WRIGHT LEAVES FORTUNE TO THREE CHILDREN

Late PINK FLOYD star RICK WRIGHT left the majority of his estate to his three children - but failed to mention his three former wives in his will.
The keyboardist made a $26 million (£24 million) fortune during his career with the rock legends, as well as with his solo projects.
He died in September 2008 aged 65 following a short battle with cancer.
In documents obtained by Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, Wright decided to leave most of his fortune to his offspring, James, 42, Gala, 39, and Ben, who was born the year before he died.
However, the musician's three former wives, Juliette, Franka and Mildred - who separated from Wright in the months before his death - will not receive any money from his estate.
It is believed the trio had settlements arranged with the star following their splits. None of them are said to be disputing the will.
And in real rock star tradition, Wright put aside $30,000 (£20,000) so his friends and family could have a "real good party", which will be arranged by his two eldest children.
James and Gala were also left Wright's house in France.
