A funeral service has been held for the three children of the Asos billionaire who were killed in the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka. Fashion tycoon Anders Holch Povlsen was seen comforting his wife Anne and daughter Astrid as the flower-covered coffins of his three children Alfred, Alma and Agnes emerged from their hearses at Aarhus Cathedral in Denmark. Astrid was seen walking with her parents towards one of the three hearses to cut a bouquet of balloons from a coffin. Today's service was attended by members of the Danish Royal Family and the country's Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen. Crown Princess Mary could be seen holding her daughter Princess Isabella as she was flanked by her son Prince Vincent and daughter Princess Josephine. At a memorial service last week Mr Povlsen described the family's loss as 'utterly incomprehensible' but thanked family, friends and neighbours in the Danish town of Brande for their love and support and promised to come through the tragedy 'together'. He was staying with his family at the Shangri-La Hotel in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo when it was hit by suicide bombers Zahran Hashim, suspected plot mastermind, and Ilham Ibrahim, the son of a millionaire spice merchant. His son Alfred and two daughters Alma and Agnes were killed in the blast, while his third daughter Astrid survived. It is thought he was injured in the attacks himself, though it is not clear how seriously he was hurt.

At a memorial service in Brande, Denmark, last Thursday, the family expressed their loss as 'utterly incomprehensible' in a text message. Reading the message to a crowd of around 700 well-wishers, pastor Arne Holst-Larsen said: 'The loss of our beloved children Alma, Agnes and Alfred are completely incomprehensible. 'With the many lovely people we have around us, close friends, talented colleagues and our loving family we will come together through it. 'We greatly appreciate the humanity that is also shown in Brande tonight - not only to our families and children, but to all the victims of the cruel acts in Sri Lanka.' Mr Povlsen's children were killed just days after he revealed plans to hand his Scottish estates to them, in the hope they'd carry on his legacy of conservation.

'We are working towards an entirely sustainable model; everything in balance a project that can endure beyond what Anne and myself can ever expect to see in our own lifetime.' Just days before the devastating attacks, Alma had shared a holiday snap of her siblings next to a pool. Sri Lankan officials have blamed a little-known Islamist group called National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ) for the terrorist attacks, adding that the organisation had 'international help'. A video has emerged of eight men pledging allegiance to ISIS and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before the attack. The bombers co-ordinated their attacks targeting five-star hotels and churches on Easter Sunday in an apparent deliberate attempt to target westerners and Christians. Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena said on Saturday the security forces would 'eradicate terrorism' after the devastating suicide attacks and restore stability before a presidential election due by year-end.

The group has claimed responsibility. 'Elections cannot be postponed, therefore before the elections I will bring about stability and I will eradicate terrorism,' Sirisena said. 'We have already identified all active members of the group and it's a case of now arresting them,' Sirisena said, adding that there were a further 25 to 30 'active members' linked to the bombings still at large. Sirisena said that all indications suggested Islamic State had been involved, adding: 'It's crystal clear because after the attacks the IS organisation made an announcement claiming responsibility for the bombings.' Sri Lanka authorities have previously said that they suspect the attackers had international links, although the precise nature of those connections is not known. Police have said two previously little-known groups - National Thawheedh Jamaath and Jammiyathul Millathu Ibrahim - carried out the bombings. Sirisena said that intelligence services from eight countries, including the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Interpol, were helping Sri Lanka with the investigation. Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena said on Saturday the security forces would 'eradicate terrorism' the devastating suicide attacks and restore stability before a presidential election due by year-end Sirisena said more needs to be done: 'There are another 25-30 suspects still at large, but there is no information yet to say these suspects are suicide bombers' Local intelligence officials believe that Zahran Hashim, a radical Tamil-speaking preacher from the east of the Indian Ocean island nation, may have been a key player in plotting the bombings. Officials believe he was one of nine suicide bombers. Sirisena said that the military and police have made huge progress with their investigations, but emphasised that more needs to be done. 'There are another 25-30 suspects still at large, but there is no information yet to say these suspects are suicide bombers.' Scores of suspected Islamists have been arrested after the Easter attacks shattered the relative peace enjoyed by the multi-ethnic nation since a civil war ended a decade ago. A Sri Lankan soldier stands guard outside St. Anthony's Shrine in Colombo last Monday - the country remains on high alert Sri Lanka's security forces were on high alert amid intelligence reports that militants were likely to strike before the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, due to begin on Monday. The government has banned women from wearing face veils under an emergency law that was put in place after the attacks. 'This is not a Sri Lanka issue, it's a global terrorist movement,' Sirisena said. 'Even advanced countries like the U.S., Russia, UK, Germany, India and Australia together haven't been able to completely eradicate this IS global terrorism menace.' Sri Lanka's leaders, including the president, have come under heavy criticism for failing to heed warnings from Indian intelligence services - at least three in April alone - that an attack was imminent. Sirisena denied he had knowledge of the warnings before he embarked on an overseas trip on April 15. 'Had I known about this, I would have taken appropriate action, and not gone overseas,' he said. Critics said infighting between the president and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe had undermined the response to the militant threat. But Sirisena said he and the prime minister were cooperating on national security issues. Sri Lanka's economy, already struggling with growth slipping to a 17-year low in 2018, has been dealt a 'big blow' by the attacks, Sirisena said. The tourism sector has grown rapidly in the last decade since the Sri Lankan government defeated the rebel Tamil Tigers. Around 2.5 million tourists visit the island nation each year. 'It's a big blow to the economy, as well as the tourism industry,' Sirisena said. 'For the economy to develop it's important tourism to return to where it was before the attacks.' adverts.addToArray("pos":"inread_player")Advertisement

