Ronnie Corbett
Stars from the showbusiness world have paid tribute to Ronnie Corbett at a memorial service at Westminster Abbey.
The much-loved entertainer died on March 31 last year at the age of 85.
Speaking outside the Abbey Rob Brydon said “he wasn’t that different really off screeen. He was warm, generous, just a lovely man.”
Rob Brydon, David Walliams and Barry Cryer were among the stars who attended the funeral of Ronnie Corbett today.
The funeral took place at St John the Evangelist Church near to Corbett's home in Shirley in South London. Also present were Michael Parkinson, Jimmy Tarbuck and many more figures from the world of entertainment.
Speaking to the BBC Brydon said of Corbett: "he just spread happiness". Barry Cryer said: "I can't think of him without smiling."
The Gold Channel has hastily rearranged its TV schedules this weekend to pay tribute to Ronnie Corbett, who died today.
It has just been reported by the BBC that Ronnie Corbett has died. He was 85.
Well, what a week for quitters. First David Letterman, 66, announces that he is retiring from The Late Show and then Bruce Forsyth, 86, announces that he is leaving Strictly Come Dancing. It is not clear what Forsyth is going to do next. Maybe he has an eye on the imminent Letterman vacancy. After all, hosting a chat show is about the only thing he hasn’t done in his positively biblical 250 years in showbusiness.
