So Pinochet has finally died, never brought to justice.

His funeral could be interesting, if it's a state one.

Margaret Beckett's response on behalf of the Foreign Office (and hence Her Majesty's current government) was a bit less gushing (according to the PA story):

"We note the passing of General Pinochet and want to pay tribute to the remarkable progress that Chile has made over the last 15 years as an open, stable and prosperous democracy."
