"A pine tree planted in LA 10 years ago in memory of George Harrison has died after an insect infestation" (Times, p13). 

I'm pleased to say that the tree, Mike's mum (Rachel) planted at their home on 12 Castle Street to celebrate his birth, is alive and well.  I made a point of checking it today because it's the eve of his birthday - so the tree will be 68 years old.  It was only when I got back home that I read about George's.
