Sad news indeed. Jimmy Weldon, 96, is now the sole surviving voice actor from The Yogi Bear Show in the 60s.

The British media are being slow on this. Still, whinging on here won't make them go any faster. Write The Guardian or The Telegraph an email if you really want it that fast and they may oblige.

Schlesinger wasn’t the lead singer. That was Chris Collingwood. Very much still alive.

Feel free to.

104 year old veteran makes recovery from the virus, celebrates his birthday.

Just a small request, when we do these updates can we please highlight the name gone in red and/or strikethrough so we can see which lists they came off of?

Looks like he’s tested positive for cake also.

Don't know what makes you think this. If you scroll through the Recent Deaths list on Wikipedia, in the last 30 days about a dozen centenarians that were on "our radars" have died. However, the List of living centenarians page shows another dozen notable names celebrated their 100th birthday in the last 30 days. There's no surplus in deaths. It's just your imagination.

Eileen Ash and Fauja Singh (both born 1911, but Singh's birth is dubious) will definitely both obit.

Dan Snow has reported his death, aged 108, on Twitter.

LOL. Pranking on April Fools' Day is supposed to stop at noon.

And dead.

That's a brilliant list! I think the Thatcher years makes sense now, maybe even the Major Gov. But with Blair you'd be giving yourself a huge task, particularly because of the size he inflated the Government to and how long it lasted for. Vast majority of them are still about.

You're quite right, I forgot to mention he was the exception.

Not quite. Probably the last living Cabinet member. Lord Denham (92) was a minister in both the Macmillan and Douglas-Home Governments. Lord John Eden (94) is now the only MP to have been elected before the 1955 UK General Election (both him and Ramdsen were elected in by-elections in 1954).

James Ramsden was also the oldest, as well as the last living member of the Privy Council appointed in 1960s (he joined it in 1963!). For anyone outside the UK – the Privy Council is a body of public officials, from Britain and the Commonwealth, that advises the Queen. Once you're on it, membership is for life with the rare exception of resignation (often due to scandal e.g. Profumo). The earliest surviving member is now Lord John Morris (88) who was Secretary of State for Wales (74–79). He joined in 1970. The oldest members are now Sir Stephen Brown (95), Sir Roy Beldam (95), Lord John Eden (94), the Earl of Airlie (93), the Earl of Crawford (93) and Lord Donald Ross (93) but there are 22 members aged 90+. Other notable nonagenarian members are Lord James Mackay (92), Lord Bill Rodgers (91), Baroness Betty Boothroyd (90), Australian Speaker Ian Sinclair (90) and their Deputy PM Doug Anthony (90), Lord Douglas Hurd (90) and Mauritian PM Sir Anerood Jugnauth (90).

It's the death notice that the family have put up. Different section of a broadsheet. The Telegraph haven't published an obit yet. That will inevitably follow...

Yes. What makes you think otherwise?

Update on this... 2 gone in 10 days. 15 remaining.

Loads of MPs have had it. Few of them have gone public with it. Sharma used to be my MP when I lived in west London. Fucking useless doesn't quite cover it. He was totally invisible. Momentum almost got him binned last year and I wish they had succeeded. Still, I wouldn't wish any harm to come of the man.

Paul Chuckle (who is 72) was on the news earlier saying he had been bed bound with symptoms but is now “on the mend”.

Such as?

And dead.
