The Ainley Top Bandstand has been informed of the death of Wile E. Coyote, star of the Roadrunner cartoons.
Coyote retired from cartoon work in 2007 and took up a position on the cornet bench at the Much Piddling (Buy One Get One Free) Band. He helped them to noteable successes, including third place at the Roehampton March & Bare Knuckle Brawling Contest in 2009.
He was killed when an unknown assailant painted a pretend tunnel on a rock face and he rode into it on rocket powered roller skates.
