That’s twice today I’ve said YES! as if I’m watching a sporting match. First PH losing his security case and now this. (I’m not putting them in the same category before anyone starts).

:/

Maybe his family kept it back so they could have the funeral without any aggro and then come to terms with it themselves before the less than effusive obituaries get published.

I suspect that no announcement would have been made if the press hadn't found out about it.

Sky News say he died on the 10th May.

I think his family kept it quiet and had a quick funeral. I feel sorry for the undertakers and whoever had to do a funeral service.

Who’s PH?

To think he was once commissioned to paint a portrait of the late Queen..
I hope he rots in hell
I've only seen twenty minutes of the itv documentary about him and he was so clever how he got away with things :(
Evil vile individual.

The royals love a good nonce don't ya know.

the80sweregreat · 23/05/2023 14:54

The poster means Prince Harry and his security case at the high court.

Slutdrop · 23/05/2023 14:56

Keeping with the theme but slightly diversifying in a funny way, my son came downstairs this morning having a 'bad hair day' and I told him he looked like Gary Glitter in his hay day. He had to Google him. He's now not talking me 😂😂😂😂

the80sweregreat · 23/05/2023 14:58

GG is back in prison I read the other month.
All those presenters and singers of my youth mostly nonces :(

Cosmosforbreakfast · 23/05/2023 15:00

Surrounded by family and friends. WTAF? Who in their right minds has anything to do with a convicted paedophile?! Good riddance to him, hope he's roasting. I hope this can give some sort of comfort to his victims, the known and the probably very many more unknown. Rot in hell Rolf you disgusting sick twisted evil bd.

I'd thought Stuart Hall had died too. He's also 93. Depressing how some horrible people get to live so long. At least they've had a long time to live with the consequences.

... and the sooner the public stops putting celebrities on pedestals, rather than treating them as human beings with flaws, the better.

I can remember the idolising of Philip Schofield on here and then he 'came out' and that was that. Before then, golden balls.

Some of us already knew about the young runner on This Morning.

Best place for him. Or hell. Either would do.

LlynTegid · 23/05/2023 15:02

@TheKobayashiMaru I think you were probably correct. Indeed had any funeral been known about, I am sure someone would have disrupted it.

TrickorTreacle · 23/05/2023 15:06

A few people here including @OilyHomerfailed at their Google-Fu today.

He died nearly 2 weeks ago.

Beachywave · 23/05/2023 15:09

Mrsblobby12 · 23/05/2023 13:32

He was a very talented individual, it's such a shame he threw it all away.

Wtf.
He didn't "throw it all away", he targeted, attacked and molested innocent children and young women.

Mumto1boyo · 23/05/2023 15:10

Have some respect...he's just drawn his last breath. 😁
But seriously...rot in hell nonce.

HammersMomFootBall · 23/05/2023 15:14

I read online that mr Rolf Harris was building blown instruments similar to a didgeridoo while he was in prison. I think it is very interesting that mr Rolf Harris was allowed to build these devices while in a prison cell. Does anybody know if mr Rolf Harris wrote any letters while he was in prison?
I lost all of my respect for mr Rolf Harris when it finally became clear that the charges against him would stick, but I must admit I would be curious to know what if any correspondence he had with the outside world while he was (rightfully) incarcerated.
I hope that his soul can find peace.

HowcanIgetoutofthisalive · 23/05/2023 13:55

At this moment in time, 19% find the OP is being unreasonable. I wonder why they feel that? He was convicted. Of more than 1 sexual assault. Over years and years. ON CHILDREN.

wow.

Perhaps it’s because they feel his death is best ignored and nothing is to be gained from people posting on the thread. There are times when silence is golden.

I don't know why that was allowed either! You could panel someone with a didgeridoo, surely!

There was a recent photo on the DM showing a private ambulance outside his house. Private ambulances are used to move the deceased to a funeral parlour.

ThePoshUns · 23/05/2023 15:20

Hope he rots in hell

ReunitedThorns · 23/05/2023 15:23

I think today just reminds me of how awful the media is, they rightly show their open disgust at Rolf Harris, a convicted paedophile but for a different celebrity they celebrate "one of the most talented broadcasters of his generation" even knowing full well what he has done.

Essentially the media will love you until your criminal behaviour is made public, essentially aiding and abetting celebrities.

Mrsblobby12 · 23/05/2023 15:28

I know well what he did, it's a saying, calm down

I always thought Jimmy Savile was dodgy but I was shocked when Rolf Harris was exposed. He always came across as a good all round entertainer. Just shows you never know what some folk are really like. Good riddance hope he rots in hell

Agree. Saville always have me creeps even as a kid. I never understood his appeal.

Even into my adulthood Rolf Harris was a cuddly uncle type who shed a tear for injured puppies and gave the impression of being a warm kind caring man.

Its sad and sickening that so many kids were damaged by these vile predators who used their fame for evil
