It's very rare that the same story dominates the front pages of every single newspaper - and even rarer that they all carry the exact same illustrative image.
Phil Noble's photo of a shellshocked Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, caught like a rabbit in the proverbial headlights as he was escorted to a Norfolk police station following his arrest, has been splashed everywhere - and has inevitably proven grist for the meme mill.
In a post for his site The United Nations Of Photography, Grant Scott has given the background to the picture, noting that it's a prime example of "luck, tenacity and an awareness of the moment" being more important than technical skill or composition.
On the strength of his comments at last year's Eye Festival in Aberystwyth, in which he talked about perseverance and serendipity, Joel Goodman is one photographer who would be inclined to agree.
