RIP Dame Patricia Routledge

Sad news broke this afternoon that Dame Patricia Routledge has passed away at the incredible age of 96! She had a truly amazing career which spanned across stage and screen, probably most well known and loved for her part as Hyacinth Bucket in BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances.

I was very fortunate to spend an evening in her company back in 2016 when she did a show at The Customs House in South Shields, where she talked about her life and career in a very intimate and lovely interview (read here). Rest in Peace Patricia ❤️

Brilliant to see four women who have achieved so much given the opportunity to get together all now over eighty years old!

Dame Julie Walters

Julie Walters is a much loved British actress and this week she was awarded with the highest honour and became a Dame, presented with the award by the Queen. She was then serenaded in the best way possible by the cast on set of Mamma Mia 2 . . . Because there is nothing like a dame!

Dame Angela Lansbury

In the last couple of weeks British actress Angela Lansbury became a Dame and met up with the Queen to receive that honour. Such a fantastic achievement for one of Britain’s most famous actresses, who is currently back in the West End at the moment after a very long absence. I am hoping to head down to London sometime next month to see her on stage!
