We don't listen to the radio (no reception) and we don't get any paper... so the first we heard of it was when we went down to help with the setting up/marshalling of the Elite National Time Trial Competition... one of our fellow club members told us.

We flew the flag at half-mast at the prize giving.

We watched one of the documentaries about the conquering of the mountain... my youngest two knew a-surprising-lot... they have been taught well at school
