For all us GH fans born in the 60/70's, always sad to see our childhood memories brought back to this reality.

Well, that was genuinely heart rending. A bit like when you hear an old school friend has passed away. Which is exactly how it is - in a way we all went to Grange Hill.

Will always miss the autumn winter days coming home from school passing the shop with the standard firework guy fawks poster thinking Grange hills on soon 😪

Grange Hill was the best tv show for kids back in the 70s and 80s.they never show like that for kids now.our childmood memories,we like to say thank you. RIP XXXXXXXXX

Better times in the 80s☺God Bless Them All❤

Mr Bronson.....the most memorable teacher from the good old days of Grange Hill. 😥

Terry Sue Pat was a local guy in Leyton, East London. I used to see him all the time, and the last time was at a festival in Walthamstow where the Brand New Heavies headlined. He was such a nice guy, so personable and was very knowledgeable about acting. Used to quote Shakespeare and all sorts of things. He is really missed.

Michael Sheard as Mr Bronson was brilliant. Sheard was a fantastic character actor.

Omg this was part of my history ! Getting home from school to watch this. It was so like my school !! ❤❤❤❤love to all who are my age & watched it❤❤❤❤

omg didn't know Benny passed away he was one of my favourite characters when I was a kid, like Benny we had no money and relied on free school meals and hand me downs RIP Benny nice touching memorial post well done

Heartbreaking losing old friends. Great memories. RIP.

A very moving tribute - fondly remembered actors from the great days of Grange Hill!

Michael Sheard - absolute legend. RIP x

What a memorable cast. It made me sad that some died way too young. Rest in Peace, and thank you for giving us such a wonderful TV series.

I was born in 67 Used to watch G H all the time.. Wouldn't miss an episode.. I had a monster crush on Miss Mooney in a pent up Librarian kind of way..

Thanks for this moving tribute. It's like a reminder to enjoy life while we still have it. Best wishes.

A most beautifully done tribute. I would regard the deaths of Laura Sadler and Terry Sue-Patt as the saddest, out of all the Grange Hill characters that are sadly no longer with us

I used to see Joanne Kenny after she left Grange Hill at a secretary school in Ilford. Life is so unpredictable

I'm 55 next month and it reminds me of the class mates and teachers at my High School that have now gone. Some went way too young. Leon Wellings - died at 16 when he got a Motorbike that was too big for him to handle (he was a short guy) and he crashed it into a lamp post in Cradley Heath in the West Midlands. Also Wayne "Bodger" Garrett who used to sit next to me in class - a truly lovely guy who rode Speedway bikes for Cradley Heathens - a young legend who had an accident in a race where he spun off the bike like a helicopter and ended up with a massive brain bleed. In a coma for a while and died of Pneumonia and never woke. Others have gone but it makes you realise that you ain't done too bad to have gotten this far. Yes, in those days, we ALL went to a Grange Hill with its' ups and downs. My best mate and I used to run the Tuck Shop which was a private room with serving hatches that we used to open on breaks. We used to get the School hard knocks coming around trying to bully us into giving them Outerspacers and Mojos. Once they broke in and booted the serving hatch door in - dumb asses left a specific boot print on the door which led the teachers back to that kid! Oh, the days! Oh, and don't forget there was always one kid who was an arsonist who, in our case, set fire to the massive curtains that were on the stage in the assembly hall! Shame they managed to put the fire out!

So sad that these wonderful actors & actresses are no longer with us!

Such warm memories of my youth watching Grange Hill.So sad to know these bright lights have gone out.R.I.P.🙏🏻❤️

R.I.P, ALL OF THEM

I'm so glad people take the time to post things like this. It's very much appreciated. Do the cast members understand how much of a statement they were of those times. I hope they do. I feel even more closer to them than my own REAL classmates at school now.

Loved grange hill big part of growing up god bless all ❤

Joanne Kenny was so beautiful

This makes me feel emotional. So many on this list are gone too soon. May they rest in peace.

Everyone saying it was great in the 70's/80's it was also excellent in the 90's.

Such a lot of the cast gone. And they all seem way too young. Brilliant programme

"Benny Green" was apparently dead for close to a month in his flat before being found. Sad way to go 😔

It’s lovely, and bittersweet to look back at our memories. We have all gained and lost, but we carry on and shine our light, as those before us did, even in the darkest days.

Happy times....Thanks for the memories RIP.

Remember as a kid growing up with Grange Hill growing up in northern Ireland best thing we had. I can remember bumping into faye lucas when we was in the lakeside shopping centre in England made my Yr so it did.

