Passing away at 90.
The passing of the last of the great generation of British Actors who made their first appearances during the 1940's brings to an end the Golden Age of British Cinema. We shall not see it's like again.

@DM Wellard. Don't forget to mention that he was also a great director of large-scale, important movies. I don't know that in future we'll see movies with the scope and size of "Gandhi," "Cry Freedom" or "A Bridge Too Far" - or if we do, all the 'extras' will be digital creations and the scenes will all be performed in front of a green screen. The kind of directing Attenborough did may one day be a lost art.
He had a good innings and an amazing life.
