A former BBC presenter who became the voice of the 'mind the gap' announcements on the London Underground has died of cancer.

Phil Sayer, 62, whose voice was heard on most of the automated PA systems on railway stations across the UK, died on Thursday.
Mr Sayer presented a daily show on BBC GMR - now Radio Manchester - in the 1980s and also read regional TV news.
He and his wife Elinor Hamilton later set up a company as voice-over artists.
Writing on their Facebook page, she said: "Phil Sayer - voice of reason, radio, and railways. A dearly loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.
"We are sorry to announce that this service terminates here."
Mr Sayer's website announced in March that he was retiring from voicing "due to a sudden decline in health".
Former BBC Radio Manchester colleague Mike Sweeney, said: "He was very, very funny and always made me laugh.
"I remember trying to have a serious conversation with him and it was difficult to do.
"He was always trying to make something humorous but in a very pithy sort of way."


Login names and passwords for more than 98 million users of the Russian Rambler.ru email service have reportedly been stolen and put online.

The data included email addresses and passwords that had been stored without any protection, a security firm said.
Leaked Source said the massive cache of credentials dated from 2012 but had only now been leaked and put online.
And it had come from a hacker who had supplied security firms with 43 million user names from music service Last.fm.
Rambler has been described as the Russian equivalent of Yahoo as it offers email services as well as acting as a news and content hub for its users.
"We know about that database," said the service in a statement.
"It was leaked March 2014 and contained millions of accounts. Right after the accident we forced our users to change their passwords.
"We also have forbidden to use the previously used passwords for the same account."
Leaked Source broke the news about the breach and said it had verified some of the data with the help of Russian journalists. .
Leaked Source said passwords associated with login names had been stored with "no encryption or hashing". Instead, it said, they had been listed in plain text.
Analysis of the long list of passwords showed that "asdasd" was the most popular string, used by more than 723,000 people, it said.
The second most popular password among the 98 million users was "asdasd123".
In June this year, details of more than 100 million users of the Russian VK.com service were shared online.
Copies of the long list of login names and passwords was offered online at a price of one bitcoin (Â£456).

David Cameron's promise of a law against increasing income tax until 2020 was devised "on the hoof", one of his advisers at the time has revealed.

Ameet Gill, who ran Downing Street events planning for the former prime minister, called it "probably the dumbest economic policy" possible.
The measure is now law and also applies to VAT and national insurance.
At the time Labour described it as a "last-minute gimmick", saying it would make it harder to tackle the deficit.
But before the election, Mr Cameron said: "I have seen the books. I know what needs to be done." Working people had "paid enough tax" and should "be able to keep more of the money to spend as you choose," he added.
With the government's so-called "five-year tax lock" in place, the basic rate of income tax - subject to variations in people's personal allowances - will remain at 20% until after the next general election, scheduled for May 2020. And the rate stays at 40% for earnings between Â£43,001 and Â£150,000 and 45% for earnings above that.
National Insurance and VAT rates are also not allowed to rise until 2020.
Mr Gill, who was in charge of the "Grid", outlining Downing Street's planning agenda, from 2011 to 2015, told BBC Radio 4's Week in Westminster: "Sometimes when a vacuum is there, it makes the government do some stupid things.
"When I was in government, we made some announcements on the hoof just to fill that vacuum."
He added: "Towards the end of the general election campaign in 2015, we did the five-year tax lock. It's when we committed to put in legislation that we would not increase taxes.
"It was probably the dumbest economic policy that anyone could make, but we kind of cooked it up on the hoof a couple of days before, because we had a hole in the grid and we needed to fill it."
In its 2015 general election manifesto, launched on 14 April of that year, the Conservative Party promised "no increases in VAT, income tax or national insurance".
Two weeks later, Mr Cameron added to this when he gave a speech promising to create a law preventing ministers from going back on this pledge.
The tax lock is now law until 2020, when the next election is scheduled to happen, unless Parliament votes to overturn it.
For Labour, then shadow chancellor Ed Balls said before the last election that he doubted the Conservatives could meet their target of balancing the government's books by 2020 - and that the tax lock would make this more difficult.
Chancellor Philip Hammond has since dropped the deficit target, arguing it will be tackled "in due course".
Week in Westminster is on BBC Radio 4 from 11:00 BST and is available after broadcast on the BBC iPlayer and the programme's own website.


Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced its latest Range Rover model will be built exclusively at its West Midlands plant.

The Velar will be made at JLR's Solihull factory, completing a £1.5bn investment at the site.
The fourth Range Rover model sits alongside other launches - the Jaguar F-PACE and the new Land Rover Discovery.
The Velar is expected to go on sale in July in the UK and Europe.
The Velar is the first Range Rover to be designed since the Evoque in 2011 and will sell in the UK at around £45,000. It will also exported more than 170 markets..
Range Rovers have been built at Solihull for almost 50 years and the Velar is only the latest model to be made there.
So far, only prototypes have been produced of the vehicle but, following testing, the first Velars will roll off production lines this summer.
JLR UK managing director, Jeremy Hicks said: "The whole team is enormously excited about bringing the new Range Rover Velar to customers across the UK."
Its selling-points include a touch-screen entertainment system and interiors made from recycled material.
The company said production of all Jaguar Land Rover models at its four UK manufacturing plants supports more than 40,000 British jobs and a further 250,000 in the supply chain.
JLR said: "We are absolutely committed to the UK. We are a British car manufacturer and we contribute £10bn to the economy every year."


MK Dons stunned AFC Wimbledon with an injury-time winner to triumph in the first meeting between the sides and book a place in the FA Cup third round.

Stephen Gleeson's superb strike broke the deadlock for the hosts in a game that was struggling to match its hype.
AFC levelled when Jack Midson headed in a rare attack for the visitors, as travelling fans ran on to the pitch.
But Jon Otsemobor's outstretched foot directed the ball over goalkeeper Neil Sullivan's head in a dramatic finale.

2005: AFC Wimbledon promoted to Isthmian League Premier Division.
2006: MK Dons relegated to League Two.

2009: AFC Wimbledon promoted to Blue Square Bet Premier.
2011: AFC Wimbledon are promoted to League Two via the Blue Square Bet Premier play-offs - a fifth promotion in nine seasons.
2012: AFC Wimbledon announce plans to move to a stadium in their spiritual home of Wimbledon.
The fixture has been 10 years in the making, since AFC Wimbledon were formed by disgruntled Wimbledon FC fans in protest of their club's proposed move to Milton Keynes.
The move went ahead after an independent panel set up by the Football Association gave it the go-ahead and Wimbledon were uprooted 56 miles to Buckinghamshire and subsequently renamed MK Dons eight years ago.
MK and their chairman Pete Winkelman have endured criticism from most of football, being accused of ripping a club from its community and carrying around the tag of "Franchise FC".
For AFC Wimbledon, this was an opportunity to show how far they had come - how they had started in the ninth tier of English football and risen to League Two - and to remind the world there is a club that bears the Wimbledon name.
MK on the other hand had a chance to show that, regardless of how they came into existence, they are a club with designs of playing attractive football in front of a young, new fanbase.
Wimbledon performed one of the greatest FA Cup final upsets of all time when they beat Liverpool 1-0 at Wembley in 1988. MK boss Karl Robinson, a proud Liverpool fan, has admitted he cried after watching Lawrie Sanchez score the goal that handed the trophy to the Crazy Gang.
But, while both sets of supporters rose to the challenge at Stadium MK, the early action failed to match the build-up.
The most eye-catching moment in the first 30 minutes was above the pitch when a plane, chartered by AFC supporters, flew over tugging a banner reading "We are Wimbledon".
Angelo Balanta's shot wide of the post was all MK had to show for their dominance in possession.
It was no surprise when the League One side went ahead but the nature of the goal was out of keeping with the game up to that point. Gleeson's stunning 25-yard effort flew into the top-right corner and put the hosts ahead on the stroke of half-time.
MK would have expected an instant reaction from AFC after the break but could have been out of sight themselves, with Sullivan, who played 224 times for the old Wimbledon, getting a hand to Ryan Lowe's close-range effort and Dean Bowditch shooting into the side netting with the goal gaping.
Former Wimbledon player and manager Dave Bassett:
"When Wimbledon scored their goal you would have expected MK to change but they were slow and predictable. They were going backward and sideways with their passes too often. They didn't do anything quicker and it looked like Wimbledon would get their draw, in fact Wimbledon had a great chance to win the game. But that is Cup football."
The AFC response came from a rare burst forward when Toby Ajala's cross was nodded in tidily by Midson.
His celebrations were accompanied by a crowd of AFC supporters who had streamed on to the pitch, letting 10 years of emotion get the better of them in unsavoury scenes that were quickly calmed by stewards.
It was a series of events that raised the atmosphere in the ground from tense to boisterous and both sides reacted, feeling the urgency and the desire of their supporters to claim a memorable victory.
Ryan Lowe thought he had done just that for Robinson's side but his celebrations were cut short by an offside flag against Zeli Ismail, who had laid on the chance for the striker.
The League Two side then had a great chance of their own but Steven Gregory was unable to beat David Martin, another former Wimbledon keeper, when one-on-one having capitalised on Darren Potter's mistake.
And, just when it looked like a replay and a quickfire second encounter was on the cards, MK stole it in the dying minutes.
AFC failed to fully clear an MK corner, Ismail struck a shot into the ground that Otsemobor flicked his leg against and turned to see the ball loop over a helpless Sullivan.
A few MK supporters failed to resist the urge to celebrate on the pitch, but, when order was restored, Robinson's side managed to stand strong against a late onslaught to treasure a satisfying win and leave their opponents desolate.
MK Dons manager Karl Robinson said:
"It's been a tough week. It's been enjoyable but it's also been difficult.
"I thought the game typified two sets of teams with great hunger and passion for the club they play for. Two teams can walk away from this stadium very proud of each other.
"I wanted this game to go smoothly, I wanted it to be conducted in a manner that was right for the English game and I thought we all did that.
"Maybe I got a bit excited with the goal at the end but I'm not going to apologise for that.
"I love this club and the players who wear our shirt. I'm sure you'd rather see me celebrating like a lunatic than just stood there with a stone-face smile."
AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley said:
"I've got mainly pride. Pride for the players. We worked hard on a game plan and we felt it was the best way we could cause an upset. Every single player to a man carried those instructions out.
"They got a great first goal and a bizarre second. But we were inches from going in front so we can't ask any more than that.
"My main fear was not doing the fans proud and I can sit here now, despite hurting from the defeat, and say we did that.
"We knew we would end up having very little possession. We knew we couldn't press them high up the pitch because they play between the lines very well.
"The game plan went to a tee but we were hoping for that stroke of luck and perhaps that wasn't with us."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says the Premier League title race is "far from being over" despite the eight-point gap between his side and leaders Leicester.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Gunners have dropped eight points in three matches, including defeats by Manchester United and Swansea.
Saturday's 2-2 draw at Tottenham left them three points behind their second-placed rivals with nine games to play.
"We will not give up the Premier League, we will fight until the end," Wenger, 66, said.
"Just to remind you, we have beaten Leicester twice so we have done our job against them. People have to look at other teams more, not just us on that front.
"The Premier League is far from being over."

