Yesterday, the Sun edged it - they used the same picture as others, such as the Mirror, but with a much better headline: 'Mum would have been so proud'.
Today, we're calling it for the Times - if only because they're pretty much the only paper to eschew the predictable balcony-kiss shot, instead using two pictures of the Aston Martin on a wrap and then on the front page.
On a day when pretty much every paper carries the same story, a better headline and a better picture are what counts. Tomorrow, story strength might have something to do with it.
UPDATE: Peter Sands, former direction of PA Training and editor of the Northern Echo, agrees with our assessment too - and has a more detailed commentary on some of the front-page picture cropping.

That Star one is so shit.
Disagree. Look at it from a consumer point of view. Most people who never buy newspapers will buy one today as a souvenir, they will not be choosing The Times because of its 'peculiar' front page.
