Goodbye Dame Esther

And silver line🙏💔

She was a force to be reckoned with, someone who got things done and improved the lives of many through her initiatives.

RIP Dame Esther

My memory of her was when she introduced the children Sir Nicholas Winton saved
My daughter volunteered for Childline and it set her on the path to her current social work role!
Esther was a force to be reckoned with and will be missed

A great woman who lived her life well. I have no interest in gossip.

What is silver line? Is it for old uns?

What is silver line? Is it for old uns?

It's a phone line run by Age UK to help combat loneliness in over 55s.

Probably best to clothe it all in a shroud of mystery.
There is a lot underneath the surface that can’t be said today.
But it’s a mistake to chart the glories without much doubt

Can somebody please get GNHQ to change this title to ‘Goodbye Dame Esther’ ?
« Good by Dame Esther»:sounds like the title of a book.

Exactly what this means I have no idea.
I dislike its «nudge, nudge, wink, wink» tone

Great idea, oldfrill. I hadn’t heard of it.

This is a condolence thread, not a thread to discuss infidelity, alleged unpleasantness, etc. If posters want to discuss such matters then surely they need to start separate threads. I find bringing these things up here somewhat distasteful.

God bless you Esther,such amazing work with childline,rest in peace lovely lady.

It is very sad that Dame Esther Rantzen has passed away. My sincere condolences to all her family.
She certainly came across as a lovely caring lady. I remember looking forward to watching 'That's Life' every week.
Greyfur16. Yes, I do happen to remember something about her connection with Saville years ago. How true it was though, I don't know.
