Nostalgia

(for the cricket buffs!)

John Arlott's farewell commentary was his stint for the BBC at Edgbaston during the John Player League game between Warwickshire and Somerset.
Here, he waves a final goodbye after his last broadcast.

Champion @Halbrowne61, and thanking dear Mrs Halbrowne61, I referred to that great source, Mrs Google and found this little snippet of info about Monsieur Mercury and his love of all things feline:

Freddie Mercury had at least 10 cats: during his life:

Named:
Dorothy
Tiffany - a blue point Persian cat with a refined nature
Tom
Jerry
Delilah - said to be Mercury's favorite cat
Goliath - a cat that once went missing, causing Mercury to throw a hibachi grill through a window
Lily
Miko
Oscar - a streetwise cat who knew how to navigate life with a rock star
Romeo

Mercury treated his cats like family, and they had the run of the house and grounds during the day. He would call them on the phone while he was on tour, and Mary or Phoebe would often hold the cats up to the phone so they could hear him. Mercury also made sure each cat had its own Christmas stocking filled with toys and treats
