The indomitable June Brown insisted, in her latter years, that she had no fear of dying.
It's why she refused to quit her long-term smoking habit, continued drinking wine and Guinness, and merrily went on eating the dark chocolate she was allergic to, but adored.
"What's the point of worrying?" she told the Mirror three years ago. "I could go to sleep tonight and not be here tomorrow. 'Oh dear, June's gone,' they'd say."
