RIP Hughie, a proper legend and a damn nice bloke as well. I only saw him a few years ago when he was playing a veterans’ game and he was in fine form then. This is one of my favourite pics of mine of

Not been a good year for Goodfellas actors. Hope de Niro and Pesci are being careful.

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

RIP Bernard Cribbins legend 

I realise none of us are getting out of this alive, and accept I'm an age where people that entertained us when I was a nip are now leaving us.

But Bernard always came across as a gentle lovely fella. As you say Dave, a legend.

A fabulous contribution to his business. I will remember him with fondness.

He died on the 4th July.

Did you get the news via a message in a bottle?

Seems to be confirmed.

By the way you never saw their lips touch on screen.

That was my first ever final at Wembley but sadly i don’t remember Cribbins singing. Was he a RL fan coming from Oldham, or was he a Parkinson type who used to love his free tickets for big events.

I only just read about this at the weekend.

I used to watch his performance as Robinson Crusoe with my mother in the 70s, when I was off school after an operation.

It was very comforting and a happy memory.

Sad he has died.
