Lord Weatherill had died
Bernard Weatherill, a former Speaker of the House has died.
I met him a couple of times when he was Speaker, and he was absolutely charming, and one of those people you just couldn't help liking.

Blimey - that must mean I'm getting old to. I keep forgetting that these politicians from the 80s will have aged. How can that be 20 years ago?
That happened when people like MacMillan died - now these are adults from my adulthood that are passing away.
They said on Radio 4 that Lord Weatherill carried a silver thimble with him at all times... to remind himself of his background as a son of a tailor.
