Here is my dad’s Sean Connery joke:

“Q: What time does Sean Connery arrive at Wimbledon?

A: Sean Connery died on the 31st of October 2020 and is therefore unlikely to attend any future sporting events”.

David Niven as Cupid. Photographed IN MID AIR over a swimming pool - shorts, ridiculous hat and very little else, holding a bow and arrow and sporting the cheesiest of grins.

If this was a band I'd seen photos of in NME/Smash Hits when I was 14, I would have gone out and bought/stole their records the very next day without having to hear a single note.

John Prescott’s coffin has arrived at Hull Minster for his funeral. Appropriately, the hearse was a Jag, as is the family’s car.
