One old lady chose the morning of last year's London bombings (round one) to die in an unbelievably horrific fashion:

The injuries sustained by Hilda Reinhart were so severe she had to be identified by her Nectar card, jewellery and CCTV footage, Westminster Coroners Court heard last Thursday.

Miss Reinhart of Fulwood Walk, West Hill, was attempting to cross Buckhold Road in Wandsworth at 9.55am on July 7 when she was run over by an articulated lorry, a second lorry and a small van.

The court heard how Miss Reinhart's brain and organs were strewn across the road in a statement from a London Ambulance Service paramedic.

Apparently the lorry drivers knew nothing of the incident, since Miss Reinhart had failed to make sufficient impact on the vehicles for them to realise they'd hit something.

On a happier note there'll be a full report on last night's Duke of Edinburgh's award bash in Kent, with our very own Miss Amy Kennedy, from me in the near future (and possibly from her), not to mention something on tonight's Idiotchild gig in Oxford.
