Is he in Funeral Direction or condolences cards?

Yep - NHS England solely hospital deaths. Other services will clear the bodies from their homes and the care institutions in due course. Stay at home, save the Government's figures from skyrocketing.

Scottish figures relate to registered deaths where COVID was the principal or a secondary cause of death. English figures seem to be suppressing the true horror by relating solely to hospital deaths, where the person had been tested and (I think) COVID was the principal cause of death. Not that this number of deaths a day isn't horrific enough. Basically you can make the figures say anything you want. A truer picture tends to emerge when you get the weekly community deaths, including care homes. I mean the facts speak for themselves. You hardly are on the way to manageable levels if the UK Government are only now setting aside 30,000 mortuary places. Not including the deaths so far. Still see Boris and his pals on a par with Churchill?

I see what you did there @msc. Ah, many a ruined Hogmanay....

Death Notice for Sir Michael Oppenheimer, 3rd Baronet aged 95: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/241089/oppenheimer Apparently he held the baronetcy since 1933. No heir according to Wiki.

Nobody, I'm social distancing.

Ronan O'Rahilly report here: https://radiotoday.ie/2020/04/radio-caroline-founder-ronan-orahilly-has-died/ time looking for a QO (guaranteed in due course).

I'm slowly edging towards him being on my Poker Tourney team.

Johnny Kidd And The Pirates. Sadly, little to report from my searches on the missing members. However, Mike West has a trail being vocalist with Robbie Hood And His Merry Men and then managed by Reg Calvert which led me to this page: http://www.regcalvert-plays.co.uk/re-unions-of-the-boys.php Says on the only mention of West that he is "no longer with us", so - dead. When, where, etc, who knows.

Apparently a Lady of the Bedchamber at Clarence House for, and until the death of, the Queen Mother.

Run out of Ps there Deathers? Could have gone with pathetic prick instead of the bold. But I'm not here to tell you what you should do. Let me pretend I'm being useful, there's a war on and I've no piano.

Use IMDB Deathers, I posted his death, I got to choose which show I fancied. No bother if anyone wants to post in the cop show thread.

Well, someone has reported Sean Arnold's death: https://www.itv.com/news/channel/2020-04-19/bergerac-star-sean-arnold-dies/ By the look of him, he should have been on at least one radar....
