Very sad the paper's today have not given it much coverage, if it been a 'famous for 5 mins' TV star, it would have been headlines, sad, sign of our times.

Apart from presumably the initial breaking news, I never saw anything on John Bardon, not even on the Six or the Ten!

There was a nice coverage on the South East News, I didn't realise that there was a theatre named after him, students and people involved in that theatre spoke very fondly of him.
So sad, the great Sir Donald Sinden has died, he lived not far from me near a place called Tenterden in Kent, and when he shopped in Waitrose, you could always hear his voice.
:) I live in Tenterden and remember hearing his voice 'project' around Waitrose as well! He was a lovely man who was always chatting to people in the queue at the checkouts.

And in the waitrose lift, that was the first time I meet him.
Anyone else here feel we've another "Farrah Fawcett" moment with Sir Donald Sinden's passing?
The death of another famous person announced hours after the announcement of Sinden's death usurped that and meant that Sinden's death barely featured on the evening news.:(
Ahh yes, sadly. Twas the same with Sergei Prokofiev (Uncle Joe Stalin) and the little Indian nun that looked like a croissant (DPOW!).
I had no idea, Elaine Strich had died too. RIP to you all.
