Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe dead at 74 – Serial killer who murdered 13 women dies from Covid
I've moved comments about Sutcliffe to a thread of their own, rather than risk disrespect to the others named.

John Hays, the pioneering founder of the UK’s largest independent travel agency, Hays Travel, has died after collapsing at the Sunderland headquarters of the company he created 40 years ago.
Wow. Shocking.
They're a massive part of the travel industry up here and very well respected.
RIP.
RIP Des
Not sure whether it’s right but rumour had it he first met Morecambe and Wise in Hull

Appeared on the Buddy Holly tour and first Beatles tour. Had a no 1 hit single, recorded 36 albums.
Appeared at the Palladium over 1,000 times. Not many will have careers like that.
Who can forget, if they are old enough, the DJ at Liverpool putting his hit Careless Hands on as the teams left the pitch at Anfield after Sprake had thrown the ball into his own net? Purely coincidental it was claimed.

WHEN Des O’Connor heard that Eric Morecambe had suffered a heart attack in the late Seventies he stopped the show he was appearing in and asked the entire audience to pray for him.
The recovering Eric later heard about the gesture and offered his thanks. “It was the prayers of those six or seven people that made all the difference,’’ he quipped.
