This edition of the Daily Star was published on September 3rd 2022, following Queen Elizabeth's death which took place just the day before. The nation's mourning and grief is empathised by the producers of this copy by the change of the masthead from the usual, sensational red to a solid black, which is polysemic and connotes death as well as seriousness and solemnity, which is very fitting to the event. The image is of Queen Elizabeth from her coronation, to represent her in her most youthful state, and to many, the symbolism of the commencement of her astonishing reign of over 70 years.
