Like many people I have been following Ivan Noble's diaries on the BBC website. The dairies follow his fight with cancer. For about 18 months I have been reading the thought provoking words posted every 2-4 weeks.

Today I heard that Ivan has died.

I submitted this to the Your Tributes page:

Ivan

You have touched many people with your honest and frank diary, me included. Thanks for sharing.

I truly hope that your son, who you lived to see born last year, and daughter inherit your strength, courage and compassion. They will surely go far.

Take care up there.

Paul
