A British Airways passenger who endured the chaos at Heathrow tells the Guardian that the terminal was the angriest place he had ever been.

It shows a sea of luggage, under the headline: "Now find our bags."

A man in the departure lounge hands his wife a coffee, saying: "Great news, the baby on our flight has grown up and stopped crying."

No-one doubts that BA has suffered what the Financial Times calls "brand damage".

The Times asks : "Why was there such a lamentable failure to tell anyone what was going on?"

The Times says the airline has been left in "blunderland", warning that there is little difference, these days, between BA and its low-cost competitors.

It reports that families fled in panic, as a blood-curdling scream was heard.

The Mail suggests the dead keeper, Rosa King, had entered the enclosure to help a colleague.

In the absence of a head-to-head confrontation between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn before the election, Monday night's appearances by both on TV are picked over in detail.

The paper thought Mrs May seemed competent and capable - while Mr Corbyn came across as confident, "at ease in his own skin".

There is real affection for former Blue Peter presenter John Noakes, as the papers report his death with dementia.

"With his breezy persona and Beatles haircut," says the Times , "he was an instant hit with young viewers."

The Guardian says his "daredevil can-do attitude marked him out from his more sensible co-presenters".

The paper says he was the programme's "lord of misrule" during a golden age for Blue Peter and children's television.

She says he was "not a grown-up, as such, but a large, brave, magical creature".

The sometimes-startling weather over the bank holiday has provided a fine crop of pictures.
