Armand Gnanduillet scored the equaliser as Blackpool came from two goals down to snatch a draw against Carlisle.

Gnanduillet struck the base of a post for the Seasiders with a close-range header after 10 minutes before Jack Payne's 25-yard strike was superbly tipped over by Mark Gillespie.
Carlisle goalkeeper Gillespie was instrumental on the stroke of half-time, saving first from Kyle Vassell before denying Tom Aldred at point-blank range.
Despite their first-half dominance, the hosts were behind after 51 minutes as Jabo Ibehre's deflected 25-yard shot was tipped against the bar by Sam Slocombe but the rebound fell to Charlie Wyke who tapped home from two yards.
Carlisle, who hold the division's only unbeaten record, doubled their advantage seven minutes later when Michael Raynes rose highest to nod home Nicky Adams' free-kick.
Blackpool pulled one back straight from the restart as Gnanduillet teed up strike-partner Vassell who nodded past Gillespie from four yards.
Forward Gnanduillet then ensured his side a share of the spoils, latching on to a ball over the top and brushing aside defender Raynes before firing past the onrushing Gillespie 16 minutes from time.

Google is in talks with regulators over nearly 50 "right to be forgotten" cases it is accused of getting wrong.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it hoped to resolve the dispute during a round of talks, but noted that it had enforcement powers available should they fail.
Google said it was taking its responsibilities seriously.
The news comes exactly one year since the controversial ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Along with other search engines, the internet giant has been obliged to remove links to articles that contain "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" information about an individual.
Under the decision, the person named must make a request to have the links removed from the results for a specific search.
Google has consistently said that it considers it a mistake to make it the arbiter in such cases, as the ruling effectively does.
The ICO confirmed to the BBC that it was discussing 48 cases it believed Google had not got "quite right" and has asked the internet giant to revise its decisions.
The action available to the ICO, should the discussions over those cases fail, includes a fine and a legally binding enforcement notice that could lead to court action, if the firm refused to comply.
But the body would only take such action if it found that Google's processes were not fit for purpose, rather than as a direct reaction to a single complaint.
An ICO spokesman said: "Since the details of the right to be forgotten ruling were first announced, we have handled over 183 complaints from those unhappy with Google's response to their takedown request.
"In around three-quarters of these cases, we have ruled that Google was correct to turn down an individual's request to have their information removed. This suggests that, for the most part, Google are getting the balance right between the protection of the individual's privacy and the interest of internet users."
But, it said, there were still a "significant number of cases where we believe Google haven't got it quite right and they have been asked to revise their decision".
While Google has done so in "many cases", the ICO said it was "looking to resolve the remaining cases through discussion and negotiation with Google, though we have enforcement powers available to us if required".
A Google spokesman said: "We haven't always got privacy right in Europe, not just because of errors we've made, but our attitude too. But our swift and thoughtful implementation of the right to be forgotten ruling showed that for Google this was a genuine 'we get it' moment.
"We've also worked hard to give users more control over the data we collect and we're looking at how to make those tools easier to find and use. So stay tuned."
Free speech campaigners have claimed that the ruling makes it easier for people to hide negative - though fair and accurate - references to them online and there have been sites set up to track the links taken down.
The BBC said in October 2014 that it would publish a list of its articles to which links have been taken down. A spokesman said on Wednesday that that remained its intention, though a decision on when and where to publish has not yet been taken.
However, others have pointed out that the ruling helps people avoid bad news stories unfairly dominating the results of searches related to them.
Google has said that it has received more than 250,000 requests to remove about 920,000 links, of which 41.3% have been removed from its search results, according to its transparency report.
While the ruling only applies to European sites, the deputy information commissioner David Smith told the Times that he believed Google should remove links on its US domain as well.
The ICO is also running a review of websites and apps used by children, it announced on Tuesday.
It will look at how information collection is explained and what parental permission is sought on 50 websites and apps.
It said: "The same approach will be taken by 28 other privacy enforcement authorities from around the world, with a view to publishing a combined report in the autumn. The ICO will also consider action against any website or app that it finds to be breaking the Data Protection Act."

Joseph Fiennes has admitted he was "shocked" to be cast as Michael Jackson in a TV programme for Sky Arts.

The actor plays the singer in the comedy about a supposed road trip taken by Jackson, Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor after the 9/11 terror attacks.
Some fans have reacted angrily to the casting, but Fiennes said he thought Jackson was "probably closer to my colour than his original colour".
Sky Arts said producers had "creative freedom" in the casting.
Fiennes said he believed Jackson - who died in 2009 - had a "pigmentation issue" with his skin, so the issue of race should not come into play.
But he told Entertainment Tonight: "I'm a white, middle-class guy from London - I'm as shocked [about the casting] as you might be.
"It's a light comedy look. It's not in any way malicious. It's actually endearing. And the more I actually looked at Michael - it's great, as an actor, to have so much to copy and look at in interviews - the more I kind of fell in love with him."
Describing the plot of the 30-minute programme - titled Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon - Fiennes said: "Michael and two of his best buddies, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando, happened to be in New York the night before 9/11.
"It was a concert Michael was giving, and Brando was introducing him on stage.
"I don't know if this is an urban legend or if it's true, but the three of them couldn't get out because air space was shut down, so the three of them jumped in a car and went on a road trip."
Stockard Channing, who is best known for her roles in TV drama The West Wing and musical film Grease, is playing Taylor in the comedy with Scottish actor Brian Cox starring as Brando.
There has been a backlash on Twitter to the casting, with some using the hashtag #whitewashing and others claiming they thought the story was actually from satirical magazine The Onion.
CNN entertainment reporter Chris Witherspoon posted a 1993 Jackson interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which he discussed rumours he had wanted a white child to play him in a TV commercial, telling the presenter: "Why would I want a white child to play me? I'm a black American (...) I am proud of my race.  I am proud of who I am."
Angela Bassett, who played Tina Turner in biopic What's Love Got to Do With It, joked on Twitter she had "ordered violet contacts" and was "ready" to play Taylor after Sleepy Hollow star Orlando Jones suggested she play the actress.
The story about the road trip first came to light in a 2011 Vanity Fair article, which quoted a former employee of Jackson as saying: "They actually got as far as Ohio - all three of them, in a car they drove themselves!"
Brando was said to have annoyed his friends by wanting to stop at nearly every fast food restaurant they passed on the way.
But one of Taylor's assistants dismissed the claims, saying the star had actually stayed in New York and visited Ground Zero in the days after the attack.
The comedy will be broadcast later this year as part of a series on unlikely stories from the history of arts and culture.
A Sky Arts spokesman said: "Sky Arts gives producers the creative freedom to cast roles as they wish, within the diversity framework which we have set."


A narrow section of the Bristol and Bath cycle route has reopened as part of £80,000 improvements.

The section between Teewell Hill and west of Staple Hill tunnel was closed for bridge-widening work and for new foundations to be put in place.
New pedestrian footways and improved cycle facilities were also installed.
Mark King from South Gloucestershire Council apologised for any inconvenience to local people but stressed the work was "essential".
"Additional work to complete the bridge widening improvements will continue over the next three months which will require short-term closures from time to time," he added.
"Any such closures will be clearly signposted in advance and we will keep residents notified via our website and social media."
During the path closure, South Gloucestershire Council also carried out "essential maintenance work" to the Staple Hill tunnel, which included re-pointing the arch and airshafts.


Northern Ireland's Michael Hoey has moved to within two shots of the lead during the weather delayed Indian Open.

Hoey had picked up two shots after 12 holes of his third round to climb to four-under par when play was suspended for the day in New Delhi.
Defending champion SSP Chawrasia, Eddie Pepperell and Carlos Pigem are tied on six-under ahead of the final day.
Over half the field has yet to compete 54 holes after the threat of lightning had disrupted the opening two rounds.
Hoey started his third round on two-under par and birdies on the 5th, 9th and 11th holes saw him move to within a shot of the lead as the light began to fade.
The Ballymoney man finished the day with his first bogey of the round as his par putt on the 12th just lipped-out.
Chawrasia, Pepperell and Pigem are all tied on six-under par after 11 holes of their third rounds with Spain's Pigem picking-up four shots to move into contention before play was halted.
Gavin Green of Malaysia is just a shot off the lead in fourth place after a run of six consecutive birdies during his third round.
Hoey, who lost his European Tour playing card last year, is tied for fifth place alongside England's David Horsey.
Ireland's Paul Dunne missed the weekend cut after a second round 83 left him on 11-over par.


