Stories and obituaries about Heidi

[Nicole Itano]

I've been collecting stories and obituaries about Heidi and she would be chuffed to know that news outlets from Zimbabwe to Poland to Portugal reported news of her death. It really shows the truly global reach of her influence and network of friends. 

Below is the list I've complied so far. I know there are some more obituaries planned in the next few days (in the Guardian and Telegraph, for example). Please keep sending them my way. 

And if anyone has seen a link to the Fred Brigland's obit in the Scotsman, please let me know. I couldn't find one online.
