Default Tomatoes dying

...
My four tomato plants are dying off.

One plant is badly affected by grey patches on the stems and the leaves
are shrivelling, turning yellow or just rotting and it appears virtually
dead although the yellow flowers seem unaffected. This is now spreading to
the other three plants. They were all perfectly healthy on weds when I was
tying for support and pinching out side shoots.

Can some one tell me what it may be. Can I save them or do I say goodbye
to tomatoes this year?

Probably blight. It is hitting toms and spuds really bad this year.
Pull them up and burn them or put them in the dustbin.