It is as if the campaign is still going on.

Two weeks away from his inauguration, Donald Trump seems to prefer the role of "candidate" -  flaying his opponents and aiming arrows at the federal government from the enemy camp.
It is almost as if he does not want to accept fully that he is the new chief executive who will be dealing with official Washington from the moment he drives back from the Capitol as the president on 20 January.
And his weapon of choice, forged for him like a legendary warrior's sword in the furnace of the new technology, is Twitter.
No president-elect has battled like this.
Most of them go to ground, secluded with the staff who will take over the West Wing, and make their plans. Dream their dreams, you might say.
They have followed the golden rule: do not give too much away, because it will make life more difficult when the inauguration is over and the business of power begins.
The Trump Twitter account is not just a break with that pattern, but a challenge to the very idea.
His New Year tweet (one of them, I should say) wished love to everyone "including my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do".
The implication, of course, is that he does know what he is going to do. The trouble with his Twitter account is that it makes you wonder.
More than 34,000 tweets to nearly 19 million followers (many "enemies" among them, no doubt) and a narrative that has become a kind of stream of consciousness. They read like the unfiltered, disconnected thoughts of someone for whom patience is an ugly word.
You always have to say something, even if you say the opposite the next day. On Twitter, who cares?
Yet, the messages are powerful. One contemptuous tweet about the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives winding down the Office of Congressional Ethics led them to beat a humiliating retreat and cancel the plan.
Mr Trump's choice as White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said the other day: "Whatever he tweets, he is going to drive the news."
And, bizarre though it may seem, the South Korean government is poring over them. The JoongAng Daily reported that a Twitter-watching position had been set up in the foreign ministry in Seoul "because we don't yet have an insight into his foreign policies".
What insight will they get from tweets which have criticised the Central Intelligence Agency, praised Julian Assange - the Whistleblower of WikiLeaks and a bete noire to most Republicans - and praised President Putin, who gets more friendly treatment than all Democrats and some Republicans at home?
And remarkably the tweets take aim at the entire intelligence community in Washington. What precisely are the South Koreans meant to make of that?
Not too much, you may think, because who can tell how this mercurial candidate is going to be moulded into a president? We still do not know and what his Twitter account tells us - colourfully, astonishingly, sometimes hilariously - is that he is refusing to let us know.
Far from revealing what a Trump presidency is going to be like - as he says his tweets do - they have the effect of enveloping him in a thick fog.
Yes we know he will "make America great again", cut immigration, build his wall, cut taxes, be Israel's greatest ally and so on. But how he is going to build a White House team on foreign affairs and security, conduct relations with Capitol Hill, deal with allies in Nato and the rolling chaos in the Middle East, we have very little idea.
And when the first crisis arrives - as it will before long - will he be able to find the calm that he needs?
No president-elect in modern times has said so much and revealed so little.
We know how Mr Trump feels about almost everything, but about priorities, his approach to the compromises of power, the way he will deal with the bureaucracy - in practice we know very little.
A week or two before election day in November, one of his close associates told me that, if he won, Mr Trump had agreed that in office he would relinquish control of that Twitter account, because it would be inappropriate in the White House.
The satirists' loss, certainly. But, if it happens, a step into reality, at last.
Some day he has to stop being the candidate and playing that game, even though he enjoys it so much.
So the first great test for the Trump White House team is surely getting his finger off that keyboard.

Shares in tech giant Apple fell close to 9% in after-hours trading after the firm reported flat profits of $13.1bn (£7.9bn) during the quarter ending 28 December.

While earnings beat expectations, sales guidance for the current quarter was lower than analysts expected.
Apple said it sold a record 51 million iPhones and 26 million iPads.
"We are really happy with our record iPhone and iPad sales," said Apple boss Tim Cook in a statement.
Apple said it expected revenue of between $42bn and $44bn for its second quarter of 2014, slightly less than analysts had forecast.
Crucially for analysts, the firm said revenue rose by 29% in the greater China region, which includes China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, compared to the same period last year.
On a conference call to discuss the earnings, Mr Cook said: "We really turned in a stellar quarter in greater China."
Apple announced a deal with the world's biggest mobile phone network, China Mobile, in December, and many investors had been closely watching the earnings for hints on the company's performance in the region.
Apple's phones have been available on China Mobile since 17 January.
"Last week was the best week for activations we've ever had in China," said Mr Cook, while noting that iPhones are only available on China Mobile in 16 cities at the moment.
By the end of the year, Apple hopes to expand its offerings to more than 300 cities.
However, Apple said sales in the rest of the Asia-Pacific region fell 9%, and that profits were hurt by currency fluctuations, particularly with the Japanese yen.
Apple also reported a sales dip in the Americas as well.
This was partially due to stronger than expected sales of the more expensive iPhone 5S.
Apple executives said on the call that it took the firm some time to change its supply chain to provide the US market with more of those phones compared with the cheaper iPhone 5C, primarily aimed at Chinese consumers.
Apple also noted that some US carriers changed their upgrade policies, which hurt sales in the region, as consumers became more reluctant to upgrade aging iPhones.
Sales of iPods - Apple's once iconic music player - fell 52%.
"I think all of us have known for some time that iPod is a declining business," said Mr Cook.
Correction: This story was updated on 29 January 2014 to make it clear that Apple's most recent quarter finished on 28 December.


Nine World War Two veterans have received France's highest honour for bravery, in a special ceremony in Edinburgh.

The Scottish veterans were presented with the Legion d'Honneur, on board a French naval destroyer berthed in Leith.
The award honoured them for the role they played in liberating France during the war.
Many of those being honoured took part in the D-Day landings in June 1944.
The ceremony was the latest in a series that have taken place throughout the UK since the 70th anniversary of D-Day in June 2014, when President Francois Hollande pledged to honour all surviving British veterans who fought in France during the war.
About 3,000 applications were received in the space of a few months, with hundreds of medals awarded so far.
The latest medals were presented on board the destroyer Aquitan by Emmanuel Cocher, the French consul general in Scotland, and Rear Admiral Patrick Chevallereau, the French embassy's defence attachÃ©.
Among those receiving the honour were 95-year-old Hugh Maguire from Armadale in West Lothian, who fought with the Royal Ulster Rifles and took part in the D-Day landings.
The others were Thomas Cave, Cyril Deas, Anthony Delahoy, Alexander Govan, John Greig, William Pritchard, Walter Sharp and Aidan Sprot.
A spokeswoman for the consul general said: "France will never forget the gallantry and bravery they showed in taking part in the liberation of France 70 years ago.
"The actions and sacrifice of these men, and that of so many who fell on the battlefield, was instrumental in bringing back freedom and peace in France and across Europe."


A 23-year-old man has been arrested after a 19-year-old man was stabbed in the back in Belfast city centre.

The victim is in a "stable condition" in hospital following the incident that happened at about 21:25 GMT on Thursday.
Elsewhere, a 30-year-old man was stabbed at Waveney Road in Ballymena, County Antrim, on Thursday afternoon.
Police said a man and a woman, both aged 23, had been released on bail pending further enquiries.
The injured man was described on Friday as being in a "stable condition".
Also, a man who was very seriously injured in a stabbing in west Belfast on Thursday is now also stable in hospital.
He was attacked at Hawthorn Street, near the Falls Road, at about 13.40 GMT.


New Zealand Prime Minister John Key's unexpected announcement that he will resign on 12 December has changed the political game, writes New Zealand political columnist Colin James.

