Each day the editor of the Northern Echo Peter Barron challenges BBC Tees to come up with a better headline for one of their stories.

Tuesday's headline challenge and The Northern Echo went with the story that the Royal Navy flagship Ark Royal has been put up for auction on the MoD website ...

The Northern Echo's headline "Sail of the Century".

BBC Tees went with "We are Selling!" (thank you Rod Stewart!)

Independent adjudicator Kerry & Peter Barron thought that today's headline from BBC Tees was unbeatable !!

The score stands at 3-1 to BBC Tees.
