May light perpetual shine upon him.

Up the Ox and Bucks!

[Jock Scot]

The world is a sadder place without this brave man and accomplished actor. One of Britain's finest and a true gentleman.

[Arlen]

A sad, sad day indeed.

[KFCarter]

Very sad news indeed.

[Sir William]

Very sad. Richard Todd was one of my favorite actors.

I can only add my condolences to those already offered. I always enjoyed his acting and his war record is worthy of our deepest respect.

I should have noted that Todd played Cpl. Lachlan "Lachy" MacLachlan in The Hasty Heart and The Rev. Peter Marshall, a Coatbridge man, in A Man Called Peter. Marshall was the originator of the Kirkin' of the Tartan service during the Second World War.

Apart from my Dad being a Highlander, my parents named me Lachlan primarily after the Richard Todd character in The Hasty Heart
