The latest we have is that he will arrive at Heathrow about 6.30pm Saturday. Expected arrival up here about 1am, after the formalities this end. There is a guy who has gone out there to accompany Ian home, and who is working himself into the ground at the moment. The poor man is nearly dead on his feet.
It appears there IS a fund set up. Ian's company are making investigations about the best way to transfer money to it via their Moscow office. The company are also compiling a file of letters of condolence that they have received. A representative will be bringing it to the funeral.

Just had a nice chat with Tig on the phone. I have come down with a cold (immune system has bottomed out, I suppose) and she's been mother hen-ing me!
