Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

We've heard from many people who are interested in attending memorials in the United Kingdom or the United States – but Dr. Jane's wishes were that people honour her locally.

We're planning an official memorial event, which the public can attend in person and online.

There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.
