Sad news as this week as we lost a friend of the show. You may remember John Leishman, he was an extraordinary man who had lived a full and amazing life including storming the beaches at Normandy during World War Two. John would have been 95 years of age in a couple of weeks - and what a wonderful wee man he was, who touched the hearts of many, and who will be sadly missed - John Leishman, will be laid to rest later this morning. Stephen was joined by Reverend Mark Harvey who will be conducting the funeral and Michael Wardlow of the Equality Commission, who was a friend of John's.
