Everyone dies sooner or later, i can't believe i've reached the age of 53 after spending a long time on heroin, i'm clean now and have been for sometime other people live healthier lives and leave the game early, that's life
@@MarkSmith-er7feNo way, Mark. I find it quite shocking, actually. Years ago, whilst visiting a local cemetery where some relatives were buried, I came across the grave of a girl in my year at school who died of a fatal asthma attack. She was just nine months older than me and seeing the gravestone brought it home to me with considerable force. The event itself happened 21 years earlier, in 1985. So my previous remark was made with this in mind!!!
Congratulations! Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to God except through Me (John 14:6). Jesus wants you to to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Only by repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus to guide your life are you spiritually safe for all eternity. I encourage you to prayerfully read The Holy Bible. @@geemonster9179
Well, that was genuinely heart rending. A bit like when you hear an old school friend has passed away. Which is exactly how it is - in a way we all went to Grange Hill.
During my time at senior school, a girl in my year died of a fatal asthma attack. It was 1985 and I was just fifteen - the girl in question was only nine months older than me. I found out because an old relative told me during the school holidays. Incidentally, I am asthmatic and now fifty one!
Will always miss the autumn winter days coming home from school passing the shop with the standard firework guy fawks poster thinking Grange hills on soon 😪
Grange Hill was the best tv show for kids back in the 70s and 80s.they never show like that for kids now.our childmood memories,we like to say thank you. RIP XXXXXXXXX
Terry Sue Pat was a local guy in Leyton, East London. I used to see him all the time, and the last time was at a festival in Walthamstow where the Brand New Heavies headlined. He was such a nice guy, so personable and was very knowledgeable about acting. Used to quote Shakespeare and all sorts of things. He is really missed.
I'm so glad people take the time to post things like this. It's very much appreciated. Do the cast members understand how much of a statement they were of those times. I hope they do. I feel even more closer to them than my own REAL classmates at school now.
omg didn't know Benny passed away he was one of my favourite characters when I was a kid, like Benny we had no money and relied on free school meals and hand me downs RIP Benny nice touching memorial post well done
A most beautifully done tribute. I would regard the deaths of Laura Sadler and Terry Sue-Patt as the saddest, out of all the Grange Hill characters that are sadly no longer with us
So very sad, but an incredible piece of music. Emotional. Back in the days when you'd make sure you where sitting in front of the TV, when Grange Hill was on. No recording, no repeats, no mobile phones, no RUclips, just a better time...
GH was the highlight of our childhood TV, sad to see the passing away of the younger actors. Could you do the video with dates and causes of death, not for morbid reasons , more a understanding of there sad loss.
Ok, THAT is just genuinely weird!! This video just appeared in my recommended section and the thumbnail of Joann Kenny reminded me of a dream I had last night in which I met her and started chatting with her on a train!! In the dream, I knew she was the Grange Hill actress, but didn't mention it, and I remember she was really nice and very easy to talk to! Her character was in the same year as me in school when I used to watch it in the late 80s. I'd no idea she'd passed away. RIP Joann. It was nice chatting with you!
@Steve Rose well said little big man I guess someone like yourself doesn't dream when you don't have a brain and just a bag of cotton wool between your ears as a brain🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂👍
Remember as a kid growing up with Grange Hill growing up in northern Ireland best thing we had. I can remember bumping into faye lucas when we was in the lakeside shopping centre in England made my Yr so it did.
@@snapdragogon69 Had another dig around, a few commentng on here are refering to multiple organ failue following alcoholic poisoning; whether that is right I cannot confirm. ruclips.net/video/CDMRzldiJSY/видео.html
Only just finished watching the 2 DVD (Series 1,2,3,4) releases of Grange Hill recently. Wanted to watch the episodes I didn't see the first time around. I started watching in 1984 until probably 1990. Didn't realize so many of those faces I've just seen are no longer with us. RIP x
Just found this tonight while searching for some Grange Hill stuff!.... cant believe some of the losses, i didnt realize Denzil Kilvington had left us or Lucinda Gane, Joann Kenny, Adam Ray as well! so sad!! :(
Yeah Denzil was my brothers friend. He died in 2000 i think. Such a shame. I remember him coming round to ours when i was little (him and my brother are a lot older than me but i do remember him) and every now ad then i catch a glimpse of him in something i might not have seen him in before. Ill always remember him for the woodpecker cider advert though. So funny..
Joann & Laura’s passings certainly hit me. Looking at all that Joann did in her career (including a Sindy ad in 1981 and she did a couple of music videos for Mobiles (Drowning in Berlin) and OMD (Genetic Engineering) she was just amazing and of course she did Curse of Fenric (Doctor Who). Michael Sheard was in his late 60’s when he died. RIP to all these wonderful souls.
Nostalgia definition: a feeling of pleasure and also slight sadness when you think about things that happened in the past: Some people feel nostalgia for their schooldays. Hearing that song again filled him with nostalgia. a wave (= sudden strong feeling) of nostalgia
Although still sad, it is less surprising that the actors & actresses who played teachers back then are no longer with us. It was around 40 years ago or so that they were on TV, which could have made them in their 70s or older by now.
Oh how I miss watching Grange Hill it was such a brilliant programme and they don't make them like that anymore which is a great shame. I never missed an episode once I got into watching it. I can remember Mr Bronson that's how old I am! I used to find myself worrying about certain characters and they had such brilliant and very talented actresses and actors. It was sad to see my all time favourite Grange Hill star Laura Sadler who was also in Holby City and a film called Intimate Relations with Julie Walters and Rupert Graves. Laura and I were basically pen pals, I would write to her and she would write back saying what she liked about the shows she was in. I used to watch her on Grange Hill and think she was going to be a big star she had that extra something about her. She was a wonderful actress, very kind and very funny too. I got invited to a special do they did for her after she died where there was lots of famous people there who knew her. It was in a theatre (there was a few from Grange Hill there) and they showed film footage of Laura and they shared stories about her. She was an awesome young lady gone far too young xxx
Just recently read up on IMDB, Sadly, Chris Crookall, who played Andy Turner in series 26-30 passed away October last year. RIP and thoughts and prayers for his family and friends 🙏
It’s lovely, and bittersweet to look back at our memories. We have all gained and lost, but we carry on and shine our light, as those before us did, even in the darkest days.
Joann KENNY really? My era, and i always had a crush on her. She went to drama school and was interviewed by the gorgeous Jenny Powell on her tour of the school for a Sat morning kids TV show back in the 80s. She did ballet and all sorts. Very sad news.
@@therespectedlex9794 No that gypsy travelling girl you reffered to was Helen McDonagh who played Mary in series 16 in 1993 youre probably thinking of!.
@@therespectedlex9794 She played Jane Bishop in the same year group as Calley, Ronnie, Gonch and Trevor Cleaver to name a few. She was in Grange Hill between 1985 and 1988. She also featured in the music videos Genetic Engineering by OMD, Drowning in Berlin by Mobiles and Real Men by Joe Jackson. She was also in the Doctor Who story Curse of Fenric.
Wow! So sad. It's kind of hard to leave a like but it's a very moving tribute & that's why I left one. I can understand with some of those who were getting on a bit at the time but the chap who played Cathy Hargreaves brother & the girl who played Jane Bishop! Really?! May they all rest in peace.
Mr. McGuffy was my favourite teech in Grange Hill, he was young and a bit hippyish and the kids affectionately called him 'Scruffy McGuffy'. Eventually the headmistress told him to spruce himself up a bit and he seemed to goodnaturedly comply..:)
“Death” Sue-Patt's death was announced on Twitter and his Facebook profile on 22 May 2015. Scotland Yard confirmed that officers had forced entry into a flat in Walthamstow after concerns were raised about the welfare of the occupant; however, the death was not treated as suspicious. It was reported that Sue-Patt may have died up to a month before his body was discovered.
This was very moving, especially the "pupils" who have left us. Michael Sheard was great, I didn't recognise Mark farmer, who later played "Justin" in several episodes of Minder.
Very sad to see so many have died, where most of those who played the teachers, especialy the senior ones would have been a fair age, It's quite shocking to see the number who must have passed relatively young.
For all us GH fans born in the 60/70's, always sad to see our childhood memories brought back to this reality.
Yes, I was born in 1970 and a shock to realise that some of one's contemporaries succumb to an early demise!

