Sir Patrick Moore R.I.P

[Kieran76]

One of The Great Britons has just died. He was 89 and a legend. Loved The Sky at Night and also his anti-blood sport campaigning. Will be sadly missed.

Grim news indeed. He had a knighthood, and lived to 89, and he'll be remembered, so he didn't do too badly. Still, another piece of childhood is sucked away.

[nakamura]

Always a fan. I just hope the media don't go digging around looking for **** on him.

[Dogg Thang]

Very sad to hear about this. What an inspiration for many generations of astronomers.

[Adrock]

Screw the astronomers, gamers are more important!

I still watch Sky at Night when I can, brilliant show even to this day. Sad to hear about his death.

[gambit6613]

Yep very sad news when i saw this at lunch time. So sad that i only saw him on Sky At Night last week and he will never do another. Truly a brilliant and inspirational Astronomer.

Sad to hear this. An intelligent, articulate gentleman who was a real star.

Game Over for the GamesMaster.

Rest in peace Sir Patrick.

My fondest memories will be his curt responses to people stuck on Zelda: Link to the Past.

A real shame, I've got the latest episode of Sky at Night to watch on my Sky+ box, it'll be a different feeling watching that now.

Possibly should go in the irk thread, but if I see one more person on Twitter talk about the death of "astrologer" Partick Moore.....

[Skull Commander]

It's alright. He has an infinite lives code!

[yesteryeargames]

Nooooooo. . =,( What a true gentleman and legend his was , This news brought a tear to my eye, RIP gamesmaster

[MisterBubbles]

A legend, will be missed by astronomy and the gaming community and his xylophone playing, RIP Sir Patrick Moore, there a new star in the heaven's tonight.

[MartyG]

Aye real shame, it's difficult to see anyone being able to fill the presenter role on the Sky at Night in quite the same way. Still, he had a good innings.

[BIG EDD]

Absolute gentleman and legendary broadcaster definitely going to be missed for his inspirational writing and knowledge
