Reverend Richard Coles, a beloved member of the community and star of Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared some devastating news with his followers. In addition to the passing of his mother Elizabeth earlier this year, he also had to say goodbye to his two dogs, Daisy and Pongo. These furry companions had lived long and happy lives together, and it was only fitting that they left this world together as well.
Richard, a former BBC Radio 4 broadcaster and Church of England clergyman, posted a heartfelt photo of Daisy and Pongo on social media. The outpouring of support from his fans was overwhelming, with many offering their condolences and sharing their own experiences with losing a furry friend. One fan even pointed out the irony of "dog" being "God" spelled backwards, reminding us of the special bond between humans and their pets.
But amidst the sadness, Richard also shared some exciting news with his followers. He invited them to join a Strictly Come Dancing WhatsApp channel, where they could get all the latest news and rumors about the show. It was a fun and lighthearted way to bring some joy back into his followers' lives during this difficult time.
Richard's fans were quick to show their support for him, with many expressing their condolences and love for him. They recognized the special bond he had with his dogs and the pain he must be feeling with their passing. Richard's time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 was also mentioned, reminding us of his vibrant personality and love for dance.
This tragic news comes after a difficult few years for Richard, including the passing of his partner of 12 years, David, in 2019. In his book, The Madness of Grief: A Memoir of Love and Loss, Richard shared the heartbreaking story of David's struggle with alcoholism and how it ultimately led to his death. It was a tough journey for both of them, but Richard did everything he could to help David overcome his addiction.
Despite the challenges, Richard and David shared a beautiful life together in the vicarage of St Mary's in Finedon, Northamptonshire, along with their two other dogs, Audrey and Horatio. Their love for each other and their furry companions was evident to all who knew them.
As Richard and his community continue to mourn the loss of his beloved dogs, we can all take comfort in the fact that Daisy and Pongo lived long and happy lives together and have now departed this world together. They will be greatly missed, but their memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved them. And as Richard's fans have shown, he is not alone in this difficult time, and we can all offer our support and love to him as he navigates through this loss.
