Default Death of Christopher Lloyd

Christopher Lloyd has died in hospital in Hastings, East Sussex on
Friday.
He had a stroke after surgery on his leg,


A real one off, very sad to see him go. One of the best tales I heard
about him was when somebody was proposing a vote of thanks to him
after one of his talks. They referred to him as one of gardening's
great luminaries. He *thought* he heard 'great loonies' and was said
to have been quite put out when he understood he'd been called a
luminary and not a loony.
