Everyone who met him loved him. Mark and I are heartbroken, but dear Bunsen passed away this afternoon. He was the best friend we could have wished for - and he did running through fields of wheat better than anyone. Sleep well, darling boy. xx

The arts bailout from @OliverDowden & @RishiSunak is of course very welcome, but *please* can we drop the “world-beating” rhetoric? France have given €7billion. It’s a global pandemic. Can’t we co-operate with the rest of the world, rather than trying to “beat” them? @BBCr4today

So sad to hear that the wonderful Una Stubbs has left us. She was charming, mischievous, totally self-deprecating and so, so kind to boot. She was the ultimate Mrs Hudson and she’ll leave a huge gap in the lives of all her friends and family. RIP. Xx
