as the property also comes with a lavish and modern nearly 40-foot indoor pool (top right and exterior bottom left) and wine cellar (inset) than can hold more 1,000 bottles.

A top Russian officer reportedly had his face smashed during a brawl with furious conscripts after telling them their lives were going to be thrown away on the front lines in Ukraine. The mobilised recruits turned on the Russian lieutenant-colonel after he bluntly said: 'You are all cannon fodder, you are facing slaughter.' The high-ranking officer had his face 'smashed' and bones in his face broken in a brawl in which 'every single one of them was drunk', say reports. Many of the reservists - among hundreds of thousands thrown into the war under a Vladimir Putin decree - were left distraught after being told they will die at the front. However, the commander was likely being accurate in saying the Putin call-up will lead to mass deaths of untrained reservists sent to the front. It is just the latest tale of chaos, fighting and drunkenness among newly mobilised Russian conscripts, with reports of many being sent to front lines with little or zero training and being told to buy their own supplies and equipment.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has accused the 'Anglo-Saxon' powers of organising blasts that resulted in multiple gas leaks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines from Russia to Europe. The mysterious leaks were caused by an explosion equal to hundreds of kilograms of TNT and measuring 2.3 on the Richter Scale, a Danish-Swedish report said. All countries have denied the charges while pointing the finger at each other, with Putin now making a fresh accusation against Britain and the US of orchestrating the blasts. 'Sanctions are not enough for the West, they have switched to sabotage... by organising explosions on the Nord Stream international gas pipelines that run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea,' Putin said during a televised speech at a Kremlin ceremony to annex four Moscow-occupied regions of Ukraine. It has seen a huge methane cloud emanating from the bottom of the Baltic Sea drifting out over Scandinavia before coming down to blanket Britain since the mysterious blasts on Monday September 26. Norwegian research institute NILU calculated that at least 80,000 tons of methane have escaped into the atmosphere as of September 30 - more than four times the annual methane emission from the Norwegian oil and gas industry, a top ten producer.

These photographs promise to 'bring a lost London back to life'. They are black and white images that have been specially colourised to illustrate the captivating new book Colours of London: A History, by biographer and critic Peter Ackroyd, published by Frances Lincoln. Jordan J Lloyd of Dynamichrome colourised many of the images in the book. Reflecting on the process, he says: 'What I found extraordinary was not how much, but how little has changed; the view would be as familiar to a Londoner during the reign of Queen Victoria as it would be today.' Read on for more on the eye-opening new compendium...

This is the moment three thieves who stole £500,000 worth of luxury cars were caught red-handed when they got hungry and stopped at a McDonald's drive-thru. Footage shows police arresting robbers Rory Fitzgerald, Harry Beresford and Zachary Shellis as they were ordering their burgers and fries. Officers had earlier been hunting the group after the were spotted trying to break into garages just before midnight on November 17 2020. The group drove off empty-ended in a black Peugeot with a distinctive 'space saver' wheel on the back.

Charleston is already being battered by gale-force winds from Hurricane Ian as the city braces for a direct hit and storm surges of up to 7ft, after it barreled through Florida leaving swathes of the state decimated and 19 dead. Monster tempest Ian has recharged from a tropical storm back into a Category 1 hurricane on Thursday as it is set to pummel South Carolina today, as well as neighboring North Carolina and Georgia. Historic Charleston is already being battered by 85mph winds as landfall is expected to devastate parts of the city at 2pm today - bringing life threatening storm surges of up to 7ft to the city and other coastal hubs. A state of emergency has since been declared in Charleston County, which has a population of about 413,000, with officials changing operations to react to a disaster or emergency - which they warn is 'imminent'. Hurricane warnings have been issued across hundreds of miles of coastline, stretching from the Savannah River to Cape Fear, with flooding likely across the Carolinas and southwestern Virginia. The National Hurricane Center also issued a warning for the entire coast of South Carolina, including Hilton Head island, Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

The image is the closest look at Europa that any spacecraft has provided in more than 20 years, when the US space agency's Galileo came within 218 miles (351 km) of the surface in January 2000. Revealing surface features in a region near the moon's equator called Annwn Regio, Juno's picture was captured during the solar-powered probe's closest approach yesterday (Thursday). Europa is the sixth-largest moon in the solar system, slightly smaller than Earth's moon.

Citroen's quirky electric Ami runaround has got a new green zero-emissions big brother called Oli. And parts of it is made from recycled corrugated cardboard. The squared-off SUV has a 100 per cent recycled construction - with vehicle parts that can be reused or recycled throughout its lifetime - and is designed to do for fun family mobility what Ami achieved for personal urban mobility. It boasts innovative use of new materials leading to lower weight, less cost and a smaller environmental footprint. And it also has a completely vertical windscreen, a flatbed boot and non-slip roof you can lie on top of. Bosses at the French car brand have even put a fictional price tag of €25,000 (around £22,000) on it, though the Oli remains a concept for now and isn't planned for production anytime soon.

