  1. All in all solid list. I would suppose 12-13 hits this year.

    But for my taste again some unspectacular names like Sandy Gall, Gord Downie, Gay Byrne. Quite possible that they are well known in UK, but certainly not worldwide. I mean, they even dont have a wiki-entry here in Germany...on the other Hand they have renounced some big names like Chirac, Chuck Berry, Doris Day, Kissinger....but anyway

     

    I am also surprised that Colin Meads or Mario Soares were not included, in my Point of view two certain deaths this year?!

     

    What I like is the selection of Rockefeller, Pope Benedikt, Akihito and Hugh Hefner! Well done :hatsoff:
