Angus ‘Drummie’ Gaye has ‘left us to join our ancestors’, reads a statement from the band

OBIT

That's the end of the Elizabethan era, that we've all been living in for so long. From birth for most of us.
I have a feeling that with hindsight she will be seen as a relatively good monarch.
She at least kept herself away from major scandals.

I see King Charles III as a principled (enough) man.

Along with "God save the king!" I'd say "God save all of us..."

She had a passion for horse racing. Fitting that I was at Chepstow racecourse when she passed on.

Robbie Coltrane: Harry Potter actor dies aged 72

He was a terrific actor, and let's forget "Hagrid" for a moment, and remember "Cracker" and the superb "Tutti Frutti".

I think I first saw him in Tutti Frutti, which remains one of my favourite comedies. And, he was perfect as Fitz in Cracker. Gone too soon.

Good guy, sad to see him go

Aye Tutti frutti...'sweet dreams baby'. A cracker of a scene.
