Monday’s front pages cover various stories. Most of the papers feature striking images from last night’s Paris Olympics closing ceremony as the Games ended in ‘spectacular style.’

The funeral of Alice da Silva Aguiar is also pictured on the front pages – and is the lead story for many of the tabloids. The nine-year-old was stabbed to death, along with two other little girls, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

Several broadsheets continue their coverage around the riots that followed the murder of the three little girls with the worst of the violence appearing to be behind us now.
