At age 89, I wouldn't call his demise 'tragic', but with his ‘Sky at Night’ programme, which has been running for years and years, I think he probably sowed the seed of interest in the universe into most of us who are interested. I understand he was self-taught – and considering his astonishing knowledge, that was an astonishing achievement. He was greatly admired and will no doubt be greatly missed. RIP Patrick.