Welcome To The Second Annual Daily Mail Wine Awards My Favourite Challenge Of The Year

RevaStitt694:

Welcome to the second annual Daily Mail Wine Awards, my favourite challenge of the year. Since early September I have been tasting the wines on our supermarket shelves furiously and compiling a list of my favourites. I then divided up the very best bottles into 20 distinct categories or classes covering every style imaginable, before ringing up my most talented wine expert friends to assemble the ultimate judging team to pit these wines head-to-head in a series of ‘blind' tastings. As self-appointed chairman of this merry band of talented palates, I hosted a day of rigorous sniffing, swirling and spitting at the Daily Mail HQ in [/news/london/index.html London]. And here, in this indispensable eight-page pullout, are the results - the best-value wines on our high streets today. My only criterion, aside from superb flavour of course, was that the wines needed to show extraordinary value for money. Indeed, [http://soulofcricketer.mystrikingly.com/blog/dhoni-last-ball-six http://soulofcricketer.mystrikingly.com/blog/dhoni-last-ball-six] every judge was blown away by the winners in terms of both flavour and the value they offer. I hope you enjoy reading through this list and that you hurry along to the various supermarkets with this special pullout in hand to secure the very finest wines for your [/news/christmas/index.html Christmas] and New Year entertaining. But act fast, because many of these bottles are subject to seasonal discounts so they're bound to fly off the shelves. Cheers!

How many [/sport/world-cup-2018/index.html World Cup] points would [/sport/portugal_football/index.html Portugal] have without [/sport/cristianoronaldo/index.html Cristiano Ronaldo] in their team? One? Maybe two if we are being generous? As it is, Portugal have four and would appear to be on their way to qualifying for the knockout stages after just two games. Ronaldo's early goal here was his fourth of the tournament, following on from his hat-trick in the 3-3 draw with Spain. A header, it was a classic Ronaldo moment. Brave, decisive and entirely predictable. Cristiano Ronaldo runs away in celebration after his header gave Portugal a fourth-minute lead against Morocco in Moscow Ronaldo increased his goals tally to four in two matches at the World Cup by making the early breakthrough Ronaldo soaks up the acclaim of the Luzhniki Stadium crowd as he performs his pirouette celebration near the corner flag Ronaldo stole ahead of his marker Karim El Ahmadi to head home Portugal's opening goal in the fourth minute in Moscow Morocco goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi was left with no chance as Ronaldo's bullet diving header ripped past him The Portugal players celebrate with Ronaldo after he opened the scoring early on against Morocco RELATED ARTICLES [# Previous] [# 1] [# Next] [/sport/football/article-5864811/Cristiano-Ronaldos-form-Portugal-outstanding-hit-30.html Cristiano Ronaldo's form for Portugal has been outstanding...] [/sport/football/article-5865033/Cristiano-Ronaldo-sports-goatee-arrives-Portugals-World-Cup-clash-Morocco.html Cristiano Ronaldo reveals he grew new goatee beard as a joke...] [/sport/football/article-5865123/BBCs-Vicki-Sparks-makes-history-female-World-Cup-commentator.html BBC's Vicki Sparks makes history as first female commentator...] Share this article Share From that point on, however, Portugal were given the run around by Morocco and that they managed to win points to one of the more remarkable stories of this World Cup so far. The Africans - who lost their opener to Iran courtesy of a late own goal - missed a good chance in the second minute here and subsequently spent most of the afternoon missing them. Twice in injury time, they looked set to equalise but didn't. It was that kind of day. So they will in all likelihood go home after the group stage while Portugal will move forwards. But nobody should really fear Ronaldo and [http://soulofcricketer.mystrikingly.com/blog/dhoni-last-ball-six http://soulofcricketer.mystrikingly.com/blog/dhoni-last-ball-six] Co. The 33-year-old is already having the tournament of his life but surely cannot carry a team as modest as this one all on his own for the next three weeks. Portugal failed to dictate the way this game was played just as they failed to do so against Spain. On both occasions, an early Ronaldo goal gave them the lead but it did not give them dominance. Ronaldo attempts another shot during the first half as he tries to strengthen his case for the World Cup Golden Boot Goncalo Guedes had an excellent opportunity to double Portugal's lead but Munir Mohamedi made a one-handed save Portugal keeper Rui Patricio makes a magnificent one-handed save to deny Younes Belhanda a certain equalising goal The reflex save by Rui Patricio prevented Portugal conceding an equalising goal at a crucial juncture of the match <div class="art-ins mol-factbox sport halfRHS" data-version="2" id="mol-711447e0-748f-11e8-b653-af82f01da0ef" website 1-0 Morocco: Cristiano Ronaldo heads home the winner
