David Jason is a great shout.
Stephen Fry for me. Blackadder, Jeeves & Wooster, QI, some brilliant travel documentaries, fascinating history books and perfect narration of the Harry Potter audiobooks. Someone who made being knowledgeable and fiercely intelligent ‘cool’.
Distraught... no one over 80 tbh. Could get a bit "aww, I liked that person..." but when they're that old, nature is what it is. I save being distraught for younger ones, particularly those with young families.
But sure... David Attenborough is the real king of England.
Totally agree about the age thing. Queen Elizabeth was 96 and had comparatively recently lost her beloved Philip, a companion of over 70 years. She was probably ready to go.
got to be our famous person.. tony bloom... that would make me distraught... not sure anyone else would. did cry when sir bobby robson passed though... suppose, bit like with her maj, you never quite know how you will react
Attenborough’s a great shout, an amazing person, what a life lived, everyone owes him a debt of gratitude.
It's already happened - life has not been the same since Rik passed.
