Older famous people you dread passing on

[-:Undertaker:-]

Yeah the recent death of Lord Richard Attenborough aged 90 (who a lot of people confuse with his elderly brother too, David) and the current condition of Joan Rivers, 81, got me thinking - who are the famous people who are elderly you dread to find out have passed away?

I think some of mine would be Prince Phillip (93), the Queen (88), Dame Angela Lansbury (88), Ron Paul (79), Sir Christopher Lee (92) and probably a few others but I won't name them all. It's so sad seeing living legends/icons even when they're old passing on. Time is cruel.

Soon all we'll have left is the Kardashians... Grim.

You?

I said dread, not enjoy.

One I always struggle to get my head around is the Queen going. That'll be one huge huge moment in history, it's kinda unthinkable.

When Maggie Smith dies I'll be fairly upset.

The thing is a lot of the people who I idolise I don't even realise are still alive, and I only notice when the BBC app tells me they're alive! That was the case for Doris Lessing and Maya Angelou anyway.

I will legit cry my eyes out for ages when Debbie Harry goes.

Meryl streep (ik she's only 65) will be another sad one for me too.

I don't get sad at all when older, famous people die? I might be a bit shocked and disappointed that they passed away, but I don't understand why there were all those people literally sobbing over Robin Williams and things. Like, I enjoyed his work but I didn't know the guy. It would be weird for me to mourn the death of someone I didn't even know. What if they were really lovely on camera but secretly horrible to their family? I would never know that, and maybe I wouldn't have been as sad if I had known.

Maybe I'm just grumpy though
