@staredcraft said: “Man oh man #Ripmaxvonsydow thank you for voicing Viggo in Ghostbusters 2, Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon, Father Merrin from the Exorcist, Chief Judge Fargo from Judge Dredd and so many more. Farewell Max von Sydow.”

@robbiereviews said: “There is no better, neater definition of cinema than Max von Sydow’s face.”

@Nickdesemyelen said: “When Star Wars came back, it was Max von Sydow who was chosen to deliver the first line of dialogue (‘This will begin to make things right’). Smart casting – no matter how fantastical a story, his voice always made it feel real.”

@postpunkjustin said: “RIP to this absolute legend. The Seventh Seal is one of my favourite films of all time, mostly because of Max von Sydow’s excellent acting.”

@jonathantranter said: “So many, but I think my favourite Max von Sydow, even though supporting, performance, is the man who’s lost his faith in Winter Light. His guilt and sorrow is perfect. Rest in peace Max.”

@theproperkp said: “I’m sure Max Von Sydow has been 90 for the last 40 years. Cracker of an actor though.”

#LAYLAMORAN

The MP for Oxford West and Abingdon said she would run to be the next leader of the Liberal Democrats.

@soozy_b said: “Cheers hun. We need a good laugh since Swinson has gone.”

@Humptygokart100 added: “Lib Dems down the pan and about to be flushed.”

@syhrtaylor said: “Absolutely the person to lead that change. You have my support!”

@Anthonymortlock said: “Although I wish you well I feel that Ed Davey has the gravitas and authority to make a better leader. I think he and Starmer would be a strong centre ground opposition to this vile @Borisjohnson regime.”

@steve_houseman said: “Good luck Layla. But please learn from past mistakesunless the opposition unite and work together there is no way of beating this Tory Govt. Put aside petty party politicking. Jo Swinson’s judgement was very poor during the election. Work with Keir for all our sakes!”

@Peterormston said: “I saw your performance on Question Time, thought you were hectoring, self satisfied and mean spirited – a huge turn off.”
