    I was very sad when I heard about the death of Richard "Jaws" Kiel. Great role, one of the most memorable...
    I'm also very sorry to hear about your grandfather @BAIN123. I wish you and your family all the best. My he rest in peace. My grandfather died in January. I was also really sad but I think now it's better for him and he doesn't have to suffer any more.

    My thoughts go out to the next victim of the IS: Steven Sotloff.

    Killing for political reasons under the mask of religious pride. Welcome to the 21st Century.

    Okay. I'll say this now, and I mean it, and I can but hope there there will not be more names to add ...
    Deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of:
    James Foley
    Steven Sotloff
    David Haines
    All 3 murdered by Islamic terrorists, with videos given to the world as proof

    And to all the countless others who have had loved ones slain by this horrific group of terrorists.

    I also give my prayers, thoughts, and support to all people fleeing from, and those who are currently captured by, this shameful and despicable group. By whatever name they go by, or whatever name others call them, their actions cannot be condoned and they must be stopped.

    It's a shame that the barbarism that is IS does not represent the mass of the Muslim community, who are peaceful, tolerant and kind. The name of Islam continues to be tarnished by these animals. I don't agree with Islam, but their people are kind and I respect their choice of religion, but these monsters just tarnish their fellow brethren.

    I know and I agree, Sammm04.
    I did not want to turn this into a religious discussion. But they are doing these evil things in the name of a religion. I prefer to simply call them murderous evil terrorists.

    I am tempted to wade in here but this not the place to do it. Let's keep this a place of respect for the deceased and a religion free zone.

    Yes, I would rather keep religion out of this thread.

    Me too, but I'm just expressing my sadness with the whole situation. Not debating or trying to rile people up.

    I understand that, and I took your post that way, Sammm04.

    Thanks again everybody :) Going to his house this morning as my aunt is staying there and we have an early appointment at a local directors to talk about funeral arrangements.

    Have already been to his house once so am more at ease this time.

    Neil Hamilton is iconic. When I think of police commissioners, I think of his Commissioner Gordon, a model civil servant, devoted to safeguarding his city from the criminal element...and a loyal friend of the bat.

    Sad news. I was not aware that Leslie Charteris' wife was still alive. I heard his brother on BBC Radio 4 in 2007 for Leslie Charteris' Centenary but I don't know if he is still alive.

    I was deeply touched by your blog, @BAIN123. Your granddad's OBE is something you can be proud of, among no doubt so much more.

    May he rest in peace.

    On September 12th 2014 a truly towering figure all throughout my life passed away – my grandfather William McCrorie (OBE).

    Moving tribute! An OBE, that's impressive!
    Bond fans should have no trouble relating to that honor.

    Sad news to report Bond fans as Geoffrey Holder, as we all known as Baron Samedi has passed away from pneumonia complications. He was 84. He will always be one of my favourite henchman.

    Incredible career he had. A life well lived by the sounds of it.

    Indeed, of all the characters in LALD, he was the best. And from his biography, I gather that he was one heck of a man as well. He'll be missed.

    Very sad news indeed. I just wish he'd posed more of a threat to Bond as he looked totally badass. He was perfect in the role and managed that rare distinction for a Bond villain of not being killed off.
