Coverage runs from flames to ice

Version 0 of 1.

Dramatic photographs of the burning Penhallow Hotel in Cornwall steal the front pages of several Sunday papers.

"Inferno" is the lead from the Mail on Sunday, which claims the blaze was the country's worst hotel fire in 33 years.

The front pages of theSunday Telegraph and the Sunday Mirror both show photographs of the towering flames that swept through the hotel.

The Independent on Sunday quotes police praising hoteliers who "literally put the kettle on" for fire victims.

McCanns decision

The parents of Madeleine McCann have decided to "face the heartbreak" and return home without their daughter, according to the Sunday Express.

The paper also claims local police are to present them with evidence that she was killed and not abducted on 3 May.

According to the Sunday Times the decision was taken because they have been left "isolated and bruised" by their treatment in the Portuguese press.

The News of The World claims the decision was made for the sake of their twins.

Exams criticism

The annual dissection of exam results and whether or not they are too easy is a common theme for a number of papers.

The Sunday Express claims the rise in A-grade passes at A-level from 8% in 1965, to more than a quarter this year, proves they have been dumbed down.

The paper argues the success is not matched by evidence of improved ability from parents and employers.

The Sunday Telegraph claims examiners are finding elementary spelling errors even in names such as Hitler.

Naked protest

The front page of the Observer is emblazoned with a photograph of hundreds of naked people on a glacier.

The paper says the volunteers posed in Switzerland for a Greenpeace protest against global warming.

The paper suggests the event may have had more impact on the temperature of the protestors than that of the planet.

A picture from behind is used in the Daily Star Sunday, which suggests the protest was the "bottom line of global warming."
