Sunday sees the last-ever edition of the “News of the World” tabloid newspaper, following the abrupt decision of owners, News Corp, to close it last week.
The Murdochs announced the closure after endless revelations of illegal phone-hacking operations culminated in suspicions that murder victims such as 13-year-old Milly Dowler may have been the target of journalists.
The unsavoury circumstances surrounding the paper’s demise have not stopped many trying to make the occasion into a celebration, with predictions of sales reaching five-million as people look to obtain a copy as a collectable.
There is also the possibility that the NotW will simply be replaced by the “Sun on Sunday” – a similar News International publication.
The final front page reads "Thank you and Goodbye" - a sentiment that probably will not be shared by many in the UK considering the events which have forced the premature farewell.