Mr Key's announcement caught even his cabinet by surprise. And it appears to have been unforced.
He told journalists he was not a "career politician" and could not commit to serving out the whole of another parliamentary term as prime minister, and so should leave now to give time for a new leader to settle in.
Few leaders know when it is time to go, he said, and he was determined not to be one of them.
Mr Key's National party has been in power since 2008 on election scores of 45%, 47% and 47%, and averaged 48% in opinion polls in November. Its prospects for a fourth three-year term in the election next year, due by early November, looked good.
Part of that support is Mr Key's personal appeal across a wide spectrum of voters. His personal poll ratings, although down a bit, are still very high. One reason why New Zealand does not share North Atlantic countries' populist surges is his easygoing optimism and empathy.
Another reason is his close working relationship with Deputy Prime Minister Bill English, who is also finance minister.
Mr English has been fiscally cautious, though not austere - weathering the global financial crisis and a devastating earthquake in 2011, which cost the government the equivalent of about 7% of GDP. He has also developed a "social investment" programme aimed at early action to avert later costs.
While the Key government has edged some economic policy rightwards, including a highly controversial partial sale of state-owned enterprises in 2012-13, it has also taken some steps more associated with left-of-centre parties - for example in social housing, in increasing welfare benefits, in setting a 2050 target to rid the country of rodents to preserve native wildlife and in declaring the Kermadec Trench a marine sanctuary. Mr Key also supported gay marriage.
This spread has left less room for the populist New Zealand First party, which averaged 9% in November polls; the left-of centre Labour, which averaged 27%; and the Greens, on 12%.
Mr Key's departure opens some room for those parties. Even if National wins a fourth term in 2017, it is likely to be with a smaller vote and needing New Zealand First.
Up to now it has governed with the support of three very small parties - a Maori rights party (the Maori party), a libertarian party (ACT) and a centrist party (United Future).
Much will depend on who replaces Mr Key. He said he will vote for Mr English if he seeks the job. But Mr English, while highly regarded by cognoscenti, has little charisma and in the 2002 election led National to the lowest score, 21%, for a major party since 1902.
Other contenders include the minister for economic development, tertiary education and science, Steven Joyce - like Key, not a "career politician" - and Paula Bennett, climate change, social housing and associate finance and tourism minister.
None can match Mr Key's personal appeal.
Whoever wins, there will be little change in policy direction before the election. Strong and growing budget surpluses will allow some relaxation of social and other spending and a combination of tax cuts and tax rebates for lower and middle income earners in the 2017 pre-election budget in May.
A bigger change would come if Mr Key's departure enables Labour and Greens to build enough support to form a coalition next year. Both want more active social and environment policies and substantial changes in taxation, to address inequality.
The mood in Labour leader Andrew Little's office after the announcement was buoyant. That came off the back of holding a Labour seat in a by-election on Saturday with an unexpectedly high 66% of the vote.
But the two parties' combined vote will need to be at least 46% to form a coalition, well above their current 39%, or they will need New Zealand First which on current indications is more likely to go with National.
So, while Mr Key's departure changes the game, it may not give it to the other side.


Fifa is sending a delegation to South Sudan to assist in governing the sport in the troubled east African country.

Civil war has wracked South Sudan and the situation remains unstable.
"Fifa will deploy a mission to help with the internal issues of the [football] federation," Fifa secretary-general Fatma Samoura told BBC Sport.
"It will look at a development programme and help to support the country to overcome the political and conflict situation through football."
The Fifa mission is a response to a direct appeal for assistance made to its president Gianni Infantino and Samoura during their recent visit to Abuja, Nigeria, where they met with the South Sudan Football Federation president Chabur Goc Alei.
"We really need the help of Fifa to help us stabilise the situation for football in South Sudan," Goc said, during his personal appeal to the Fifa president.
"Our situation is extremely difficult at the moment. We lost two members of Atlabara club, the champion team in our country, as a result of the recent conflict.
"We have launched, in conjunction with our friends and brothers across Africa, the #FootballForPeaceSouthSudan social media initiative, on Twitter and Facebook.
"But very practical and concrete measures need to be taken by Fifa to help us."
Fifa's delegation is expected to depart for South Sudan's capital, Juba, next week.


A 63-year-old man has been charged with the abduction and murder of a three-year-old British girl in Australia nearly 50 years ago.

Cheryl Grimmer went missing from a shower block at a beach in New South Wales in 1970.
A court heard the British-born man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, required urgent psychiatric treatment.
Police said it was unlikely that the body of the little girl, originally from Bristol, will ever be found.
Man held over one of Australia's biggest mysteries
Speaking outside court in Woollongong, a city south of Sydney, members of the Grimmer family said the latest events had been "traumatising" for them, and they were unable to feel any sense of closure.
Cheryl disappeared from Fairy Meadow beach in Wollongong on the afternoon of 12 January 1970.
She was there with her mother, Carole, and her brothers Ricki, seven, Stephen, five, and Paul, four.
The family had only recently emigrated to Melbourne from Bristol.
Cheryl's disappearance sparked a massive search at the time as one of Australia's longest-running mysteries.
Detectives re-examined the case last year and said they had found three witnesses who said they had seen a teenager "loitering" near the scene.
The accused is due to appear in court again in May.


French police investigating the mysterious disappearance of a family of four have arrested two of their relatives, local media report.

The sister and brother-in-law of Pascal Troadec, one of the missing, have been detained in the city of Brest, where several items belonging to the family have been found.
There is still the possibility that some of them are alive, officials say.
An inquiry into murder, abduction and illegal confinement is under way.
The family lived in a suburb of Nantes, in western France. Pascal and Brigitte, both aged around 50, their son Sebastien, 21, and daughter Charlotte, 18 were last seen on 16 February.
The couple were arrested in Brest, some 300km (186 miles) from Nantes. They had already been questioned by police at the beginning of the investigation, AFP news agency reports, citing unnamed sources.
Prosecutor Pierre Sennes said on Friday that investigators did not exclude the possibility that some of the missing were still alive, French newspaper Le Figaro says.
On Thursday, police found Sebastien's car in Saint-Nazaire - the family's two other cars had been left parked in front of their house.
A day earlier, a social security card and a pair of trousers belonging to Charlotte had been found by a jogger in a forested area near Brest.
In a search of the family's house last week, investigators found bloodstains matching the DNA of the parents and Sebastien, but not of the daughter.
Traces of blood were found on Sebastien's phone, on Brigitte's watch and under the stairs, and it appeared that someone had tried to wipe them away, Mr Sennes said.
Authorities were informed of the family's disappearance by Brigitte's sister.
Investigators had initially focused on Sebastien, who had been sentenced to carry out community service after being convicted in 2013, when he was a minor, of making death threats on his blog.
Police had said in a bulletin on 24 February that he was suspected of "putting in place a macabre plan aimed at snuffing out the members of his family and maybe himself", AFP reports.
Reports on French media had suggested Sebastien had psychological problems while his dad had once suffered from depression.


Charles Henderson loved his "awesome" convertible, particularly the fact that he could start, lock and unlock it remotely via his mobile phone.

