The British singer Ronnie Carroll, born in Belfast (Northern Ireland) died last night at the age of 80 following a short illness. He represented the nation twice in-a-row, in 1962 and 1963 with the entries ‘Ring-A-Ding Girl’ and ‘Say Wonderful Things’ respectively, coming 4th both times.
As BBC reports, Mr Carroll was due to stand as an independent in the election in the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, he had previously stood unsuccessfully in elections under the banner of parties such as Make Politicians History, though.
From all members of our team, may he rest in peace and all our condolences to his relatives, friends and fans.
