I also see that Hugh Scully died on Thursday at his home in Cornwall aged 72.

Hugh Scully presented Antiques Roadshow he was asked to give up the show because he was selling Antiques on the internet.

AnnCardiff - The corpse of Oliver Cromwell was exhumed, beheaded & hung up with chains.

Unlike Jimmy Savile, the authorities of the time were competent enough to remember where Oliver was initially buried. Just saying!

Death is a depressingly inevitable consequence of life - politicians included.

Well, its only to be expected. No one can live for ever. Its just a case of timing. There's never a 'good time' to go.

Must be a bad time for elderly politicians after Dennis Healey we now have Geoffrey Howe at the age of 88 dying of a suspected heart attack.

Breaking news on BBC about Sir Geoffrey.

Not a politician but read the news - Gordon Honeycombe has died aged 79 in Australia.

One of those days :-(
