Lynn Anderson has died at the age of 67 years.

She will probably be best remembered for her version of a song titled "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" which was one of the biggest Country hits of the 1970's

Back when "Rose Garden" was in the charts whenever someone in the office said "I beg your parden" someone would chime in "I never promised you a rose garden". 

Nice country song.

Sad news indeed. I'm a Liverpool man, and we take a holiday most years in Estepona, where Cilla passed away, seemingly on her balcony. She made many happy over a very long career. RIP.

I first heard George on the wirelss in "Life of Bliss". Then, as Flash Harry in the St.Trinians films. Minder was also a classic series. He was most prolific and certainly leaves a large body of quality work.

RIP George.
