Is sad!

The actors and comedians of my youth are getting ancient and passing away. That makes me feel terribly old myself

I enjoyed watching Richard Briers in 'The Good Life' from 1975 to 1978.The last time I saw him acting was in the Inspector Morse episode 'Death is Now My Neighbour'.

Lady Virginia Williams aged 66; wife of Sir Frank Williams, founder and team principal of the Williams F1 racing team. She had supported her husband in the early years of his F1 team both finacially and after an accident 27 years ago which had left him wheelchair bound. She was also very fond of swans and had built ponds at their last two homes around West Berkshire for them.
