I just heard that too.

Very sad. An extremely talented, funny man. Had a lot of time for him.

Flowers for his family and friends.

I just cried... Sad

Another part of my childhood gone, we used to watch him on The Two Ronnies, and Sorry! 'Language Timothy!' can still be heard regularly here

Aw that's sad.

nottallatall · 31/03/2016 12:21

Aw, really sad to hear this. Part of my childhood too, especially loved his monologues and Timothy Lumsden... Sad

Tiggeryoubastard · 31/03/2016 12:34

His monologues were legendary.

What a bad year it's been so far. Keep singing to myself Bold Sir John and The Cleaning Ladies song since I heard. But feeling a bit teary.

The world is becoming a progressively sadder place.

Sad Loved The Two Ronnies. Memories of my Dad crying with laughter.

Ronnie Corbett was great to watch; loved all his monologues in the big chair. Still watch the Two Ronnies christmas specials most years.

RIP Sad

Lovely comedian, I shall light 4 candles to his memory!

Beeziekn33ze · 31/03/2016 18:20

Slug, apology, hadn't seen your post as I was looking for suitable emoji. I only found a cake with 3 candles ...

Sorry Slug, cross post

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 31/03/2016 20:53

I used to love The Two Ronnies. Sorry was only on tele recently. Another star from my childhood gone.

Eliza22 · 31/03/2016 21:13

I feel really sad. I'm at "that age" and so many of my childhood favourites have died recently.

Will be missed. A lovely chap.

PollyPerky · 31/03/2016 22:59

sad when anyone dies but tbh I thought Barker was the star of the two and the real comedy came from the script writers- give them credit.

Backingvocals · 31/03/2016 23:07

Loved the Ronnies.

Loved Bold Sir John Sad

So doff
So doff
So doff your hat Grin

ChoccyJules · 31/03/2016 23:12

Barker wrote a lot of the scripts under a false name, they didn't realise for a while.

ChoccyJules · 31/03/2016 23:13

And goodnight Ronnie
