This is a huge loss to comedy! I am totally gutted.

Reading this nearly brought a tear to my eye.

As a child, I used to love watching his films and the one that stuck out the most was THE EARLY BIRD.

I take my hat off to you Sir Norman, you were a comedy great and one of my best ever actors.

I hope his sole rests in peace.

I remember the story of him getting his knighthood. As he turned from the queen and began walking away, everyone present waited for his trademark stumble.......which he then did !
He turned back to see the queen with a broad grin on her face !!!
Now THAT is style !!

I remember that too.....CLASS ACT he was! I actually thought the exact same thing as you, total total style. I dont think anyone else could achieve that!

Grew up watching his films and have to agree that "the early bird" was probably my favourite

a big loss to britsh comedy but his films will live on

I've seen his films, wife and brother in law big fans - actually bro in law HUGE fan, had met him several times. Big loss to UK talent.

It is sad, but at 95 and certainly until recently still active he did ok. Personally I only ever enjoyed his films when very young, but I did enjoy his guest role character in Last of the Summer Wine.
