- Graham Thorpe | August 1969-August 2024 | Digital Gravestones
In Loving Memory Of: Graham Thorpe August 1969 - August 2024 55 Years Old English Cricketer Your memorial? Click here to edit... Share this Memorial with Friends & Family: Share Memorial on FB Biography: Graham Paul Thorpe MBE (1 August 1969 – 4 August 2024) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Surrey, and represented England in 100 Test matches. He also played 82 One Day Internationals (ODIs) including appearances at the 1996 and 1999 World Cups and deputised as captain on three occasions. A left-handed middle-order batsman, Thorpe made his first-class debut for Surrey in 1988, becoming a regular in their side the following season. Following four winters of England A tours he made his full international debut in 1993, scoring a century on his Test debut against Australia. He was briefly dropped in 1994 but became an England regular through consistent scoring, although he struggled for a time to convert half-centuries into three-figure scores. After beginning 1997 with back-to-back centuries he was England's leading scorer and player of the Ashes series, which led to his selection as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year. After 10 seasons of touring he opted out of the South Africa series at the turn of the millennium, before returning refreshed to play some of his best cricket as England won a subcontinent series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in 2000–01. In early 2002, Thorpe scored the then third fastest double century in Test history as he made his highest Test score of 200 not out against New Zealand. The innings came at a time when his marriage was breaking down, and this led him to first retire from ODIs before taking a break from cricket entirely. He returned for England after over a year out, scoring a century at his home ground, The Oval. He was a member of the England side that won a national record eight successive Tests in 2004, and the following year made his 100th Test appearance. Thorpe retired from playing in 2005 after non-selection for the Ashes and took up coaching positions with New South Wales, Surrey and England. He died from suicide in August 2024, aged 55.

- Tom Wilkinson | February 1948-December 2023 | Digital Gravestones
In Loving Memory Of: Tom Wilkinson February 1948 - December 2023 75 Years Old "Loved By all, Remembered By Many, Cherished Forever" Your memorial? Click here to edit... Share this Memorial with Friends & Family: Share Memorial on FB Biography: Though he had been, in his own words (2000), "a moderately successful actor for 25 years", it was being part of that ensemble in The Full Monty (UK/US, d. Peter Cattaneo, 1997), that made Tom Wilkinson such a hot property around the turn of the century. He'd had earlier successes on stage (as, for example, T.S. Eliot in Tom and Viv, 1984, and as King Lear, 1993, both at the Royal Court) and on TV (in entertaining rubbish like First Among Equals, Granada, 1986, and as Pecksniff in Martin Chuzzlewit, BBC, 1994). He'd had telling character roles in such films as In the Name of the Father (UK/Ireland/US, d. Jim Sheridan, 1993), Priest (d. Antonia Bird, 1994, as an indulgent one) and Sense and Sensibility (d. Ang Lee, 1995, as dying Mr Dashwood), but the success of Monty, in which he played the middle-class manager, gave him new status and he filmed incessantly after that. He was the choleric, obsessive Marquess of Queensberry in Wilde (UK/Germany/Japan/US, d. Brian Gilbert, 1997), the sexually tempted employer of The Governess (UK/France, d. Sandra Goldbacher, 1998), very funny (and BAFTA-nominated) as the theatrical entrepreneur who fancies himself as actor in Shakespeare in Love (UK/US, d. John Madden, 1998), and, in the US domestic tragedy, In the Bedroom (US, d. Todd Field, 2001), unbearably moving as the bereaved father, receiving both Oscar and BAFTA nominations. University of Kent-educated Wilkinson had become a major character star, with a remarkable gift - one among several - for conveying inner pain. He is married to Diana Hardcastle, who was in Mike Figgis's The House (1984).
