Clare Hollingworth RIP

Clare Hollingworth, the reporter who broke the story of the German invasion of Poland, the act that started the Second World War, has died at the great age of 105. Hollingsworth went on to report in war zones including Algeria, Vietnam and the Middle East in a long and illustrious career in journalism.

"I enjoy action," Hollingworth once told the BBC. "I enjoy being in a plane that's bombing something..."

It is always heartening to hear of somebody who really enjoys what they do for a living.
