The word 'Iconic' is probably well overused these days but his voice roles as Darth Vadar and Mufasa most definitely were.

Can't forget this from Field of Dreams either.

Toto Shillaci aged only 59 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqlvrp4nylwo

He came from obscurity, flickered so brightly in the 1990 World Cup then faded back to obscurity just as quickly, The epitome of a relative journeyman living the dream of playing for your country in the World Cup

RIP Lord Prescott.
A political "doer" and staunch Labour supporter. One of his "successes" was the approval to develop DSA even though he said another airport in that region wasn't required.

He came from a v simple background and ended up in a top government office, but not forgetting his routes.

the former Premier League referee Uriah Rennie, the 1st black referee in the League and the only one there was for 15 years,

He always looked supremely fit and had a presence that caused respect (his black belt in a martial art may also have helped!) Latterly paralysed due to a medical condition but had started to learn to walk again. it's just unfortunate that he never got a chance to shine following his recent appointment as Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University.

Rest in peace to footballing brothers Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, tragically cut off in the prime of life by a car accident. Diogo was just 28 and had a wife and three children.

Liverpool and Wolves are in mourning today. as a Manchester United fan myself, I hope the entire community of football fans sets aside their rivalries and pays their respects.
