As wordsmiths we must all surely mourn the passing of Sir Peter Ustinov a man who spoke 6 languages fluently and reportedly knew more English words, their correct use and meaning than almost anybody else alive.

A consumate, actor, playwrite, raconteur and comedy actor he will be sadly missed.

RIP

Yes indeed, a man of great wit, intellect and learning. I didn't know he'd died. He'll be sadly missed.

Enormously sad. A great wit and a good man.

A light has gone out today.

He was exquisitely witty. And he will be missed.

dee what a lovely sentiment

Thank you, David.

We are all candles in the dark.

yes just a pity that some aren't alight

All very true.

I think the world is a little poorer today.

As a snowflake falls it collides with others,
I think he collided with lots.
