Baroness Doreen Lawrence feels “profoundly betrayed”, the High Court has heard at the start of the trial in her claim against the publisher of the Daily Mail.

The peer, best known for her campaigning after the racist murder of her 18-year-old son Stephen Lawrence, is one of a group of household names bringing legal action against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), which also publishes the Mail On Sunday.