Arsenal are competing for three trophies, including the FA Cup and the Champions League, although they face an uphill battle in the latter following their 2-0 home defeat by Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
They travel to Hull on Tuesday for a fifth-round replay in the FA Cup - a competition they have won for the past two seasons.
Wenger, who is in his 20th season as Arsenal boss, has been criticised during their recent poor run but he says he is unaffected.
"I believe that opinions are opinions," the Frenchman said. "I do my job and one day someone will replace me and will replace you.
"I try to do my best and leave this club in the best shape so the guy coming after me will have good potential to work with."


Demand for knitted Tour de France bunting as souvenirs of the event in Cambridge has been so great, organisers have decided to "sell" it for charity.

Rad Wagon organised the knitting of 2,000 miniature jerseys which were hung in the streets for Monday's race.
"We've had requests for them from as far away as the USA so we've asked people to donate to charities. It'll be another great Tour legacy," he said.
Funds will go to Jimmy's, You Can Bike Too and Marie Curie.
Cycling instructor and non-knitter Mr Wagon was inspired to create the knitted bunting after seeing a similar project in Yorkshire.
More than 400 people took up their needles to knit over 2,000 miniature jerseys in Tour de France colours.
In addition, primary school pupils helped decorate some of the 40 wool-covered bicycle wheels hung along the route in Cambridge.
The bunting was taken down on Wednesday, and Mr Wagon and friends have been busy dealing with requests from individuals and organisations keen to have some.
"Almost everyone used their own materials, lots of wool was donated and everyone gave their time for free so of course we said they could have their jerseys back," Mr Wagon said.
"Then we started getting requests from people who had seen the bunting on television and the internet and wanted some as souvenirs because it looked so great.
"We picked our charities and have asked people if they would like to donate something. We're not selling it as such, just asking people if they'd like to help these causes."
Since publicising that on his CamBunting website, Mr Wagon said many of those who knitted the bunting had pledged donations as well.
"I'm humbled by the enthusiasm and fun exuded by everyone," he added.


Indonesia's military chief says Australia has apologised over "offensive" training materials used at an army base in Perth.

General Gatot Nurmantyo accepted the apology from the chief of Australia's army, the Indonesian military said.
Indonesia last month said it had put all defence co-operation on hold, before clarifying the suspension was for one language-training programme.
The nation said the materials referenced several sensitive topics.
They were "soldiers in the past, East Timor, Papuan independence and 'Pancasila'", a reference to Indonesia's founding philosophy, Gen Nurmantyo said last month.
Indonesia announced the apology in a statement after Australian Army chief Angus Campbell met with military leaders in Jakarta on Wednesday.
"General Gatot has accepted the apology, and realised that in the era of global competition right now, unity and friendship are needed for neighbouring countries, without putting aside their differences," the Indonesian military statement said.
The BBC has contacted Australian officials for comment.
Indonesia's Security Minister Wiranto, who goes by a single name, said he was glad to see the military leaders "resolve the issue together like a family".
"The little incidents that may occur, they're just individual statements, really," he said.
"We can't let it destabilise the strong relationship between the two countries."
Indonesian President Joko Widodo was due to visit Australia in November but called off the trip after a violent rally in Jakarta.
Mr Widodo is now scheduled to meet Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on 26 February.


A grandfather who needs Â£25,000 to send his orphaned grandsons to live with an aunt in the United States has raised nearly Â£20,000 in one week.

Patrick Lynch, 64, has been the sole carer of Kallum, nine, and seven-year-old Jack in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, since their mother Joanne died from cancer last year.
His other daughter, Sam, is prepared to adopt them in Los Angeles.
The family said it could not afford the costs of the adoption process.
Read more about this story and other Norfolk news
Mr Lynch, who has had heart surgery and two strokes, said he was unlikely to be able to "cope much longer".
The money is being raised via a Crowdfunder appeal and other fundraising activities co-ordinated by the boys' school, Edward Worlledge Primary.
He said: "I've experienced more grief than anyone should ever have to go through.
"If we can't raise this money and I die, the boys will have to go into care and then the family could be torn apart."
Joanne Lynch, a single mother, died aged 29 from the genetic disorder Li Faumeni Syndrome which led to an aggressive form of cancer.
It had already claimed the lives of her mother, another sister and grandmother. Kallum has also been diagnosed as carrying the gene.
Joanne's sister Sam Wells, 37, has lived in California for 10 years with her husband Shaun and three children, aged 15, 13 and 11 months.
"When Joanne knew she had about two weeks to live she asked me to take care of the boys and I said 'absolutely'," said Mrs Wells.
"We've started the process of working with a recognised adoption agency and have to jump through so many hoops - and there's a fee with every hoop."
Mrs Wells said if the application failed she would consider moving back to the UK as a "last resort".
The family has already applied for a temporary visa for the boys, which she said cost $10,000 and would allow them to stay for two years - during which time they would be able to enrol in school this summer and the adoption agency could assess the family.
Mrs Wells hoped the adoption process could be completed within four months.
A US Department of State spokesman said it charged $720 for filing the initial immigration application and $325 for a visa application, but any other fees would be charged by the adoption agency and would vary in each case.
He said the US and UK were both signed up to the Hague Convention on inter-country adoption which aimed to prevent illegal trafficking of children.


Solicitors for X Factor entrant Gamu Nhengu and her family are to seek a judicial review of the Home Office order expelling them from the UK.

