I think that will be the first time Europe won't have a single female reigning monarch since the 1700's.

This is unrelated to Guy, but has there been any news on Corinne Marchand recently? She turned 92 this month and had her last acting role in 2017. I can't seem to find anything, but maybe I'm searching in the wrong places.

8/15, 3 of them were lucky guesses.

I voted for Baxter. It'll be Carter, though.

Mildred Miller is dead, but she died before Day O'Connor did. No new round, right? I would have cross-posted @Ulitzer95's post from the Opera thread but currently on phone so don't know how.

Surprised by the lack of Attenborough on this page. Yes, he seems to be in great health, but he will also turn 98 (in May). I'd say bring him back on the list and keep him on until his name goes red.

Finally a DL without Kissinger's name on it.

It won't be Jimmy, but I voted for Jimmy.

Not unexpected due to the Alzheimer rumours, but still sad. That leaves Bob Houghton (1947) as the final living English manager to have made an European Cup final, losing the 1979 final with the Swedish side Malmö FF.

2020 is out of the question, but getting more hits than 2017 might be possible. 3 hits in less than 1.5 month is a lot, but when looking at some of the picks, I could see it happen.

After the hospice announcement I already had a hunch she'd go before Jimmy would, but I didn't expect it to be this fast.
