Touching

Channel 4’s Falling ended with an emotional title card tribute to the late Rob Picton.

Channel 4’s new drama Falling concluded with a touching tribute to Rob Picton, who worked on the production crew.

The series, penned by Adolescence writer Jack Thorne and featuring Keeley Hawes and Paapa Essiedu, revolves around a “forbidden love story between a Catholic priest and a devoted nun”.

Tuesday evening’s premiere captivated Channel 4 audiences with the story of Sister Anna and priest David. At the episode’s conclusion, a memorial card appeared on screen reading: “In loving memory of Rob Picton.”

According to TVGuide, this honoured Rob Picton, who served as a unit driver on Falling, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Picton, who also worked as a driver on Gavin and Stacey, sadly died last year.

Gavin and Stacey star Mathew Horne previously appeared to acknowledge the loss during a Somerset event, stating: “Earlier on… we had a driver on the finale called Rob and he was in his early 40s… and I found out via the WhatsApp group earlier that he has passed away and I got slightly distracted there.”

He continued: “It’s really, really sad. I got distracted by losing Rob. He was a really lovely guy and he’s left a four-year-old behind and that is really, really, really sad.”

Picton was equally renowned as a DJ, performing under the name Joe Blow.

Last year, the Barry and District News reported that Picton was a father of five from Barry, describing him as an “absolute legend in the Welsh music scene” who championed numerous emerging artists.

A GoFundMe page was established to support his family, with a message posted on the platform stating: “We’ve now received a little more information about our dear friend Rob Picton.

“While we still don’t fully know the reasons or circumstances around his sudden passing, what we do know is that Rob was proud – proud of his children, his work, and the life he lived.

“Just a few weeks ago, I was sitting in the car with him, chatting about his birthday weekend and his kids. It’s still hard to believe he’s no longer with us.

“This GoFundMe has been set up on behalf of Fiona and Jerry Lockett, to support Rob’s family and honour his memory during this incredibly difficult time.”

Falling is airing on Channel 4.

LORNA Luxe rewore her wedding dress to the BAFTA TV Awards in a touching tribute to her late husband – three months after his sad death.

The popular influencer was left heartbroken in February when her husband John passed away aged 64 following a battle with adrenal cancer.

But in a touching tribute, Lorna, 43, opted to wear her wedding gown to the annual event in London, keeping her husband close in her thoughts as she continues to figure out life without him.

Earlier in the week, Lorna had shared on TikTok that she was keen to wear her dress, as it also tapped into the awards’ theme of sustainability, but it was a little loose around her rib cage which was off putting.

But on Sunday, Lorna took to Instagram to show off her glam red carpet look and was wearing the dress, which featured a satin bodice, thin straps and a chiffon drape coming from the cleavage and down around the hips to become the skirt.

Lorna tagged her hair and make up team in the video, and also added: “I’m so chuffed I got the dress altered with @abigailwestrupbridal it fits like a glove.”

BELOVED British rock legend, Alex Ligertwood, who helped shape the sound of Santana has died aged 79.

His daughter, Merci, shared the heartbreaking news on Saturday following his death just weeks after taking the stage for the final time.

The Brogan Agency confirmed a day later that the star “passed peacefully in his sleep with his doggy Bobo by his side” at his longtime home in Santa Monica.

Tributes have already begun pouring in for the iconic frontman, whose powerhouse vocals defined an era.

Guitarist Brandon Paul, who toured alongside him in recent years as part of “Icons of Classic Rock,” led the emotional tributes – hailing him as “a world-class professional.”

He said: “His voice was a force of nature – soulful, from the heart, and legendary every single night. Beyond the music, he was an amazing human being and a dear friend.”

Brandon added: “Having a vocalist who worked with icons like Carlos Santana and Jeff Beck compliment my guitar playing is something I will carry with me forever.”

The singer worked as Santana’s lead vocalist on five separate occasions between 1979 and 1994, lending his unmistakable voice to classic albums including Marathon, Zebop!, Shango and Sacred Fire: Live in South America.

He also brought some of the band’s biggest hits roaring to life on stage, including “Winning,” “Hold On,” and “All I Ever Wanted.”
