... alas, I seem to've found myself reporting the deaths of so [very] many prominent people here recently, that I'm beginning to think the forum could do with a section for 'Dying in the UK'.

, if, in the circumstances, this thread's opening paragraph comes across as being in bad taste ... but those of you who "know" me from my ramblings, will understand I'm NOT that sort of person.

Anyway ... ... to continue:

World~renowned "British" architect, Zaha Hadid, DBE - whose designs include the London Olympic Centre - has died from a heart attack.

Born in Baghdad in 1950, Dame Zaha was hailed as being ..."an inspiration to her profession".
