'Britain is No Country for Old Men' paid tribute to six remarkable women in 2022


Britain says "Farewell" to Beryl Vertue, the Visionary Matriarch who worked in a world of film and television production dominated by men



Britain says "Farewell" and "Thankyou" to the last of Hull's 'Headscarf Heroes', Yvonne Blenkinsop



Wales made and Britain says "Farewell" to the Grande Dame of Television Celebrity Interviewers, Mavis Nicholson


Ireland made, but the World has lost that fearless traveller and much loved writer of travel books, Dervla Murphy



Britain made and the USA has lost Audrey Evans, Creator of 'Staging' for kids with cancer and Ronald McDonald Homes for their moms and dads



Britain has lost and Northern Ireland says "Goodbye" to its fearless May Blood, who fought in a male-dominated world to gain rights and improve the lives of its women
