Now Norman Wisdom Has Left Us

[pookie]

saw him a couple of times on stage - so so funny. A very talented and wonderful man.  Not many comedians reduce me to tears of laughter these days, but Sir Norman did, time and time again.  I also met him once at a Charity event in London - he was such a gentleman, very quiet, unassuming and a real twinkle in his eye.   A sad sad day indeed.   Sir Norman, thank you.

Just seen this as we are away. Sad loss of a man who madd ne cry with laughter more than once. RIP.

Sad loss of a genius, one of my favourite memories is of him and Bruce Forsyth doing a complete sunday night at the london pallidium, seems a lifetime ago now.R.I.P Norman.

I remember that, it was superb.
The one thing that sticks most in my mind was the bit in 'The Bulldog Breed' when they cut the air hose to the diver's suit and he went off round the harbour like a balloon.