Gamu, 18, originally from Zimbabwe and now living in Clackmannanshire, was eliminated from the ITV show on Sunday.
Immigration officials confirmed that her mother, Nokuthula Ngazana, had been refused permission to stay in the UK after her visa expired in August.
Earlier, more than 100 supporters gathered outside Gamu's home.
The family's solicitor, Peter Farrell, said he would be seeking a judicial review of the case from the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
The teenager's family has lived in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, for eight years and she attended the town's Alva Academy.
Mr Farrell said he was still awaiting a written ruling from the Home Office, but understands the application to extend the visa was turned down on the grounds that there was an administrative error in the application filled out by Gamu's mother and that she had claimed benefits she was not entitled to.
He said the administrative error was due to Mrs Ngazana giving the wrong bank details, so the fee for the application could not be taken. The application was judged "out of time" as a result. However he said it was lodged in time.
Regarding the benefits claim, Mr Farrell said Mrs Ngazana was advised by the Inland Revenue that she was entitled to claim Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit and that it was aware of her immigration status.
Mr Farrell said he could not go through the normal immigration appeal procedure because the application was turned down on administrative grounds.
But he added: "As soon as we have the decision in writing from the Home Office we will ask for a judicial review of that decision."
"And we will show that our client was given permission by the Inland Revenue in the full knowledge of her immigration status."
Mr Farrell added that once the challenge was lodged with the court the family would be safe from removal until the issue was settled.
A statement from the UK Border Agency said: "The applications made by Ms Ngazana and her family were considered in line with the published immigration rules.
"Ms Ngazana's application was refused as it did not meet all of the conditions for approval.
"Her family, who had applied as her dependants, were therefore also refused."
Officials confirmed they must now leave the UK voluntarily or face removal to their native Zimbabwe.
Ms Ngazana said she was not aware of UK Border Agency's decision and refused to comment on her daughter's elimination from the show.
Local MP Gordon Banks said he had spoken to the family, who were "understandably distraught" by the media reports.
The Labour MP for Ochil and South Perthshire said: "I have spoken to the Border Agency today to find out what on earth is going on.
"There is some suggestion that there may be an administrative problem with the application so we need to get this mess cleared up."
Keith Brown MSP, who represents Tillicoultry, said: "I have known Gamu for a number of years and heard her sing many times. She is the kind of hard-working talent we should have in Scotland.
"Her mother has always been described to me as a model and hardworking student who is now serving as a nurse and if there are any problems over the family's status we should work to resolve them not see them sent away.
"UK immigration and the Home Office need to explain why a talented and hardworking family is facing this situation."
One of the people who gathered outside Gamu's home on Wednesday was childminder Lynn Blackshields who said she thought the singer had an "excellent future ahead of her".
The 40-year-old told the BBC: "I think they're a lovely respectable, hard-working family. I think it's an absolute disgrace that they're being sent away."
And Maegan Muirhead, a 16-year-old pupil at Alva Academy, said Gamu was a "fun person" who had given the school a good name because she had a "rare talent".
"She should stay. She's a great citizen and her mum's working," she added.
A spokesman for the Home Office said the decision to axe Gamu from X Factor was the "business" of the television show.
He could not say whether the omission by judge Cheryl Cole had been decided after talks between immigration officials and the programme's bosses.
Show bosses have denied reports that Cole was influenced by fears that Gamu's visa was due to run out.
A spokeswoman for the ITV1 talent show said: "Gamu's visa being processed was not the reason that she didn't make the final 12."
The Home Office said Ms Ngazana does not have a right to appeal and her singer daughter cannot apply separately to remain in this country.
More than 200,000 people have joined a Facebook campaign calling for the return of Gamu to the show.


Tommy Wright insists St Johnstone are on course to equal last season's points tally of 57 despite a recent poor run.

Chris Kane struck six minutes from the end in Perth to claim a hard-fought 1-0 Scottish Premiership victory against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
It was only their second success in the last 12 league matches but was enough to move them on to 39 points - level with fourth-placed Ross County.
"Overall we are having not too bad a season," said Wright.
"I mentioned to the players that we are now just two points worse off than we were this time last season.
"Hopefully we build on this now as I think we deserved the win."
Saints, who have nine games to play, were made to wait for their win with David Wotherspoon having a penalty saved by Owain Fon Williams shortly before Kane's winner.
"I thought we looked more likely to score but we have missed a few penalties and I feared the worst when that happened," Wright said.
"But fair play to David as he didn't let that get to him and he had an excellent game and contributed in the build-up to the goal."
Caley Thistle manager John Hughes reckons his team were responsible for their own downfall in a game they finished with just 10 men.
Captain Gary Warren was sent off in the second half for two yellow cards, the second of which was for conceding the spot-kick.
"I said to them at half-time, 'only one team can beat you here and that's yourself' and that's what happened," said Hughes.
"There's no way we can feel sorry for ourselves. If we had kept 11 players on the park we might have got something.
"I was a little bit disappointed that even with 10 men we couldn't see the match out and get a draw.
"St Johnstone have thrown the kitchen sink at us and we nearly got the draw even if we lacked a bit of penetration up top.
"We were trying to hang on a bit after Gary was sent off and he was just caught out a couple of times.
"I really feel for the boys as they put their bodies on the line but it didn't work out after putting in so much effort.
"Especially for the goalkeeper as Owain made a great save and I thought at that point it might be our night but it wasn't to be."
The Highlanders remain ninth, five points clear of the relegation zone and three points off the top six.
"It is very tight in the league at the moment and it is going to be nip and tuck right until the split," added Hughes.
"We do still want to get into the top six and while we have had a hard programme there are no excuses.
"There is still a lot to play for this season and I am hoping to have more numbers to pick from in the weeks ahead."


A "pandemic" of inactivity in poor areas of England is leading to premature deaths, a report shows.

The analysis by UKactive, which represents the leisure industry, found 13 of the 15 local authorities where people were the most inactive were in the most deprived parts of the country.
Between 35% and 40% of adults in these areas are classed as inactive - that is exercising less than 30 minutes a week.
That compares with a figure of 28% nationally.
Where inactivity levels were at their highest, early deaths also peaked, according to the analysis based on the Active People Survey, which is commissioned by Sport England.
In the 15 most inactive local authorities, there was an average of 342 premature deaths per 100,000 people per year, compared with 242 in those where people exercised the most. The only areas in the 15 most inactive not to be in the most deprived areas of England were Slough and Dudley.
The report urged councils, which took on responsibility for public health last year, to use more of their budgets to promote physical activity.
Data obtained from 85 out of 129 councils under the Freedom of Information Act showed they spent just 2% of their public health budgets on physical activity promotion and investment.
This was in "stark contrast" to the 38% spent on sexual health and 12% on alcohol misuse, the report said.
Researchers also found that the most inactive local authorities have, on average, a third fewer leisure facilities than the least inactive areas.
Cutting physical inactivity by just 1% a year over a five-year period would save the UK economy just under Â£1.2bn in health and economic gains, the report said.
Fred Turok, chairman of Ukactive, said: "It's no longer acceptable that physical inactivity remains the forgotten cause of death in the UK.
"More deprived areas are faring worse in a physical inactivity pandemic - with no national strategy to improve our fitness levels."
Lord Sebastian Coe, who is backing the report, said: "There is no doubt that the issue requires immediate national attention and urgent action."
But Prof Kevin Fenton, of Public Health England, said his organisation and local government were "committed" to increasing physical activity levels.
"Physical activity is undertaken across communities in a range of ways, from walking and cycling, through fitness, leisure and play to structured amateur and elite sport.
"We need to embrace and support this diversity through cross-sector collaboration and action to embed physical activity within daily life," he added.


It was springtime in Washington for the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this week.

His visit included trips to the Lincoln Memorial, the Arlington Cemetery and an address to both Houses of Congress - the first time this honour has been afforded to a Japanese leader.
And no wonder. The visit heralded a significant reinforcement of the alliance between Washington and Tokyo.
Given the continuing dramas in the Middle East, the Obama administration's signature policy shift - its pivot to Asia - is being pursued in more of a minor rather than a major key.
But regardless of the old business in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere, the pivot is continuing; preparing Washington for its role in what it set to be the Pacific century.
In this the Americans expect to have Japan at their side and Mr Abe, through both his desire to update Japan's defence posture and his economic reforms is reinforcing Japan's claim to be Washington's chief partner of choice.
This visit emphasised the crucial importance of both security and economics in the future of the Asia-Pacific region.
As important as new defence guidelines and a reinforced security partnership was further discussion of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP); a 12-nation trade deal which is very much a shared initiative between Mr Obama and Mr Abe.
Watching all this from the sidelines is of course Beijing. A victim of Japan's militarism during the past century, China views Japan's military modernisation and expanding security horizons with some concern.
China though - because of its own growing defence capabilities and regional, if not global ambitions -  is very much the reference point that is prompting military reform and modernisation across the region.
It's a powerful reminder that as much as grand strategy and economics, history is also a powerful factor in the Asia-Pacific.
Japan's military reforms, most importantly the desire of the Abe government to revise constitutional provisions limiting the role of the country's so-called "self-defence" forces are very much part of this.
Japan's post-war US-drafted constitution was specifically intended to prevent a resurgence of Japanese militarism.
And tensions persist given perceptions in many countries that Japan has been insufficiently explicit in its apologies for its behaviour during World War Two.
This has prompted particularly bitter recriminations, for example,  between Japan and another of Washington's key allies in the region, South Korea.
Some 70 years on from the end of World War Two Mr Abe sees these constraints on the armed forces of a democratic Japan as imposing an unnecessary exceptionalism that hampers the country's ability to defend its interests.
The important new defence guidelines agreed with Washington give Japan roles in new areas like cybersecurity and space.
But they also broaden the remit of Japan's armed forces, enabling them to operate with the US and other allies in new ways that are not restricted to the narrow and direct defence of Japanese territory itself.
Thus, Japan is on the way to becoming a more effective military ally of the US able to operate alongside it in joint missions.
It is by no means clear of course that public opinion in Japan is entirely in tune with Mr Abe's desire for constitutional change.
But the fact remains that even under the existing remit Japan has become a much more significant player in the international system.
Over the past 10 years Japanese forces have been despatched to Iraq and Kuwait.
Japanese peacekeepers have been deployed in South Sudan and Haiti and it has participated in Operation Enduring Freedom - Washington's broader counter-terrorism operation - in the Indian Ocean.
What especially worries China is Japan's own military modernisation.
It is deploying ballistic missile defences - directed in the first instance against the potential threat from North Korea's missile arsenal.
And Japan recently commissioned its largest warship since World War Two - the Izumo - described as a helicopter-carrying destroyer but potentially a small aircraft carrier.
Its chief mission - anti-submarine operations and command and control.
It is a significant reinforcement of Japan's ability to defend its interests in the East China Sea.
Disputed territorial claims have turned the tensions between China and Japan into a favourite subject for a whole genre of futuristic fiction with writers seeing this as the spark that might set off a third world war in Asia.
For the US and Japan, broader defence ties are intended to make this less likely.
But their defence relationship still begs bigger questions about Washington (and for that matter Tokyo's) strategy towards Beijing.
Is the US goal co-operation with or containment of a rising China?
Just where should the line between these two options be drawn?
And does China want harmony or hegemony?
The answers to these questions are likely to determine whether the coming Pacific century is marked by peace or conflict.


