Matthew Bannister presents Radio 4's obituary programme, analysing and reflecting on the lives of people who have recently died.
On Last Word this week:
Peter Heathfield. As General Secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers he stood four square behind Arthur Scargill - who pays tribute - during the strike of the 1980s.
Also the singer and actress Lena Horne who rose above racial discrimination to become an international star.
The ultra Orthodox Rabbi Moshe Hirsch, who was strongly opposed to Zionism and the state of Israel and became an advisor to Yasser Arafat.
Marguerite Garden the fourteen year old girl who carried secret messages for the French resistance and saved the lives of many British airmen.
And Peter O'Donnell who created the cartoon adventures of Modesty Blaise - the daring action woman with fans around the world.
