Acclaimed chimpanzee expert and conservationist Dame Jane Goodall, who revolutionised the world’s understanding of animal behaviour, has died aged 91. The much-loved zoologist, primatologist and anthropologist championed chimpanzee protection for more than six decades, also becoming a tireless advocate of the wider natural world and the environment. As well as establishing the Jane Goodall Institutes to promote wildlife and environment conservation, she founded an environmental and humanitarian programme called Roots & Shoots, wrote books on chimps and conservation, and became the subject of more than 40 films and documentaries.
Two victims dead in Manchester synagogue attack. Occurred at 9.30 this morning in the Heaton Park area. RIP...
He used to be a regular in a boozer on Charlton Park Rd; I used to see him when we visited brother in law and his wife - the pub wasn't flash and neither was he, just a guy who drank with his mates of years. RIP Mickey!
RIP The two men killed in the attack on a synagogue in Manchester have been named as 53-year-old Adrian Daulby and 66-year-old Melvin Cravitz
One of my schools is a couple of minutes away from the Synagogue. It will be heartbreaking for the whole area.
Dame Patricia Routledge,96. I will leave it to someone else to make the obvious quip. A fine actress.
Chris Dreja, original rhythm guitarist and then bassist for The Yarbirds, has died aged 79. After The Yarbirds split, he turned down the offer of being bassist in new band (to pursue a career in photography), that band became Led Zeppelin.
Back in the early 1960s Yardbirds were one of my favourite bands. Really good documentary about them on TV a couple of weeks ago.
