Armitage

The subtle magic of the Shipping Forecast is celebrated in a special concert, in Belfast's Ulster Hall, featuring Radio 4's continuity announcers and a new work by poet laureate Simon Armitage.

"Thanks to this excellent news, the National Poetry Centre will become a reality," Armitage said.

North Yorkshire Police said they wanted to speak to people who knew Mrs Armitage and her family when they lived in Sprotborough, near Doncaster, and Preston, in Lancashire, between March and October 2004.

Mrs Armitage remained unidentified for 15 years until her family saw a BBC News report and came forward.

Mr Armitage, who had lived in Thailand since her death, was arrested when he returned to the UK after the Thai authorities revoked his resident visa.
