I was at Mum & Dad's when the news about Lord Howe broke.
I couldn't help but be irritated at how often his resignation speech was mentioned, or Healey's quote that being criticised by him was like being savaged by a dead sheep.

I was not a fan of his politics, but he was an intelligent and dedicated politician, and had a distinguished career.
It reminded me of a quote after Russell Harty died and all everyone wanted to bring up was him being slapped by Grace Jones. Something along the lines of "That's like writing about St Michael and mentioning the M&S knicker department."