Only just finished watching the 2 DVD (Series 1,2,3,4) releases of Grange Hill recently. Wanted to watch the episodes I didn't see the first time around. I started watching in 1984 until probably 1990. Didn't realize so many of those faces I've just seen are no longer with us. RIP x

So very sad, but an incredible piece of music. Emotional. Back in the days when you'd make sure you where sitting in front of the TV, when Grange Hill was on. No recording, no repeats, no mobile phones, no KZfaq, just a better time...

GH was the highlight of our childhood TV, sad to see the passing away of the younger actors. Could you do the video with dates and causes of death, not for morbid reasons , more a understanding of there sad loss.

Bronson....legend

They were some great convincing characters from Grange Hill, especially the earlier series from the late 1970s early 1980s.

So sad that Mark Farmer has gone, he was brilliant as Gary Hargreaves.

Just found this tonight while searching for some Grange Hill stuff!.... cant believe some of the losses, i didnt realize Denzil Kilvington had left us or Lucinda Gane, Joann Kenny, Adam Ray as well! so sad!! :(

So desperately sad that the younger ones have passed away as they can't have been any older than me.

Can't believe Joann Kenny isn't with us anymore, we were the same age, sleep peacefully my beautiful Princess. Xxx ❤

Denzel Kilvington was such a great friend and so funny. I miss him so much, I wish I had spent more time with him!

Adam Ray who played Tom Brisley was one of my favourite characters. I hadn't heard that he had died.

I met Joann Kenny in 1990 at a Doctor Who convention, she was a guest actor in a four parter called The Curse of Fenric

they live on in their work in this great series that was part of our growing up life...

Sean Arnold who played Mr. Llewelyn past away last month 15th April 2020 . Lovely guy had the pleasure of meeting him once

mark farmer as johnny jarvis..... early 80s nostalgic tv... R. I. P MARK...

Always will be in our hearts home from school grange hill tuesday and fridays brilliant good old days

Ok, THAT is just genuinely weird!! This video just appeared in my recommended section and the thumbnail of Joann Kenny reminded me of a dream I had last night in which I met her and started chatting with her on a train!! In the dream, I knew she was the Grange Hill actress, but didn't mention it, and I remember she was really nice and very easy to talk to! Her character was in the same year as me in school when I used to watch it in the late 80s. I'd no idea she'd passed away. RIP Joann. It was nice chatting with you!

RIP to all those past away from Grange hill 💔💔🙏🙏

Nostalgia definition: a feeling of pleasure and also slight sadness when you think about things that happened in the past: Some people feel nostalgia for their schooldays. Hearing that song again filled him with nostalgia. a wave (= sudden strong feeling) of nostalgia

Benn and Garry really got me emotional

Wonderful tribute! ❤

R.I.P All of the Got great memories of some of them especially Michael Sheard, Joann Kenny, Hilary Crane and Terry Sue- Patt a very fitting song to 😊😊

That, the, older, characters have died is no surprise - they're older! But, it's heartbreaking when you see the kids. Especially, Benny and Jane Bishop (My experience with 'GH' covered the period when they were on it). So, very, sad! 😪😞

God brings memories back loved Grange hill

Joann & Laura’s passings certainly hit me. Looking at all that Joann did in her career (including a Sindy ad in 1981 and she did a couple of music videos for Mobiles (Drowning in Berlin) and OMD (Genetic Engineering) she was just amazing and of course she did Curse of Fenric (Doctor Who). Michael Sheard was in his late 60’s when he died. RIP to all these wonderful souls.

Although still sad, it is less surprising that the actors & actresses who played teachers back then are no longer with us. It was around 40 years ago or so that they were on TV, which could have made them in their 70s or older by now.

Thanks for sharing, the early Grange Hills were a big part of my childhood. Nice song to go with the video "The last goodbye" by Billy Boyd

Oh how I miss watching Grange Hill it was such a brilliant programme and they don't make them like that anymore which is a great shame. I never missed an episode once I got into watching it. I can remember Mr Bronson that's how old I am! I used to find myself worrying about certain characters and they had such brilliant and very talented actresses and actors. It was sad to see my all time favourite Grange Hill star Laura Sadler who was also in Holby City and a film called Intimate Relations with Julie Walters and Rupert Graves. Laura and I were basically pen pals, I would write to her and she would write back saying what she liked about the shows she was in. I used to watch her on Grange Hill and think she was going to be a big star she had that extra something about her. She was a wonderful actress, very kind and very funny too. I got invited to a special do they did for her after she died where there was lots of famous people there who knew her. It was in a theatre (there was a few from Grange Hill there) and they showed film footage of Laura and they shared stories about her. She was an awesome young lady gone far too young xxx

Very well put together, I had no idea of any of them so bittersweet memories. Nice to pay my respects.

