Farewell Frank Thornton, his fame preserved
though never pickled in "Are You Being Served?"
With his air of knowing just what to do
one that all wished queer things to happen to

Farewell Richard Griffiths,actor
Pie In the Sky, Harry Potter...he was the XXL factor
From Shakespeare to cookie-comic-character role
a roundest peg in each of the very roundest hole

Farewell to much beloved Milo O'Shea
A perennial Bloom, beneath dark brows two sparklers at play
He gave pleasure to many, to Jane Fonda as Durand Durand
a joy to watch and at the piano...grand

So, Margaret Thatcher must have been real, for now she is no more
the scourge of folk that were low, she'll now become folk-lore
"Don't go abroad in the night, for Thatcher will surely do you harm!"
Let's hope that in common with all elderly ladies yet alive, she has found herself somewhere warm.

Farewell, actress and singer, Deanna Durbin
the perpetual girlishness she found disturbin'
as a child star she would go far, she held audiences in a trance
third time lucky in love, she lived out the quiet life in France

Farewell David Lister, geek
over mountains, across valleys at last he himself has folded, so to speak
to the marriage of time and tactility he brought polygamy
by broadening and deepening all things Origami

A fond farewell to Ray Harryhausen, the lord of stop-motion animations
enthralled more children than any other, an inspiration to generations
himself inspired by Willis O'Brien's creation, King Kong
before there were computers he could do no wrong

Hoo-Ray Harryhausen, King of a wild frontier
from a time when mythical monsters were all that a child should fear
skeletons that sprang, full grown, from the Hydra's teeth
"All that can be imagined can have life!", did he to we bequeath

The crowd at the Dover v Eastleigh gave Derek a minutes applause which I am sure his family will have have appreciated.