It was one of the first connected cars that synchronise wirelessly with smartphones for entertainment and work purposes.
But after he sold the vehicle, he was astonished to discover that he could still control it using the associated smartphone app.
"I could have found out where the car was, unlocked it remotely, started it and driven off with it," he tells the BBC.
Mr Henderson, from Austin, Texas, is global head of X-Force Red, IBM's offensive security group, so he knows a thing or two about security. He tests companies' defences, both physical and digital.
"We try to think like a criminal without actually acting like one," he says. "It's the coolest job in the world."
So before selling his car back to the dealer he was sure to carry out a factory reset and wipe any personal data from the car's onboard computer. He didn't want the new owner getting access to his calendar, contacts and phone records.
He then bought a new connected car made by the same manufacturer and was amazed when his old car still appeared alongside his new car on the app.
"These IoT [internet of things] devices are really smart but they're not smart enough to know that you've sold them," he says.
"I informed the car dealership but they didn't know how to handle this. So we went to the car manufacturer and it took a while before they took it seriously. They found it really difficult to cut off access."
The issue of personal data being left behind in devices we rent or own poses a serious risk - hackers could get access to it and use it for blackmail purposes or to steal our money using cloned identities.
"When they rent a car, many drivers sync their phones to the onboard Bluetooth without thinking that the data will stay in the car's computer. And they won't even think about clearing it before handing it back," says Mr Henderson.
"Yet they could be revealing sensitive corporate or private data unwittingly."
Ian Fogg, principal analyst at research firm IHS Markit, says: "Your smartphone is now the hub for a range of experiences, whether that's in your connected car or your smart home.
"So it's a really critical to protect your data, and when selling it - or the devices it has synced with - to make sure all personal information is thoroughly removed from it."
Richard Stiennon is chief strategy officer for Blancco Technology Group, a company that specialises in data erasure.
He admits that deleting this data is easier said than done.
"Simply going into a car's settings and deleting your phone from the list of previously paired Bluetooth devices does not guarantee that this will overwrite the data on the car's storage device," Mr Stiennon says.
"It will only prevent casual hackers like the next renter from seeing it. A better option is to overwrite all user data or perform a factory reset - if the vehicle allows it - to ensure the data is 100% erased and cannot be recovered."
Erasing data from a connected car is more difficult to do than on laptops, removable drives and mobiles. When you think about all the different car makes and models, each with their own operating systems and apps, syncing with so many different phone types, which also have their own versions of operating systems, complexity and lack of standards is the order of the day.
Toby Poston, director of communications and external relations for the BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) says: "Each individual has the responsibility for making sure that their data is erased, but car makers could make it easier.
"Our members manage millions of hire cars and company cars and we would like to see all manufacturers introduce a 'data cleanse' button to their vehicles as well as enabling this to be done remotely."
There are also cyber-security, as well as data protection, issues.
"If the driver's mobile network is infected with malware, it could access private information and copy it back to the car's infotainment system," says Mr Stiennon.
"This could lead to sensitive information like financial details, social security numbers and usernames and passwords being accessed and potentially breached."
It's also possible that an infected car could pass on the infection to your phone.
The data we share with our cars has value, which is why there is such a battle raging over who should control it and have access to it.
Mr Stiennon cites the recent case of three employees of Enterprise-Rent-A-Car in the UK who stole the details of tens of thousands of the company's customers and sold the data on to "ambulance-chasing" accident claims companies.
So the next time you hire a connected car it might be worth asking the rental provider what data removal options they provide and whether they can give you written proof that your personal data has been successfully and totally erased.
"When I resell my car, the manufacturer isn't involved in the exchange so isn't focused on the second user experience," says IBM's Mr Henderson.
"Although they are beginning to take this issue more seriously, it has to be everyone in the industry - not just the major players. The roads are not brand specific."
A report into Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) commissioned by the UK's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders concluded that "the collection and use of data by CAVs is not a matter of significant concern for consumers.
But how do we know consumers don't seem that bothered simply because they don't yet understand the implications?
"What happens when you get ransomware on your car and you can't drive to work that day?" warns Mr Henderson.
What indeed.


The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have been given a glimpse of village life in Papua New Guinea.

A choir of women in floral shirts and grass skirts welcomed the couple, who are on a tour to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year, to Boera.
The pair were shown crafts, canoe building and an aid project before a state dinner in capital Port Moresby.
Prince Charles, colonel-in-chief of the local Royal Pacific Islands Regiment, earlier inspected a military parade.
Dressed in the forest green uniform of the regiment, he presented infantrymen with new colours at the Sir John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby.
In a speech, he introduced himself in the local Tok Pisin language as the "first child of Mrs Queen", which brought cheers and applause from the crowd of about 5,000 people.
His words translated as: "I bring you greetings from Her Majesty the Queen of Papua New Guinea and from all my family members during this celebration of the Diamond Jubilee."
The event also included an open-air church service, in which prayers were said for the Queen, while the local culture was showcased in dance and music.
Tribes from across Papua New Guinea were present, including Huli men with their yellow painted faces  and Asaro mudmen, with large false heads and bodies covered in grey clay.
The royal couple arrived on the island on Saturday on the first leg of a two-week tour of Commonwealth countries, which will also see them visit Australia and New Zealand.
It is the fourth time Prince Charles has visited Papua New Guinea but the first time for Camilla.
During a visit to the National Bird of Paradise and Orchid Garden, the Duchess of Cornwall was presented with a rare hybrid orchid named in her honour, the Dendrobium Camilla.
At Boera village, hundreds of residents turned out to greet Prince Charles and the duchess.
Jenny Lohia, 24, topless and dressed traditionally in a leaf skirt and body paintings, gave Camilla a peck on the cheek as she placed a necklace of shells around her neck as a welcoming present.
They royal couple were shown local painting, weaving and pottery and toured the aid project concerned with the replanting of coastal mangroves.
The couple were guests of honour at the state dinner later, which was hosted by governor general Sir Michael Ogio and his wife.


Fulham must improve their concentration and work on "small details" to end the defensive errors that have blighted their season, says Michael Madl.

The Championship club are one point and one place above the relegation zone, conceding 64 league goals this term.
Defender Madl told BBC Radio London: "It's maybe because of (a lack of) concentration, not (a lack of) quality.
"If we change these small details and are a bit more concentrated then I think we will get out of there."
The 28-year-old Austrian, who made his debut in the 3-1 win at QPR in February, has impressed since his loan move from Sturm Graz.
But relegated-threatened Fulham have continued to struggle, winning just one of their eight matches since that derby victory, and defensive lapses have cost them valuable points.
"It's difficult to explain. We have a good team and some good defenders, but we make easy mistakes," Madl admitted.
"Sometimes we've played a very good 45 minutes and in the second half, especially in the last few games, it was not that good.
"We've had many penalties given against us and maybe the small details we don't do well, and it has cost us many points.
"We score many goals, but we concede too many. Just the small details we have to do better and, if we do that, we can win more games. We still have a good team and we still believe in us."
Madl's side face a crucial match on Saturday, when Milton Keynes Dons - the team immediately above them in the table - visit Craven Cottage.
"It's a massive game but we are well prepared and have enough confidence and quality in the team to win this game," he said.


Gloucester second-row forward James Hudson has retired after failing to recover from a serious knee injury.

Hudson suffered the injury in a pre-season game against fellow Premiership side Exeter in September 2015.
The 34-year-old, who signed for the Cherry and Whites from Newcastle in March 2013, made 146 career Premiership appearances in spells with four clubs.
He will now join Gloucester's training staff as the club's performance nutritionist.
"I feel proud and very lucky to have been able to play for 15 years as a professional and always knew that it would come to an end one day," he said.
"I am now looking forward to starting a new chapter and am delighted that part of that will be with Gloucester."


The latest Electoral Office statistics show a marked increase in the issue of proxy and postal votes for the Westminster election in Northern Ireland.

11,707 proxy votes have been issued - that is 1,787 up from the 9,920 proxies appointed for the March assembly election.
23,682 postal votes have been issued - up from the 19,670 sent out in March.
Fermanagh South Tyrone tops the table for both proxy and postal votes issued.
1,707 proxy votes and 2,981 postal votes have been issued in the constituency.
Other constituencies with high levels of applications include Mid Ulster and West Tyrone which are especially high for postal votes, and Newry and Armagh and Foyle which are high for proxy votes.


A man found guilty of an acid attack on a journalist at his home in Glasgow's west end has been jailed.

William Burns, 56, threw sulphuric acid into Russell Findlay's face while disguised as a postman on the doorstep of his home in December 2015.
Burns denied the charge, but was found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow.
He was given a 15-year sentence at the High Court in Aberdeen, with 10 years in custody and supervision for five years after his release.
The attack took place months after Burns had been freed early from a 15-year jail term for shooting a woman during a post office robbery in 2001.
Burns, from Paisley, was convicted of assaulting Mr Findlay, 44, to the danger of his life.
He threw sulphuric acid on Mr Findlay's face before knocking the crime reporter to the ground.
During the trial, Burns said he had only turned up at Mr Findlay's door to "beat up" the journalist, who was investigative editor of the Scottish Sun at the time.
He claimed the journalist had told him he had a compromising photo of him with a young blonde woman.
He went on to suggest the journalist - who has also written books on gangland crime - must have thrown a corrosive substance in his own face.
Sentencing, Lord Matthews said: "You have been convicted of a vicious, premeditated attack by the throwing of sulphuric acid into the face of a journalist on the threshold of his own home two days before Christmas.
"You were caught virtually red-handed and your own evidence was an obvious fabrication from start to finish, plainly being made up as you were going along.
"Leaving aside your own explanation why you were there, the only reason I can discern for your actions is that you objected to something that your victim wrote.
"There are ways and means of dealing with grievances, real or imagined, against the media and this was plainly not one of them."
The judge added: "The freedom of the press is an essential tool in the armoury of any democracy and attacks of this nature will not be tolerated.
"You have a bad record and are clearly a dangerous man."
Burns and a co-accused had also been accused of attempting to murder Ross Sherlock in a shooting near St Helen's primary school in Bishopbriggs in September 2015.
They were cleared of that charge after Judge Lord Matthews ruled there was "insufficient evidence".


