I posted this some weeks ago. This is my beloved aunt. She was diagnosed positive with Covid-19, this morning. She is only one of many thousands - I know - but if you could spare a thought for her and the team caring for her (or a prayer, if so inclined) I'd be grateful. Thanks.
My aunt is in care as she has Alzheimer’s. My mum usually visits her every day. The brilliant staff are doing everything they can to keep them in touch during lockdown. This really moved me (and they said I could share it). My thanks to the team in Coventry.

This is sad news - I loved Kelly Monteith, when I was a kid. He had a series buried away on BBC 2, midweek, mid-evening. A sort of a stand-up/sitcom cross-over before we had cross-overs.
Kelly Monteith has passed away! A few years ago I said in an interview that, along with Morecambe and Wise, Tommy Cooper and my father, he was one of my favourite comedians. He heard about it, got in contact and thanked me. It's sad that many won't know of him.
