Another famous person gone

[Mups]

I heard tonight on the news that sadly,  Esther Rantzen has just died.   
Stage 4 lung cancer.    She was 86.
Poor woman.   RIP Esther.

She did a lot of good.  RIP

She was one of the people who campaigned for the legalisation of assisted dying. Poor lady I can understand why.
RIP.

Exactly.  Plus her work on childline etc.

It was largely down to her that assisted dying bill nearly got through parliament.  Sadly, she was clearly too ill to push the point a few weeks ago when the MP's bottled out of it.

I always remember Esther in this clip
It was one of the most memorable moments of her career on "That's Life "

RIP. 

I think I read that she was too unwell for the trip to Switzerland a few weeks ago.

A prominent Jewish figure who helped many people.  She'll always be remembered for setting up Childline which is still going today.  RIP Esther

Yes,  and didn't she do  Silver Line for us oldies too?

Wonderful lady ... she always seemed to have an effortless charm and elegance about her.

I remember her days on That's Life ... that was a good programme.
Shame she became too ill to actually have the kind of dignified closure on this life that she wanted.
Some celebrity figure are deserving of the title.
She was one of them.

RIP Esther.
