(BBC) The final wish of cult US writer Hunter S Thompson, to have his ashes fired from a giant cannon, will be granted in a ceremony later this year.

The author, who committed suicide in February at the age of 67, said on several occasions that he would like an artillery send-off for his remains.

The ceremony will take place at his home in Aspen, Colorado in August. [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
