Awww, missed the news tonight, so so sad. Loved him when my kids were young, as they did. Lovely man. Sincere condolences to his family

That's a very young Shep in that photo!

My Dad met him. He went on Blue Peter once to demonstrate the satellite he was launching. The first we knew about it was when he appeared on screen while we were watching it at home. He had kept it quiet from us, but let Mum know so she could make sure we were watching.

He said he was very nice but that his car was incredibly messy.

RIP
