Bill Deedes has died. He was 94.

We had dinner together at the Bodeguita del Medio when he was in Havana doing a story on Fidel, and he was great - funny, witty, totally on the ball; a real character.  I took to him immediately when he paid the restaurant's house band not to play on our floor.

I hope Peter Cook is amongst those waiting to greet him.

I wish I'd met him - what an amazing life he had.
