The soundtrack to Lost Horizon. My folks had the original soundtrack album back in the day, lost now like its horizon. Holy heck, there are some stand out numbers.

Returning the favour, Freeman Dyson a hit for @Bibliogryphon!

Caancer.

Obit for journalist and sometime broadcaster Miranda Ward, reportedly the first female voice heard on Radio 1: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/feb/27/miranda-ward-obituary Had the flat where Sandy Denny collapsed, later to die in hospital, apparently.

Jockey who rode Magic Court to victory in the 1964 Champion Hurdle then finished runner-up in the Grand National in both 1965 and 1966 on Freddie, Pat McCarron, reportedly dead:

Well, think I'll have to put it in context with the other songs once all the entries are in, but I see nothing magical, exciting, different about the UK entry. There were certainly no hairs on my arms raising moments, and the poor lad probably has chilblains, however it was good to isolate him from the coronavirus.

Surely that takes you outside the two month limit in the OP?

Barely scrapes into it, but death notice for Sir David Evans, Canadian pilot in the war who rose to the rank of Air Chief Marshal in the RAF: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/239805/evans

Michael Medwin was one of those actors who had a hit in the 1950s hitting #5 in July 1958. Besides which, a marvellous actor who I thought would be forgotten and passed over when he died. Straight to BBC is wonderful that he has been remembered.

29 days later....it's a leap year.

So.…. 1920 - Michael Shaw, Baron Shaw of Northstead/Clarissa Eden 1921 - George "Jonny" Johnson/Iris Apfel 1922 - Norman Lear/Lucia Hiriart Pinochet 1923 - Bob Barker/Baroness Jill Knight 1924 - Robert Solow/Cicely Tyson 1925 - Sydney Samuelson/Angela Lansbury 1926 - Johnny Beattie/Doreen Mantle 1927 - Pope Benedict XVI/Margaret Stuart Barry 1928 - Richard M Sherman/Sally Oppenheim-Barnes 1929 - Bob Newhart/Thelma Barlow Hits: Harry Leslie Smith Stanley Donen Nexhmije Hoxha

Dropped Mubarak, so Committee bounces all over my hopes and dreams again: YW - 3, DL - 4.

Jeez, awful double whammy Biblio.

Yes, I think it was the performance that is hilarious. Anyhow, he stands a chance, as a true Eurovision legend, of obiting in the UK. RIP you utter legend!

Ding dong, Reaper calling! "Well, hellllllooooo" Leslie Phillips in case that's not clear.

F**k and B****r! Update soon.
