The Papers: 'Briton dies in Krakow shootings' and 'Royals honour the fallen'

The Prince and Princess of Wales are pictured on a number of Sunday's front pages, after they joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance. The Royals paid tribute to serving and former military personnel "and listened to stories from veterans told through letters sent home to their family members", the Sunday Telegraph reports.

The Sunday Express reports that veterans face average waits of "more than nine months" to be compensated for their physical and mental injuries, with campaigners urging Prime Minister Andy Burnham to take urgent action on the "battle with bureaucracy". A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said it was working at pace to deliver compensation to those eligible "as quickly as possible, using overtime and weekend working to tackle outstanding claims, while prioritising those who are terminally ill".

The Sunday Times carries news which broke late on Saturday of a Briton "killed in the centre of Krakow by a gunman", according to Polish authorities, alongside five others.
