Rest in Peace

Aww I liked Josephine Tewson. She was in a sweet wee programme called Clarence with Ronnie Barker. She was in a lot of things of his like Open All Hours and the Two Ronnie's. Also Midsummer Murders.

Darius has shocked me. He always seemed so vital and healthy. I met him once and he made time to talk to everyone and really listen. He even got the door for me when I was struggling. He was a proper gentleman and incredibly handsome. I believe his parents are cancer survivors, this must be so hard for them

John Challis - Boycie in Only Fools has died.
I go to a lot of Xmas markets and country shows. Often used to see him there, selling his books. We went to the Great Yorkshire Show this year and he was there, think it was June. My husband said he looked terrible, he didn’t look right, we didn’t realise he had been suffering with cancer.

How sad! He was so young. May he RIP

Keeping up appearances, wow. I just looked and found out that Patricia Routledge is still alive and is 93.

Gutted about Darius. Was listening to him in the car the other day and husband asked who it was and laughed at me, i told him he was a really nice person and his music was lovely. So sad

Amen. When David Bowie died I was an absolute mess at work, I was just sat at my desk crying my eyes out all day. One of my colleagues asked me why I was so upset about the death of some "has been pop singer". I just looked at them incredulously and asked if they had any idea of what he'd meant to me and thousands of others. This quote sums up exactly what I couldn't articulate.

I'm still reeling at Taylor's death. I can't imagine what DG is going through now having lost two dear collaborators both far too early. It's just too sad. What a loss to the world.

So very sad. Here in Yorkshire she's the Queen of writing. I have watched pretty much all her shows over the years. Children's Ward as a show I grew up watching in my school days. Syndicate is really good. She kept being ill private which makes it more of a shock when it's announced. I hope James Corden posts about it on his social media as she gave him his big break in Fat Friends.

Even the Yorkshire Queen of writing is allowed one mistake!

Poor Shane, I never followed his cricket career but remember him as Wayne Shaun in Kath & Kim. Sharon must be devastated….

To be honest my mind went straight to Kath & Kim when I heard the news.

The actress who played Sharon tweeted this

Rest in peace Tom Parker. So gutted to hear the sad news

I can't believe it. This one has really hit me. Poor Taylor. He was always so funny and gave great interviews. Such a big personality.

I’m so sorry Doodlebug that your father had to go through that and you had to experience it. Sending you hugs tonight

Thank you, verykind of you., we were too young to lose him, my heart break for Dame Deborahs kids… we give out about social media but at least lots of memories have been preserved.

I thought this was lovely from John Travolta

This really got me, what a gorgeous tribute
Rest in peace beautiful lady . I was obsessed with Grease when I was growing up x

 

[LyraBalaqua]

Expecting this news but so awful nonetheless.

Her family must be beyond devastated.

RIP Jethro Lazenby, the son of Nick Cave.
The greatest sadness for all parents, outliving your children, and his second son to pass.
I have the best memories of going to gigs after moving to London to study in the early 80's, The Birthday Party and The Cramps at the Hammersmith Palais was mindblowing.
This is one of Nick's most beautiful songs, it was sung at a family wedding recently, i cried.

Rest in peace Sir Sidney Poitier. What a talent. Such sad news.

Remember Dennis Waterman when he was in The Sweeny with John Thaw, yes I'm

Just read a piece on Fletch from DMode. He died from an aortic dissection. Which is most common in men 60-70. So at least there are answers.