The descendants of one of the richest families in the world are set to cash in £1million by selling off some of the belongings in their country mansion. The incredible array of art and antiques was amassed by the de Rothschild family, including Alfred who was considered one of the greatest art collectors of the 19th century. All of the items from the exquisite collection can be traced through the family of wealthy bankers over the last 150 years before they came to be in Exbury House in the New Forest. The most valuable item for sale is the Rothschild Raffaelli mosaic table (left) which is expected to collect £60,000. Meanwhile a silver chandelier will fetch £8,000 and a pair of silver figures of a crossbowman and a swordsman (right) will be up for sale for £30,000.

The wreck of a long-lost World War I German U-boat that sank a century ago was discovered by a sleuthing diver off the coast of Virginia. The SM U-111, which was a 235-foot ship that sank three Allied merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean during its time with the German Imperial Navy, sank on August 31, 1922 in waters that U.S. Navy said were 1,600 feet deep. Over Labor Day, diver Erik Petkovic was on board the R/V Explorer about 40 miles off Virginia's coast peering into a video monitor linked to a remotely operated vehicle searching 400 feet below when he yelled out: 'That's it! There it is!'

Messages from exes are often kept personal and private. But some have taken to Instagram site TextsFromYourEx to share their most cringeworthy and hilarious messages. Sharing a conversation, one ex said she really did not want to read a letter from her ex. Another said she did not want to meet up for a hook-up. And a few were astonished that their ex had deleted their number.

The first ever fossa pups to be born at Chester Zoo, Cheshire, in its 91-year history have been pictured and filmed - despite the elusive nature of the endangered carnivores. The adorable 12-week-old triplets were spotted for the first time by keepers as they emerged from their den at the zoo in Cheshire. The tiny trio, born to the zoo's five-year-old adult fossas, Shala and Isalo, in July, have been identified as one male and two females - but zookeepers are yet to decide on names for the youngsters. A video released by the zoo shows the cute creatures clambering over trees and play fighting with each other in their enclosure.

Michelle Walton, 51, from Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, served on the UK force for three decades, dealing with hard-hitting crime and strict rules. But she always like the idea of stripping off and even took a year out in the late 90s to work in a topless bar in Australia. Now, having retired in 2020, she is part of a cabaret group and strips for charity at events (right). Also pictured: Michelle joining the force (left) and while serving (centre).

Sophie Heaslip, 25, from Brentford, Greater London, went to get the filler in her top lip dissolved last week as lumps had developed, intending to get them filled again in the near future. But as soon as the £100 procedure was over Sophie said her lips ballooned and the colour 'went' from them. When she arrived home an hour later, the mother-of-one claims a black blister bubbled up on the right side of her mouth alongside smaller bumps. Pictured: Sophie before the reaction (left) and after (right).

Emma Lou, 38, from Nottinghamshire, divorced her husband in December 2018 following a four-and-a-half year marriage and a 10-year relationship. The divorcee came up with the idea of ruining her dress by covering it in paint that year, then, in 2019, decided to place it in a fire pit and set it alight (right). Left, Emma in the dress.

Several fans are feared to be injured after the roof of a football stadium in Chile collapsed as they were watching players train. Colo Colo fans were in the 47,000-capacity Estadio Monumental stadium in Macul, Chile for a training session - while more were waiting outside to celebrate the stadium's 33 year anniversary. Snapshots from a shocking video posted on Twitter shows the stadium erupting in cheers as the audience watches the players. But seconds later one of the bleachers - filled with fans - appears to disintegrate completely and crashes to the ground and onto people below.

In the shocking incident at Saint-Cloud, Christophe Soumillon knocked Rossa Ryan to the floor as they travelled side-by-side, sparking calls for the Belgian to be banned for life. Soumillon was immediately disqualified from the race and has been banned for two months. But the suspension does not start until after Sunday, when he is due to ride in the famous Arc de Triomphe - a race that has a total prize pot of £4million. Ryan appeared unhurt but did fall alarmingly quickly in an impact a Sky Sports Racing pundit compared to 'jumping out of a car sunroof at 35mph'. Speaking after the incident, Soumillon said: 'I received a little bit of pressure from Rossa's mount. I tried to keep a better position behind Ryan Moore. I put my elbow against him just to make him understand I wasn't going to the inside. Unfortunately when I asked my horse to go there and to the right I pushed him (Rossa) for a stride or two and he fell off.'

Piper Riley Thompson, 28, from Canada, went on a 'breakup getaway' after her and her boyfriend decided they wanted to go their separate ways. The couple shared footage of the viral vacay, explaining that the two spent the trip mourning their relationship. In the video Piper and her soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend could be seen holding hands and snuggling, with her admitting it was 'heartbreaking and healing all at once.' 'We cuddled in this spot reminiscing. We talked about all of our fears, our plans for healing, and what we hope for our futures,' she wrote. Piper didn't disclose the reason for the breakup, but many users have speculated it was due to a career change as she shared she no longer wanted to be a lawyer.
