John Le Carre has died today. My favourite author, I’ve read and loved so many of his novels. The Karla trilogy is a work of patient genius while The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is an exciting high speed rollercoaster. Many other fantastic books in between. RIP to a great one.
Charley Pride the country singer died yesterday RIP

Really brought back the winning mentality, that treble season I will never forget.

It was his side that won the Champions League in 2005. But in the league he was unlucky to be facing the United side at that time.

Actress Rosalind Knight - whose credits include early Carry on films and Channel 4's Friday Night Dinner - has died aged 87, her family has said.
The TV, film and theatre actress appeared in Carry On Teacher and Carry On Nurse in the 1950s.
More recently, she played the character known as "Horrible Grandma" in Channel 4 comedy show Friday Night Dinner.
In a statement, her family said the "well-loved" actress who had a "glorious career" died on Saturday.
Her other screen credits include 1957's Blue Murder At St Trinian's, where she played a schoolgirl and a teacher in The Wildcats Of St Trinian's in 1980.
She also starred as retired prostitute Beryl in BBC sitcom Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, which ran from 1999 to 2001, with Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus.
Knight's family said in their statement: "She was known to so many generations, for so many different roles, and will be missed as much by the kids today who howl at Horrible Grandma in Friday Night Dinner as by those of us who are old enough to remember her in the very first Carry On films."
Her daughters, theatre director Marianne Elliott and actress Susannah Elliott, said she would be remembered for her "immense spirit and sense of fun, and her utter individuality".

TV sitcom Bread's Lilo Lil actress dies at 73
Actress Eileen Pollock, best known for playing Lilo Lil in 1980s TV sitcom Bread, has died at the age of 73.
Pollock, from Belfast, played Freddie Boswell's brassy mistress in the hit comedy about a large Liverpool family.
She also had a long stage career and appeared in such films as Far and Away, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and Mike Leigh's Four Days in July.
Her agents said she was "truly a powerhouse of an actor, with huge generosity and spirit".
Pollock trained as a translator, once joking that she "could have been a Eurocrat with a Porsche in every European capital city".
But her first love was theatre. After moving to London, she worked backstage at the Bush Theatre, getting her break when an actress announced she would not be able to go on the following night.
Pollock was sent home with the script to learn the part. "It was really scary - but I did it," she said.
When she auditioned for Bread, the producers wanted the character to be from Liverpool - but Pollock convinced them she should be Irish.
"The reason I said that was because I had been trying out my Liverpool accent on the taxi driver on the way to the audition and he asked me which part of Australia I came from. I thought then that I'd be better off sticking to what I knew."
She got the part, and Bread ran from 1986-91, attracting 21 million viewers at its peak in 1988.
She said she didn't mind being associated with the character. "I disbelieve actors who say 'I want rid of that image'," she told the Northern Echo in 2004.
"People will always remember me as Lilo Lil and it's wonderful. I like it when someone says in a supermarket, 'You know who you remind me of, don't take offence, that tart from Bread'."
When she got her first Hollywood role, it was as brothel keeper Molly Kay in 1992's Far and Away.
"It amused Jean Boht [Nellie Boswell] from Bread," the actress recalled. "She said I had been promoted from a tart in the TV series."
Her other film credits included 1999's Angela's Ashes, and she played the title role in BBC Radio 4 comedy The Pamela Myers Show in 1995.

Gerry and the Pacemakers singer Gerry Marsden, whose version of You'll Never Walk Alone became a football terrace anthem for his hometown club of Liverpool, has died at the age of 78.
Friend Pete Price said on Sunday that the singer died after a short illness.
Marsden's band was one of the biggest success stories of the Merseybeat era, and in 1963 became the first to have their first three songs top the chart.
The second was Ferry Cross The Mersey, written by Marsden.
Marsden was made an MBE in 2003 for services to charity after supporting victims of the Hillsborough disaster.
