Focus on Falklands commemorations

Version 0 of 1.

Images from ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the end of the Falklands war feature in Monday's papers.

The Daily Mail says it was a day of profound emotion. For the Daily Telegraph, there was spectacle and sombre reflection among veterans.

Those who fought, it goes on, were no longer young as they marched into Horse Guards Parade in London.

In the words of the Daily Express, they marched with the sure step of heroes each with their own tale to tell.

'Embarasssing U-turn'

A row has broken out in the Tory party over free admission to public exhibitions at museums and galleries, the Times reports.

Shadow culture secretary Hugo Swire was quoted in a Sunday paper as saying they should be allowed to charge.

He was forced into an embarrassing U-turn by the backlash from his own party and others, the Independent says.

The Daily Mirror and the Sun criticise Mr Swire's proposal. The Sun calls it an "idiotic gaffe".

EU treaty

Several papers pick up on a suggestion made by Europe Minister Geoff Hoon in a BBC interview that Gordon Brown may hold a referendum on Europe.

The vote would be on the EU treaty being negotiated in Brussels this week.

The Guardian reports that Mr Hoon is close to the prime-minister-in-waiting, Mr Brown.

As a result, his position may reflect a view in his circle that he should not be seen to be ruling out a referendum in advance, the paper adds.

Young talent

Many of the papers report on Sunday night's final of TV variety show Britain's Got Talent.

The opera-singing winner of the show, Paul Potts, a mobile phone salesman, won a Â£100,000 cheque and will perform at the Royal Variety Performance.

Judge Simon Cowell, meanwhile, tells the Sun he was "allergic to kids" until he saw finalist Connie Talbot, six.

Cowell thinks the young singer could "easily make a million quid-plus this year", the paper reports.