Some of them must have died quite young. It was a big part of my childhood. 😢
So true. Sometimes I find it quite painful and sigh l, some look back and laugh at those days.
Yep, hadn’t thought about it that way, but you expressed it so well. We all did go to Grange Hill.

Michael Sheard as Mr Bronson was brilliant. Sheard was a fantastic character actor.
Herr Grunwald
Lovely fellow, he stayed over at my place once when he made a trip up to visit my local Doctor Who fan group.
Yes a brilliant actor, Star Wars,Indiana Jones and Auf Weidersehn Pet to name a few.
Yes, Mr. Sheard was a wonderful actor. May he rest in peace.
as a character and the way played out on a par with both mrs fergusons from cell block h and wentworth :)

Mr Bronson.....the most memorable teacher from the good old days of Grange Hill. 😥
Better times in the 80s☺God Bless Them All❤
What a memorable cast. It made me sad that some died way too young. Rest in Peace, and thank you for giving us such a wonderful TV series.
I'm so glad people take the time to post things like this. It's very much appreciated. Do the cast members understand how much of a statement they were of those times. I hope they do. I feel even more closer to them than my own REAL classmates at school now.
Heartbreaking losing old friends. Great memories. RIP.

mooney the loony. i had a crush on miss summers.
Thanks for this moving tribute. It's like a reminder to enjoy life while we still have it. Best wishes.
