This definitely did not merit a BBC breaking news notification on my phone early.
They've got a trigger happy intern sending those notifications right now.
Is it you, Crem?At least it’s actually breaking News rather than some notifications from both the BBC and Sky which are just filler articles.

She looks like she could go on for a few more years yet. Can’t be many people 19 years after a dementia diagnosis who can still be taken out to public places and presumably be able to eat in public even with some assistance.

He hasn’t yet but his wife Clare has died suddenly.

I’ve decided I’m only posting those who either fit into specific occupation categories, are over 100, are British or have a photo on their wiki page.

He is starting to look physically frail now on top of brain function decline.

Billie Jean King looks quite frail now a days. At the Australian Open this morning she needed help getting down the steps from the podium where she gave the trophy out.

That article surely doesn’t help him. If he wants to clear his name he should do it quietly - I mean a lot of the damage comes from his stupid interview anyway.

Very sad news.

Her standing down from that a couple of years ago to be replaced by Celia Imrie was what made me think her health was in serious decline

16 minutes ago, msc said:Willz requested The Stage as a future QO during Latham Gate. We looked into it at the time. They didn't date their obits at the time and it was behind a paywall. The Cmme in general was wary that is a bit too specialist - if The Stage is allowed, why not the Racing Post? And so on.
Radio Times got on because it was the best seller in its field and as a make-do for not having The Stage. Which has since provided 0 obits - but I like having it there as legacy media.
I wonder when they switched to dating them.

I’ve noticed the Stage dates its obituaries so should it be considered as an Obit source for 2024? It’s no more niche than the Radio Times.
Also the List of the Missed has started of busier this year. 11 already for January compared to 9 last January.
