This personally was very sad news, my favourite author, and as many tributes have said, much more than just a 'spy novelist', he was a great storyteller and chronicler of post-war Britain, in particular Englishness and the decaying ruling class.

Fascinating man who led a fascinating life.

Tommy Docherty. One time manager of Manchester United and had an exciting young team in the 70's. Reminded me one one of my favourite matches of that era.

There a programme on Radio 4 tomorrow at 20:00 about his life. I suppose deciding to become an Irish citizen was his best way of showing how much his disapproved of Brexit.

And he was spot on about the difference between patriotism and nationalism...
