It was a privilege to work for Brian Walden and to know him He set the standard for political interviewing. He was a wonderful extempore speaker, one of the best in the post war HoC, had an encyclopaedic knowledge of politics, and much else, was charming, and great fun.

Very sad. I knew Phil from his days on the FT to his time in No 10 and beyond. Always decent and straightforwardeven in the most difficult of political times. A good person to deal with on Weekend World and On the Record. https://t.co/GQqVxixHiy

@British_Airways Bag eventually arrived at 7.30 this morning. So 36 hours to get from Munich airport to centre, a journey of 45 minutes.

[David Jordan @BBCDavidJordan]

Ironically bag reached Munich airport at 6 pm yesterday, so has now taken longer to get from airport to centre than from Heathrow to Munich

[David Jordan @BBCDavidJordan]

28 hours after arriving at Heathrow in the middle of T5 baggage meltdown still awaiting delivery of bag to centre of Munich @British_Airways

@alstewitn @UKCV Trevor Locke was President in 1973/74, the year I was Vice- President. I lost track of him subsequently.

So sad to hear of the death of John Cole. Worked with him on BBC1's On The Record from its inception. Great journalist and lovely man.
