Oh you'll still be able to watch and read them - He just won't be making or writing any more unfortunately.

His series of "War Walks" made for BBC became a landmark series , an excellent historian who captured something of the moment, shocked and saddened by news of his untimely death.

Very sad to hear this, his series War walks was superb and all his other work, such a shame.
