Two stories dominate the front page of the Daily Express.
Here is a summary of the front page of the Daily Express:
1. British storm shadow missiles fired at Russia
- The Daily Express says footage shows locals picking up fragments of the 12 British missiles in Russia, noting the permitting of British weapons is a “major escalation” in the war.
2. Stars united at final farewell to Liam Payne
The Daily Express notes the celebrity mourners attending the funeral saying “Stars united at final farewell.” He was laid to rest yesterday in a private funeral in the Home Counties, where his family and friends attended, followed by a wake.
‘Farewell Liam’ & ‘British weapons fired at Russia’ – Paper Talk UK
Liam Payne’s funeral and the use of British-made weapons being used by Ukraine to strike Russia lead Thursday’s newspapers.
Several tabloids lead with reports on the funeral of former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne, who died last month after he fell from his balcony in Argentina. Much of the front page coverage features images from outside the Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.
There is a heightened fear for the tabloids as Ukraine has fired British-made missiles into Russia for the first time. The broadsheets take a more measured tone on their front pages, as they report the British missiles struck deep inside of Russia.
