I met George Lazenby who also had a healthy queue, none of the girls had any kind of queue to speak of. But Richard Kiel's queue was as immense as he was.
Yes, ok, I was also a little bit scared.
Iconic is the word.
RIP.
I may have had more moderate unionist views (UUP) but I still regard him as the peacemaker who delivered a better settlement than bombs and guns could offer the people of Northern Ireland. I too extend my condolences to his wife and family at this difficult time.
But I especially want to reply to @BAIN123: At 93, it would not be easy for your grandfather to come back from pneumonia, but it is good he is in the hospital being cared for, and people at that age can recover. It is just so difficult to face the decline and passing of our family and loved ones, no matter their age. It is good you recently visited him. I will keep him, and your family, in my prayers and thoughts.
Difficult for me to comment on his legacy only ever having very minor and peripheral experiences of the troubles but like him or loathe him at least no one could ever accuse Ian Paisley of not standing for something.
Like Enoch Powell, Tony Benn and Thatcher herself his passing should be mourned because this country has lost another politician who had the guts to say unpopular things rather than the vapid suitfuls of emptiness who have their opinions dictated to them by Twitter we are stuck with now.

I wish you and your family loads of strength in this trying times and offer my condolences.
Amen to that my friend. If there is one thing I respect about politicians of the older eras is that they were men of principle and idea. There was a difference then, but there isn't now, just shades of the same colour (although it has got better over the last couple of years with Labour's leftward swing). Even as a vehement Socialist, I could always respect people like Powell, Maudling, Butler etc. They had ideas and courage, but they also had understanding. Most of them had experienced war first hand, and for that they deserve our respect irrespective of their politics. Today's lot just need to take note of three words. Ideas, Principle and Courage. Another thing that lacks in politics is character. Denis Healey was a character, Benn was a character, as was Thatcher and Powell, not like Cameron, Clegg or Miliband.
Here is a photo of him and me in earlier days - one of my favourites.
I'll miss him terribly but I'll take comfort that he was ready to go by the end.
I hope you, your mother, and all of your family will find comfort during this difficult and emotional time.
I like that photo.
Take good care.
Well said on both counts. Ian Paisley was very much a conviction politician who stood up for what he believed in. He was not swayed by opinion polls as the cosy inhabitants of the Westminster village are these days. I long for the politicians of the old days...
