I must be getting old, I really does not seem that long ago that Brian Johnston died. I can still hear his voice.

Brilliant mathematician and statistician. Handsome, as can be seen from his pic, persecuted for his homosexuality that eventually led to his suicide What bastards we were then

You may have noticed though, I 'remember' them on their birthdays.Didn't notice a birthday theme from the first post so just thought it was for people you remembered and carried on! Cyril Fletcher (25 June 1913 – 2 January 2005) was an English comedian, actor and businessman. His catchphrase was 'Pin back your lugholes'. He was best-known for his "Odd Odes", which later formed a section of the television show That's Life!. He first began performing the Odd Odes in 1937, long before they first appeared on television (though he did appear on pre-World War II television)

Three British actors who all created acting dynasties, Edward Fox, James Fox, and Michael Redgrave As can be seen I still haven't quite got the hang of this. You only get "Add attachment" if you reply to somebody, not if it is just a new post or am I missing something

"Fearless" Freddie Mills was born on June 26, 1919 in Bournemouth, England. In 1936, at the age of 17, he began a highly successful and colourful professional boxing career which made him the "darling" of the British fight scene. At 5' 10" and 175lbs., Mills was noted for his hard-charging, straight ahead style of brawling. It took 6 years for him to break into the world rankings. But in 1942 at the height of World War II, he knocked out Len Harvey in 2 rounds to capture the British Commonwealth Light heavyweight Championship. He went on to win the European 175 pound title with a knockout over Pol Goffaux, and in 1948 defeated Gus Lesnevich to win the World Light heavyweight Boxing Championship. Mills boxing career and championship days were numbered however. Noted for a "fast" lifestyle of enjoying the night-life, he was finished at 31 years old and after losing his World Championship to Joey Maxim on January 24, 1950, he retired. Mills was extremely popular even in retirement and ran a highly successful nightclub. He also had character roles in a number of films and was a presenter on the early BBC TV music show, Six-Five Special (1957). He died of gunshot wounds on July 25, 1965 under a cloud of mystery. Although he had tax problems and the official verdict was suicide, many people believe he was murdered.
