Jeremy Clarkson has opened up about ageing and his own mortality ahead of his 62nd birthday.
The often out-spoken TV presenter kicks of the discussion on the often taboo subject of dying when he recalls how accepting those he has witnessed around him appeared when in the final throws from death.
Penning in his Times column he shares how he fears his own death will be in stark contrast to the calm and serene demeanour displayed by others and he suggests he's more likely to be ''howling and pleading with doctors to find a cure''.