A 43-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a woman near Bellshill, North Lanarkshire.

The body of 47-year-old Senga Closs, of Elmbank Avenue, Viewpark, was found on Saturday.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Monday.


A graphic designer from Lincolnshire who died in the Tunisian attack has been described by her family as a "beautiful shining light".

Carly Lovett, 24, a University of Lincoln graduate from Gainsborough, was with her fiance in Sousse when the gunman opened fire on the beach.
According to The Daily Mirror, the fashion blogger died when a grenade was thrown into her hotel lobby.
She had recently got engaged to Liam, her childhood sweetheart of 10 years.
In a statement her family said: "Carly was and always will be our beautiful shining light.
"She was funny, clever, artistic and radiated love and happiness around her."
They said Miss Lovett's and her fiance's future together had been "cruelly taken away".
"Both were excited and looking forward to a bright future together filled with love and happiness.
"To move forward through this we will try to do what we believe Carly would want and that is to love, cherish and support each other.
"Carly, may you soar with the angels and we pray with all our hearts that this evil, and such disregard for human life, will end so no other family will feel the pain that we do today and always will."
Peter Russell, deputy head of Queen Elizabeth High School, which Miss Lovett had attended, described her as kind and friendly.
"She was a high achiever and had a real flair for design," he said.
"[It has affected] the staff in particular, many here taught her and remember her fondly. They're obviously upset on hearing the tragic news."
Miss Lovett, a fashion blogger, also worked for an e-commerce company called Fizzco Ltd in Fillingham near Gainsborough, according to reports.
Local MP Sir Edward Leigh expressed his "shock and sorrow" and offered condolences to Miss Lovett's family.
Sir Edward said: "Words will never adequately provide comfort for those who must face a very different future to the one that they imagined."


A bouncy castle, which is claimed to be the largest in the world, has been unveiled at a music festival.

30 May 2016 Last updated at 09:23 BST
The giant castle has been inflated in Southampton and will be used at other festivals throughout the summer.
The attraction is 23.8 metres long, 20.7 metres wide and 12.8 metres high and can be used by 100 people at the same time.
It's even claimed to be taller than the Great Wall of China.
Guinness World Records is yet to verify the record.


A care home has been ordered to raise its standards after the industry watchdog criticised areas including infection control.

Acorn Park Care Home in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, was warned it must make a "significant improvement".
If not, it could face having its registration cancelled.
The privately-run home was served with a formal improvement notice by the Care Inspectorate and given until next month to make changes.
Seven areas of concern were listed after an inspection, with nutrition and hydration, personal plans for service users, environmental safety, staffing and administration of drugs all being criticised.
A spokesman for the Care Inspectorate said: "Everyone in Scotland has the right to safe, compassionate care which meets their needs and respects their rights.
"Where we have concerns, we do not hesitate to take action.
"Our first priority is always the safety and well-being of residents and this improvement notice sets out what we expect the service to do to ensure that the care provided to residents improves.
"We will be inspecting this service again soon to ensure that progress is being made."
An Acorn Park spokesman said: "We are working hard with the Care Inspectorate to meet their requirements within the timescales set."

Any move to form a breakaway super league involving Europe's top sides would lead to "war" between the clubs and Uefa, says a leading presidential candidate for the governing body.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Aleksander Ceferin, who heads the Slovenian FA and holds more than 20 pledges of support for his presidential candidacy, insists any closed super league is "out of the question".
Talks involving leading European clubs and Uefa have been ongoing for a number of months, with a Champions League format revamp under discussion.
A decision on potential changes could be announced as early as Friday.
Such reforms could end threats by some elite clubs to break away and form a super league before 2021.
The Premier League's new £9bn TV deal is one of the main reasons why European sides are so keen to see change.
Real Madrid took home £81m for winning the competition last season. But the side finishing last in the Premier League this season is guaranteed about £97m.
With such a financial gulf beginning to emerge across the continent, Uefa is under pressure to deliver a significant uplift in revenues for Champions League TV rights when negotiations begin later this year.
Sports companies in the US and China have proposed a breakaway league but Ceferin insists European football will remain united.
"One of the main issues awaiting the next Uefa president is relations to the big clubs," he said.
"My firm opinion is that some kind of closed super league with just a few clubs in, without the possibility for the others to enter, is out of the question. It will mean a kind of war between Uefa and the clubs.
"If they want more revenues we should work on it. It is possible. The Champions League is the best sports product in the world, for sure. But it doesn't generate the most money. So we should include them [the clubs] more."
Ceferin is one of three candidates standing in next month's Uefa presidential election, called after Michel Platini was forced to step down after being banned by Fifa's ethics committee in relation to a payment he received from former Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
Michael van Praag of the Netherlands and Angel Maria Villar of Spain are also seeking to win the ballot which will be held in Athens on 14 September.
But Ceferin is increasingly confident his coalition of support is gaining momentum.
As he prepares for a meeting in Glasgow on Thursday with officials from the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish football associations, Ceferin insists Uefa must now seek a new direction.
"We can work on transparency and inclusion. Before, with Michel Platini, we had a charismatic leader. Now, if I come there, we will have a team leader.
"I think Uefa has, in principle, a good administration. We have great experts in the FAs which were not included in the decision-making. So I think that should change.
And after the controversial years of Blatter and Platini, he thinks football is ready for a new face despite his relative inexperience.
"Of course, we should work together with some people who are experienced but to try to say only the one who is there for 30 years could lead Uefa? It's quite silly. Nobody would believe that.
"If anything, I am independent. Everybody who knows me knows that. Maybe there's a time for a person whose not a member of the football establishment to come.
"Uefa at this moment needs fresh blood, new ideas, new faces."
Following Euro 2016, which was marred by violence, Ceferin also believes Uefa must now improve how it deals with discrimination and security issues.
A small number of England, France and Russia supporters were involved in the most serious incidents of violence during the tournament.
Uefa had threatened to disqualify England and Russia from the tournament following violent scenes during the 1-1 draw in Marseille.
"It's never enough, you never do enough. And Uefa doesn't do enough.
"I think we should create a department within Uefa - let's call it 'Protection of the game' - where we will deal with anti-doping, safety and security, fight against match-fixing and, of course, racism.
"We've seen the situation now at the Euros and obviously the security situation in Europe is not getting better, it's getting worse every day.
"We should be pro-active, we should work on it because if a person dies, even a bigger catastrophe happens it's a disaster for football, for Uefa, for Europe.


A 15-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a man at a 21st birthday party in Norfolk.

Connor Barrett, 20, was stabbed at the private party in Hemsby, near Great Yarmouth, on 10 May.
He was taken to James Paget Hospital, in Gorleston, but later died.
The boy, from the Great Yarmouth area, who cannot be named due to his age, has been remanded in police custody. He is due to appear at Norwich Magistrates' Court later.
Earlier this year, a 17-year-old boy was remanded in custody charged with Mr Barrett's murder.


Scottish government plans to cut Air Passenger Duty have hit mid-flight turbulence.

