June Spencer dies aged 105.

Or it will motivate him to live for another 4 years to get rid of Trump. He wanted to die in peace knowing his work was done and his country was safe.

As a comedian she wasn’t really notable at all but did have some loyal followers north of the border. Otherwise she is only really known for her arguments and general unpleasantness…not exactly a national treasure.

BBC just sent out a nationwide breaking news alert.

The “health battle” was a Covid positive test in 2022, when the episode was filmed. Yes, the Mirror really thinks this is worthy of a whole article. https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/beat-chasers-anne-hegerty-replaced-34010540.amp

This thread is a goldmine of things aging badly, but surely nothing more than this?

Yes, looks like a much slower onset. No really noticeable decline 2 years after diagnosis.

Janey Godley, if she makes it.

Also had absolutely nothing to say about the last general election, not even on Twitter. Normally he would be first in the queue to gloat about a Labour landslide.

I’d also add Amanda Barrie (born 1935) who remains excellent for her age.

Geoffrey looking well, although being stabbed by a lightsaber may not be ideal for his recovery

people actually find this entertaining?

New picture of Geoffrey and Sachin Tendulkar. Not looking too bad, all things considered. https://x.com/geoffreyboycott/status/1835044051885998437

His father pictured in the Mail - if it’s recent he looks pretty well for 95. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13783959/amp/sven-goran-eriksson-father-breaks-silence-tribute-england-manager-death.html

At least he died without a prolonged period of suffering, said goodbye to the people that mattered and spent his final days in his beloved hometown. RIP Sven.

Barbara Knox gave a speech at Manchester Pride today - in fine form for almost 91, she wouldn’t be anywhere near my list yet.

Didn’t make it to London to promote his new Amazon documentary and his daughter says he is “deteriorating quite quickly”. https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/sven-goran-erikssons-daughter-makes-33493555

Had no idea she was still alive. That’s an excellent shout. Here she is earlier this year: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/reparecio-isabel-peron-a-los-93-anos-le-dieron-un-premio-en-espana-nid18032024/

Easy to say now but even in recent pics didn’t look bad for his age. And as noted earlier in the thread, was a notorious drama queen who was complaining about being at death’s door for years.
