Gladys Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Sad, but he was a good age. He was controversial, but I had a sneaking admiration for his spade a spade attitude. I met him once as part of the DOEA, but that was a very long time ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why oh why is this being broadcast on all BBC stations? Think I'll tune into Manx Radio... Edited April 9, 2021 by GD4ELI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 End of an era. I respect the man. For all the gild he did live in a cage and his frustration did occasionally show but he was right for the role which does need the occasional naff off and racist remark to show they are human. The Queen will feel lonely tonight. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to a mannin line without wint, after listening to the songs on manx radio I have decided it best if I turn off, although deepy sorry for the loss to the Royal family there is only so much morbid music one can listen to.

Pipsqueak Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I imagine covid regs are getting a severe make over to permit the necessary persons into the country and increase the numbers permitted at a funeral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsmeee Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I would imagine in normal times he would have had a big state funeral. I wonder how they will play it now? Very sad for the family and a loss to the nation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Someone who came across as a real character, and who helped to hold a marriage together for 73 years. He will be sorely missed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
