Frances Connolly launched the 60 for 60 Challenge at Middlesbrough Velodrome, urging seven athletes to collectively run, swim, and cycle 60 miles to raise funds for her charity, the PFC Trust. This initiative honours her 60th birthday and supports local causes in the North East of England.

As it has been for much of this week, the front pages continue to be dominated by domestic politics and football. Friday sees stories on prison reform, the prime minister’s first overseas trip to attend a Nato summit in Washington, the two-child benefit cap and the rise in the value of the pound on the foreign currency markets.

Elsewhere, almost all of the front pages splash on the England football team ahead of the European Championship final on Sunday. England will face Spain at the Olympiastadion Berlin. The back pages continue the Euros coverage.
