The death of Mikhail Gorbachev (aged 91) - a genuine giant (in terms of political and historical significance), an intelligent, thoughtful man, who was personable, attractive, courageous, ethical, decent and principled (and a truly devoted husband and father, that is, a "family man" whom this hackneyed term described accurately) - a political leader who was a hero of mine, a man whose political perspective and vision expressed tolerance, decency and generosity - was announced this evening.
RIP Mr Gorbachev: You left the world - the whole world, and not just your personal and professional corner of it - a considerably better place than you found it, which is something that not many of us can claim. A legend.
