Illustrator and author Raymond Briggs has also died.
He is most famous for The Snowman, now a regular fixture of British Christmas TV scheduling.
His contribution to the world of stories extends way beyond that. Not only a grumpy Father Christmas but also Fungus the Bogeyman, then the more adult oriented When the Wind Blows and The Tin-pot General and the Old Iron Woman to name but a few.
Raymond Redvers Briggs; 18/1/1934 – 9/8/2022. So it goes.
