There's something terribly idiosyncratic - very British, somehow - about this: how an obituary of a fish can make it onto the front page of a national newspaper.

But that's what's happened today: a fabulous picture of Benson, Britain's best-loved carp (1984-2009) adorns the front page of The Times. More on the iconic creature here.
