Beloved singer, song writer, poet, novelist. Age 82. Fare Well, Wherever You Fare, Leonard. The world is a poorer place without you.

First item on the BBC radio news this morning, with a lengthy session after the bulletin. Also top item on the BBC news web site, with a link to other material, including an obit.

RIP Chapecoense football team
This is a stark reminder of the Munich crash for me as I am a United supporter.

I was reminded of the Uruguayan rugby team that crashed in the Andes in the 1970s.
There were family members on board as well as the team.
About 1/3 survived.

A pretty decent movie called "Alive" was made about the disaster.