A woman taken to court for allegedly making a false rape claim killed herself three days before her trial over fears she would not be believed, her inquest has heard.

Eleanor de Freitas, 23, said she felt there was "no way out" after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charged her with perverting the course of justice.
Ms De Freitas, 23, of Fulham, London, was found dead in April 2014.
The coroner recorded that Ms de Freitas had taken her own life.
The impending court case had been "a significant stressor in her life at that time", West London coroner Chinyere Inyama said.
He denied a request from the de Freitas family solicitor, Leslie Thomas QC, that the CPS should attend the hearing because of its obligations to Ms de Freitas under the Human Rights Act.
Ms de Freitas's father, David, said they would consider a judicial review challenge.
The director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders had described the case as "one of the most difficult" she had seen.
Ms de Freitas, a trainee accountant who had bipolar disorder, made a rape complaint to the Metropolitan Police in early 2013.
The police said there was insufficient evidence to pursue the case and the man she said had attacked her took out a private prosecution, accusing her of perverting the course of justice.
Ms de Freitas' solicitors asked the CPS to halt the private action but instead the CPS decided to take it over and continue it.
Three days before Ms De Freitas was due to stand trial in April last year, she was found hanged.
The inquest into her death heard she had felt "ashamed to be British" after the CPS decided to prosecute her and told her legal team "it would be better if I had been run over by a bus".
She said she feared her alleged attacker would be free to reoffend, it heard.
Ms de Freitas had previously been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and told her family she feared being readmitted to psychiatric care.
She was found dead by her mother.
In a note left at the scene, read in court, she said her decision to end her life was "selfish" but she would "bring shame on the family" if she lost the case.
Ms de Freitas's father told the hearing how his daughter had had some support withdrawn in the months leading up to her death, following the decision to prosecute her.
He said: "She had been receiving counselling for rape. But she was denied access to counselling from the moment she received summons (for perverting the course of justice)."
He added: "She felt everything was stacked against her, and that things were just steam-rollering.
"She was massively upset by that."
He said his daughter began wearing a burka to court appearances through fear of publicity and would sometimes only leave the house after dark.
Dr Chris Bench, Ms de Freitas's consultant psychiatrist from 2009 until her death, said he made an assessment of his patient's treatment at every appointment.
The court heard Ms de Freitas, a former Durham University student, had suicidal thoughts twice, and Dr Bench considered her not fit to appear in court in September 2013.
He said Ms de Freitas was concerned the judge did not seem very sympathetic to her mental state when she appeared as a defendant.
He said she was well enough to attend court again when he saw her on 27 March last year, his final appointment with Ms de Freitas before her death.
Speaking outside the inquest, Mr de Freitas said said: "The coroner has accepted the prosecution was a significant stressor which led to my daughter Eleanor taking her own life.
"We are therefore disappointed the coroner did not allow us to explore what we believe are serious failings by a state body - the CPS.
"The inquest should be an opportunity for scrutiny and to learn lessons from this tragic death."


The US will not abandon its peace efforts with Israel and the Palestinians, despite the breakdown of current talks, Barack Obama has said.

President Obama lamented that "neither side had political will to make tough decisions" and that there may need to be a pause in the process.
Mr Obama said Washington would continue to offer "constructive approaches".
It comes after Israel suspended talks, demanding the annulment of a unity deal between rival Palestinian factions.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party and Hamas signed a reconciliation agreement on Tuesday, with the aim of forming a unity government in the coming weeks.
Hamas rejects Israel's right to exist and is designated a terrorist group by the US, EU, Israel and other countries.
Speaking in the South Korean capital, Seoul, Mr Obama said that the unity deal was "unhelpful".
He said the pact was "just one of a series of choices that both the Israelis and Palestinians have made that are not conducive to trying to resolve the crisis".
"Folks can posture, folks can cling to maximalist positions, but realistically there is one door and that is the two parties getting together and making some very difficult political compromises in order to secure the future of both Israelis and Palestinians for future generations," he said.
"Do I expect that they will walk through that door next week, next month or even in the course of the next six months? No.''
On Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the BBC that Mr Abbas must choose between continuing with the pact with Fatah or continuing with efforts to secure peace,
"He [Mahmoud Abbas] can have peace with Israel or a pact with Hamas - he can't have both," he said.
President Abbas though said there was "no incompatibility between reconciliation and the talks" and that he was committed to peace on the basis of a two-state solution.
Fatah and Hamas have been at odds since Hamas, which won parliamentary elections in 2006, ousted Fatah forces in the Gaza Strip during clashes in 2007 and set up a rival government.


Colchester United manager Kevin Keen says they are not panicking despite having failed to win a League One game since 20 October.

Keen's side are bottom of the table, seven points adrift of safety.
"There is a gap but there is still a considerable amount of games left. If there was only five or six left we can start panicking," he told BBC Essex.
"There's 18 games left and I'm sure the performances will eventually turn into some good results."
Since Keen took up his first managerial role on 21 December, when he replaced Tony Humes, Colchester's only victory came in the FA Cup against Championship side Charlton.
And the 48-year-old former West Ham and Reading coach admitted: "It's obvious, we need to win football matches."
His side face Essex rivals Southend on Saturday - the same opponents for Keen's first match in charge, which Colchester lost 2-0.
"Out of the teams we've played they would be one of the better teams," said Keen.
"Their home form is normally good, they have a vocal support behind them, (Phil Brown's) a good manager, they've got two or three standout players who make things happen and a strong defence.
"I've looked at most of the teams in the League now and maybe apart from the top couple, there's not much between the rest."


The contraceptive pill revolutionised sexual and social behaviour in the 1960s.

Today's revolution for women is knowing exactly when to expect your period, according to Ida Tin, co-founder and chief executive of the reproductive health tracking app Clue.
Although Clue is not recommended as a contraceptive, the app tracks a woman's cycle, and can predict, not only fertility and menstruation, but also related symptoms such as mood swings or PMS (premenstrual syndrome).
As is the case with many good business ideas, Ms Tin's inspiration came from personal experience.
"Our reproductive health is an incredibly foundational and central part of our lives," she says.
"I was around 30 and I wasn't on the pill, because it didn't work that well for me. I was wondering why nobody had built a really good tool to manage this part of life."
She adds: "Clue is all about empowering women. It allows women to make better individual health decisions, and to improve their overall well-being."
Ms Tin, 36, knows from experience how empowering it can be, for a woman, to take things into her own hands.
Before she founded Clue in Berlin in 2012, she spent five years running a business in her native Denmark which organised motorcycle tours around the world.
Ms Tin also wrote a best-selling book about her motorcycling exploits in far flung parts of the planet.
Ms Tin runs Clue with her co-founder and partner Hans from an open plan loft office in the German capital.
Although the business is only three years old, more than two million women in over 180 countries now use Clue, which Ms Tin says is the world's fastest-growing menstrual cycle tracking app.
She says: "We don't have a typical app user. It is a group as diverse as women are on this planet.
"A lot of girls and women are using Clue because they want to know themselves and their bodies better.
"Some women are using Clue because they're trying to get pregnant, others to get reminders to take their birth control pills, or to share their data with a doctor."
The app is free - and hasn't made the company any money yet.
However, Ms Tin hopes that it will start to generate revenue within the next few years, and is continuing to explore the best ways of doing so.
She appears to have the confidence of her investors, as Clue recently raised $7m (Â£4.6m) of funding from venture capital firms Union Square Ventures, which is based in New York; and London's Mosaic Ventures. This brings the total Clue has secured to $10m.
The cash is being used to expand Clue's team of 22 full-time staff, develop new features for the app and increase the number of users.
Clue is the latest addition to an increasingly crowded market place. So the search is on for ways of distinguishing itself from the competition.
Right from the start Ida was determined that the app should not be "pink" or "girly".
So the design is gender neutral - and the company is at great pains to stress the scientific nature of the way the app works.
Users have to regularly enter information into a calendar. Topics range from menstruation to motivation, and from sex drive to appetite.
According to the company, the more information you put into the app the more accurate it is. And the firm works closely with doctors and reproductive health scientists to ensure that accuracy.
When it comes to the daily running of the business, Ms Tin encourages staff to work flexibly, so as to balance their work and family lives.
"Reaching the right balance between family and work is not only a personal responsibility and choice for both women and men." she says. "It's also a company's responsibility."
The needs of Ms Tin's two children are built into her busy daily schedule. She drops her five-year-old son Elliot at kindergarten each morning, before bringing her one-year-old daughter Eleanor to the office.
Ida happily describes the toddler as an "office baby".
"It's not always easy to balance a family and a company" she says, "but I'm a very stubborn person and I am just not willing to have to choose between the two.
"It has to be possible to have a family and work on something I deeply care about."
On the day that the latest tranche of money from investors hits the company's account, there's a quiet celebration in the office.
Ms Tin is clearly excited about what the money means for the future of her young company.
"I want to build a platform for women's health data," she says, "so women can get deep insights about their body."
She raises a glass of champagne in thanks to her staff, her daughter Eleanor cradled in one arm.
There's a real symbolism to the moment - a woman with big hopes for the future, balancing her twin loves - her family and her business.


