George Alagiah Sadly Died
In the News
Sadly George alagiah has died from bowel cancer. Very sad. Must be hard for the news readers at the beeb to have announce it seeing as they all knew him.
Yes, I saw this last night and welled up as he seemed such a lovely guy. So so sad and makes you think, especially as he was younger than me. Thoughts with his family.
Sad when anyone dies but especially productive and the kind folk.I had a friend die young of bowel cancer..it's tragic.
MelissaLee1 yes you're right about those that are productive and kind. It's harder.
It's odd isn't it that never having met the man I felt like I had lost a friend, I was very sad when it was announced. I think many will feel the same.
Never heard of, but RIP.
And a soccer player at the age of 69 also died (of a heart attack). Dang, folks in their 60's is still a relatively young age to kick the bucket.
Seemed a very decent person. Definitely too young. Even years ago when I had a TV license I didn't watch much BBC news reporting I have to admit but I vaguely remember him but reading about him on the BBC website yesterday certainly seems to indicate he had a strong moral compass.
