I still can’t believe it. I still don’t really understand it. One of those events I probably never will.
Because she was wonderful. And rememberable. We all knew her as Alice (or Honey). But if you really knew anything about the sphere of Richard Curtis, you knew her as Emma Chambers.

Some highlights of the best:

She was a good one, folks. She won’t ever be forgotten.
