•'/. .‘- v K It all starts with r' - . ;


There’s no one quite like Brit­ ish acting legend Blessed, film star, trained undertaker, un­ likely diplomat, mountaineer and brilliant raconteur. And he is back in Clitheroe


armed with hisnewautobiogra- phy, the aptly named Absolute Pandemonium. The show, like Blessed’s


mad-cap publication, provides a riotous journey from child­ hood, as the son of a Yorkshire miner, to finding fame in Z Cars, punching Harold Pinter and winning round George Lu­ cas to landtheroleofBossNass in Star Wars. And who can forget the


mighty Vultari, the prince ofthe Hawkmen,intheFlash Gordon sci-fi film. - Blessed said:’When I played


that magnificent theatre in Lancashire last year I prom­ ised I would be back to see my friends in Clitheroe again and I can’t wait to see them all again. “They made me the patron,


and I’m very proud of that.” He promised: “It will be an


extra specialshowin Clitheroe so stand by your beds every­


body, Mr Blessed is on his way back.” Last year’s show at the


Grand was Blessed’s first public appearance sincehewasforced to withdraw from a production


Brian Blessed (s)


of King Lear after collapsing on stage weeks earlier. He has since undergone


heart surgery and written his life story. The 78-year-old actor told


the Clitheroe audience that he hoped to live for “another 30 years after the procedure". “I had severe fibulation, but


the reason is this old bloke has climbed Everest three times, walked across the Antarctic, scaled mountains and volcanos


and trained as an astronaut in Russia.


“I’ve taken terrible risks,


butdoyouknowwhat,myheart has been voted by Prince Phil-. lips’ surgeons as the strongest they’ve seen in a man of my age.” One of the country’s best­


loved actors, Blessed added: “I love life - there’s no such thing as death-I want to live until I’m no.”


Blessed, who stayed for an hour after the Clitheroe show


signing fans’ autographs, said: “It was wonderful to climb back on the stage and feel the audi­ ence’s warmth again. ‘ “I will never forget that


evening in Clitheroe with those beautiftil, wonderful people.” Brian Blessed, Absolute


Pandemonium, followed by an audience question and answer. Clitheroe Grand Theatre,

School’s trumpeters play the Last Post


The whole school at St Augustine’s RC High School at Billington stopped for two min­ utes’ silence to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. And around school, six trumpeters played the Last Post followed by two minutes si­ lence, finishing with the Reveille. A group of Year 10 pupils have made a cross of poppies that is pictured and a wreath was laid at the memorial on Wednesday


morning last week, Armistice Day. This forms part of a day of remembrance in school which includes prayers for those who have died, wearing poppies with pride and a display in school highlighting both the importance of remembering the hor­ ror of war and the importance of making a stand against tyranny. The picture shows the trumpet players with the cross of poppies made by Year 10 pupils.
