Lanterne Rouge Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Probably only someone known to the OTIBr`s down here in Devon & Cornwall but Ron Bendall former TSW & Westcountry TV presenter and weather man has passed away. Nice bloke was Ron, loved the South West. I met him many times at the Duke Of York in Iddesleigh and at various charity events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illy was also an Ashes winning captain in Auatralia and a very fine Chairman if Selectors for England. Very sad day for me. RIP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A passionate voice against inequality and injustice who always came across as warm, good-humoured and considerate in interviews plus someone who really set an example for a version of Christianity based on love, compassion and respect for everyone rather than judgement or intolerance. He was an absolute towering figure of the last century and is as admirable and impressive a public figure as any I can think of in the course of his lifetime.

Indeed, and also warmly, infectuously even, mischievous - who could not be touched by his chuckle/laugh? Apparently, some years ago in San Francisco, he was approached by an elderly woman who greeted him with a gushing: 'Welcome to America Archbishop Mandela' His comments when recollecting the incident: 'So, a sort of two for the price of one, then'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 She did huge amounts for some great bands starting out - New Order, The Smiths and the Bunnymen to name but three. She was always willing to play demos and stuff if she thought they were any good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
