As someone who has witnessed at first hand how awful Alzheimer's & Dementia are I would say it's a blessing that he is now at peace.

RIP John

RIP John
It might, to some, seem an awful thing to say, but it reaches a point when it is very much a blessing.

Like many on UTC, I grew up watching Blue Peter every week. John Noakes was always a good presenter alongside the others but he loved his dogs more I think. A sad loss.
RIP John
