Everyone that meets Brian dies in the end. Same terrible effects as coming into contact with impure dihydrogen monoxide. |

this is absolutely terrible news. such an ray of light and comedy genius in an age of unfunny mainstream comedy.
He was ill a couple of years ago, and appeared to have been in remission.
Such a terrible shame.

I don't think I ever saw him doing stand-up, but I enjoyed him on the panel shows he did. He was very quick witted.

Sad news. And John Challis has sadly passed too, best known for playing Boycie in Only Fools and Horses. I grew up watching the show, this has come as a real shock. One of the all-time British comedy greats. RIP. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58617114 |

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. Her family gathered at her Scottish estate after concerns grew about her health earlier on Thursday. The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change. With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. "The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." All the Queen's children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision. Her grandson, Prince William, is also there, with his brother, Prince Harry, on his way. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61585886 |

I knew something was serious though, from the announcement this morning, and all the family rushing to be with her. Guess she must have taken a sudden turn for the worst in the last day or so. |

Though we all knew this was coming, the first announcement this morning was a shock as it was so clear that the end must be near. Still, when we heard that she had passed, I found myself immensely sad. She's been such a fixture on the world stage for my entire life. I can't even begin to imagine the sorrow my British friends must be feeling. She looked very frail at her meeting with your new Prime Minister, but no one expected she would be gone two days later. I agree with Brenski that the life drained out of her once Phillip was gone. She will be mourned by many around the world. RIP Queen Elizabeth.

unfortunately for everyone this is an essential appointment since we were born and, despite this, we hope it never arrives, especially to the ones we love.
the only way is to enjoy every moment of our journey, to love and have nothing to repent of; to find. happiness in every little thing.
I think that her majesty has given her entire life to her post and, with Phil, has lived a full life and has reached her goal serene, at least I hope so.
God bless the queen forever
