Alan Hawkshaw, the musician known for writing the theme tunes of Grange Hill and Countdown, died early Saturday. He was 84. The musician was admitted to hospital this week with pneumonia, reports BBC. “It was heartbreaking to say goodbye to Alan, my husband of 53 years and the love of my life,” said his wife Christiane. “We spent the last few hours gazing at each other with love, holding hands, no need for words. I told him he and I were forever, and even though he has been unable to speak for the past two months, he managed a few ‘forevers’ and I knew he was at peace,” she also said.