Finance secretary Derek Mackay has been told to re-think his navigation before he can land the legislation safely.
Or to be more accurate, he's been told by MSPs - most prominent among them the SNP convener of the finance committee, Bruce Crawford - that he needs to offer some evidence, economic and environmental, of what such a cut might do.
One of the reasons that there is disquiet is that ministers want MSPs to pass a law on the principles of how a change in APD could be delivered but without setting out the extent of the cut.
Nor is there a worked-out plan for any change in the banding structure (standard and non-standard class bands, and either below or above 2,000 miles) or of the exemptions. These are to follow with subsequent legislation.
And these are difficult political calculations because of the precarious nature of a minority government.
The budget deal done with Green MSPs for 2017-18 would be a lot more difficult in 2018-19 if Derek Mackay wants to start cutting Air Passenger Duty (APD). That is the first point at which he can do so.
Greens, as a general rule, don't much like measures that encourage carbon-emitting aviation. So it looks more likely that Tories would be Mr Mackay's source of votes, or abstentions, to get the next budget passed.
So what about that evidence? Others have tried to model Air Passenger Duty. And it's complicated.
Put simply, we don't know.
It depends on the modelling.  A consultants' report for Edinburgh Airport produced a benefit of 3,800 jobs in Scotland, and £200m added value to the economy each year by 2020.
Others suggest the benefit would accrue to the airlines and airports, which would pocket it in higher profits and only pay a small share in corporation tax.
2. If APD is cut, what effects would it have on travelling?
Would it bring in more inbound visitors, spending their money on Scottish tourist attractions and doing business deals?
Or would it boost outbound tourism, substituting staycations with holiday-makers taking their spending power abroad?
Put simply, again, we don't know.
One aero-sceptical report into this, by the Common Weal think tank, suggests inbound tourism is by higher-end visitors whose plans are not primarily shaped by price, so the cut wouldn't boost their numbers that much.
Meanwhile, it suggests outbound tourism is more strongly linked to price, so the cut would have the more dynamic upward effect on Scots flying elsewhere?
And it argues that about £50m of APD is paid for business tickets. These are journeys that will still be made with or without the tax, so cutting it brings no benefit and a big cut in revenue.
That is to ignore the impact on company finances of lower business travel expenses. That means money freed up for other expenses, more business travel, a higher wage bill, investment or more in shareholder dividend.
3. If APD is cut in Scotland, what might it do to take aviation business from the rest of the UK?
Newcastle Airport thinks it would have a horrible impact.
A UK government study agrees but it suggests that would only be the initial response, also taking business from Manchester, and putting up passenger numbers in Glasgow and Edinburgh by 5% to 10%.
Phase two would be a rise in Scots using their cheapened flights to connect to longer-haul flights out of London airports.
And phase three is when the benefit that results from those London airports getting more UK business.
That would make them more competitive, the story goes, and draw passengers out of other English airports.
Using this model, the initial boom for Glasgow (twice that of Edinburgh) would fall back, and Birmingham would be the biggest loser.
The UK government has consulted on what it could do to mitigate the impact of a Scottish APD cut.
A differentiated tax to encourage a shift of air travel from the big London hubs to regional airports, for instance.
It has concluded that it's not going to do anything for now - not while its mind is focused on Brexit.
4. If APD is cut, what impact could it have on the environment?
The aviation industry says the increased passenger numbers would, over time, be offset by improvements in airliner fuel efficiency.
It cites the recent improvement in the efficiency of Europe's airlines, as they have taken delivery of new planes with more efficient engines.
That gain may not be sustained. Airlines can't keep on ordering brand new planes. And advances in fuel efficiency, while impressive, are unpredictably bumpy.
Either way, it's not clear that APD has succeeded in its initial purpose, back in 1994, of being an environmental tax.
Academic analysis has found that, even at one of the highest tax levels in the world, it is too low to dissuade many people from travelling.
5. Would a cut in APD be of disproportionate benefit to the well-off?
This is an argument Scottish Labour is using against the plan.
The opposition party goes on to argue that, with tight finances, this should not be a priority for tax cutting, as it would mean a cut in revenue for public services.
It cites evidence that most flights are made by people in higher-earning households.
As with much of this, the evidence is a bit sketchy. It suggests that the share of total household income spent on air travel is quite similar across the earnings spectrum.
The last time the Civil Aviation Authority surveyed Scottish airport passengers on this subject, which was in 2013, it found Glasgow and Edinburgh had a slightly stronger bias towards the AB and C1 social classes as a share of total passenger numbers than other UK airports.
Some 30% of their passengers were from social classes C2, D and E - those typically with lower income.
The London airports had a lower proportion, while East Midlands, Birmingham and Manchester were higher.
Aberdeen Airport was an outlier on both business and leisure travel, shaped by its internationally mobile energy workforce.
The industry claims its evidence is compelling that the tax revenue cut from lower APD would be offset by higher tax revenue from other taxes, resulting from faster growth.
If true, it would mean that people who never fly could have better public services because people who do fly are saving money on APD and spending that money elsewhere. That's arguable.
But hang on: aren't Scotland's airports telling us that they've never had it so good?
Well, yes they are.  Record growth for Edinburgh and Glasgow. Growth is particularly strong in international travel. Not so much for Aberdeen, which is suffering from the oil and gas downturn. And Prestwick is a special loss-making case.
With household spending tight, this is a sign that low fares are drawing in more passengers, and the weak pound seems to be attracting more foreign visitors.
It's also a credit to the competition authority which insisted that Edinburgh and Glasgow should be forced to split their ownership, and to compete.
They are doing well by going out to win more business, with new routes. And such is the congestion at Heathrow, it is easier to attract long-haul routes into North America, the Persian Gulf and, they hope eventually, linking with Asia.
So clearly, the case for a tax cut is not to provide support for an industry in difficulties. It argues - as you'll probably have guessed already - that while business is growing healthily, it could grow lots more with lower tax and therefore lower ticket prices.
Those aero-sceptics suggest that whatever impact there might be from cutting ticket prices, any tax change is being overwhelmed by the impact of Brexit and the lower exchange value of the pound.
There are tight constraints, due to international treaty obligations going back decades, which ban tax on fuel for international flights.
One plan is for the plane to be taxed, rather than the passenger. This would be an incentive to ensure planes are fully laden.
You could further adjust it to penalise the least fuel-efficient aircraft with higher taxes. That's when it gets more complicated. APD has the attraction of being simple to collect.
To tackle the question of social injustice, the New Economics Foundation has suggested a quota system.
Everyone could be entitled to one outbound flight every year without tax.
But frequent flyers - the higher earners, that is - would have a rising level of APD the more times they take off.


Somali pirates have hijacked an Indian cargo vessel off the coast of the Puntland region, officials say.

It was believed to have been travelling between Dubai and Bosasso, in Puntland, when it was seized.
It is the second such attack recently. Last month, pirates seized a tanker bound for Mogadishu but  released it apparently without conditions.
That incident was the first hijack of a large commercial ship off the Somali coast since 2012.
Maritime sources have identified the vessel as the Al Kausar with 11 crew on board.
The AFP news agency said it had contacted the vessel's owner and been told it was carrying goods such as wheat and sugar.
A crew member had apparently phoned the owner to tell him the vessel was hijacked at sea last Friday.  Five gunmen were said to be on board, but no-one had been hurt.
Senior Indian shipping official Nalini Shankar said the vessel was "not a big ship, but a dhow", the Press Truss of India reported.
The Somali website Daynile said the attack happened some 50km (30 miles) south of the port town of Hobyo.
Piracy off the Somali coast - usually for ransom - has dropped significantly in recent years, in part because of extensive international military patrols as well as support for local fishing communities.
At the height of the crisis in 2011, there were 237 attacks and the annual cost of piracy was estimated to be up to $8bn (Â£7bn).
The factors that drove many Somali coastal fishermen to become pirates nearly a decade ago are still there, says the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner.
Somalia is currently in the grip of a famine. Poverty is widespread with few employment options for young people.
There is also continued local resentment at the poaching of fish stocks off the coast by Asian trawlers.


Winnie Johnson never stopped her fight to find her son's body and hold a proper funeral for him before she died.

