John Skeffington, 14th Viscount Massereene and 7th Viscount Ferrard, death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/massereene-and-ferrard-notices_59728 Heir apparent is son Charles (b. 1973).

Ailsa Stewart has died on 5 May.

For full context (and this is why Twitter is dangerous, especially "exposé" accounts that only seek to do damage to someone's image without providing details): 1) This was reported months ago, days after he was elected – he commented on it at the time. 2) It was a fight he had out in public with his then girlfriend when he was 19. He's now 38, has subsequently married another woman and has 4 kids with her. 3) Has had no run ins with the police since. Short answer is no, nothing will come out of it.

Is that an 8 x 10 colour glossy?

So, claims he was around in the mid-eighties (when Spitting Image's Lucan puppet was frequently popping up in the background of sketches etc.)

Yuriko, Princess Mikasa (or Takahito Shinnōhi Yuriko), died on November 15th. She also QOed, if anyone has her in a pool.

Thanks YW. I see Eddie Summers is also gone. Colon cancer got him on 5th April 2022. Tribute on his LinkedIn from his daughter and a funeral fundraiser here. This death notice gives me the final DOB I need. Thus Williams was the only one of the 7 men to live into his 80s! Whole act now dead. I’ll update later today.

Final pick Norm McPhee died earlier this month.

German acror Bobby Brederlow has died at 63: https://www1.wdr.de/kultur/kulturnachrichten/bobby-brederlow-tot-100.html He was the first prominent actor in Germany with Down's syndrome

….. yeah, I think I’m happy for the list to stay away from young people with eating disorders tbh

As mentioned in the Dying Bigots thread, German Holocaust denialist and Neo-Nazi activist Ursula Haverbeck has died at age 96. For the D-A-CH-List, she is considered another miss because we included her on the first two lists in 2021 and 2022. But ultimately it is certainly a death that we are all "happy" with. One Nazi less. https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Mit-96-Jahren-Die-Holocaustleugnerin-Ursula-Haverbeck-ist-tot-article25376445.html

Actor Rolf Schimpf, who is on the list, has reached his 100th birthday. New pictures and a few words from him: https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/stars-und-leute/der-alte-rolf-schimpf-hat-runden-geburtstag-haette-nie-gedacht-dass-ich-100-werde-6733119dfcff7e66e5df81c0

Jürgen Becker has died. No, not Jürgen Becker the comedian, kabarett artist and actor. And no, not Jürgen Becker the state secretary. It's also not Jürgen Becker the jurist and academic. And no, not Jürgen Becker the theologian. It's Jürgen Becker the writer and poet. https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/literatur/schriftsteller-juergen-becker-ist-gestorben-a-e1baab11-11f4-4368-bdfd-33920da4a852 And when his son dies, things get interesting again, because his name happens to be Boris... but no, not this one...

Had my hopes up for a moment there. What a shit year it’s been

Wealthy mates and the like - even one of his former employees came out years later and said he'd been spirited away to Africa and his kids had also gone out there and he'd been able to see them (tough they didn't know he was there).
