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.

He has my respect, may he rest in peace.
