Apology

October 19, 2009 – 8:00 am

sundaypeopleON October 7, 2007 we reported that Ms McGuinness had charged the Find Madeleine Fund pounds 20,000 in excess of her agreed fee, which had come as a surprise to the Fund’s managers, and that following a discussion with Gerry McCann, she was forced to part company with the Fund.
We accept that Ms McGuinness did not overcharge the Fund, that she left as planned in September to meet pre-arranged commitments, and she was not forced to resign at all.
We regret any suggestion to the contrary and apologise to her for any distress and embarrassment caused. Link

Apology

IN a “Farewell Jade” supplement last week we published an aerial photograph of the burial of Jade Goody.
Although taken at some distance, and not identifying any individual in attendance, we now accept that this photograph was taken contrary to the wishes of Jade’s family who were upset by the publication of the photograph.
We apologise to them for the distress that we caused.

ON 10 August 2008 we published an article that contained details about the private life of a fitness coach, Millie Dobie, who gave a course of fitness instruction to Prime Minister Gordon Brown earlier that summer.
We now recognise that the article was intrusive, contained inaccuracies, and should not have been published. We have apologised to Ms Dobie for the distress caused by our article. We have also agreed to pay her damages and legal costs. Link
