Ulitzer95 11,172 Posted July 15, 2020 Out of interest, how long do we think he’ll last for? He looks very frail. Sweepstake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perhaps 1,367 Posted July 15, 2020 I reckon he’s a goner next year. Especially if the trend of the oldest debutant of the list dying in recent years carries on, he’ll be a good pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fergie86 358 Posted July 17, 2020 15 minutes ago, torbrexbones said: Which one will go first? They both look quite frail in that picture. Definitely Sir Tom, he is 6 years older, a bloke so more likely to snuff it first plus won’t have medical resources available to him that the Queen has. A better question is who will go first Sir Tom or Prince Phillip? Would probably say Phillip but the best medical care available might swing it for him.

One is using a walking frame to stand up, the other is holding a sword up in the air and still standing up, I think that answers the question on who's more frail. Point of interest: wonder when the last time was she knighted someone older than herself? Dame Angela Lansbury maybe? Actually, didn't Dame Olivia only get hers relatively recently? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dame Angela is probably the answer as she did turn up to meet the Queen in 2014. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
