I'm genuinely sad at this (so much so that I almost didn't go for the 'witty' header).

I was exactly the same over at RLLMUK. Where I did the exact same thing. With, um, almost the exact same header. He was an institution; a bit like the Queen except not rubbish.

This is deeply sad news. He had a pretty good innings, but still, we've lost a lot today. Such a relaxing voice too, always went well with washing up or lying in bed. I'm going to play some Humphrey Lyttleton in the music library tomorrow. :(

Shit! I knew he was in for an operation but I assumed it would be business as usual soon. Sadly I guess at his age you can't take these things for granted.

:( I saw him on telly recently and he didn't look well at all so it's no surprise but it's still a great loss.

To be honest he was a little wobbly when I saw ISIHAC a year or two ago, there was a lot more repeating of stuff than you'd realise from hearing the radio shows.

Still, he was doing pretty well for what was his 85th birthday.

They should inter him at Mornington Crescent.

Not a massive surprise, but still deeply upsetting. I was lucky enough to see a recording of ISIHAC last year, and am very pleased that I did. RIP Humph.

Best line so far comes from SA... "There is a silver lining to this, I hear Samantha likes a stiff"
