A student rag magazine with a page of sick jokes about Diana, Princess of Wales, was pulped after causing public outrage.

Queen's University Belfast students were yesterday forced to scrap thousands of copies of the magazine, PTQ, which had gone on sale featuring a dozen tasteless jokes about the death of the princess and Dodi Fayed.

The Students' Union issued an apology to the princess's family and opened an investigation into how the jokes came to be printed.
