British papers
No story dominates the Good Friday newspaper front pages with a range of different splashes – although one bank holiday tradition does appear in several titles.
Both the Daily Mirror and The Sun warn of “Easter getaway chaos”, while The Independent joins them in warning of another difficult weekend for travellers.
