So sad to hear of the death of Ronnie, such a wonderful comic.

RIP Ronnie

A very funny man!

The Two Ronnies sketch of 'Four Candles' is hilarious.

I watched the programme on BBC2 last night which showed his whole career. Some of the stuff with Danny La Rue brought back some memories. The old sketch of the 2 Ronnie's as 2 Char ladies playing the saucepans with wooden spoons was a classic as well.

I was also not aware the 2 Ronnie's did some shows in Australia after they left our screens in the UK. Would not mind finding them and watching.

Even The Peter Kay version of "Show me the way to Amarillo" when Ronnie fell off the travelator and it was so funny they kept it in the final video.

He will be missed.
