News of the World editor Colin Myler addressed the staff at the News of the World for the final time on Saturday following the completion of the last edition, and then "banged them out" on his own as they left the offices. Banging out is an old Fleet Street tradition in which printers would bang metal hammers and rulers against the desks as a long-standing member of staff left for the last time.
