I'll start my list by remembering Prince Philip. We have a signed photo of him somewhere; my late Father-in-Law and Philip met 'officially' on various occasions, and the obligatory souvenir was handed over. Philip spent a long and dutiful life supporting H M The Queen, and my Father-in-Law always said what a good man he was. I must find the photo and display it somewhere discreetly. He has left a huge void at the head of The Royal Family.
In the world of music we lost Charlie Watts, Gerry Marsden, and the strange Phil Spector.
Actors who left us included Christopher Plummer, Sir Antony Cher, and the lovely Una Stubbs.
In F1 motor racing we lost Frank Williams and Murray Walker. From politics we tragically lost David Amess MP, and from the world of cheap computers and silly one-man vehicles we said goodbye to Sir Clive Sinclair.
The annual covey of US 'rappers' were murdered, but this 'tradition' is almost expected.
I would also like to include the names of poor 16 month old Star Hobson, and 6 year old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, whose murders horrified a whole nation.
To them, and especially all those who have fallen to the pandemic, I say 'Rest in Peace'.

I always like Prince Philip. I did not know Una Stubbs had died. More recently, Betty White passed away on New Year's Eve I believe. She was one of "The Golden Girls", perhaps you have heard of the TV series?
I just this minute read about Betty White. I've missed-out lots who should be in my list, but I do that every year!
RIP to them all . Betty White was marvellous . Full of life.
Beautiful day here. Finally warm and dry. A good start to the year.
Lovely red sky here this morning; maybe buildings are still on fire from all last night's fireworks!
Betty White died yesterday, and half my country is in mourning. We loved her so.
Yes, I read about her in this morning's paper. The Golden Girls was genuinely funny, and her character one of the best.
I was especially sad about Una Stubbs. Her books taught me how to embroider and were a delight to read. A lovely lady.
We all fell in love with her in 'Summer Holiday', with Cliff Richard.
I missed the death of Sir Clive Sinclair: I think his Spectrum started many careers in computing.
Absolutely. Then came Alan Sugar with his Amstrad computers, and the rest is history.
A reminder Cro that everyone is mortal. Happy New Year to you all,
The BBC have usually made an evocative film for the news channel remembering those lost each year, but there doesn't seem to have been one for 2021.
Rest in peace.
Thank you. You can count of Cro for births, deaths, and marriages.
Maybe they'll simply reproduce the above in The Radio Times this year.
So say we all.
