I'd forgotten about the campaign for nuclear disarmament. Not looking so clever now is it.

Both sides should disarm silly. That was always the argument.

If we really want to reach 200 pages, let's speculate a bit about the actual burial arrangements at the George VI Memorial Chapel. The received wisdom seems to be that George VI was placed there first and then several decades later Queen Mother above his coffin. And then the late Queen and Philip would have been stacked beside them one on top of the other. But wouldn't it have been about million times easier to place the first two coffins side by side? And then place the last two again side by side above the first ones? That way both couples could rest together more naturally. Also, shouldn't the chapel's name be changed to eg. George VI & Elizabeth II Memorial Chapel?

Perhaps it's a case of 'as in death as in life'. And who are we to speculate on the bedroom positions that the royal Elizabeths enjoyed.

Interview with Jeannette Charles (wiki). Looking and sounding a little frail in my opinion, she speaks very highly of the Queen and the Royals in the interview. When asked if she had ever personally met the Queen she says "no comment". She turns 95 a week today.

Two of the most prominent impersonators of the Queen still with us and both in their mid 90s. One wonders... who will go first... her or Stanley Baxter?

Will do 2009–2010 next then an individual post for every year from 2011 to 2022 I reckon.

There's loads closer to the end, unsurprisingly. I've tried to cover as many folk as possible but I'm leaving out those on the fringes of fame, as well as murder victims, right to die patients, vaguely notable soldiers, IRA terrorists, Ulster unionist paras etc. Also anyone who was famous only because they died. There are too many of them. It will take too long and including them kind of defeats the purpose of the list, which is to highlight the famous people who were both born and died as Elizabethans.

To me, MacCorkindale will always be Jonathan Chase of Manimal fame. A memorable role not least because of the, then state-of-the-art, now entirely unrealistic transformations. Taken much too soon.

Interview with Jeannette Charles (wiki). Looking and sounding a little frail in my opinion, she speaks very highly of the Queen and the Royals in the interview. When asked if she had ever personally met the Queen she says "no comment". She turns 95 a week today.

Two of the most prominent impersonators of the Queen still with us and both in their mid 90s. One wonders... who will go first... her or Stanley Baxter?
 

 


I have to say I've never thought Jeannette Charles looked like the Queen. In that b&w picture she looks more like Lee Montague in drag.

For some of those on that list I could have sworn it was 3 or 4 years ago, not 2010. Also how does a 53yo die of natural causes? Although I guess cancer is a natural cause in some ways, at least more natural than jumping off a bridge.

Pretty much everything outside of accident, murder and suicide is "natural causes".  Some people prefer to keep the details private.

I put it in inverted commas because natural causes is not a scientific term or a “real” cause of death (though note the difference between scientific and legal cause because in the UK “natural causes” or “old age” can be official causes on a death certificate, watch I think is ridiculous in 2022). “Natural causes” is a blanket term for thousands of possible causes. As Toast said, many families prefer to use it in order to keep specific medical details private.

 

“Natural causes” covers anything from 200+ cancers, undiagnosed heart conditions (either genetic eg congenital heart defect, or developed eg heart disease), strokes, haemorrhages and aneurysms, SADS, as well as any form of neurological, viral, bacterial condition etc.

 

And if you think a 53 year old cannot die of natural causes, know that one of my current clients is a 35 year old man on his 2nd heart attack, 2nd stroke, and has narrowly survived double pneumonia, COVID and septicaemia. His body is fucked because he never looked after himself. Lived off of takeaways and never brushed his teeth for a start (which is strongly linked to heart disease). Long story short is you can die of natural causes at any age, but in many cases you can delay it for a very long time by taking care of yourself. Some are unavoidable though – the Nolans clearly have a genetic history of cancer. Laura Branigan and her family had a genetic history of aneurysms. The consequences of genetic conditions can be delayed or reduced by due diligence but they’re harder to swerve completely… it’s best not to think about them too often. Not much you can do.

Probably. Whenever it’s someone from a south Asian background and they check out early I automatically presume it’s their heart as it seems to be the case more than often.

Sue Carroll's death I'll never forget. The joker of my proposed DDP debut, and I saw the announcement of her death checking my phone at the family Christmas dinner and, without thinking, loudly went "OH FUCK IT!" at the top of my voice in front of my entire family (mum, gran, younger relatives etc etc). I had to pretend I'd just bashed my knee off the table.

I wonder how many of us here have family and friends who actually know about this site and about how much many of us read and post things here? This is a secret hobby for me.
