Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee CBE, CStJ (27 May 1922 – 7 June 2015) was an English actor, singer and author.  He died on the 7th June 2019. He died in London with no cause known as yet.

I was brought up with the tales starring Christopher Lee. Dracula, Hammer House, The Hound of the Baskervilles. He was my idol and he scared and amused me in equal measure.

“To be a legend, you’ve either got to be dead or excessively old!” Christopher Lee

You were/are a legend. Christopher, and that was way before you were old, or dead!

Sleep well
