You may have heard that the first same-sex couple to form a civil partnership in England will not be Elton John and David Furnish, but was a couple one of whom was terminally ill and who died the next day; their ceremony was advanced because of his illness. Here is their story.

That is an awesome story; and you just made me tear-up at work. ;)

I was quite moved by this story when I read the Beeb's quiet factual account a couple of days after he died. This story from The Independent, which is based on an interview with the widow a couple of weeks later, is orders of magnitude more so. We should all be so loved.
