I can honestly say I was devastated this morning when I flipped to the back pages of the Evening Times when I arrived for work. I had not got into my bed until 4am after returning from a film premiere in Edinburgh last night, but it was not for lack of sleep that I was getting a wee bit emotional this morning.
