Reported on BBC News this evening, complete with comments from Tony Blair, and others.

As it traditional, in such circumstances, all favourable of course.

Moderately lovable old bruiser (in retrospect).

There is an RIP thread over in the other place.
You can discuss politics sometimes!

Coming from you, that's an 11/10, man of the decade stuff!

Funny thing is ...

Men will be remembering when he punched a guy.
Women will be remembering that he cheated on his wife.

I still quite liked him. RIP John.

Twirling Tracey above his head on the dance floor was pretty impressive. Total Sex Machine!
