We are sad to hear that the distinguished photographer Martin Parr has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

PERSON OF THE DAY. 6 December 1988. Roy Orbison (“The Big-O”) died (aged 52). He was one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest vocalists. Rolling Stone placed him at No 13 on its list of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time”. His death came when his music was enjoying a renaissance.
