Deepest condolences, Peter.

Mine headed back to the pavilion on 81 in October 2017. A far from easy time.

My thoughts are with you.

Thank you for all your thoughts, I consider my self fortunate to have had both parents until my 64th birthday I will miss my sundays analysing QPR's performance with my old dad, he could always find optimism in their performance no matter how bad it was, for the record he though we would be top six this season so £50 of my hard earned will be placed with one lucky bookie

Actor Rutger Hauer, who starred in 1982's Blade Runner, has died at the age of 75.
His agent confirmed the star died in the Netherlands on Friday after a short illness.
Hauer played the murderous replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner, which was directed by Ridley Scott and also starred Harrison Ford.
The actor's funeral was held on Wednesday.
Hauer's character gave a famous speech during a climatic face-off with Ford at the end of Blade Runner, dialogue which he helped write himself.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe," he is seen telling Ford. "Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Hauer is quoted as telling an interviewer his character - who had only a four year lifespan - wanted to "make his mark on existence".
"The replicant in the final scene, by dying," he said, "shows Deckard what a real man is made of."
Hauer was particularly well known for horror and vampire roles, starring as Van Helsing in Dracula 3D, and as the vampire Barlow in Salem's lot - a 2004 mini series of the Stephen King novel.

Hauer was born on 23 January 1944, in Breukelen, near Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.
In his youth, he joined the Dutch merchant navy but returned to Amsterdam in 1962. He briefly studied acting but then quit to join the army. He later returned to acting and got his major break in 1969 when he was cast in the title role of TV series Floris.
His performance in Blade Runner was by far his most famous role, but he continued acting right up until this year.
He has also appeared in the films Sin City, Batman Begins and the HBO series True Blood.
The Shape of Water director Guillermo del Toro led the tributes on Twitter, writing: "RIP the great Rutger Hauer: an intense, deep, genuine and magnetic actor that brought truth, power and beauty to his films."
