How very sad ~ I enjoyed his wit ~ can't say the same for his son though ..... not a patch on the old man.

I now await the barbarian hordes to tell us they "Don't give a sh*t" or "Never heard of Him"

I wonder if there is a person in each of our lives (not family I mean) that we will find shocking or especially upsetting when they go?

Someone that meant a lot to you or was very prominent in your youth perhaps?

I was quite upset to find that Raymond Baxter had shed his mortal coil because I was in awe of him when I was a kid. I suspect there are others, especially from the music world that I shall mourn the passing of.

Feel free to take the piss or mention my shins.

Cliff Richard's mum has died.
Didn't shock me, didn't know the woman but every death diminishes us all a bit.
One's childhood heroes of stage and screen, perhaps because on screen they never age, always come as a shock though.

When I hear of the death of any of the twelve men who walked on the moon I feel saddened. Nearly 40 years on and we've throw away what they achieved.

No one mentioned Deborah Kerr either; but perhaps that's not surprising  confused:
