I managed to pick up a few newspapers on Friday. I'm always fascinated to see how newspapers handle big stories like this. I thought this crop were pretty dull and nothing really captured the iconic nature of Mandela.
Interestngly Guardian staff were tweeting this cover on Thursday night, but it had changed by the morning.
In the UK I thought the Metro cover was the best, which maybe marks a coming of age for those free newspapers.
But by far the best cover I've seen (and I haven't seen them all) is this one from the New Yorker, which I saw described as "sending shivers down your spine".
