Reaction to the news that former England football manager Graham Taylor has died.

News of the death of former England football manager Graham Taylor broke during the programme.

News of the death of former England Manager Graham Taylor broke near the start of today's programme. BBC Football reporter Pat Murphy was first to react to the news of his death at the age of 72, describing him as "a gentleman". Tributes then began pouring in from former players, managers and the Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers Association Graham Taylor. Lawrie McMenemy, who was Graham's assistant when he was England manager, described him as "a good solid fella".

Rock and roll photographer Jill Furmanovsky came in to talk about her exhibition of photographs of Oasis, on display at Manchester Central Library. She's photographed Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, the Sex Pistols and many, many others. 

Nihal was live at the Carr Gate police training complex in Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Every year new recruits and serving officers go there to learn how to use firearms, drive high performance police cars, handle dogs, and deal with riots and domestic abuse. With fewer officers, changing demographics and new challenges like cybercrime to deal with, Nihal was asking how we build a police force that's ready for the 21st Century?
