There was an item on BBC News, but mainly to say that Queen Elizabeth was now the longest reigning monarch.

There are some very intriguing "by-stories" regarding the mourning for the Thai king.
For instance:
tv stations have been broadcasting in black and white and all television channels must mainly run coverage dedicated to the King and his life until further notice.

Stores sell mainly black clothing; even mall mannequins are draped in black. Colorful items are gone altogether or relegated to clearance racks.

Even the red-light districts are nearly empty and nightlife is closed for a month(tourists are complaining smiley - grr)

All very interesting .....

Have just read that June Alexander (Hilda Ogden off Corrie) has died. Don't think she was on anyone's list. Am in a hurry for work - can anyone back this up?

It's Jean Alexander, and, yes, on no-one's list:

She was a pick in earlier games of previous players Emmily, Fizzymouse, McKay The Disorganised and Radox The Green, but no-one chose her for this year's list.

Tom Hayden in case anyone had ever heard of him. Back in the 1960s he was famous for leading the Vietnam protests. I vaguely remember the name.

Leonard Cohen: Not on anyone's list. I suppose we all thought he was immortal. Then again, he was only 82.

His last album is amazing! Interestingly there are definite hints on the album that he was aware of his mortality and had come to terms with it.

I'm slightly ashamed that the demise of comics artist Steve Dillon (best known for Preacher) completely escaped my notice: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/nov/01/steve-dillon-obituary
