I COULDN'T agree more with William Billing (Messenger 13-10-16, 'State funeral a bit OTT'). Who does this celeb think he is speaking for all regarding any politician. I don't want any of the 'luvvies' speaking out for me.

Caroline Aherne was a fantastic writer and comedienne, I went to school with her and she will be missed by many.

That said Ricky, don't use this sad loss to promote your political views. Nobody is interested.
