She's widely seen as one of the monarchy's safest pairs of hands, but should she ever decide on a change of career, the Duchess of Edinburgh would, I can confidently predict, be snapped up by her local Waitrose. Packing her bags on a supermarket trip with her great friend Mary Montagu-Scott some time back, Sophie so impressed the checkout assistant, who was oblivious that she was Queen Elizabeth's daughter-in-law, that she said they had some in-store vacancies and the manager would happily take her details. Smiling, the senior royal thanked her politely and giggled all the way home. 'The lady clearly had no idea who Sophie was,' Mrs Montagu-Scott, daughter of the late Lord Montagu of Beaulieu recalls. 'And that's just the way she likes it, to be honest. Sophie is both an asset to the nation and to the Royal Family, but more than anything she is a fantastic friend.' Tomorrow, the duchess turns 60,

NEW An incredible image of a brave Iranian smiling with a noose around his neck moments before being hanged has resurfaced after two supreme court justices were shot dead. The photograph of Majid Kavousifar, 28, captures the man's final moments before execution after he and his nephew Hossein, were convicted of the murder of Judge Masoud Ahmadi Moghaddasi. Majid and Hossein Kavousifar were both publicly executed by hanging in central Tehran in August 2007. Moghaddasi was one of several judges of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Court allegedly responsible for the mass execution of political dissidents in 1988. As Judge Moghaddasi was leaving a court building in Tehran on August 2, 2005, an assailant on a motorcycle shot the judge twice with a pistol, killing him. That assailant was later identified as Majid Kavousifar. After murdering Moghadassi, Majid escaped from Iran to the UAE where he pleaded the US embassy for refugee status - but the embassy surrendered him to Emirati police where he was then extradited to Iran. The extraordinary images circulating online, show Majid's public hanging in front of the Ershad Judiciary Complex. At the time, the Kavousifars' hangings were the first public executions carried out in Tehran in five years.
