Farewell DJ Derek

This may be slightly off topic but the funeral of DJ Derek, the UK's oldest reggae DJ, took place at the end of this week. If you want to hear a good news race relations story then this is for you.

I've seen him live and can confirm that he really knew how to work an audience mainly comprised of people 50 years younger than himself.

RIP Derek
