This picture was posted on a TV fan site on facebook of her travelling first class
Does not yet look ripe for inclusion here
Glad to see her looking so well. Probably has still a few years to go at least, though I wouldn't be surprised if she made the front page next year.
The discussion above about her KUA co-stars reminds me, when was the last time David Griffin (Emmet) was seen in public? He hasn't had any TV roles after 2005.

He's also been put into a nursing home against his wife's will. Tough guy, he's got atleast 3 or 4 different serious diseases but seems to be indestructible and survives every hospitalisation
Palmu turned 78 today. He got some good health news for a change, as his bladder cancer is gone.
How is a man who has survived two house fires planning to celebrate his birthday? By smoking a cigar and barbecuing, of course.

Sad news. He actually died back on 10 June.
Siiri Rantanen is now the last survivor of the original Pro Urheilu (Finnish sports award) recipients.

56 minutes ago, Gisooo said:Does anyone know what may have happened to British child actor Philip Frost (IMDb) ?
He was born in 1926 and seems to be still alive around 95 to 96. I just wanted a sign if he is still alive.
He played Tiny Tim in Scrooge (1935) and Valentine in Wings of the Morning (1937)
I did some searching. Couldn't find anything definitive, but here's what I found: IMDb mentions he was credited once as Philip Sydney Frost.
The closest match on FreeBMD seems to be a Philip S. Frost born on Q2/1926 in Hackney (Of course, there's a chance the birth year and place on IMDb might not be correct), and Ancestry (don't have a subscription, so I can't see all info) suggests this person's middle name is Sidney.
Find a Will has a Philip Sidney Frost who died on 30 April 2011, but I can't link it to this person. GRO might have the answer, but I can't access that myself, and even then, I can't really prove it is definitely the actor.

1 hour ago, Bibliogryphon said:One of those names that could so easily have ended up on the DL particularly because of the affection for Clive Dunn but he kept popping up at events associated with Dad's Army so I think most people thought he had a couple more years
Indeed. I reckon he would've made the front page had he lasted a year or two longer.
That being said, Ian Lavender might be worth a punt soon. He is only 76, but has had health issues in the past and he looked quite frail a couple of years back:

Yup, that’s me having that argument with him!Some Floridian golf wanker. His argument was “well it could be a distant cousin”. I mean, there’s even an article from several years prior stating that he was dying from dementia in a care home! It’s blatantly him.
This probably doesn't help much, but there's a BillionGraves entry (without a grave pic) for Besselink as well.

This is a very obscure one, but maybe someone can help me with this: English actress Kathleen Helme (IMDB).
She looks quite old on her appearances in Corrie and Emmerdale during 1960s and 1970s, which is why I assumed she died decades ago. However, there is this tweet from 2020, posted by an antique seller who is claiming to sell stuff from her estate, which suggest she might've died only a few years back.
Find a Will has a Kathleen Mary Helme who died on 30 December 2019. Could this be the same person? There is no birth date on IMDB, which makes research quite difficult. Searching FreeBMD, the closest match seems to be a Kathleen M Helme born in Q2/1921.
Only other info I have is that she graduated from RADA in 1948 and that she appeared in a radio play called The Linden Tree in 1997.

12 hours ago, Sean said:The Dingles are now without an identity since he left.They have been tamed down and show none of the roughness that Shadrach represented perfectly.They even mellowed down Zack not that I think he is in it much.That gets me thinking Steve Halliwell might be worth a punt soon.76 heart problems and had a rough life before fame.
Halliwell is definitely a good shout. He has been looking and sounding quite frail after the heart surgery he had couple of years back and he doesn't really appear that much in the soap anymore.

Glad to hear they paid tribute at least. Apparently he was omitted from the In Memoriam montage.

According to this tweet, Tom Oliver (Lou Carpenter in Neighbours) is quite unwell and might not be able to reprise his role in the Neighbours finale. This was apparently mentioned by Oliver's co-star Ian Smith (Harold Bishop) in a Radio 2 special, but I haven't listened it myself.
