Remember back in 1969 when there were rumours that Paul McCartney was dead, and had been replaced by a lookalike? Well now Paul has died, albeit in cartoon form, as Geoffrey Hughes, the actor that voiced him in the Beatles film 'Yellow Submarine', passed away on 27th July from Prostate Cancer. Hughes is know (in the UK at least) for lots of other roles, but mainly as Eddie Yates in Coronation Street. He was in numerous series as l was growing up, and was pretty much a constant face on the old goggle box. He was also educated at Norris Green, a stone throw away from where l was born, so he's OK in my book. Another loveable rogue of a (nearly) scouser (born in Wallasey) bites the dust. There's not many of us left (so it's a good job l'm indestructible).
