    RIP June Brown, Ooh I Say, thought she would go on forever, reminds me of my Grandma in the sense she looked ancient forever, a true soap legend they don’t make them like Dot Cotton anymore.

    Watching Memorial waiting to see how Queen looks but always annoy me do programmes like this as they make out Royal’s (Phillip this time) are saints they couldn’t get further up their arses if they tried.

    I’m 23 and I knew 3 of my 4 great grand parents on my mum’s side : two of them got to 97 and 95, the other one is still alive and was in wonderful shape till her 100 birthday approximately (could still walk by herself, had great memories, was really energic). All of them had wonderful memories about hiding Jews during the war which I heard of from my grandpa’s brother who told us about it this summer : It was so interesting and I’m kind of proud of my ancestors for that ! 
    On my dad’s side, I knew 2 of my great grandparents one of them got to 99 so I think I have good genes :D

    My Grandma was born in Poland in 1927, when she was 11 almost 12 the Russians and Germans came to were she lived and threatened her, her family and the rest of the polish people at gunpoint to go with them, they were all stuck in the back of an old train with Rats and so forth and had no food or Water and when people died from starvation and exhaustion they were chucked there bodies out of the train and they were left at the side of the track. Somehow all her family including her parents and siblings survived and ended up in Russia and sent to manual work, eventually they made there way to Africa on a boat were the family got separated from her Mother who was ill, they looked everywhere on the boat for her Mother and were told a woman who matched her description died and was thrown into the sea, to this day she assumes this was her Mother but doesn’t know for sure as she never saw her again and there were no records in those days. 

     

    In Africa they lived in terrible conditions and my Grandma almost died of starvation and her little brother did die of starvation aged 7 and she and the rest of her family had to carry his body and dig his grave and bury him. Also another brother went out looking for food and was captured by the Germans and she never saw him again, years later he got in contact with my Grandma’s sister and they were all about to be reunited but just before the reunion was about to happen he dropped dead of a heart attack. Her Dad also died of a heart attack just before her 16th Birthday and she and her Sister were all that was left of the family. When her Dad died my Grandma collapsed and spent 2 weeks in Hospital and she was told she had a weak heart, which she keeps telling us about, though at almost 95 it can’t be that weak, though she did have a heart attack in 1999 which almost killed her.
     

    As well as this she has had severe Pneumonia 3 times but survived, had a minor Stroke in the 1980’s, fallen down the stairs and cracked her head when she was nursing my Grandad who was in the last stages of cancer back in 1985. Also she had a choking incident about 4 years ago when some food went down the wrong way and she passed out and was turning blue, we thought she was dead but she suddenly came back seemingly from the dead and by the time the ambulance came she was washing up despite us telling her to stop, the paramedics said they could tell something had happened when they checked her over due to how her heart was beating. She also nearly died when she was 4 years old as one of her brothers chopped part of her finger of and she nearly bled to death. Also involved in a crash on a Bus when going down town to do some shopping and was badly hurt. All of her brothers and sisters as well as her parents were dead by there mid 50’s at the latest but at almost 95 she is still going.

    My Great, Great Auntie from my Dad’s side was born in 1902 and lived to be 99 she eventually died in 2001 when I was 16. She died the day before the World trade centre attacks in America, she was one of those people who seemed to linger on forever she had dementia for years, couldn’t walk was incontinent and had various other health issues but just wouldn’t die, even as a kid saying “If I ever get as bad as that shoot me.”
     

    Currently oldest person I know is my Grandma from my Mum’s side she is 94 almost 95, she is in reasonable health for her age apart from a bad back and hip, she is frailer than she was a couple of years ago but certainly in much better shape than my Aunt was at the same age.and My Grandma is still fairly Independent and can still look after herself but is now housebound since COVID and had recently had to start using a walking stick which has been a nightmare as you would think it was the end of the world, she’s been so independent all her life and can’t cope with losing some of her independence though listening to her you’d think she was on her deathbed but that is nothing new I’m almost 37 and she has been on her last legs for as long as I’ve known her.   If she was famous she would be on the immortals list the amount of stuff she has gone through and survived is incredible especially during the  Second World War.

    Out of all the eastenders actors would be a close call to pick Bill Treacher or Leonard Fenton

    Could go either way but would think Leonard Fenton would go first he is almost 96 whilst Bill Treacher is almost 92, 4 years is a long time when you reach that age. Might end up being June Brown going first surely her lungs won’t be able to stand much more though they have lasted this long so who knows? Will be interesting to see how she looks when she picks up her OBE from the palace see if there is any noticeable decline as she has been out of spotlight for some time now.

    Always amazes me that in real life there was only 9 years between James Fleet and Gary Waldhorn

    Yeah just noticed that when looking on Wiki a few minutes ago, Hugo and David looked like they really could of been Father and Son looks and age wise thought there was at least 20 odd years between them, surprised they were relatively close in age compared to what I thought.

    Former Villa player and cup winner Peter McParland popped up at HT in some sort of montage thing  Looked very well for a man turning 88 in April

    Must admit I thought that myself will easily be the last surviving player left from the 1957 Fa Cup final only him and Sir Bobby Charlton left. Also some barge into goalie Ray Wood, would probably be done for assault nowadays, certainly a different era.

    Oddly I’ve just checked the credits and she wasn’t credited but I am sure I saw her and remember commenting. 

    Yes she was in it on Christmas Day talking to Jenny and Daisy but it was a blink and you missed it scene. Barbara Knox is 88 now and her appearances have dramatically reduced probably due to COVID though I think age unsurprisingly is catching up with her as she looks frail and dithery also heard rumours she is in the early stages of dementia.

    Really thought she would make her 100th Birthday sad news Brilliant actress only 17 or if she died yesterday 18 days shy of the big day. Loved her in Golden Girls amongst other things. Was only reading a couple of hours ago how she was still in great health for her age.

    If Deathlist doesn’t pick Pele in 2022 it’ll be a huge WTF

    Agreed I would be surprised if he was still with us this time next year, the statement when he was released from Hospital a couple of days ago wasn’t as positive as they usually are, usually they go overboard about how healthy he is and put out some cheesy statement about how he is “Ready to play his next game and score a few more goals”, were as this time it just mentions he has been released and will have more treatment for his Colon Cancer. I think they have sent him home to enjoy one last Christmas, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is readmitted to Hospital in the New Year.