A motorist "drove at a crowd" outside a social club and ploughed into a woman, leaving her seriously injured.

The 18-year-old was hit outside the Oakdale Social Club in West Bromwich.
Police believe the Vauxhall Astra  contained three or four Asian men who were involved in an earlier disturbance outside the club.
The car pulled away from the car park but moments later turned around "and was driven into the crowd" gathered at closing time, police said.
The injured teenager was taken to hospital with suspected spinal fractures and was later discharged to continue her recovery at home.
Det Con Luke Stephens, from  West Midlands Police, said: "Exactly what led to such a dangerous and violent act is not clear, but we do know that the men used a dark blue Vauxhall Astra to drive at the group outside the club.
"Their actions could have left people with much more serious, if not fatal, injuries and it is only good fortune that prevented the young woman from being badly hurt."
He said the car would have been left with front-end damage after the incident outside the club in Oak Lane at about 23:15 GMT on Friday 20 February.
"Make no mistake, this was a serious incident and we need to find those people involved."
Anyone at the Oakdale Social Club that night who may be able to help police is urged to call the force on 101 or contact Crimestoppers.


Britain's Owen Pick and Ben Moore both won medals in the banked slalom events at the 2017 Para Snowboard World Championships in Big White, Canada.

Pick, 25, who lost his leg while serving with the Army in Afghanistan in 2010, was second in the SB-LL2 event.
He was beaten by Finn Matti Suur-Hamari, whose time of one minute, 7.82 seconds bettered Pick's 1:08.23.
Moore, whose arm was left paralysed after a motorbike accident, finished third in the SB-UL category.
Both athletes will now be aiming for medals at next year's Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang.
"I've been knocking on the door for the last three years behind these guys," said Pick, from Cambridge. "I'm really happy with my first podium at a world championships and only missing out on first place by 0.5secs."
Moore, from Plymouth, won silver and bronze at the last world championships two years ago, and was pleased with his medal after suffering a serious crash in training two weeks ago which put his participation in doubt.
"I am so relieved, happy and excited all at the same time," he said. "I love Canada and this resort in particular, but I even surprised myself with that run and it feels good."


Antrim won a 15th straight Ulster Hurling title as they denied Armagh a first ever provincial crown.

Armagh were only four behind with 12 minutes left when they had James King sent off and two late James Connolly goals sealed Antrim's 6-21 to 4-14 win.
After Declan Coulter's early Armagh goal, goals from John Dillon, Conor Carson and Ciaran Clarke helped the Saffrons lead 3-14 to 2-8 at half-time.
Two Eoin McGuinness goals kept Armagh in it before the crucial red card.
Ciaran Clarke top-scored with 2-7 as he he netted a second goal after the resumption but Ryan Gaffney's frees helped Armagh draw to within three points of the Saffrons before King, who had notched a brilliant goal in first-half injury-time, was dismissed after getting a second yellow card.
Armagh were into the game believing that they had a chance of upsetting an Antrim side potentially low on morale after their failure to win the Christy Ring Cup.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Coulter's third-minute goal gave Armagh an early advantage and they were still in front by the 22nd minute thanks to Gaffney's accuracy and further points from Fiachra Bradley, Cahal Carvill and McGuinness.
However, Dillon's goal put the Saffrons 1-8 to 1-6 ahead and two further three-pointers over the next seven minutes from Carson and Clarke pushed Antrim's advantage to 3-9 to 1-8.
The Saffrons looked almost out of sight as they led 3-14 to 1-8 in first-half injury-time but King's superb goal before the break breathed life back into the Armagh challenge.
Antrim's lead was reduced to five points within three minutes of the resumption as two more Gaffney points were followed by the first of McGuinness' two goals.
Clarke's second goal was quickly cancelled out by McGuinness' second three-pointer as Armagh sensed the possibility of a sensational comeback win.
However, King's dismissal had a huge effort on the closing minutes as Connolly's two late goals gave the scoreboard a somewhat harsh look for the brave Orchard County players.
Antrim joint-manager Dominic McKinley confirmed after the game that he and Sambo McNaughton have both stepped down from their positions, as they had already indicated.

Portugal's second division could see an influx of Chinese players due to a clause in a major sponsorship deal.

The Segunda Liga is set to be rebranded as the Ledman Proliga from next season, with plans to use the Portuguese system for helping to train Chinese talent, on and off the pitch.
Chinese multinational Ledman initially said the top 10 clubs must include Chinese players and assistant coaches.
But that proposal was withdrawn amid Portuguese players' union concerns.
Instead, a spokesman for the league told BBC Sport that its board will vote to decide the number of Chinese and Asian players and which clubs they will play for.
"Liga Portugal is open to help develop Chinese football, in forming young players, as the new Proliga is focused in promoting young talents," said a statement.


Liam Gallagher has announced that his band Beady Eye is no more.

He posted the news on Twitter, thanking fans for their support, but offered no reason why they were splitting.
The band formed in 2009 and was made up of former Oasis members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock.
They released two albums: 2011's Different Gear, Still Speeding and 2013's BE but neither replicated Oasis' immense success.
Both albums did reach the Top 5 in the UK's Official Album Chart but the band only had one UK Top 40 single, The Roller.
In February 2014, the band cancelled an appearance at the Coachella festival.
Later that month, it was announced that they'd parted ways with their manager Scott Rodger.
In a statement to NME at the time, Rodger said that Beady Eye were one of the "last great British rock bands".
There has been nothing from the band since that period and today Gallagher's tweet seems to confirm that Beady Eye's relatively short-lived time is over.


An Aberdeen pharmacist who forged prescriptions and committed a VAT fraud has been ordered to pay £432,000 under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Conrad Chau altered prescriptions to get pharmaceutical firms to send him more drugs at a discounted price so he could sell them on to other companies at a profit.
The offences took place in 2013 while he was owner of the Holburn Pharmacy.
Chau was jailed for 20 months in November last year.
Chau, 51, admitted various charges at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
The fraud was discovered when a comparison was made between the genuine prescriptions issued by local GPs and received by the NHS, and the forged versions of the same documents, which had been sent to the pharmaceutical companies.


The first confirmed sighting of a wild pine marten in England for over a century has been recorded.

An amateur photographer spotted the mammal, thought to be extinct, in early July, and passed photos to the Shropshire Wildlife Trust.
There have been numerous reports in the county, but trust mammal expert Stuart Edmunds was able to verify the image.
"There is now a possibility that they may have been living here right under our noses for a long time," he said.
Pine martens are nocturnal, house cat-sized members of the stoat and weasel family.
There is a healthy population of at least 4,000 pine martens in Scotland, and small numbers live around Snowdonia, in Wales.
The wildlife trust believes the Shropshire marten had moved across from Wales.


Nine people have been killed and seven injured in a shooting at a college in the US state of Oregon, say police.

The gunman, 26, opened fire at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning and was killed in a police shootout.
There were conflicting reports on casualties but Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said 10 dead, including the gunman, was "the best" figure.
Police have not identified the attacker but unnamed officers have told US media his name is Chris Harper Mercer.
Mr Hanlin said he would not confirm the name, adding: "I will not give him the credit he probably sought prior to this horrific and cowardly act."
The gunman was reportedly born in the UK and moved to the US as a young boy.
A man identified as the gunman's father, Ian Mercer, told US media he was "just as shocked as everybody" by his son's actions.
The killer's motive is not known, although police said they were investigating reports that he had warned of his intentions on social media.
What we know about Chris Harper Mercer
Hours after the attack, in which seven were also injured, a visibly frustrated President Barack Obama demanded tighter gun laws, saying prayers are "no longer enough".
Such shootings - and his own response - had become routine, he said, barely concealing his exasperation.
"We are not the only country on Earth that has people with mental illnesses or want to do harm to other people.
"But we are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these mass shootings every few months."
Referring to a BBC interview in which he talked about this, he said countries like the UK and Australia showed that effective legislation was possible.
Obama's 'hopeless' push for gun control
Lorie Andrews, who lives opposite the campus, said she heard what sounded like fireworks and when she came out of her home she saw students streaming out.
"One girl came out wrapped in a blanket with blood on her," she said.
Hannah Miles, 19, said that she and fellow students were led to a nearby bookshop, where they hid in a back room.
"No-one really was sure what was going on," she said. "The next thing we knew, there were three or four more gun shots and everybody just looked at each other - and we knew."
Stacy Boylan, the father of a woman who survived the shooting, told CNN that his daughter had described how the gunman asked his victims to state their religion before opening fire.
According to Mr Boylan, his daughter said the gunman told the Christians he killed that they were about "going to see God in just about one second".
Another student who survived the shooting, Kortney Moore, gave a similar account to a local newspaper, The News-Review.
The 3,000-student school is located in Roseburg, Oregon, a rural area about 175 miles (280 km) south of Portland.
Hundreds of people gathered for a vigil in a Roseburg park in the evening.
In audio from police radio channels an officer can be heard saying the suspect was down and that there were "multiple gunshot wounds", and calling for multiple ambulances to go the scene.
The suspect supposedly used a "long gun".
Students were transported by bus to a local fairground to be reunited with their loved ones.
According to Umpqua Community College's website, the average age of students is about 38.


