    It is usual for book companies, or TV companies to release books and DVDs when someone in the public eye dies, Princess Diana books were availble within days of her death, newly published. I assume therefore that people believe they should not be released either, maybe TV shouldn't show his old programmes the day he died (clips were being shown the next day), or is that different I wonder?

    John Lennon had a single at number 1 shortly after being murdered, was I wrong to buy that single to remember him by (gosh giving away my age here).

    When is something a tribute and when is something a memento and which is good and which is in poor taste?
