Walter Cronkite is dead at 92. IMO, the last of a breed that we will never see again in our skills bereft, be-pretty-or-be-unemployed TV media.

Uncle Walter was a journalist first and a television personality second. His reporting carried a gravitas that cannot be denied. His reaction to the news of the successful moon landing was so incredibly human and honest that the image will never be erased from my mind.

Although he hadn't been seen regularly on TV for a couple of decades, he will be forever missed.

As was his reaction when announcing the death of President Kennedy.

RIP Mr Cronkite. You were the best.

Sir Bobby Robson has died today,at the age of 76.

In an age where British football is increasingly mercenary and petulant,he stood out for the old school where loyalty and dignity and sportmanship were qualities to be admired. The British game has lost one of its senior statesmen,and the northeast of England mourns the passing of one of their heroes.
