Global Coverage of Hillary death

Google News has 1,440 stories already published on the death of Sir Edmund. It is the lead story on the CNN site.

I do hope the Government offers a state funeral. It would be most appropriate and would give people locally and internationally an opportunity to pay their respects.

I imagine a senior member of the Royal Family would attend on behalf of the Queen.

UPDATE: The family have accepted the offer of a state funeral. Details next week.
