Cheers, Tim! A marvellous man - a marvellous actor, husband, father, friend. On stage, on screen, on a canal boat, on the end of a pier (he loved a seaside pier!), in the garden with a glass of wine, he was just the best. He has died at 90: what a worthwhile, well-filled life.

As a Parliamentary bill on assisted suicide is set to be introduced this Wednesday, 16 October, @CardinalNichols has urged all Catholics to take action in opposing this dangerous legislation.
Life is a gift from our Creator, and every person’s dignity comes from being made in God's image. Even in suffering, that dignity remains intact.
