I hope you all had a great family day. Some good news for turkeys in the UK today, the turkey tycoon Bernard Matthews has died at the age of 80.
The farmer and businessman - best known for his "bootiful" catchphrase - made a multi-million pound fortune through his vast poultry company and is widely credited with bringing cheap turkey meat to the masses.
You have to admire the guy,Bernard Matthews began with a humble £2.50p investment in 1950 with 12 turkey eggs and an incubator in the heart of Norfolk. It grew into the biggest turkey processor in Europe.
