Alex Salmond dies aged 69 and 'Coleen of the jungle'
The Sunday Times leads on the death of former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, who it describes as a "titan of independence". The paper reports that his successor Nicola Sturgeon hailed her mentor "after the SNP's ex-leader collapses following a speech abroad".
The Observer also features a picture of Mr Salmond, who has died aged 69, on its front page. The paper quotes Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who called the late ex first minister a "monumental figure". But its lead story is about Sir Keir stepping into a "cabinet row to rescue global summit", following comments about P&O Ferries by Transport Secretary Louise Haigh.
The Sunday Telegraph also devotes its main picture slot to Mr Salmond, but its lead story focuses on what it says are Energy Secretary Ed Miliband's "plans to erect thousands of pylons across Britain" - with the paper reporting that they are being criticised for being a waste of money. Its headline calls the pylons a "net-zero blight".

The paper adds that "(former England footballer) Wayne's wife will pocket over ?1.5m".
Under the header "Labour sleaze latest", the Mail on Sunday leads on the story of how Taylor Swift received a police motorcade while she was in London. The paper says the row is "engulfing" the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, headlining on "Law chief 'pressured' Met to give Taylor her VIP escort".
The Sunday Mirror has an exclusive interview with the prime minister. Its headline reads: "Keir: judge me on how we fix Britain", as it reports that Sir Keir says his government "is just getting started".
