Historical FTSE dividend yield / Total Return

Derivative

I am looking for a spreadsheet or indexed list of the total return of the FTSE 100, 250, or All-Share. Any or all of them would be fine.

It is very simple to find a list of capital value but not of historical dividend yield or total return. Best I've managed to find is a flash player graph of total return over 20 years, not very useful.

in other words, the index has risen
by roughly 502% over 27 years and
four months, which averages out at
a gain of nearly 7% a year. Add in an
extra, say, 2.5% a year for dividends
and the FTSE 100 has generated an
average annual return of over 9%
since 1984.

for first link use CAGR calculator for total geometric annual average.

oops i meant 2.5% - 3.5% roughly being long term average(depending on type of average, time period etc). The ftse high willl be in the links that i provided ofc.

There is an index which covers FTSE 100 index + divs.

The ticker is UKX.TR or UKXNUK.L on Yahoo

Unfortunately I don't think it is freely available anywhere and Yahoo data is very limited.
