RIP Paul O'Grady

[scottishthistle77]

Just come up on BBC News. He was 67.

😢

A man that loves dogs and does so much for them must be a genuinely lovely soul.
Rip.

Really sad to hear this. RIP Paul.

A good man, taken too soon, a world without Paul O Grady is just crap. His autobiographies are really good if anyone is interested.

Met him at Battersea, he was a lovely man, had time to chat with everyone. Will be missed.

RIP Paul. So sad and such a shock.

Gutted. Like a PP I loved his Sunday shows with Malcolm - I also live alone and it was like having a friend on the radio but he also made me laugh so many times. Loved FTLOD too. Look up the episode with Tom Hardy. RIP Paul.

Very sad indeed, I thoight he was brilliant as Lily Savage but it was his programmes about Battersea which made me love him - his compassion for people and animals shone through very brightly. RIP Paul.

Absolutely shocked! I only saw him a few days ago dancing on stage S miss hannigan

😢

I saw him about 20 years ago walking along the pavement in Chelsea. He was a slim and attractive looking man, beautifully dressed, really smart and stylish.

Truly sad news

I absolutely adored his radio show, it was unmissable for me and they clearly loved doing it. An excellent writer too, all his books were must reads.

A life very well lived, but such a sad loss for those who loved him and his work.

He looked so healthy so I'm shocked he went suddenly at 67! But then shocked he had a heart attack previously too so maybe his heart wasn't right. He was so lovely. RIP 😢

I’m not generally affects by celebrities deaths, but I was really sad about this. He seemed a lovely man with a heart of gold. His passion for dogs bore this out.

Such sad news 😢 he seemed like such a genuine lovely man, and hilariously funny and he did such good work for Battersea.

Rest in peace

Very sad news he seemed the most lovely, genuine warm man. Really very sad to hear this. RIP Paul.

I agree OP; this has hit really hard for some reason.

RIP Paul.

I loved his Sunday radio programme too, such a funny man. No one else would play Mrs Mills and Winnifred Attwell !

Such sad news to wake up to. Genuinely shocked me.

He didn’t want to stop his Radio 2 show but they messed him around wanting him to split with other presenters so he quit and he was about to start a similar Sunday slot on Boom Radio which we was looking forward to.

Very sad news. He was a celebrity that seemed genuinely lovely, talented, kind, and funny. I used to love his Lily Savage act years ago. So funny. He will be much missed.

Very sad to read the news this morning. He had such an interesting and full life and seemed a genuinely nice man. RIP

Oh that’s so sad 😞

I'm not shocked as he was open about his ill health and heart issues but I'm very sad. A man who lived life to the full. I loved his Radio 2 show. Such sad news.

I don't generally go in for sentimentality when celebrities die but this one has saddened me. He seemed like a genuinely good egg and someone everyone around him loved. Those kinds of people are hard to replace in life. I hope his husband, family and friends are supporting each other at this time

Oh no! Lovely man.

Was so looking forward to seeing him in Annie, just loved his Battersea series and the Sally army one. He’ll be united with his beloved puppers RIP.