I remember their faces so well.

I'm only 10 and my mam wached this and I'm obsessed

Wow! So sad. It's kind of hard to leave a like but it's a very moving tribute & that's why I left one. I can understand with some of those who were getting on a bit at the time but the chap who played Cathy Hargreaves brother & the girl who played Jane Bishop! Really?! May they all rest in peace.

Joann KENNY really? My era, and i always had a crush on her. She went to drama school and was interviewed by the gorgeous Jenny Powell on her tour of the school for a Sat morning kids TV show back in the 80s. She did ballet and all sorts. Very sad news.

Back in the days when the bbc was respected not anymore nice video great childhood memories there

Now poor Mrs. McClusky is no longer with us. RIP.

Mr Griffiths and Mr McKenzie have since left us, Mr McKenzie only very recently 😢

Grange Hill loves it ❤

I wish someone would invent a time machine!

Just recently read up on IMDB, Sadly, Chris Crookall, who played Andy Turner in series 26-30 passed away October last year. RIP and thoughts and prayers for his family and friends 🙏

Shocking I'm feeling sad 😥 but respect to them great actors and actress

That's so sad! Old Mitch is gone too

Beautiful tribute.

An iconic programme.

Lovely but sad does brings a tear or two. Do remember such a good tv show from times gone by

A great song to those in the best tv show ever

I'm going to have to stop watching these kind of video's it hurts to much to think these people have passed which was part of my childhood :(

Great video. It would be interesting to know how they died.

Didn't know about mark farmer .saw him a few times in minder... R. I. P.

Very sad to see so many have died, where most of those who played the teachers, especialy the senior ones would have been a fair age, It's quite shocking to see the number who must have passed relatively young.

Mr. McGuffy was my favourite teech in Grange Hill, he was young and a bit hippyish and the kids affectionately called him 'Scruffy McGuffy'. Eventually the headmistress told him to spruce himself up a bit and he seemed to goodnaturedly comply..:)

Brilliant tribute and very well edited. 🙂

Life can be so cruel.

This was very moving, especially the "pupils" who have left us. Michael Sheard was great, I didn't recognise Mark farmer, who later played "Justin" in several episodes of Minder.

RIP to all the lost cast of grange hill !!! you to Mr Bronson :)

Oh gosh, I had no idea Joann Kenny. Appeared alongside fellow GH alumni Joanne Bell in Doctor Who in 1989.

You expect the Teachers to be Dead but not some of the Kids ?

Miss you: Mr Keating Mrs Jenkins Mrs Yates Mr Mitchell 😢

Needs updating now that George Armstrong & Gwyneth Powell are no longer with us and maybe others RIP all

“Death” Sue-Patt's death was announced on Twitter and his Facebook profile on 22 May 2015. Scotland Yard confirmed that officers had forced entry into a flat in Walthamstow after concerns were raised about the welfare of the occupant; however, the death was not treated as suspicious. It was reported that Sue-Patt may have died up to a month before his body was discovered.

Joann Kenny was the saddest of all I still have tears when her picture comes up she was In a an OMD video

Mark Farmer was a talent, he was brilliant in Minder playing Jusitn

It's only now*I'm 50) you realise you miss this stuff

That’s yer childhood great memories and this so sad to see

Joann Kenny in the OMD Video Genetic Engineering.

Very chilling fact to know that Laura Sadler and her character died in similar circumstances. 😳

Not forgetting George A Cooper 'Mr Griffiths ' and Anna Quayle 'Miss Munro'

Louise Plowright-I have a feeling that she appeared in EastEnders in the late 80s or early 90s,as the character, Julie Cooper

Joann Kenny Born: 1971 Died: 2009 (age: 38)... Joann Kenny (Jean) Feb 11 1972 to Jan 3 2010 (multiple organ failure, pneumonia and alcoholic liver disease*) Career highlights Joann will perhaps be best remembered for playing Jane Bishop in school drama Grange Hill between 1985-88; Facts As part of the Grange Hill cast she appeared on the Just Say No anti-drugs single in 1986, which peaked at number 5 on the chart. She apparently appeared on Dr Who but I can't confirm this at this time.
