Desmond Davies, film director, 95.

His best known works probably being the original Clash of the Titans (1981), a film I watched at the local cinema with relish back in the day.

Hoping he knew he inspired generations after him. RIP

Unusual choice. Most people seem to choose popcorn.

Sad that one of the great Grecians John passed away today but good that the club recognised him at the start of the game and that Matt T chose to mention Di & him at start of his press conference today.
Grecian thoughts are all with Di but found this on facebook to illustrate some of the work they did.
RIP Grecian John

I spoke to Di before the match. Never said anything about John. Found out when Fullsy announced it.
RIP John.
