A New Orleans-style funeral has been held for a respected jazz musician "taken much too soon".Hundreds of people joined a marching band and a colourful umbrella parade to celebrate the life of Jeremy Huggett, who died in September at the age of 57.Mr Huggett enjoyed a long association with Bristol's famous jazz pub, The Old Duke, collecting glasses from the age of nine and performing there every fortnight for many years.

Friends, family and fellow musicians said his death was a "great loss for the jazz world".Mr Huggett's wife, Maria, said: "It's not mournful, a jazz funeral, it's happy and a celebration.

"It's a celebration of his life. Taken much too soon."

In these early days, his past will be heavily scrutinised. His political views examined, his track record on dealing with abuse dissected, and his comments over the years on social issues charted.Much of this is already in the public domain so it can only be assumed that the cardinal electors felt there was nothing of enough consequence to impair his ability to lead the Catholic Church and be the global moral voice they were looking for.

Huge challenges lie ahead. But with resolution after just four conclave votes, he starts out with a strong mandate from the men he will need the most through his papacy.Job vacancies have fallen to the lowest level in nearly four years, suggesting demand for workers is weakening as employment costs grow.
