ALEX DELANEY: Closing the door to my first-floor flat and walking down the stairs, I spotted my neighbour at our communal front door. After giving me a thorough inspection, she suspiciously asked: 'Are you going on a date?' I won't ever forget those words, so crisply delivered in stinging judgement. The truth was, I was meeting a rather lovely man. Someone I had made an effort for - smart jeans, eye-catching top, some makeup, too. And she noticed. Why was she was so astonished and judgey? Because my husband had died only six months before. Her words rang in my ears all night, but I still had a good time on London's South Bank. My date George had touchingly brought a picnic along with a flask of mulled wine too.

The shell of the main passenger cabin is wedged between a rocky outcrop and pine trees next to a hiking trail. Scattered randomly on scree below are lumps of the engine, fuel tanks and the landing gear. For 60 years, this wreckage has remained 2200m up on the slopes of Mount Canigou, a macabre reminder of a long-forgotten aviation disaster described as 'apocalyptic' by those who were first on the scene on a stormy October night in 1961.

Myths surrounding the undead and vampires date back to as early as the 11th century in eastern Europe, and it is not uncommon for skeletons bearing the marks of these superstitions to be unearthed. In eastern Europe tales of people who died and then returned to the living world several months later were rife, and were often blamed for sudden deaths, accidents or even just generally making life more difficult - such as being held responsible for a poor harvest. But the discovery of a tiny child's skeleton treated this way is believed to be the first of its kind. The grim discovery was made in the same cemetery as a woman who was buried with a scythe pressing down on her neck (pictured) - a way to ensure she would decapitate herself if she tried to rise from the dead, experts said.

Thousands of students swarmed the streets of Leeds and Newcastle last night to indulge in a night of tipsy fun.

Some partygoers were pictured wearing cowboy heads and fancy dress, while others put on their favourite dresses and cropped tops. The new students took the opportunity to let their hair down as the late night became the early morning. Unfortunately heavy clubbing proved too much for some of the new students dancing into the early hours, as their drinking was followed by vomiting or brawls in the street.

A stray dog that was quickly surrounded by three crocodiles as soon as it ran into their river may have thought that it wouldn't survive another minute. But in an astonishing turn of events, two of the crocodiles decided to nudge the young stray, which had jumped into the river to escape a pack of feral dogs, to safety with their snouts.
