Daphne Dunne aged 99. So sad, she seemed like a lovely old soul, but you can't complain about reaching 99.

I read today that she died so the Sussex baby could be born, or words to that effect. I also heard on the news that the Sussexes will be writing privately to her family. 99, a good innings indeed.
