Not medieval, but James II was dissected when he died in exile in France in 1701. Bits of him ended up in four different places, but most were lost during the French Revolution.

Even more scathing, given that Boris Johnson used to edit The Spectator for several years - he even carried on doing so when he first became an MP.

I've a music industry contact in LA who should be able to confirm in an hour or two, once they wake up over there.

They're just showing a montage of patriotic songs at the moment, nothing more. News usually goes out at 5pm local time, which is just over an hour away.

Korea Central TV, North Korea's only station, is oddly on air at the moment. The station is usually off air on Saturdays, which makes it strange. They're showing a pre-recorded propaganda puff piece at the moment. Something is obviously up - a coup perhaps?

Ronan O'Rahilly, founder of Radio Caroline, has died aged 79 according to the station's Twitter account.

I'm not happy either - my DDP joker is someone who had a crash at the TT last year!

Dead.

Steve Weber of the Holy Modal Rounders died back in February, aged 76.

I acquired 17 jazz CDs yesterday - McCoy Tyner plays on at least six of those - he could be on a few other under a pseudonym.

That’s me. I noticed he was missing episodes, yet was still appearing in the show’s titles. His Twitter account revealed that he was ‘ill’ but was hoping to return later. That never happened, and his illness may be why the show is currently off air.

Mick Avory of the Kinks was one of the Tuxedos, but I'm not sure if he played on the single. Of course it's possible that they used session musicians for the recording anyway.

I may be able to help regarding some of the minor acts.
