      Very sad.

      When I saw this I thought it may be Brucie, who had fall this week. Hopefully he will live to see a good few more years yet, although he is a lot older than these 2 men,

        How sad. I read Geoffrey Howe has just passed away at 88. A good long life and must have been an interesting one at that!

          Indeed. And only shortly after Denis Heaky died. Remembering the 'dead sheep' comment I have a happy image of Denis singing 'Sheep may safely graze' as he welcomes Howe through the pearly gates.

            Seems like only yesterday we were watching Gordon Honeycombe - hard to believe he was that age too. Geoffrey Howe is such a memorable politician and I still remember listening to "that speech" live which was such a shock to everyone in The House. Denis Healey once said that being attacked by Geoffrey Howe was like being savaged by a dead sheep. However, he certainly packed a punch on that day and his statement was considered to be the beginning of the end for Margaret Thatcher. He was a however mostly a very nice, kind and polite man the like of which we do not see much in politics today.
