Rock on Bobby RIP <rose><rose>
 
World Cup-winning England midfielder Nobby Stiles has died aged 78 after a long illness.
The former Manchester United player had prostate cancer and advanced dementia.
Stiles is the seventh member of the England team that started the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany to die, after captain Bobby Moore, Alan Ball, Ray Wilson, Gordon Banks, Martin Peters and Jack Charlton.
Manchester-born Stiles was made an MBE in 2000.

RIP Nobby <rose><rose>
 
Actor Geoffrey Palmer, known for his roles in such sitcoms as Butterflies, As Time Goes By and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, has died aged 93.
He died peacefully at home, his agent said.
Versatile and prolific, he was known and loved for his hangdog expression, lugubrious delivery and the often testy demeanour he gave to his characters.
As Time Goes By saw him star with Dame Judi Dench, a partnership they revived in Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.
He also acted in Mrs Brown, again with Dench, and The Madness of King George.

Dry sense of humour.Great talent.
RIP Geoffrey<rose><rose>

Never got the credit he deserved. I have a filthy sense of humour but never missed an episode of Butterflies partly because of the humour brought about by his personality clashes with all of the other characters and partly because I fancied Wendy Craig.

Not forgetting Reggie Perrin - he was great in that too. 'Bit of a cock-up on the catering front! <laugh>
