Ronnie Biggs dead

[AdultKing]

Ronnie Biggs died today.

English criminal Ronnie Biggs, famous for his role in the Great Train Robbery in 1963, has died aged 84.

Biggs, who spent 35 years on the run, won notoriety and some popularity for his ingenuity in evading capture and for cheekily thumbing his nose at the law from sun-soaked beaches.

The infamous Great Train Robbery saw a 15-strong gang hold up a Glasgow-to-London mail train and make off with 2.6 million pounds, a huge sum at the time, at a railway bridge north of London.

The celebrity fugitive played a minor role in the hold-up but was jailed for 30 years in 1964.

Yeah that's 2 people in the last 3 days that I thought were already dead. I thought Peter O'Toole died years and years ago for some reason.
