We will leave you with some of the memories of Ronnie Corbett, pictured here at Buckingham Palace receiving his CBE in 2012, sent in to us today.
As a youngster I loved the Two Ronnies. I was lucky enough to meet him once many years ago playing as a junior doctor in a charity golf event at his local club, Dulwich and Sydenham. He happened to be in the bar after we had finished and asked what the golf day was in aid of. When we told him, he asked if we had an after dinner speaker lined up, and when he found out we hadn't, he offered to join us and do a turn. He was an absolute delight to talk to at the bar and through dinner, and he had us falling off our chairs with the funniest imaginable after-dinner speech and auction. What generosity of spirit from an absolute legend.
So sad to hear of Ronnie Corbett’s passing – he didn't ever stop working in spite of losing his entertainment other half, dear Ronnie Barker. He gave us decades of fun and laughter in his very clever and inimitable way. Big laughs from a little man. I am sure he enjoyed every minute he was on stage or in front of the camera and bravely carried on when Ronnie Barker died in 2005.
So sorry to hear of the death of comic genius Ronnie Corbett. There will never be another comic actor like him. My condolences to his family.
Just heard the sad news that Ronnie Corbett has died. He was a funny man, a fine actor and a great comedian. Ronnie was unique and irreplaceable and we shall not see his like again.
