I have just heard the news and you're right David, it hit me hard. She really was something special. I suppose 91 is a good age but you are never really ready to go! She gave a lot of people pleasure and at least one young man an experience that he has never forgotten.

Sir Mark Tully (Tully Sahib) has died aged 90.

Quite a unique long time foreign correspondent for the BBC.

RIP.

And that's not overstating the story of his life. I have been listening to him for years and what always impressed me is that he was a friend of India.....

John Virgo the snooker champion and commentator has died in Spain aged 79.

It's only a few days since we heard his insightful catchphrase live in air "where's the cue ball going?"

"His last commentary for the BBC came 17 days ago when Kyren Wilson beat John Higgins in the Masters final".


RIP.

I knew about John Virgo but not Tzu Minh.... 79 years for Virgo isn't a big age nowadays..... (You get to doing comparisons eventually.... :extrawink: )
