Dick van Dyke is 100 today

[the coming of gary]

Actor and honorary Cockney

An incredibly full life ; He was alive at the same time as Wyatt Earp

David Attenborough could also reach 100 next May, but Stanley Baxter checked out today aged 99
.

[Iron Duke]

Famously sang “We are the bastards in claret and blue”. Happy birthday.

Saw him tell a lovely story.  Apparently after Sean Connery left the Bond role Dick Van Dyke was kind of offered the role but as much as he was honoured, he said "have you heard my British accent?!"

A great performer and a top human being.
It was great whn Don Cheadle topped his worst ever ockney accent in Oceans 11.
Step in toime Mayry Porppins.

Well done but at a hundred years old isn't it time you hung up your Liverpool boots?

He should get an honorary birthday card from the King. That would be mildly amusing.

Cor blimey! Dick.          Well done

The Chim Chim Cher-ee part of Mary Poppins is the most charming thing.

He's one of our own.

Well played Mr Van Dyke bringing up your century
Was an alcoholic during the making of Mary Poppins which made the dancing hard work 
Was previously in the Dick Van Dyke Show created by Carl Reiner alongside Mary Tyler Moore which I watched as a kid
