    What an absolute wonderful man Larry was. I spent the first 18 years of my life in Nuneaton and still have family there. As well as having members of my family in this very graveyard. Larry lived around the corner from me and I would see him most days walking his dog. He never failed to say hello when passing. Nuneaton still misses him ♥️

      There was a reason people didn't go on about being gay in the past . It was illegal . You could be arrested, put to jail and/or chemically castrated for being caught engaging in of age, consensual, gay and lesbian sex . Im not refering to child abuse which is a diffrent issue altogether .
      Read the story of mathematician Alan Turing to see what i mean .
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing
      My uncle died at 89 years old 3 years ago . He was gay . Never once did he come out . We all knew it and my family never had an issue with the 2 partners he had in my 47 years of life .

      The tragedy about his generation of gay comedians is the they actually believed the worst kind of homophobic propaganda about themselves ... he once told his agent that he was a walking talking mistake. I know he isnt popular with the LGBTQ+ rights movement but I adored him, I have warm childhood memories of my nanas reaction to him watching The Generation Game.

He was the best one to present TGG and with Isla St Clair made it a must watch. RIP Larry - now shut that door!

    Lovely tribute from you Paul to a Comedy Giant much missed he always made us laugh, he made the Generation Game his own always made the contestants feel at home such a kind gentle man. Over 18 Million viewers every week to watch his show, he would fill 2000 seater theatres wherever he appeared I'm afraid we will not see his likes again but what a legacy he left behind, he loved all the Classic Hollywood Films and loved talking about them. Thank you, Larry, for all the laughs, a legend in his own time gone but most definitely not forgotten. Thanks, Paul, so lovely top see Larry's final resting place, I hope he is still having a ball up there! RIP. Will you - "Shut That Door!"

    I used to love him on The Generation Game. At one point he lived in the hills in Torquay and drove a Rolls Royce. I listened to a podcast, I think on BBC sounds about him. He said that it took him 40years to become an overnight success.
    I also remember when he was in hospital and was then released. A few days later press called Isla St Clair to say they were sorry about Larry. She told them he was gone and recovering only to be given the news that he had died.
    Apparently in his dying moment, he stared into the corner past everyone, sat bolt upright and then passed away
