Really is sad news, fantastically knowledgeable man.

And you know Phil Harding? He's brilliant. Met him in...I think it was bristol. Waiting to watch a game of rugby. Offered to buy him a drink for my love of time team and he sat talking rugby with me and my dad for ages before the game.

Phil is local to me, we have the occasional drink together and we have known each other for some time. He is a down to earth and really nice chap. He plays a mean guitar as well.
