Mary Quant was ahead of her time.
She made it cool to be British. Her and the beat groups.

I’m not too familiar with this band, but 46 is too young.

Went to V Festival years ago and they were on. I’d never heard of them and they were one of the early bands, so not many people watching, but they were brilliant.

No age at all that, RIP.

Very sad, a hilariously ridiculous and entertaining man. Glad he got a little boost later in his career with some great voice acting roles.

RIP possum

I liked Barry Humphries cartoons of Barry McKenzie and his Aussie pals in Earls Court.
He didn't pull any punches.

One of the all time great comic characters.

Just watched him on an old Norton show. He was wearing an outfit from the 60's designed by Mary Quant. He said he hadn't had it altered in all these years and that his QUANT is the same size now lol lol

Dame Edna Everidge, Barry Humphries and Sir Les Patterson, all on the same day.
