The sky at night will never be the same, a great man

He was the William Hershel of our times.

Sir Patrick did more for amateur astronomy than anyone else. A great eccentric character on our tv screens.

Yes, a very clever man and a sad loss.

...and with an impeccable sense of judgement also, based on this quote:

I was in hospital once and I watched a whole episode of EastEnders. I suppose it's true to life. But so is diarrhoea - and I don't want to see that on television.

Hear, hear, Sir Patrick, RIP.

Oh Moon Oh Moon
With the beautiful face
Careering throughout the boundary of Space
Whenever I see you, I think in my mind
Will I ever, Oh ever
Behold thy behind!
