A long life giving cheer to so many. He was the most superb clown ever.

I've just seen it on a news site!
He just kept going and going and looking almost the same.
I hope they will put his films on tv now, so I can introduce my DD to them.
He was a lovely guy and very natural, nice to see a star getting old gracefully."Orinoco was a fat lazy Womble"
Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either. -
He came to Teignmouth to do a film and I watched it being made, cant remember what the film was called. He drove a car into the river. Filmed by the pier and along the sea front.Gardening ..... begins with daybreak
and ends with backache

Very funny man, will be sadly missed.
Couldnt believe how much he was adored when I was in Tirhana, as soon as anyone found out I was English, the first question they asked was did I know the great man.Bob Leponge

"Sir Norm" phoned me once - I was a wrong number but we ended up having a long and lovely chat! He lived fairly near to me too and we used to see him out occasionally.
What you saw on TV was just what he was like in real life. Even if he had just one person's attention he would put on a full performance. He was like a naughty attention-seeking child - always up to mischief and with a twinkle in his eye.
He loved people and loved life, and will be sadly missed.Comment

Not a huge fan, to be honest, but he seems to have been a lovely bloke.Comment
