Stars pay tribute to John Hughes
A number of Hollywood stars have paid tribute to the late writer-director John Hughes.

Hughes passed away yesterday at the age of 59 after suffering a heart attack in New York.

Matthew Broderick, who starred in Hughes's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, said: "I am truly shocked and saddened by the news about my old friend John Hughes.

"He was a wonderful, very talented guy and my heart goes out to his family."

Macaulay Culkin, the lead in Home Alone and its sequel, added: "The world has lost not only a quintessential filmmaker whose influence will be felt for generations, but a great and decent man."
