    A bit late this one as apparently he passed away in June.....

    i was away last week and i bumped into a QPR friend who told me that Gerry, the guvenor of the Crown & Sceptre passed away in June. I was shocked as I knew Gerry quite well. Other QPR forums carried info on it at the time but I know quite a few from here would have known him too. A heart attack apparently, not covid.

    I was completely shocked when I heard the news.

    RIP Gerry. Condolences to his family.

    Diana Rigg dies at 82.

    I find this really sad. Big fan of the Avengers as a kid - and I still watch them

    Dame Diana’s daughter, actress Rachael Stirling, said: “My Beloved Ma died peacefully in her sleep early this morning, at home, surrounded by family. She died of cancer diagnosed in March, and spent her last months joyfully reflecting on her extraordinary life, full of love, laughter and a deep pride in her profession. I will miss her beyond words”.

    RIP <rose>

    Why not Jeff ? Genuine question as there are some amazing, technical fighters out there that you’re missing out on.

    RIP Alan Minter. A real Legend

    Just don’t enjoy watching it, I did in 60/70’s with my Dad, build up is a farce & takes hours before the fight comes on & wouldn’t pay to watch it on sky either

    I get what you’re saying. Fair point. Come and see some amateur bouts. They can’t be very good

    Sorry to be so late with this - I did not know Alan Minter but I am devastated by the passing of Diana Rigg. I know the late Honor Blackman preceded her on the Avengers but Diana was, for me, the Avengers (with a tip of the "Maple" hat to Patrick Macnee of course). She will be missed

    Toots and the Maytals singer Toots Hibbert has died aged 77, the band have revealed.

    Earlier this month, Hibbert was hospitalised after testing positive for the coronavirus.

    “It is with the heaviest of hearts to announce that Frederick Nathaniel ‘Toots’ Hibbert passed away peacefully tonight, surrounded by his family at the University Hospital of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica,” the band’s Twitter account announced.

    “The family and management would like to thank the medical teams and professionals for their care and diligence, and ask that you respect their privacy during their time of grief.

    “Mr. Hibbert is survived by his wife of 39 years, Mrs. D, and his seven of eight children.”
