Family and friends farewelled Dr Ellice Hammond, 37, at a funeral service yesterday, the same day anti-solarium campaigner Clare Oliver succumbed to melanoma.

Yes, they had been - Clare Oliver far more than the other woman, in fact.

Clare’s courageous fight against her melanoma was a major news story and very impressive, as were her attempts to warn other people of the dangers she believed existed, whether you accepted her thesis regarding the cause of her cancer or not.

And her death was a major news story - even the Prime Minister commented on it.
