Very sad indeed. I was just thinking about him too. A wonderful man, may he rest in peace. Xxxx

Yes I just saw it, very sad but so glad his family were able to be with him.

[Bevvy in reply to Hidden]

I agree but would like another legacy for him. Allow families to be with loved ones. I think it is absolutely barbaric that thousands of people are dying with no loved ones with them.

[Hidden in reply to Bevvy]

Yes sad but that would be out of our control and at the hospitals discretion, I know our local hospital has closed all doors to visitors to avoid further covid spread. Although I am sure some hospitals will make exception if it was known the patient was on borrowed time and I suspect a special room has to be set aside and family would have to quarantine afterward. I do know of a family that were unable to visit covid dying relatives in cornwall, very upsetting for the family.

I was watching the NASA spaceflight live channel, when it was announced on the bottom of the screen.

I too am pleased that his family was with him.

A wonderful man who had an amazing final year to his life with his fundraising, a knighthood from the Queen and a final holiday in the Bahamas (read that it was on his bucket list). He was part of a tough, quite humble generation, many of whom lived to a great age. I doubt that we will see the like again.May he rest in peace and his family be comforted by being with him at the end.

An inspiration to us all, what a gentleman. We must not let his inspiration fade. His saying "Things will get better". I will always remember him.

This is very sad news indeed. Thankfully his family were with him.

Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid are doing a lovely tribute to him at the moment .A real celebration of his life and who he was.
