BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Elton John
When I wrote that song, I was thinking of old Elton John . . . and his classic little piano motif
said McLaughlin
The 'Bennie and the Jets' groove is an institution ... I spent the first half of my career trying to carve out my own niche, and I didn't care to be compared to Elton John, because when you're younger, that's who you don't want to be compared to. But after a while, it's only right to tip the hat. . . . I wanted to show my appreciation to who came before me.
said Ben Folds
You get used to people kind of identifying glasses as the John Lennon style, or an Elton John or even Larry King's black Bvlgari style, but I think we were totally unprepared for what Sarah Palin was going to bring to the fashion eyewear industry ... It's been really a phenomenon.
said Beth Young
I had agreed to go see Elton John in concert with [Jamie] in New Orleans. Of course, Elton John was and is my favorite singer...

I don't do flashy. I just sing, play the piano and write songs. I like classic rock a lot — Elton John and the Eagles, Billy Joel and Van Morrison.

Our customers showed they were fans of Elton John by the success we had with the Dream Ticket DVD Set. After seeing that Elton had created The Red Piano we wanted to help the show get to all of Elton's fans who might not have had the chance to see the show live or who want to see it again from the best seat in the house ... We are especially excited that Elton has made The Red Piano a 'must have' for fans of music by including the two CD live audio soundtrack from the collection to help Elton's music from the show, fit into fans' lives.

We met [O’Donnell] at Elton John’s 60th birthday party ... She told us when she was in Fiddler on the Roof with Harvey Fierstein-now I’m just trying to get as many gay names into this sentence as possible-she bought our DVD and gave it to every member of the cast and crew. She is responsible for all the DVD sales in America.
