Departed during 2021

#1 Post by ian16th » Fri Jan 01, 2021 12:30 pm

Just setting up the thread, so that it is ready.

Anyone up to running a book on who will be the 1st notable/notorious person entered for 2021?

Note: This is not an invitation for y’all to start a wish list of your favourite political opponents!

I was about to start off on the wrong foot as it were, so I will just wish that this list is a lot, lot shorter this year...

RIP Sir Brian Urquhart
Sir Brian Urquhart, the British diplomat who played a role in the establishment of the United Nations, has died aged 101.

Urquhart was the second staff member hired by the UN following its founding in 1945 and worked as a principal adviser to five UN secretaries general in his 41-year career.

Urquhart’s son, Thomas, confirmed he died at his home in Tyringham, Massachusetts, on Saturday but did not provide a specific cause, the New York Times reported.

Born in Bridport, Dorset, Urquhart joined the army following the outbreak of the second world war, rising to the rank of major and participated in planning the airborne aspect of Operation Overlord.

After the war he served as a British member of the preparatory commission that established the UN framework.

At the UN he directed 13 peacekeeping operations, recruited 10,000 troops from 23 countries and instituted peacekeeping as one of the core tenets of the organisation.

Clearly she was in the wrong Bond movie then. You Only Live Twice would have been better.

Friend and "publicist" Mike Pingel should be given the old 'heave-ho' I think. I suspect he might be related to the Pingelheim's whose famous ancestor, Solly, was Jesus's publicist for a while back there around the time of that crucifixion fiasco!

Seriously, I hope that the good lady recovers from whatever ails her in order to tell us, like Mark Twain did, how "the news of my death is greatly exaggerated!"