Keith Bennett, 12, was abducted by Ian Brady and his accomplice Myra Hindley in 1964 in Longsight, Manchester, while he was on his way to visit his grandmother.
He is the only one of the pair's five victims whose body has never been found.
Brady and Hindley were jailed over the murders of John Kilbride, 12, Lesley Ann Downey, 10, and Edward Evans, 17, in 1966.
It was more than 20 years before they admitted killing Keith, as well as Pauline Reade, 16. But they were never convicted of their murders.
Mrs Johnson campaigned for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to look again at the case, arguing that two more convictions might extend their prison tariffs, but in 2003 the CPS said there was "no realistic prospect" of gaining the convictions.
She vowed to fight the decision "until the end of her days".
Police took Brady and Hindley back to Saddleworth Moor in 1987 to help find the remains of the missing victims - but only Pauline's body was found.
And when another large-scale search of the moors in 2009 proved fruitless, the Greater Manchester force told Mrs Johnson it would be the last, unless significant new information came to light.
At a memorial service for Keith, held at Manchester Cathedral in February 2010, Mrs Johnson said she believed his body was on the moors and reiterated her vow to "fight forever" to find him.
Mrs Johnson then appealed directly to Brady, via a DVD, to reveal the whereabouts of Keith's remains.
On the DVD, recorded in April 2011, she said she was receiving treatment for cancer of the womb, adding: "I've got cancer and if you've got any decency or respect for yourself and for me, you would tell me where Keith is because that is the last thing I want to happen before I die."
On Friday detectives revealed they were investigating claims Brady had told his mental health advocate, Jackie Powell, the details about where Keith's body was buried.
Winnie Johnson's solicitor John Ainley said she had not been told of that development before her death.
Brady has been detained at Ashworth hospital since 1985, and in 2010 he requested a public mental health tribunal into where he is imprisoned.
He has been on hunger strike since 1999, kept alive by force-feeding in hospital, and wanted to be transferred to prison and allowed to die.
In December, Mrs Johnson said she intended to attend the hearing to see Brady give evidence via video-link from hospital.
But by the time the hearing was due to take place in July she was too ill to attend.
The hearing was eventually postponed when Brady was taken ill.
Mr Ainley said: "Over the years and in all our personal meetings, Winnie has insisted Brady is the only person who could put her mind at rest and give her the chance to give Keith a decent burial before she passed away."
He added: "She has died without knowing Keith's whereabouts and without the opportunity to finally put him at rest in a decent grave."
Mrs Johnson's son Alan Bennett said her family intend to continue the fight to give Keith a family burial.
David Kirwan, Mrs Johnson's former solicitor, said: "She searched for 48 years and didn't get a solution.
"And it's a cruel and ironic twist that she's now passed away without that closure and solace."
He added: "But I'm delighted to hear that her family are going to carry on with the quest, particularly in her memory and let's hope now, I'm optimistic, that information will come into the hands of the police which may lead to the discovery of the body."


The former Bank of England boss has warned in a new book that another financial crisis is "certain", and may come "sooner rather than later".

Mervyn King, who stood down in 2013, says reform of monetary and banking systems may help prevent the crisis.
But he says that failure "to tackle the disequilibrium in the world economy makes it likely that it [a crisis] will come sooner rather than later".
The life peer was bank governor during the global financial crisis of 2008-09.
Lord King, 67, headed the bank between 2003 and 2013.
In his new book, The End Of Alchemy: Money, Banking And The Future Of The Global Economy, serialised in The Telegraph, he says the 2008 crisis was the fault of the financial system, not individual  bankers.
"The crisis was a failure of a system, and the ideas that underpinned it, not of individual policymakers or bankers, incompetent and greedy though some of them undoubtedly were," he wrote.
To tackle the disequilibrium in the world economy, he suggests raising productivity as well as reforming the banking system.
"Only a fundamental rethink of how we, as a society, organise our system of money and banking will prevent a repetition of the crisis that we experienced in 2008," he said.
He also says that global central banks are trapped in a "prisoner's dilemma", whereby they are unable to raise interest rates in case they derail economic recovery.


Martin Gould said he felt the pressure in the early stages of his 6-3 last-16 UK Championship win over Joe Swail.

The 34-year-old trailed 1-0 and 2-1 and despite going in level at 2-2 at the mid-session interval after two 50-plus breaks, he was not happy.
"There was lot riding on it and it took me a little longer than I anticipated to settle down.
"Even though I made a good break to go 1-1, I just never felt I had completely settled," said the world number 24.
The Londoner produced a magnificent 131 in the fifth frame and added two more to make it four in a row and leave him needing just one for victory at the York Barbican.
Northern Ireland's Swail, the world number 58, pulled one back, but Gould's fourth half-century of the match secured a quarter-final meeting with David Grace.
Gould, who had never previously been beyond the second round of the UK Championship, added: "I was pleased to come out at 2-2 after the interval. And I said to myself it was the time to step up.
"The 131 was the first frame after the interval and that gave me the impetus to carry on.
"I got in to a rhythm and a stride and when I get I am quite hard to stop. It was important for me to stamp my authority on the match."
Leeds potter Grace, who is ranked 81 in the world, beat former world champion Peter Ebdon in the fourth round.


A woman believed to be the oldest in Wales has died aged 109.

Widow Nellie Robinson was born in Yorkshire but spent most of her life in north Wales.
She had been living at the Hafod Mawddach care home in Barmouth, Gwynedd, but died after a short illness in hospital in Bangor.
Her grandson Lee Knight said she was a "typically forthright" Yorkshirewoman who would be well-remembered in Meirionnydd.
Mrs Robinson, who previously lived in Llanfair, near Harlech, began work as a 13-year-old, sewing buttons onto World War One soldiers's uniforms.
Sandra Campbell, manager of the care home, said: "Mrs Robinson lived here for about a year and we're all very sad at her passing.
"It was an honour and a privilege to have met Mrs Robinson, she was a caring and thoughtful lady."
The longest living person in Wales is now believed to be Gwenllian Davies of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, who is also 109.


A shop in a small village in Berkshire was ram raided by a vehicle.

Budgens in Victoria Road, Mortimer, was damaged in the raid.
Owner Charlie Hills said a 4x4 reversed in to the front of the shop. Nothing of value was stolen due to the security system in place.
He said: "There is a lot of mess but we are clearing up. It's a lot of damage and a lot of trouble for nothing effectively."
Thames Valley Police confirmed the shop was raided between 03:30 and 04:00 GMT.
Mr Hills said: "The community have been fantastic. We have had lots of support."


Bedroom pop artist Mura Masa has come joint fifth in the BBC Music Sound of 2016 with R&B group WSTRN.

Named after Japanese sword-smith Muramasa Sengo, the Guernsey-born musician comes armed with deft beats, exotic instrumentation and heartbreaking lyrics.
Like his namesake, he says he wants the music "to cut like a knife".
Only 19 years old, he has already created a strong body of original material, incorporating Asian soundscapes (Shakuhachi flutes, thumb pianos) into his glitchy electronica.
His most recent track, Love For That, is a sumptuous, string-drenched ballad which found its way onto the BBC 1Xtra playlist after being played more than a million times on SoundCloud.
The musician, whose real name is Alex Crossan, talked to the BBC from the flatshare in Brighton where he records all of his music.
Congratulations on making the top five Sound of 2016. How does it feel?
Sort of baffling. It's an honour, but it's scary and exciting.
You grew up in Guernsey, which isn't a place that's renowned for cutting-edge dance music.
There was a footballer, Matt Le Tissier, from Guernsey. But as far as music, no, not many people have come out of there.
Did that sense of isolation from the music scene help you develop your own sound?
I think so. If you grew up in London's East End you'd probably be inclined to be into something like grime music. But if you're removed from it, like in Guernsey, you can have a wider set of influences, and you're not tied down to any genre or any scene. I think that affects my sound, for sure.
What sort of music did you grow up listening to?
At a young age, I was introduced to Joni Mitchell by my mum. My dad was into progressive rock. But when YouTube came around in 2005 or 2006, suddenly all the music was available and you just had to do your own research.
There's a strong oriental theme to your music - how did you work out those sounds and scales and styles of playing?
Just a lot of time and patience, really. A lot of people say they're influenced by things, but they don't actually listen to what's happening in the music.
If you do your homework properly before you try and write it becomes simple.
Did you have musical training?
I started playing violin when I was about five years old and I learned to read a little bit of music, but that's all been long, long forgotten! I actually quit violin to teach myself guitar and just went from there.
Do you remember the first song you produced?
Oh gosh. It was a really, really terrible dubstep track. It had a sample of Robin Williams in it shouting "Gooooood Morning Vietnam!" It was awful.
You started uploading music to the internet very quickly. What was the impetus for that?
Because I'm from Guernsey, I couldn't swap music with many people. I had a couple of friends who were making music but I think online was just the natural way for me to get heard. I come from the internet generation, so it kind of made sense. There wasn't any deep thought put into it.
The first track I uploaded was called Death Grips - but it doesn't exist any more. I deleted it because it's so bad!
When did you first realise people were taking notice?
I put out a mix tape at the end of last year called Soundtrack To A Death and it was just a beat tape - but Jo Whiley played it on Radio 2, and then Huw Stephens made it album of the week on Radio 1. It was all very strange.
But I think that was when I started developing my own sound and I think people started tuning in to that.
How would you describe that sound?
Gosh, this is always the question I dread! But it takes everything that I love about hip-hop and electronic music and mashes it together in the setting of lo-fi, oriental-influenced beat music.
Is the flute part in Lotus Eater a sample?
I wrote that, actually.
That's incredible. It sounds like its come from a dusty old piece of vinyl.
That's what's great about it, I think, because you can write a part and retroactively make it lo-fi and make it sound like a sample. That's something I love doing.
That song would fit perfectly on a film soundtrack - specifically a Quentin Tarantino film. Do you approach music visually?
For definite. I didn't start writing my debut album until I'd sorted the cover art. It's an intrinsic part of the whole process. The first music I really loved was Gorillaz and I think the way the visuals played into the music and told a story was very important to me.
It's funny you should mention Tarantino. I have two posters in my room - one's of the White Stripes and the other one is Pulp Fiction.
The strings on Love For That really emphasise the emotions of the song. Are they live instruments?
Yeah they are - and I think I'm going to be doing that a lot more on the album. It just makes it quite special hearing the bow moving on the strings.
It's cool to make people remember that, although electronic music is obviously produced electronically, it's still real music.
Your album is due out in the first couple of months of 2016. Is it finished?
I'm about half-way done. The way I work, everything tends to come together last minute. It's called To Fall Out Of Love To and it's got a story arc to it.
Is it a concept album?
Ermâ€¦ yeah. But to me, whenever I hear the words "concept album", it means the music isn't that good but there's a really cool idea behind it. I want to hit the target of really good music and really meaningful lyrical content.
You've already been played on daytime radio - is the ambition to crossover into the mainstream?
If you go into this expecting a number one single then you're a pop artist - and I don't think I am a pop artistâ€¦ yet.
At the end of the day, my personal ambition is just to make really, really, really good music that's culturally relevant and stands the test of time. That's all I want.


