Hil has kindly, yet sadly, drew my attention to the death on Jan 10 of Christine Langford. Better known as Chris (pictured left) she was best remembered locally as a singer on the "One O'Clock Show" in the early days of Tyne Tees Television. This was back in 1959. In Geoff Phillips' book commemorating the 40th anniversary of TTT Chris is given two pages.

She was a neighbour & friend
She was devastated when her 2nd husband Richard died and never fully recovered and became a bit of a hermit
wicked sense of humour - fantastic cook- excellent artist - will be sadly missed- always a feisty friend said it as it was - adored Richard for all his faults and problems he left her but overcame them
Larger than life character who we all loved and will sadly miss
Sorry that some members of her family and previous friends were not there to celebrate her life today
Very tasteful remembrance service very dignified - her nephew (or cousin) has the tone right
