Whilst NOK may have been informed the MOD takes their wishes into account before releasing names. Some ask for 24hr grace period to allow them to inform their own friends and families some ask for the name not to be released. Whilst I understand the viewpoint that it may seem like a British Servicemans death is no longer news, the MOD and the Media may be respecting the NOK wishes by keeping it low key or indeed no news. Some people wish to grieve in private and don't want names and pictures spread across the front pages or be a news lead item.

Anyway, back to media bashing ....
