I haven't read the thread so apologies if she's already there, but I recently looked up when Vera Lynn died and was surprised to find that she's still with us, aged 102.
She is unkillable, the nazi's and the 21st century couldn't do it

Been mentioned a few times and with great justification. No harm in mentioning her again Uboat.

You're too lenient, Soundasa£. Chirpy would have dished out a yellow card for repetition!

I know it's the practical thing to do, but I always get bad vibes when I cross someones name out in my address book after they die.
I'm sort of waiting for a thunderbolt or something, not sure what really, but it seems a bit disrespectful. It's like they've led this life and at the end they simply get scratched out. I get the same feeling when deleting names from modern devices.

I still have my mum's old landline number in my mobile from 12 years ago...
Way back when there used to be a programme called 'Tonight' on the BBC around the time, or slightly earlier, of 'The One Show' today.
Regular guests on Tonight were a Scottish Folk Duo called Robin Hall and Jimmy Macgregor and they were responsible for a famous song called 'Football Crazy' which is still played today.
West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, A Little Night Music and Sweeney Todd are just a selection of the many musicals he helped create over the years.

Robin Hall has been strumming away in the Studio In The Sky for some years but Jimmy Macgregor, born 10 March 1930, is happily still with us.
