Under the headline "Bank Holiday Ring of Steel", the Daily Mail reports security has been ramped up at 1,300 events. The paper says security at the FA Cup Final, the Premiership rugby final and the Hay literary Festival has been dramatically reviewed. It reports police marksmen will also be sent to theme parks, beaches and resorts.

About 3,000 are judged to pose a threat or are under investigation while the rest are considered a "residual risk". The paper says the two terrorists who have struck in Britain this year - Salman Abedi, the Manchester bomber, and Khalid Masood, the Westminster killer - were in a "pool of interest" and not subject to any surveillance.

It says Abedi is understood to have received thousands of pounds in state funding in the run-up to Monday's attack, even while he was overseas receiving bomb-making training.

Heart of the campaign

It claims the prime minister said Mr Corbyn had suggested that the Manchester suicide bombing was "our own fault" by linking terrorism to British foreign policy.

The paper suggests her attack comes as senior Tories have expressed concern that her campaign message of "strong and stable" leadership is not resonating with voters.

The paper says Mr Corbyn's status as a rank outsider may have worked to his advantage - with little scrutiny of his background and beliefs - plus, what one Labour official described as, "the absolute implosion" of the Tories. But it says his "odds of victory are still poor".

It describes the match between Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and Roman Abramovich's Chelsea as a "battle for football's soul" and asks if the game is about artistry or money.

The paper says that since Mr Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003, the idea of the all-powerful manager who runs the club from top to bottom has been so eroded so that Wenger is the last man standing. The paper believes that defeat could finish him off.

Finally, under the headline "live and let live", the Guardian says sales in vegan foods have soared with Tesco reporting that demand for vegetarian and vegan ready meals and snacks have increased by 40% in the last year.
