“Rima Horton said: “I got involved with Pancreatic Cancer UK because Alan died of pancreatic cancer, and Alan was only 69 and had so much more to offer the world.”
Rima Horton made the comments by Tower Bridge in central London where almost 800 trainers, representing the number of people who die from the pancreatic cancer each month in the UK, have been laid ahead of the London Marathon.
Ms Horton said her late husband was not only an “extraordinary actor” but was “incredibly kind” and would do anything he could to help others. “If he could make a phone call, if he could write a letter, if he could put two people in touch with people, he did.”
“I know people say to me often when they’re in any sort of difficult situation: ‘Now, what would Alan do here?’ because he did have a reputation of being not just wise, he just had a very good intuition about things and about people which is one of the reasons he was a good actor.” (‘The Telegraph’, 15 April 2025)
