Richard Sharp, former Redruth, Bristol and Wasps rugby player. He also played for and captained England and played for the British Lions.

His playing days were well before my time, but his name is legendary in Cornish rugby circles.

Bernard Cornwell named his fictional character, Richard Sharpe, after him.

R. I. P. Richard.

Never really got the credit he was, rightly, due being behind the bigger names of Tilbrook, Difford & Holland but a great drummer all the same. A great loss to music!!

Quite fancied her back in the day ;-)
Seem to recall she had a frosty TV interview with Sue Lawley sitting in for Wogan.
RIP.

There was no finer sight than a braless Connie Booth.

That's brought back some memories of my "awakening"

RIP Shirley Valentine And a fantastic Queen Victoria in Doctor Who

I first remember Pauline in Upstairs, Downstairs, and I really enjoyed Shirley Valentine.

She was a great actress.

R. I. P. Pauline.

I always remember her when she was in Upstairs Downstairs.

I remember the fist episode where she conned herself into Mrs Bridges kitchen, fantastic series and a fantastic actress.
