Updated The Doobie Brothers entry for the death of John Hartman. Someone please tell me if they find a date of death for him.

And who would have imagined he’d get a QO!

Guardian obit Born Harry Landinski in Stepney in 1926, so he was actually 95(!). The email I was sent saying 1936 must’ve been a typo. @Sean

John Marks (wiki), doctor and chair of the British Medical Association (1984–1990), died yesterday at the age of 97, according to a Facebook post from his wife. Marks was one of the very few surviving doctors who joined the NHS during the period of its creation.

Danish journalist and writer Lise Nørgaard dead at 105 according to her Wiki page. Can't find anything on FB, Twitter or Google. Vandalism?

Nope.

I think there’s an obit here for Marilyn P. Johnson (wiki), U.S. diplomat, who has died aged 100. Can’t see it cos it’s Euro blocked. Maybe one of our U.S. members can help.

James Arthur Ewing was living in Italy by 1961. Probably died there. Someone really must find a way of accessing the Italian death records. It would resolve so many of these limbo names.

37.5 million in the UK at "peak". When you measure the overall figure, you look at total number, not averages. 37.5 million in the UK alone is pretty incredible. That's over half of the entire population.

Just reporting on what the papers are saying babe. For now it's an estimate. It will be a while until we know for certain.

Still to be certified officially by Guinness but her funeral was watched by a staggering 4.1 billion people worldwide. The current record holder is the 1996 Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony (3.6 billion).

Virginio Rognoni (wiki) dead at 98.

Believe it's from his 83rd birthday in 2016.

David Attenborough won’t be given a state funeral.

Mildred Kornman finally scoops a QO. Telegraph obit

The first act of the new king should be forbidding anyone from naming their child “Meghan”. Never met or known of a Meghan/Megan who wasn’t a cunt, or at best, a massive chav.

Sometimes it's better to offer before you're asked, especially if you're going to subsequently complain. I have no problem with the front page not being completely up to date for a week or two. It's hard work. The ppl running DL have lives elsewhere too, and presumably better things to do than eulogising a dead foreign film director. And as @msc just correctly pointed out, yes it did used to be much much slower...

I'm not the one complaining. You are.

The people behind DL have had to update that bloody front page for decades, so tell you what? Why don't you write it for them this time? Then they can just copy and paste it over. So many people on here are happy to complain but offer such little help...

According to Twitter, John Cruickshank VC, who is 102, attended. Any photos?

Do we know an air time?

She wasn’t there. I should emphasise however that the funeral was more so for official dignitaries. The private service later will include 800+ people. The whole of the Royal family, all the godchildren of the Queen and many staff past and present. Here’s the last photo I could find of her, from late May.
