Until Sunday the News of the World were offering readers a free copy of both their first and last ever editions as a souvenir through a page previously located here. Since their website has now been blitzed that link is no longer active - and what's replaced it? The opportunity to buy exactly the same package for £2.95 that they'd been ever-so-charitably offering free! I was planning to send off for the free one when I got round to it, and so I didn't bother to pick one up on the day. Not sure I'll bother now if they've decided they need to cash in on their goodwill gesture - I'd feel a little short-changed spending enough to buy three Independents and only coming out with two News of the Worlds.

Send off for a 'free' souvenir edition... or not.
