The Huge Influx of Passing Celebrities...

[Harbidge]

Am I the only person who's noticed the extraordinary amount of famous people who have died in the last year or two? Here's a list of the ones I can remember:

HRH Queen Mother,
HRH Princess Margaret,
George Harrison,
Dudley Moore,
Milton Berle,
Kenneth Wolstenholme,
Spike Milligan,
Harry Secombe,
Sir Donald Bradman,
Barry Took,
Billy Wilder,
Iran Eory,
John Thaw,
Waylon Jennings,
Barry Foster,
Bob Wooler,
Stratford Johns,
Peggy Lee,
Stanley Unwin,
Sir Nigel Hawthorne.

Some are known in the UK, but may not be in other places and vice versa. These are only the people I can think of/find. Are there any others?

I think they all just wanted to make it into the 21st century!
Once they did, they let go!
