'A UK film critic, Jason Solomon's said, 'London ran through him like a stick of rock'. He was certainly well know for being the cockney. Sherlock creator and actor Mark Gatiiss, said, 'a true gent and an inspiration'.
He was 71 years old, and he passed over with 'pneumonia' surrounded by his family on the 29th April, 2014. "In an interview, when asked what he owed his parents, he said, "Confidence. My mum used to say to me, 'If somebody doesn't like you, fuck 'em, they've got bad taste.'" That is the kind of thing a Londoner would say. It is the end of an era, you can be sure that he will have a few words to say to Maggie Thatcher when he gets over the other side. He didn't like Tony Blair either.

May his family be comforted at this time. In 2012, he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The 29th was the 'Day of Image'.

The Bob Hoskins Song
I was going to post the film of 'Mona Lisa', then the message received, 'The Bike'. Cyclechat have given him a tribute thread, and I am sure that many Brits will be honoring him at this time. An actor that was loved much by his nation, a working class boy, that made it to the big screen.
