I've had the Platinum Jubilee pageant on in the background and noticed Cliff Richard was signing and dancing around. He appears to be in impressive shape for his age. Hard to believe he's 81 and it could well be a while before he makes an official entry into this thread. Well done to him, I say!

Rod Stewart looked in worse shape yesterday, and I actually thought Joan Collins was a plastic mannequin!

He was a stalwarth in many John Ford westerns - often appearing alongside John Wayne. Who did he play in The Wizard of Oz?

[Sheets Tabuer]

He just looked a lot like the lion,

i think the point was he looked a bit like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz.

He was in one of our favourite dramas of the nineties called "Queer as Folk", re watched it a couple of years back, still good, pinched the baby in its name for our youngest as well.

And John Devine used to play international football for Ireland. I thought I'd just throw that in.

John Devine is also one of the finest players of Uilleann pipes I've heard
