The Andy scoop should be celebrated

When you have just scored a genuine world scoop in the tough old business of international photo-journalism, the call is normally for pints all round.

What you don’t expect from a couple of one-time print colleagues is that the hugely successful picture of former royal "Randy Andy" leaving a police station makes one feel a touch queasy because it makes the poor man appear so shattered. Really? Are you sure?

Just take a look at the current charge sheet being waved in his direction as he takes up residence in yet another free home.

So please, top snapper Phil Noble, take and enjoy all the plaudits you can from that mega-picture.

The vast majority of Reuters people will be firmly behind you. And insisting you make it fine champagne not beer.
