The Red Ticking Clock: Ronan O'Rahilly

Ronan O'Rahilly, founder of Radio Caroline, died on Monday 20th April, 2020. Ronan, you had much to say on many subjects, but here are just a few of your thoughts. Rest In Peace, Ronan. Many try to imitate you - none are successful, nor will they be. With love from Nigel aka Stuart Russell, the fellow you once said was too shy to be famous - you were quite right! And I'll never forget, on my first shore-leave from the Mi Amigo, you told me to be myself in life, whatever people thought or said about me. To this day, I try my best and will try even harder now. And I'm sorry for driving you through a red light in London and scaring you rigid! But you did say you had a meeting at seven! Nonetheless, I remember very well that you were not impressed. And sorry too for getting us lost in Essex trying to get you home one evening. Ronan, I'll never forget you. xxxx
