A sad loss! In an era where people morn wacky celebrities whose lives mysteriously end early it is a shame there is not more tributes for this real person. Thanks Harry!

If you have ten minutes to spare, it's worth watching the whole of his speech to the 2014 Labour conference. If I am half that impassioned and articulate at his age (he was 91 when he gave that speech) I'll have a lot to be thankful for!

It would have been such an honour to shake that man's hand.

His son is intending to continue his work, his ashes and those of his wife will be scattered in Hamburg, on the Yorkshire Moors and in Canada.
