What a dreadful way to end a life. His family will never get over it. I’d be destroyed if one of my sons did that. He must have had some serious mental health issues, poor soul.

I never watched the program but have been catching all the TV updates. Seemed a lovely genuine guy and a biker to boot!

I have to admit, that the name didn't ring a bell, but I have heard some of her songs and she was a great singer.

Aw poor creature, they are such beautiful birds with those big eyes. I passed a dead tawny owl this morning that had got hit at the roadside. I always feel a little bit sad to see dead wildlife yet never batted an eyelid when I was young.
