Death is always sad, but that is a man who lived an incredible life.

That's just it, a 90yr old man who had been ill for some time has died.
Its sad for his family and friends & i offer my condolences, but the man lived a very successful life and won fame and plaudits for his talents.

His work will be watched for years to come and that is a form of immortality.

Thanks for the art Dickie.

I met Dickie once - well, I was a bike messenger in London, riding home on a Friday night and a Rolls Royce with RA 111 drove past and I thought 'Is that Dickie in the passenger seat?' Wearing a bow tie? (On his way to a Royal Variety Performance, I found out later...)

Being London traffic, it was soon stopped on the Strand and I rode up and thought 'It IS Dickie!', so I got out my messenger clipboard and tapped on the window. He wound it down and I said 'Excuse me, but could I get your autograph please?'
'Of course, dear boy!' he exclaimed and happily signed my grubby bit of paper. And then, being London traffic, I left them behind as I rode off.

Based on that one experience, I'd say he was a lovely, lovely, humble and cheerful man who appeared to have lived well.
RIP sir!

very sad

Director of what is (in my mind) the best war film ever made, always reminds me of Sunday afternoons growing up
