Yesterday's 5am hour (The World Today), which featured various tributes to Komla.

Tribute from the BBC Focus on Africa Team, where Komla was the main presenter, my apologies for the youtube adverts I dont know how to get rid of these.

An official facebook tribute page has been set up by the Dumor family

A memorial service celebrating the life of Komla Dumor will take place tomorrow, 1st February, in London. St. Martin-in-the-Fields at 11am.

Presumably one reason for the selection of that church is its close proximity to the South African embassy.

St. Martin-in-the-Fields is traditionally associated with the media, more recently broadcast media. I suspect the choice reflects this and it's central location. It has a history of co-operation and working with the BBC over the last 90 years too.

Indeed. Sir Alastair Burnet's memorial service was also held at St. Martins.

Tomorrow's Memorial to Komla is open to all.

Komla Dumor's memorial has just happened, and its on the @BBCAfrica twitter account...
Also, Komla's social networking accounts may have been deleted.

The Times has a formal Obituary in tomorrow's paper. An early edition version of which has just been tweeted .....
