You'll be missed, Sir Chris.

Very sad news. What a wonderful life he must have had. A good innings too.

I don't believe it. A drop of blood and he'll be up and running again.

Hold your tongue! We're simple folk in these parts, and we want naught to do with your interfering in things best left alone.

And don't ask us about the garlic flowers over the windows, either. We're simple folk, you hear!

One of my favourite actors ever. His passing away makes me very sad. This was a shock because I expected him to be around... well, forever... like he has always been. But I could have seen it coming, my grandmother died last year at the same age.

The amazing thing about him is that he was one of the few actors who got better and better the older he got, which says something because he was pretty darn good in the first place. Most older actors seem to fall into tropes and become caricatures of themselves. He never did that.

He earned our respect already by volunteering to the Winter War.
