Papers focus on Armistice tribute

Armistice Day has dominated many of Friday's headlines, with some papers using the occasion to talk about Iraq.

The Independent, which has a blood spattered image of a poppy on the front page, pays tribute to the 97 British servicemen who've died there.

The Times reports that the people of Assisi, in Italy, have found their own way of honouring British soldiers.

The paper says locals have begun adopting the graves of servicemen in the Commonwealth War Cemetery there.

Terror laws

Questions over Tony Blair's future continue to dominate in Friday's editorials.

The Daily Mirror says his failure to win the support of many Labour MPs over terror laws is a sign he's forgotten how to listen to his own colleagues.

The Times says Mr Blair has failed to take the defeat squarely on the chin.

The Guardian's editorial says Mr Blair upset important political conventions by recruiting senior police officers to help his battle.

Blunkett's shares

Developments over shares at the centre of David Blunkett's resignation from the Cabinet feature in the Times.

The paper says the shares will stay in a trust for his adult sons after all.

Mr Blunkett bought the shares when he took a directorship with the company DNA Bioscience in April, before returning to Cabinet.

Although he promised to ask his sons to sell the shares back, the paper says their trustees have decided it would be a breach of their legal duty.

Unfashionable tag

A story of a teenage girl who has been allowed not to wear an electronic tag because it would ruin her fashion sense has featured in many of the papers.

The Daily Star said magistrates accepted her complaint that the device would look stupid if she wore a skirt.

And the Daily Mail reported the tag would offend her "feminine" sense of fashion.

The 18-year-old, from Worcester, who has breached her bail conditions, will go on trial for assault next month.
