Has had obituaries from all over the spectrum, but like Frank Williams, nothing from the BBC.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but when Boris is no longer prime minister, there will be six former prime ministers alive (or should be), which I'm sure has to be a record. Quite conceivable it could be seven after the general election, even if that's a few years away.

Harry Jarvis is still alive (or appears to be), but has dementia. There's even a recent photo of him (well, 2019) - https://www.chichesterpost.co.uk/2019/06/dementia-family-get-a-welcome-surprise-with-a-visit-from-stars/ -

Thanks for this. I have some questions though about whether you have found more information on a few people. This is not a criticism of why they're not on there, just a query, as I know your research is good. You don't include Rafael Souto (born 1930) of Uruguay. I must admit, this Twitter post, talks about him in the past tense - https://mobile.twitter.com/cndefhistoria/status/1320038796126281729?lang=ar - rather than saying, happy 90th birthday. Osvaldo Cruz - https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osvaldo_H%C3%A9ctor_Cruz - do you think he's dead? You also don't mention Reino Borjesson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reino_B%C3%B6rjesson - who was definitely alive in 2019. https://www.gp.se/livsstil/vm-hj%C3%A4lten-fyller-90-och-minns-sitt-st%C3%B6rsta-%C3%B6gonblick-1.12786870 -
BBC front page coverage no less. Something Frank Williams didn't muster.

The grand Old Duke of Kent

At Silverstone today. Actually looks better when he is a bit more casually dressed. If he's getting out and about as much as he is, he might be alright for a few more years Form spotting for retired racing drivers too... -
That would make her (Moore-Ingram) likeable which no one wants. I suggest Sarah Parish and Charles Dance
-
Philip Sidney Frost who died in 2011 was born in 1939, so it's not him.
-
This. He's going nowhere imminently.
-
Not really. He's extremely healthy and has been covered in The Chequered Flag thread. Good for at least 2 or 3 more years at least.

By the way, although Eric Dale's football career was very short, with just one league appearance for Shrewsbury Town, this is why I listed him as alive. https://wehavewayspod.com/eric-dale/ Nothing in GRO since and checking the birth index does give his given name as Eric. But after digging deeper, I have found this comment on Facebook from 2020. So he's gone as well. I had the pleasure of knowing Eric on & off for over 30yrs and I still see Gladys ( his widow) regularly. What a lovely couple. Both are a credit to our community and a real link to how our village life was... God bless. -

Bob Gray, who was quite probably the second oldest living player behind Graham Bailey, died in April. A legend for Gateshead, who at that time were a league team. Probably one of their few living league players. - https://www.facebook.com/gatesheadfc/posts/10158576388822344 or https://funeral-notices.co.uk/notice/gray/5033041 -
And nine months after being told she had terminal pancreatic cancer. Most impressive.

Michael McLean, James Stewart's step-son, died recently from cancer. In honor of Father's Day this week, here's Jimmy with his adopted sons Michael and Ronald, who made him an instant dad when he married Gloria in 1949. Michael passed away last month after a battle with cancer, and Ronald died in action in Vietnam in June 1969. https://t.co/LvYukPqe2a
