The Dead Thread

[Groucho]

Just seen the tribute on BBC North West, he seemed like a lovely guy, sad news.

He’d been in the RAF apparently.

Seemed like a nice man.

Lucy's doing an excellent job here. Very sad indeed.

Choked me up when she started blubbing at the end,

Can’t be many many in telly as well liked as Tony

Granada Reports won't be the same without his bubbly personality. Lucy done great to hold it together till the end, had to leave room in case it got me going. R.I.P. Tony

That was a great tribute to Tony on Granada Reports tonight. 17 years is a long time, pretty much half of my life I grew up watching him on the TV just became part of your daily routine. Seemed like a really nice down to earth fella. Fair play to Lucy for somehow keeping herself together for most of that. RIP.

Didn't make the news down here but the missus just saw a link on Facebook. Came on here to see what's happening and it's heart warming to see so many tributes. Tragic news. Was without doubt a lovely man.

Respect to Lucy too. Held it together like a true blue.

....former SDLP leader and Nobel Prize winner, John Hume has died aged 83.

Perhaps not as well known over there but a genuine Peace Maker who helped create a better society for us all in Ireland.

The Dalai Lama wrote a personal letter to the bereaved Pat Hume. That really says it all.

He was head and shoulders above the tat that passes for politicians nowadays. He set up the credit union movement back in the sixties and was to the forefront of the civil rights marches in the late sixties. He was definitely a modern day hero.

A Socialist icon, looked after local people first with the Credit Union, Civil rights and then looked at the National picture. I didn’t always agree with everything he said but by God he made a difference to Ireland.

@davek I have you down as an admirer of Hume’s career?