A recovered artwork by "Pitman painter" Norman Cornish has sold at auction.

The painting, entitled Men Drinking in a Pub, was on a bath panel and found during renovation of the artist's previous home in Whitworth Terrace, Spennymoor.
It appears to have another work on the reverse, partly covered by wall paint.
There was no signature, but it was authenticated by the artist's son-in-law, and was sold to an anonymous bidder for £2,000.
John Anderson, of auctioneers Anderson and Garland, described it as a "a piece of salvage that may yield a masterpiece".
Norman Cornish, who died last year, started working in the mines when he was 14 and became famous for his paintings of everyday life in the industrial North East after attending the Pitman's Academy.
In January, an early self-portrait with a hidden portrait of his wife on the other side was sold for £13,500.


An Asda supermarket in Manchester is introducing a "quiet hour" to help autistic shoppers who can feel stressed by noise.

The Cheetham Hill Asda Living store will turn off escalators, screens and music for an hour on Saturday 7 May.
Customers will also be offered a picture map of the supermarket.
General manager Simon Lea came up with the idea after watching an autistic child and his mother struggle on the shop floor.

"When we open the doors you will be able to hear a pin drop. That's the plan," Mr Lea told the Manchester Evening News.
"I suffered for many years with anxiety and I used to absolutely hate going into busy stores. If we can make a few small changes to give these customers a better shopping experience and make them comfortable then I know the store will be a better place to shop for everyone," Mr Lea said.
The store will open an hour early and no announcements will be made during the quiet hour between 08:00 and 09:00 BST.
Source: The National Autistic Society
Asda said it would monitor feedback from the trial and would consider rolling it out to other stores.
The National Autistic Society (NAS) said it welcomed the move as shops and other public spaces could be "extremely challenging" because of bright lights, strong smells and crowds.
NAS Campaign manager Tom Madders said: "It can cause [autistic people] to feel overwhelmed by 'too much information'. This can be excruciatingly painful or cause extreme anxiety. This may lead to a meltdown or - all too often - people avoid these places and choose not to go out at all.
"Asda's initiative is a great example of an organisation taking the trouble to understand how autistic people experience the world and we hope other retailers are inspired to follow their example."


More than two thirds of police investigations into thefts and burglaries have been closed with no suspect ever being identified.

The BBC analysed some 18 million crimes over a five-year period across 43 police forces in England and Wales.
Charity Victim Support said victims should be able to review police decisions not to investigate crimes.
Police say they follow up all evidence but had "limited resources" and had to prioritise.
BBC England's data unit compiled the figures between 2012 and 2016 from the official police data website, which goes into greater detail than the published crime statistics. The investigation focussed on crime cases that were closed because no suspect had been identified.
It found:
One force has resubmitted its data after analysis showed it had some of the highest rates of unsolved crimes.  Surrey Police stressed its figures were in line with the national average.
Victim Support spokeswoman Rachel Almeida said: "It is imperative the police explore every avenue when investigating a crime.
"It is also vital that decisions made by the police about investigations, and the reasoning behind their decisions, are clearly and fully communicated with victims so they do not feel they have been left in the dark."

Figures are for crimes between January 2012 and December 2016 except for bicycle theft, which starts from 2013, while possession of weapons, public order and violence and sexual offences start from 2014. Surrey Police disputes its statistics and is re-submitting its data.
Jenni Morton-Humphreys ended up "stealing" her own bicycle back after tricking the culprit by pretending she wanted to buy it.
Avon and Somerset Police said they had carried out a full investigation but "exhausted all current possible lines of inquiry".
Bicycle theft was the crime where investigations were most commonly closed without a suspect being identified.
Ms Morton-Humphreys found her £800 Cube bike after appealing for help on Facebook. She then pretended she wanted to try it out before buying it, but rode away.
She said: "I cycled on the pavement, fell off a couple of times, then I saw a corner, took it and cycled as fast as I could and didn't look back."
The police said they advise against people "taking matters into their own hands" due to the risks and because it "provides criminals with an opportunity to destroy evidence before we can investigate them."
While some forces had closed investigations because no suspect was found, others left them listed as under investigation.
The Metropolitan Police listed just 41% of bicycle thefts as "no suspect identified", but its data showed more than half of investigations dated back to 2013 still apparently open.
Sam Jones, Cycling UK campaigns co-ordinator, said: "Bike theft and the tracing of stolen bikes has long been a problem which plagues both the police and cyclists. While Cycling UK understands the difficulties of hunting down individual bikes, we believe targeting the market itself would be a more effective use of police time and resource.
"Clamping down on well-known market places for stolen bikes, including online forums, would swiftly begin to bear fruit."
West Midlands Police Superintendent Andy Beard said: "We will always carry out proportionate investigations and in cases where there is evidence or clear lines of inquiry they will be followed up by investigators."
Mr Beard said a large proportion of vehicle thefts occurred overnight when there were "limited evidential opportunities", and that around a quarter of those thefts were as a result of drivers leaving their vehicles unsecure.
"Thousands of offences a year could be prevented by people taking simple car security measures," he said.
Greater Manchester Deputy Chief Constable Ian Pilling said: "Our resources are limited and we cannot do everything we would want to. We have to prioritise our workload to focus on the most serious crime which represents the greatest threat, harm and risk to the public.
"This means that we will assess every crime reported to us and that we will make decisions based on the threat and risk involved and on the likelihood of arresting and convicting the offender.
"In many crimes, there are no witnesses, CCTV or forensic opportunities, which means there are no leads for the officer to investigate further."
Surrey Police said the force was re-submitting its records to the database as the figures were "wrong".
A spokeswoman said: "Since April 2014... Surrey Police's statistics have consistently been in the mid-40% range. As a result of the inaccuracies in the data, having been identified through this inquiry, Surrey Police is re-submitting its data to get this corrected."
Hertfordshire Police said it was "determined to rigorously record crime".
A spokesman said: "Our priority is that we put victims at the centre of policing and ensure they are treated with compassion, care and support throughout so that they have the confidence to report crime to us."
The BBC England Data Unit downloaded the street level crime data from the official police data site. We excluded anti-social behaviour as no outcome category is recorded. We also excluded the British Transport Police and Police Service Northern Ireland for the same reason. Police Scotland data is not kept at this site.
The data provides details of individual crimes at street level, including an approximate location, the month and year it occurred, the type of crime and the last known outcome.
Separate annual figures released by the Home Office show just under half of all crimes (48%) had their investigations completed with no suspects identified in 2015-16.  This data is supplied by forces to the Home Office and is "quality assured" by statisticians, whereas the figures in the police data are constantly being updated, providing a "snap-shot" of crimes.
The police data analysed by the BBC covers five years rather than a single 12-month period.


Anzhi Makhachkala head coach Guus Hiddink has insisted the Russian club will not be held to ransom or "pay stupid amounts of money" for players.