A man has died after being hit by a Tube train while attempting to rescue his younger brother who fell on to the tracks.

The 35-year-old, from London, was found at Old Street Station after police were called at 00:22 GMT on Sunday.
His 32-year-old brother from Manchester, who is thought to have accidentally fallen on to the tracks, is in a critical condition in hospital.
British Transport Police has described the man's death as a "tragic accident".
The names of the men have not been released. Officers are not treating the incident as suspicious.
London Ambulance Service said the man from Manchester had suffered multiple injuries.
Matthew Pabon, a consultant from Clapham Junction, told the BBC he was waiting on the platform on his way home from Shoreditch when he saw one of the men "jumping really close to the line".
"I was really close, on the same platform in front of them. Just waiting for the Tube," he said.
"One of them was jumping really close to the line and then he slipped on to the tracks.
"Before it happened I was really worried the man might fall.
"The train was just seconds from coming. That was what stopped me from trying to help. I froze."
"The guy who was trying to save him was on the edge of the platform trying to pick him up with his hands but it was too late, the train came 20 seconds later," Mr Pabon said.
Another witness, Robert Brown, said: "I'm a trainee accountant and I'm 24. Thirty-five is no age to die."
Mr Brown, who is originally from Manchester but now lives in east London, had been out for dinner in Shoreditch celebrating a friend's birthday and was catching the last Tube home.
He said: "I saw the train approaching from a distance and then saw the person fall into the tracks."
The person he was with "instantly" tried to pull him up before the train arrived, Mr Brown said.
He said the "rescuer" was then thrown back on to the platform from the impact.
"People tried to approach him and there were screams. Pretty much every girl was crying and I just stood there head in hands," Mr Brown said.
The injured men were treated by paramedics at the station and taken to the Royal Free Hospital, where the 35-year-old died later on Sunday.


Labour has won an appeal against a High Court ruling that allowed new members a vote in its leadership contest.

The party challenged the verdict blocking its plans to prevent members who joined after 12 January from voting unless they paid Â£25 extra.
It said its ruling NEC, not courts, was the "ultimate arbiter" of the rules.
The Court of Appeal upheld the challenge.


Paying the living wage to every worker in Dundee is among the recommendations of a year-long commission aimed at tackling poverty in the city.

The findings of Dundee's first Fairness Commission follow a year of "eye-opening" research into the issue.
The commission has made recommendations in six areas, including food and fuel, benefits, and education.
The 17 members have met on a monthly basis over the last year.
Among the recommendations are support and flexibility by service providers for people moving between benefits and work or between jobs and reducing the education attainment gap.
The commission also aims to campaign to change national policies and target resources locally at those most in need.
Other areas covered in the 26-page report are housing and communities, advice and support, and work and wages.
The commission members are drawn from Dundee City Council, Scottish Enterprise, Police Scotland and NHS Tayside, along with local academic institutions and representatives of the business, voluntary and community sectors.
Convener of the commission, Dundee councillor Jimmy Black, said: "We made a commitment to bring forward a thorough and well-researched plan to deal with one of the most difficult issues facing our city and I believe these recommendations fulfil that promise.
"I said when we launched the commission that I wanted to see us make recommendations that will lead to real change and that will make the well established strategy for tackling poverty in Dundee much more successful and that is exactly what this report does.
"Our work with the commission to date has been eye-opening, even for those of us who deal with poverty and its effects on people and communities.
"To be at a point where we can offer tangible actions to begin the journey that will rid our city of its most corrosive consequences is extremely encouraging."
Alison Henderson chief executive of Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce, said: "Eradicating poverty in Dundee must be a priority for all of us and the business community can play its part by looking closely at its own employment and recruitment practices.
"I am confident that our members will seize the baton that the Fairness Commission has extended and run with it to improve the lives of people blighted by poverty in the city."
Ginny Lawson of the Brooksbank Partnership said: "We see the effects of poverty on individuals and families in our communities on a daily basis.
"The commission has helped raise the voice of the voluntary sector to fully endorse the findings and recommendations and we are looking forward to playing our part in achieving the aims laid out in the report."


A French scientist has revealed a major new discovery about one of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous paintings, shedding new light on his techniques.

Engineer Pascal Cotte has spent three years using reflective light technology to analyse The Lady with an Ermine.
Until now, it was thought the 500-year-old painting had always included the ceremonial animal.
Mr Cotte has shown the artist painted one portrait without the ermine and two with different versions of the fur.
Leonardo experts have described the new findings as "thrilling" and said the discovery raises new questions about the painting's history.
The Lady with an Ermine is a portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, a young woman in the Milanese court who was mistress to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan.
It is believed to have been painted between 1489 and 1490.
The Duke was Leonardo's main patron during his 18 years in the city, and he was nicknamed "the white ermine".
Mr Cotte, who is a co-founder of Lumiere Technology in Paris, has pioneered a new technique called Layer Amplification Method (LAM).
It works by projecting a series of intense lights on to the painting.  A camera then takes measurements of the lights' reflections and from those measurements, Mr Cotte is then able to analyse and reconstruct what has happened between the layers of the paint.
Following the discovery, new theories have now been applied to the well-known portrait, including a suggestion the artist may have introduced the ermine into the painting to symbolise Gallerani's lover, later enhancing the animal to flatter his patron.
Another theory is that Gallerani asked the artist to add the animal into the painting, so that the Milanese court was made fully aware of her relationship with the Duke.
Mr Cotte said: "The LAM technique gives us the capability to peel the painting like an onion, removing the surface to see what's happening inside and behind the different layers of paint.
"We've discovered that Leonardo is always changing his mind. This is someone who hesitates - he erases things, he adds things, he changes his mind again and again."
Martin Kemp, Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford, said:  "What Pascal Cotte is revealing in France is remarkable.
"It tells us a lot more about the way Leonardo's mind worked when he was doing a painting.  We know that he fiddled around a good deal at the beginning, but now we know that he kept fiddling around all the time and it helps explain why he had so much difficulty finishing paintings.
"Leonardo is endlessly fascinating, so getting this intimate insight into his mind is thrilling."
The painting belongs to the Czartoryski Foundation and is usually on display at the National Museum in Krakow, Poland.  It is currently hanging in nearby Wawel Castle while the Museum undergoes renovation.
The Lady with an Ermine was one of the star attractions at the National Gallery's 2011 exhibition, Leonardo Da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan.
The painting has previously undergone several examinations using X-ray and infra-red analysis.
