Obituary: selfies 1900-2013

Selfies, the self-portrait photographs popularized by camera phones, have died after Ed Miliband said they were his “new thing”.


It’s the final nail in the coffin – now that cringey Cameron and pleb Miliband have killed the selfie, it’s time to commemorate the best self-taken snaps of the year. It might be all over, but in a final farewell, we bring you the best selfies of 2013.
