Its being reported that Georgio Armani has died - shell suits will be worn at half mast in Liverpool today as a mark of respect.

It is, isn't it? I'd not heard anything before about the school stuff.

I shook her hand once as she gave me my degree at Leeds Uni. Always seemed like a nice and humble woman. RIPReally I think she should have her own thread, but I'll post this in here

She has a very, very tenuous connection to City. We played Norwich away once and she was unveiling their new stand.Really I think she should have her own thread, but I'll post this in here

It sticks in my mind because as she walked out on a red carpet with the teams lined up either side, bowing their heads in respect, Perry Suckling started playing a pretend trumpet along to the national anthem.
She was lovely. A real "lady" who struggled with life at times but never moaned and tried to give light and warmth to others.
I'd always admired her.
She suffered awful bouts of depression after she lost her baby, something she never got over. She spent an awful lot of her time comforting those suffering grief and devoting time to elderly who can be very lonely. A truly wonderful lady.
Makes you realise how sodding fake some of those who cry out to be noticed, and to be seen as "influencers" are.
If you have to get credit, you aren't genuine. IMHO.

she strikes me as someone who married for love and found herself in circles she just didn't want. Loved tennis and music so made that her life and the story of Mrs Kent in a school in Hull is charming. I saw today pictures of our future queen under a brolly in the rain whilst the kids at the school she was visiting got soaked - never enquired where their brollies were - and I though it contrasted sharply with the music teacher story and made me think.
That's actually not true. She was the one who told officials to get the kids out of the rain.
"it started to rain, Catherine held up her umbrella over some of the children, telling the teachers: "Let them go in, let's take them inside, it's pouring."
