I don’t remember much about him but some of the tributes this morning from his former team mates are heart breaking. That’s no age and such sad news.

When he dies, can just imagine a big celebration of relief after too many years of him at the helm at the expense of the poor civilians.

Emma Chambers ... the dizzy assistant of Dawn French in the Vicar of Dibley has passed away.

Only 53 and died from natural causes ... didn't think that was possible at that age.

[Fox92]

Just read about Emma Chambers. Sad. So young.

 

Her role and acting in Vicar of Dibley is brilliant.

Surely 'natural causes' is just a polite way of not wanting to be specific?

 

Are not cancer, heart disease stroke etc natural causes?

Roger Bannister, climbing the stairway to heaven. 

 

Lucky for him that he ran all those mile races. If he'd walked 500 miles, like the Proclaimers, we wouldn't be talking about him now.

He made history, he was knighted for his sporting achievements in athletics. Undoubtedly a shining light and an inspiration for so many athletes.

Everyone dies.

 

I dread reading FT when HM The Queen carks it.

You sir are the grim reeper

[Izzy]

Boring fact of the day: My Dad's golf partner (now in his 70's) was a tax man for the revenue and part of the prosecution team that charged Dodd for tax fraud. 

 

Favorite Ken Dodd joke: What a beautiful day for pouring a tin of whitewash over the pigeons in Trafalgar square and asking "How do you like it?" 

[Crinklyfox]

Most will remember Ken Dodd as a comedian but he was also a successful singer.  'Tears' was one of the best selling singles of the 60s.

 

He was also loved by millions of children for his TV series with the Diddymen.  RIP.

[SpacedX]

The whole of Liverpool is in mourning over his demise.

 

 

They're pretty upset about Doddy too.

Stephen Hawking. 76. RIP

[Crinklyfox]

Stephen Hawking - the term 'inspiration' is over-used but in his case it's exactly what he was.

[Fox92]

Astonishing and inspirational man. RIP Stephen Hawking.
