AnswersAnswers
  1. It's Blush. She is shown here with Pudsey and footballer Michael Owen.
  2. It's Catherine. She will be the sixth queen by that name, if you include the variable spellings. As all schoolchildren know, Henry VIII married three of the five.
  3. Supporter is the royal term for best man. The media and royal watchers are predicting Prince Harry will have the job.
  4. It's Baggs, who managed his team to victory but with a performance the Daily Telegraph described as "arrogant, patronising, puffed-up". Mr Berlusconi faces a confidence vote, while Mr Opik entered the jungle Down Under.
  5. It was Lynn Rival. The couple are from Tunbridge Wells in Kent.
  6. The live octopi record is the odd one out. All the rest were done for world records day. Joe Alexander in Germany did 24 blocks in three stacks of eight without breaking the egg he was clutching.
  7. It's Garth Brooks. The country singer lies second on the list of best-selling artists in the US, behind - you guessed it - The Beatles.
