One of a kind.👍

His gravesite is a shambles in 2023. Covered in weeds.

Looking back on this and noticing that a third of those celebrities attending Tommy Coopers funeral are deceased themselves now.. 💐💔 😢

Six weeks later Ernie Wise would be devastated by the death of Eric Morecambe who died in similar circumstances at a theatre in Cheltenham but not live on television.

Was this the BBC news?

I watch Live from her majesty's on tv with my family when this happen, ITV Broke into an ad break as tv producer knew there was something up, RIP Tommy.

I remember when I was 6 years old when this happened 😢. RIP Tommy Cooper, Leonard Parkin and Ernie Wise. Eric died a few weeks later in this year

He died doing the thing he loved most with laughter in his ears,

Little ern as Eric used to call him . They were a brilliant double act. A must watch at Christmas. I loved the sketch where Eric was trying to play the piano and Andre Pravin (Andrew Preview) kept stopping him by telling Eric he was playing the wrong notes and i cried with laughter when Eric grabs Andre by his collar and slaps his cheeks. I laughed and Andre's orchestra players laughed as well. Just classic comedy. Totally harmless. Poor Des O'connor would be the but of Eric's jokes. Just brilliant tv.

There will never be another Morecambe and Wise genius

He was a true professional. He gave his all and left everything on the stage.

Cooper was too much for me, overpowered by his energy, noticed a few at his funeral who where now dead, Bruce Forsyth, Ernie Wise, Windsor Davies and some others.

Doesn’t Marion Rodgers look beautiful?

paul daniels, windsor davies, the chap/bookie from 'carry on at your convenience' max bygraves, Bernie winters, Brucie, 9 seconds in Morecambe and Wise writer, Russ abbot, Tarbie, Ted rogers, Ernie wise of course and many more legends. tommy is up there with the funniest ever comedians.

Well Eric certainly acknowledged Ernie's brilliance, stating that he was so good he made him (Eric) look better.

Just a man with funny bones. RIP.

RIP 🙏Still.watching all the old videos You bring me Sunshine 🌞 lol

He was a hell of a boxer

Tommy Godfrey was in Love Thy Neighbour and on The Buses I remember !

I guess most of the mourners are all having the crac with Tommy now.

Cooper was well known for being a miserable git

TC Was, the only comedian who I ever knew, that could walk on stage, say nothing and we would all roar with laughter. One of the funniest men of all time.

Rest in peace. 🌷🌷🌷

It was good to see so many famous faces from those days attending Tommy's funeral, he was well liked and respected.

Tommy cooper was a genius

You will never hear a most funny man in your life xx

Lots of great british comedians seemed to die quite young in the day. I wonder if the stress of having and expecting to be funny before a live audience put to much stess on the heart.

0:06 what a Legend he is! *Arthur from Love thy Neighbour which is a fantastic comedy tv show.

RIP

the funniest man ever

Golders Green?

This only goes to show how vulnerable humans are, as it seems not so long ago yet many mourners have also died since. RIP Tommy.

I was hoping to see his great fan…Anthony Hopkins. 😊

Just like that! ❤️

Remember the night well watching it with my mum and dad I was young lad at the time seeing him falling backwards on stage I thought nothing of it tommy being tommy but my mum and dad saying to each other something not right here

He was just a very funny guy,so sad he collapsed on stage and passed away in hospital,I remember watching the royal variety performance Rip Tommy miss your comedy terribly.

Hr was getting Stale , So i Do Not Miss him ...

I bet all of them have passed on now.

We met two people who worked on the show. Going back to the early episodes including the Beatles.

This is probably the last footage of the actor Tommy Godfrey who died in june of that year.

Poor Ernie Wise - little did he know just over a month later he was attending his partner's funeral too. 1984 was a sad year for comedy

I still miss him😣🧲

OMG, a text logo in the middle of the screen. Bloody criminals of getty images only think of themselve.

Love Tommy Cooper! Very sad that he was only 63 when he died!! The great consolation is that he died doing what he loved!!!

RIP TOMMY I KNOW YOU'RE IN HEAVEN MAKING THE ALMIGHTY AND ANGELS LAUGH!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I remember Tommy Cooper on BBC from Canada broadcasting till Cable came and all is lost. Until recently TikTok showed Tommy Cooper I was like oh my gosh I do remember him. I quickly follow up Goggle about him, I am kinda saddened I never knew he passed away 1984 the same year my Dad had gone. Raise Detroit and I love BBC channel 9

A backstage worker said T C walked past her, only for her to learn that Tommy Was dead ahead of her on stage.

Poor Ernie, never got the recognition he deserved. Always overshadowed by the ghost of Eric. They were equally talented should be remembered as such.

Nice bit of rare footage thanks for sharing Ernie had another setback a month later with the death of his partner Eric Morecambe. Two sad loses of great British comedians in the space of 5 weeks.

Never found him funny he looked like a hentchman of the krays
