R.I.P Shaggy GBNF I am just stunned, I had known Shaggy for a long time, I can still hearing his welcome to me at my first ever club meet. "It's V the Sutton Coldfield Tap Dancer" My very first days of biking. He had an uncanny knack of making me blush by just looking at me. So many memories.
Sorry to hear your sad news CG.
I hope the cowardly bastards feel so happy with themselves, they deserve to serve very long terms in jail. It is just a shame the death penalty is no longer with us, then these thugs might have second thoughts before setting about someone going about their own business.

It is just a shame the death penalty is no longer an option for the judiciary, then these thugs might just have second thoughts before they set about someone going about their own business.