Six weeks ago he broke the club's transfer record to bring Willian to the Dynamo Stadium for £30m and the Brazil midfielder is not the first expensive outlay made by the Dagestan club.
Local billionaire and owner Suleyman Kerimov's previous purchases include Samuel Eto'o (£23.7m), Lacina Traore (£15.8m) and Polygus Gold. The latter is not an international striker, it is Russia's largest producer of the precious metal and Kerimov is owner of a significant stake.
Hiddink has been in charge of Anzhi for just over a year and he believes they have become a much more "professional" outfit in that time. With that in mind the Dutchman says they will no longer accept having to pay over the odds to convince clubs to sell to them, or pay over the odds to persuade players to come to Russia.
"When Anzhi comes now all the places say 'OK we double the price'. That's what we don't do any more," he told the BBC's World Football programme.
"The players are not saying 'Anzhi what is that? What should I do?' That's because in one year the club has become known and also we have a philosophy that we don't go into ridiculous amounts of money, although [the club] can afford it.
"Not just in Russia image-wise, but also in Europe, people take the club more seriously because the approach inside the club is serious."
Their Europa League exit to Newcastle on Thursday will come as a blow but a first appearance in the Champions League would certainly help to further sway opinion.
Anzhi are second in the Russian Premier League and despite a shock defeat by second-from-bottom Mordovia Saransk in their first game since the resumption of the domestic season, they are considered genuine title contenders.
A first-placed finish would guarantee a group stage spot in the continent's elite club competition, while finishing second would be enough to take them into a two-legged play-off for a group place.
Hiddink's side are in strong company though. They sit five points behind league leaders CSKA Moscow and three above reigning champions Zenit St Petersburg. Their rivals boast a joint-record three Russian Premier League titles since its inception in 2002.
But it is as much Anzhi's work off the pitch as on it that is turning them into the kind of club the Dutchman wants them to be.
"When we started a year ago it was chaotic within the team but I think the club has been transformed," he said.
"The new stadium is built, the academy is constructed. We have the aim to try to mix ourselves in with the Moscow clubs and also with Zenit.
"It's not just that there is money from an owner who doesn't think and just buys and buys - that's not the philosophy or the strategy. But of course we do still buy - you see Willian."
Hiddink describes his latest signing as "future orientated"  but whether he will be there to see this forward thinking bear fruit is another matter. He confessed this week that he would consider returning to manage in England, although he has not ruled out remaining in his current job beyond the end of the season.
"If they show the ambition that they are showing and improve on all parts of the club then I don't know if I'll go," admitted Hiddink.
"Regarding other clubs, I'm 66 now and nearly 67 but as long as I feel energetic and I'm not becoming an old, bitter, sour man then I can go on.
"I try to reflect in my surroundings to see if I'm getting cynical. I can't predict where I'll be next season."
Many will already have put two and two together and concluded Hiddink will be back at Chelsea next year.
Hiddink won the FA Cup during his three-month stint with the west London club in 2009. He lost only one game, to Tottenham, and was within seconds of taking the club to the Champions League final before an injury-time Andres Iniesta goal at Stamford Bridge gave Barcelona victory on the away goals rule.
And while there is no way Hiddink will nail his colours to the Stamford Bridge mast - or any other - just yet, he did admit to being particularly proud of one achievement that not all his predecessors or successors under another big-spending Russian owner can boast.
"I'm the only manager who was not sacked I think," he joked.

A drawing by US President Donald Trump has sold at auction for $29,184 (Â£22,000).

It depicts the Manhattan skyline, with Trump Tower prominent.
It was originally drawn for a charity auction in 2005 but the winner later passed it on to the LA-based Nate D Sanders auction house.
Auctioneer Michael Kirk told journalists from artnews.com that the drawing had received five times more interest than the firm was used to.
"It's attracted interest from not just Trump followers, but also presidential memorabilia collectors," he said.
There were 11 bids for the drawing, starting at $9,000.
Other Trump memorabilia sold in the past includes a Ferrari, a set of golf clubs, and a bottle of whisky signed by him.


England have called up centre Luther Burrell to replace injured Manu Tuilagi for next month's tour of Australia.

Burrell, 28, was overlooked by head coach Eddie Jones for this year's Six Nations, but scored a try in Sunday's 27-13 win over Wales at Twickenham.
The Northampton back has been selected ahead of Bath centre Ollie Devoto, who won his first cap on Sunday.
"It's a great opportunity for Luther, who I thought played really well yesterday," Jones said.
"He carried the ball well, defended with aggression and scored an excellent try.
"It was a tough selection call. Ollie Devoto has really impressed during his recent time in the England camp. We wish him a successful tour to South Africa with the Saxons."
Burrell was omitted from the first squad named by Jones in January on the grounds of being "grossly overweight".
"The beauty of Eddie is that he's a very honest bloke," he said.
"If you're not pulling your weight then he won't beat around the bush, he will tell you.
"He's been in constant contact with me. He's been brilliant with me and my development."
England, who fly out to Australia on Tuesday, play the first of three Tests against the World Cup runners-up in Brisbane on Saturday, 11 June.
Leicester centre Tuilagi has missed out on the tour with a hamstring injury.

STV Group has appointed the head of ITV's digital and pay TV strategy as its new chief executive.

Simon Pitts will replace Rob Woodward, who announced in April that he would step down from the STV board within 12 months.
Mr Pitts is currently managing director of online, pay TV, interactive and technology at ITV, having spent 17 years at the company.
He will join the STV board on 3 January.
In a statement, STV said that Mr Pitts had overseen strong growth in ITV's digital businesses and had been "one of the main architects of the company's recent transformation".
STV chairwoman Margaret Ford said: "The combination of Simon's sector experience, drive and track record in delivering strategic change make him an ideal candidate to lead STV's next phase of growth."
Mr Pitts said: "I have got to know STV well during my time at ITV and I'm excited by the opportunity to lead a company with such a strong brand and relationship with its audience.
"I'm looking forward to working with everyone at STV to make the most of its great potential in the future."


He scores goals by the hatful, he makes headlines like almost nobody else - and now he says he is finally coming to the Premier League with Manchester United.

From his records to his skills, from stealing bikes to putting his country on the map, how much do you really know about Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
Or lack of. It has to be. It's an easy warm-up for our list - but forgive us, it sets the tone. When asked by Arsenal to go for a trial in 2000, his response was unequivocal: "No way. Zlatan doesn't do auditions."
You might have guessed it, but Zlatan was a lively youngster. He regularly stole bikes so he could get to training with the Malmo youth team. You can even buy "Zlatan: The Bicycle Thief" T-shirts. We don't condone it, kids..
You should never drop it on the floor, but Zlatan has a special way to keep gum off the deck - he does keepy uppies with it and catches it in his mouth. If you try it, please remember the five-second rule…
Ordered by his Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola to comply with a club rule to "only" drive an Audi to training, Ibrahimovic didn't fancy playing ball. He turned up in his Ferrari Enzo. "It caused a scene."
Ibrahimovic can speak fluent Swedish, Bosnian, English, Spanish and Italian. As a polyglot, he puts his skills to good use - he abuses French refs in English, so they don't know what he's saying.
We can expect Messrs Clattenburg, Foy and co to get some choice Swedish coming their way...
During his spell at Barcelona, Ibrahimovic claimed the Spanish giants didn't know how to use him. They were treating him like a family car, not a sports car.
"When you buy me, you are buying a Ferrari. If you drive a Ferrari you put premium fuel in the tank, you drive onto the motorway and you floor the accelerator," he said.
"Pep Guardiola filled up with diesel and went for a spin in the countryside. If that's what he wanted, he should have bought himself a Fiat from the start."
Say no more.
Ibrahimovic and Guardiola don't get on. They had a huge screaming match during the Swede's last match at Barcelona. Guardiola won that one, and Zlatan departed the Nou Camp. They'll meet again when the Manchester teams meet in China later in July.
You don't score the goals that Ibrahimovic has without having a big opinion of yourself - and he believes he has done more for his nation than anyone else. Look away now Alfred Nobel, Ingmar Bergman...
"I put Sweden on the map," he said.
"People know what Sweden is because of me now. The way that I opened the door for the young people that come from where I come from and that have a different background, that is what I want to be remembered for."
Sorry to disappoint, but in his 2015 autobiography "I Am Zlatan", large parts of the book weren't his actual quotes at all. "I don't think I have any real quotes from him," his ghostwriter admitted after it was published.
When he does finally retire, Ibrahimovic won't be short of offers of employment. However, he does have some more unusual plans - to get ringside and hit the scorecards.
"I am a black belt in taekwondo," he said. "I have been asked to judge in competitions around the world but, because of football, I have not been able to. When I retire that would interest me."
I can't see many fighters arguing with his decisions...
Ibrahimovic will no doubt pocket a decent signing-on fee at Old Trafford. But how about making him a monarch?
King Zlatan of Manchester? Eric Cantona may have had a word.
The Swede would have been a royal though, had he taken up the offer to join Rot-Weiss Oberhausen, a fourth-tier club in Germany. That's what the club claimed, at any rate.
He's not shy in coming forward on this one, so this is hardly a surprising quote. "We usually say you cannot become a legend before death. But I am a living legend."
He also rolled out the 'L word' when he announced he was leaving Paris St-Germain.
Unlike Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Ibrahimovic like each other. A lot. "From being a cat, I felt like a lion," said the striker. "I felt like the Terminator." And on it goes. Prepare for a love-in of the highest order. It'll be quotable too.
Forget the bogeyman, that's not what keeps Ibrahimovic awake. Former Juventus team-mate Adrian Mutu recalls one night when they were room sharing.
"Adi wake up," Ibrahimovic said. "I had a nightmare. I dreamed Ronaldo was better than me!"
He would only go back to sleep when Mutu reassured him: "You are the best in the world! Calm down!"

