Sir John Hurt, who won Oscar nominations for the Elephant Man and captured the hearts of millions for his roles in Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, has died.

The star, one of Britain’s most treasured actors, died aged 77 at his home in Norfolk after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, it was revealed today.

His widow, Anwen Hurt, today said it will be ‘a strange world’ with out the actor, whose death has prompted an outpouring of grief from the showbusiness industry, with director Mel Brooks and J K Rowling among those paying tribute.

Mrs Hurt added: ‘John was the most sublime of actors and the most gentlemanly of gentlemen with the greatest of hearts and the most generosity of spirit. He touched all our lives with joy and magic and it will be a strange world without him.’ 

Sir John was well known for roles including Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant, the title role in The Elephant Man and wand merchant Mr Ollivander in the Harry Potter films.

‘There’s just no point in being bitter’: Young woman’s remarkable bravery after her ‘heartburn’ diagnosis turns out to be advanced pancreatic cancer

  • Kerry Harvey, 23, developed pains in her abdomen in December last year

  • She visited doctors repeatedly as pain worsened and she was given diagnoses ranging from a suspected miscarriage to stomach ulcers

  • In March she was rushed to hospital where a scan revealed she was suffering with cancer so advanced doctors didn’t know where it originated

  • In April she was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer, the same type that Apple founder Steve Jobs suffered from

  • Disease has spread to her liver and bones and doctors say it is incurable

  • She is now undergoing palliative chemotherapy and doing well – her bones are cancer-free and the tumour on her pancreas has shrunk

A young woman who was told by doctors that her crippling stomach pains were probably heartburn or a stomach ulcer is now battling advanced pancreatic cancer.

When Kerry Harvey, 23, from Chichester, West Sussex, was eventually diagnosed with stage four cancer, it had spread to her liver and bones and doctors said there was little they could do for her.

But to everyone’s relief, she is responding well to palliative treatment. Her latest scan revealed the tumour on her pancreas has shrunk, that her liver has become less cancerous and that the cancer has entirely retreated from her bones.

Beat the heat! Inventors create water fountains for DOGS and portable humidifiers to help families cope with the hot weather

  • The Doggie Fountain, or Koolinater, connects to a standard water hose

  • When a dog steps on the paddle it sprays a jet of water into the pet’s face

  • The Mini Mister humidifier fits onto a water bottle and sprays cool vapour

  • It’s small enough to be used in a car, office or bedroom for up to 8 hours

Never mind heat wave, how’s this for a brain wave: an Illinois-based design company has created a paw-activated water fountain for dogs.

The Doggie Fountain, dubbed Koolinator, attaches to a standard garden hose and provides thirsty pets with a supply of fresh running water to help them keep cool in hot weather.

It can also be used in place of a water bowl to make sure your pets are not left without a drink when you’re at work, especially with the hot temperatures set to continue.

The super scanner that could kill off queues at the supermarket, and spell the end of ‘unexpected items in the bagging area’

No one likes to queue. Even the British who, it’s often joked, invented the orderly line, are getting sick of it. Recent research suggests most Britons are now prepared to tolerate queueing for only four minutes.

Yet the average British shopper spends a painful 53 minutes a month in supermarket queues. Together with all the time spent waiting for buses and trains, it mounts up to nearly six months of queueing in a lifetime. Haven’t we got anything better to do?

No wonder, then, that stores spend millions of pounds trying to reduce their customers’ queueing time.

First came barcode scanners, then the super-irritating self-service checkouts made famous for their constant refrain of ‘unexpected item in the bagging area’. But now all the waits and irritation could be in the past with the arrival of the Rapid Scan.

Supplements such as fish oils and the memory-boosting herb gingko biloba do not prevent cognitive decline, according to new research.

But simple mental exercises, such as brain-training games, might help.

A review of clinical studies has found no evidence that herbal supplements, vitamins and even  vitamins prevent cognitive decline in healthy older adults.

However the review, conducted by St Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Canada, did find evidence that enjoying a challenging crossword or sudoku may be of benefit.

The Western diet really IS a killer: People who eat white bread, butter and red meat are most likely to die young

The typical Western diet, high in fat and sugar, really does lead to an early grave, new research suggests.

A study of more than 5,000 civil servants found those who ate the most fried and sweet food, processed and red meat, white bread and butter and cream doubled their risk of premature death or ill health in old age.

It adds to evidence that ‘Western style food’ is the reason why heart disease claims about fried and sweet food, processed and red meat, white bread and butter and cream in the UK – more than any other illness.

The findings published in The American Journal of Medicine are based on a survey of British adults and suggest adherence to the diet increases the risk of premature death and disability later in life.

Lymphoedema — painful swelling in the limbs — is a common side-effect of treatment for breast cancer, but also blights the lives of thousands of men with conditions such as prostate cancer.

Stuart Elcock, 69, a retired civil servant from Buckinghamshire, underwent a new procedure for tackling it.