He's had a long career but Ibrahimovic is showing no signs of slowing down just yet, scoring 38 goals in 31 league games last season for PSG.
In fact, he has scored a goal every 119.9 minutes in the five big European leagues to date. If he keeps that up, and plays in all 38 league games for United, expect 28 in the Premier League...
Such was a young Ibrahimovic's disruptive influence when he was breaking into the team at Malmo in his early days, one player began a petition to get rid of him. Ibrahimovic stayed, the future of his team-mate is unclear...
That is what United are now they've signed Ibrahimovic for free. According to one expert, his signing could be worth as much as £50m to the club. That's a lot of Zs in the club shop.
Ibrahimovic has added two major records to his lengthy CV. First, he became Sweden's record goalscorer, moving past Sven Rydell's long-standing tally of 49. He eventually retired at the end of the Euro 2016 campaign on 62 goals in 116 caps.
Only the Republic of Ireland's Robbie Keane (67) has more among current internationals.
More impressively, perhaps, is the fact that Ibrahimovic is PSG's record goalscorer, despite only moving to the French capital in 2012. He leaves with 156 goals in all competitions, blitzing Pauleta's previous best of 109.

In 2014, the Swedish Postal Service issued Ibrahimovic stamps. Of course they did.
Dubbed "Zlamps", they were a huge hit and five million were pre-ordered before they were even launched. Dear Zlatan, love Zlatan.
We had to mention them, didn't we? Thirty trophies in four countries for six teams. He's going to need a big attic...
The Swede was "born to play for United", so says Old Trafford goalkeeping great Peter Schmeichel, who believes he could be like Eric Cantona. Collar up, collar down? Big decision.
And so it goes on, it's Guardiola v Ibrahimovic again. According to one of Barcelona's vice-presidents Carles Vilarrubi, the striker threatened to beat Guardiola up "in front of the press" unless he was allowed to leave the club. He didn't last much longer.
Thursday nights in the Europa League are going to be something new for Ibrahimovic to enjoy/endure for Manchester United this season. He had played in the Champions League every season since 2002, scoring 48 times.
Only six players have scored more.
Let's be honest, he can afford it, but it was still a nice gesture when Ibrahimovic got all of his PSG team-mates a new Xbox One console before the machine was even released. They even came with each player's name and squad number etched on the top.
Yes, they did also have the Swede's signature, naturally. But that's a small price to pay...
He's a YouTube sensation. Of course he is. A song made in his name by Sanjin and Youthman (don't ask) has had five million views. We take no responsibility for your enjoyment, or otherwise of this video. It's got chickens, a horse and a mouth organ. No, really.
If you're a world-class superstar, sometimes you can't trust the media to get your point across.
Not a problem when you are Ibrahimovic - just interview yourself.
That's what the Swede did before PSG's Champions League tie with Manchester City last season. He also did it before the Euro 2016 group match against Italy.
However, for a man who is full of so many good quotes, Zlatan got a rubbish interview out of Zlatan...

Torchlight shines on a wall with paintings of battle scenes from the late 17th Century.

It's just after 17:00 local time, so there's no power yet - the electricity comes on at 18:00.
The battery-powered beam reveals a familiar picture of a king on a white horse.
He is the Dutch-born British monarch King William III, a man whose image is on many gable walls in Northern Ireland.
But this is one-and-a-half continents away from Belfast.
I'm on the outskirts of Accra, in the home of Dennis Tette Tay, the acting grand master of the Orange Order in Ghana.
Dennis's living room is full of photos, paintings and certificates relating to the order.
He tells me Orangeism is "in his soul".
One photo pictures Dennis in a sash, along with Emmanuel Aboki Essien, who was the first African to be president of the Imperial Orange Council, the leader of worldwide Orangeism.
"Maybe I will be the second," says Dennis with a gentle laugh.
The Orange Order was founded 220 years ago, named after the king who defeated a Catholic army at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
On 31 August BBC Radio 4 will broadcast Orangemen On The Equator.
It is perhaps unsurprising that the order has outposts in countries like Australia and Canada where ex-pats from Northern Ireland have emigrated.
But that is not how the order took root in the West African countries Ghana and Togo.
The first Orange lodge in what is now Ghana was founded in 1918.
Then it was a British colony, the Gold Coast.
A postal worker read about the order in a newspaper and wrote to the organisation in England asking to join.
The Grand Orange Lodge of Ghana, like the eight other national grand lodges, operates independently while maintaining links with the global Orange organisation.
The order says there are several hundred members in Ghana but numbers have declined.
One of the reasons why it was eager to tell us its story was to correct myth and rumour.
In Ghana, there is often suspicion around lodge-based organisations.
Popular films show members engaged in occult activities.
Orangemen and women find this hurtful and emphasise that their Orangeism is simply a way to practise their Protestant faith.
Deputy grand master Togbi Subo II says: "The order enlightens one's spiritual living.
"When you go deep into the learning and doctrines of the order, you know you are closer to Christ."
Northern Ireland is a much more secular society.
There the organisation is considering its future direction as the Troubles recedes further into the past.
A Ghanaian flag is one of nine flying outside the Museum of Orange Heritage in Belfast.
It is one of two museums recently opened by the order, in a project that they regard as something of a watershed.
"We have to stay relevant," says Drew Nelson, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of Ireland.
"If we cut ourselves off from society and retreat behind the walls, we will eventually fade from the pages of history."
So the museums tell the Orange story from the order's point of view, and they are hoping to attract Catholics to visit.
In Northern Ireland, the Protestant brotherhood has been viewed by many Irish nationalists as anti-Catholic.
Parading disputes, such as those at Drumcree in the 1990s and north Belfast more recently, have generated negative headlines.
But the order says the true essence of its organisation is faith and fraternity, and that Orangeism's continued existence abroad shows this.
Making this programme took us from the humid, heaving city of Accra, to the sea-ravaged but resilient town of Keta, where Ghanaian Orangeism was born.
Producer Conor Garrett and I got a sense of the unity of Ghana's numerous ethnic groups on the country's Independence Day.
We also had the rare experience of observing a Ghanaian Orange lodge meeting in a seaside church with an unfinished Orange hall outside.
The journey also featured the tri-annual conference of international Orange Order members, in Liverpool, and the flagship Twelfth of July parade in Bessbrook, County Armagh.
The order in Ulster points out that the vast majority of Orange marches are like that one - peaceful and non-contentious.
Post-colonial Ghana and post-conflict Northern Ireland are very different cultural contexts.
In Ghana, parading has never been controversial.
But there hasn't been an Orange march for some years now.
However, one of the favourite hymns of the Ghanaian Orange Order members is Marching To Zion.
Like their counterparts in Northern Ireland, they often feel maligned and misunderstood, though not for the same reasons.
They may be numbered in the hundreds rather than the tens of thousands, but the Orangemen on the equator have a deep commitment to the fraternity founded in Ireland in 1795.
As they have faith for new members to carry them into a second century, they also hope to see a time in the Order's heartland where belief will be unifying rather than divisive.
Togbi Subo II says: "It is our prayer that one day misunderstanding will be over in Ireland."
Orangemen On The Equator will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 20:00 BST on Monday 31 August, and will be available on the BBC iPlayer.


Charlton Athletic have signed goalkeeper Stephen Henderson from West Ham on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old made two appearances in the League Cup for the Hammers, but has played Championship football for Ipswich, Portsmouth, Bristol City and Bournemouth.
Henderson started his career at Aston Villa and has also played on loan for Yeovil, Aldershot, Wycombe and York.
"I'm very excited and can't wait to get started," said Henderson.
"I'm delighted to get it done. It was a pretty sharp move and I'm very happy to be here."
The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international - Charlton's eighth signing of the summer - worked with Addicks goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts at Yeovil during the 2010-11 season.


Microsoft has produced a version of its database software that runs on the rival Linux operating system.

The version of SQL Server software it has made for Linux will be released in mid-2017, it said in a blogpost.
The creation of the software is a significant step for Microsoft which has traditionally focused on its core Windows operating system.
It is one of several steps it has taken to open up its software to rivals under boss Satya Nadella.
Microsoft's SQL Server is one of the company's core products and the Windows version is used by many customers to run and manage databases.
Scott Guthrie, head of Microsoft's cloud and enterprise group, said the Linux version was currently being previewed and tested by customers but would be fully available by the middle of next year. He said Renault's Formula 1 racing team was one of the first test customers for the code.
Microsoft has about a 21% share of the database software market, suggest figures from analyst firm Gartner.
Oracle is the market leader and the release of SQL Server for Linux will help Microsoft compete with that company, it said.
Gartner analyst Merv Adrian told Reuters that the move made sense because although business spending on technology had been "lacklustre" the amount of cash firms spent to maintain and update database software had kept rising.
Mr Adrian said Oracle would undoubtedly notice Microsoft's step into the Linux market.
"It's a significant competitive threat they didn't have before," he said.
The move also puts Microsoft into more direct competition with IBM and SAP. There are also a lot of free Linux-based database programs available.
The release of SQL Server is one among several steps Microsoft has taken to work more closely with Linux and its advocates.
The data centre management software Microsoft uses for its Azure service is based on Linux; it has also produced software that helps people manage Linux servers and has released an analytics package called R Server that works with several different versions of Linux.
The greater willingness to work with former rivals has been one of the hallmarks of boss Satya Nadella's reign at Microsoft. Mr Nadella took over as chief executive in February 2014.
