I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live twice. A human encyclopaedia of jokes. Made me laugh till I cried. RIP Ken Dodd. You brought laughter and happiness to tens of thousands.

[@cuddlybear4108]

Lovely to see this tribute to the late Sir Ken Dodd, thank you.

[@stephenwindle4340]

A fitting tribute to the greatest comedian that Britain has produced. A true gentleman and someone I am proud to call a friend.. R.I.P Ken

[@gillyjames9609]

Oh Ken 💖 we were 'blessed with more than our share of happiness' when you were entertaining us! How everyone loved you Ken! Being a fellow scouser, I was lucky enough to meet you Christmas Eve night 1977, as I was leaving George Henry Lee's and you were trying to sneak in, unrecognised! As a young and lovely girl back then, I asked if I could give you a Christmas kiss and you said that was the best offer you had all day! God bless you Ken, you are God's jester in Heaven! Thanks for the magic laughter you generously gave us! Love you forever Ken mate 💋💖👏 xxx

What a great English Man embodies everything good about old blighty Ken Dodd was a GREAT entertainer a very funny man never upset anyone just good clean happiness and fun i saw him sever times live he had me crying with laughter RIP Ken very sadly missed

[@terryleppert386]

Met ken in a petrol station in Liverpool Road Huyton 10 years ago always wanted to meet him and just say hello he walked up to me and said what a nice car you have its better than mine do you want to swap nearly fell over the way it came out never ever stopped laughing from a child watching him my idle will be very mucth missed R I P ken you will keep me laughing till the day I die see on the other side I hope love to your family always x

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

The start of this TV show, shows just how much of a ''down to Earth'', and ''touchable'' Superstar this man was. When he started the walk down the stairs of the theatre to begin the programme, he stood and shook peoples hands, talked to them, kissed them, and held up the beginning of the programmes intro music, which ran over a few times. A proper Gent, and a Legend. No other star that I can remember on ''This is your life'' has got close to the audience to thank them and say hello, as they always appeared from back-stage. Anne was a lucky lady, and now, she's a Lady in the true sense. It's a shame that Ken finally married her during his last few hours on this Earth. Sir Ken Dodd will be greatly missed by many.

[@qpulse]

I couldn't have put it better myself Digger Dawg. I never met Sir Ken but always loved watching and listening to him over the years. A genuinely funny man who was a legend in every sense. RIP Sir Ken thank you so much for entertaining us xx

A fine tribute to a wonderful and unique entertainer.....................RIP Doddy!

[@a2zmedia100]

Saw him last year. His show was wonderful. He is so funny. He loves making people laugh. His show was supposed to last 3 hours but the audience would`nt let him leave the stage. He carried on for another 90 minutes. Even outside he was chatting with his fans standing outside. It was a night to remember. Thanks Ken.

[@sarahfoster1304]

Ken was a legend one of the best comedian great Britain has ever had there will never never be any like him again

[@24tohayes]

This man embodies all that is great about Great Britain. Nowadays everything is amazing, fantastic and brilliant and TV personalities are national treasures.However there is no-one like Ken Dodd for sheer professionalism,longevity and wonderful spiritedness. As funny and kind a man at the stage door as on the stage. Go to one of his Happiness Shows for a 5 hour show and you will leave aching with laughter but on a wave of joy and love. His audiences adore him because they have grown up and old with him and because his show is an experience good for the soul.I have seen him a dozen times and know some of the jokes but we keep going back each year to Eastbourne because he is unique and we feel so uplifted afterwards. Thank you so much for putting this on.

[@philjones45]

I went to one of his shows once, walked out with boredom, and a very sore arse.

i cried within the first three minutes of this video - due to absolute look of sheer surprise, appreciation and happiness in kenn dodds face. what a modest and unassuming man, a true star. i love the guy, he deserves a knighthood no matter what!

Ken Dodd reflects the QUALITY of Comedians that walk the boards in those days. They were Comedians!!!!!!!!

[@Rumpelsmystery]

Hey I am also from Belgium, and was born in Antwerp city....I always have the greatesd respect for people like Ken Dodd because they do the most important job in the world, they make people laugh and thats what we need in a world like this! The UK had a lot of great comedians....even Stan Laurel was born in Great Britain and he was the biggest of them all! Here in Belgium we dont have that much tallented comedians...The best we had was Gaston and Leo and Holland had Toon Hermans, André Van Duin...and thats it Hoeray for all the funny comedians, they will always be rememberd by the public

[@hubs37]

Dodd is a great Welsh surname. The Dodd family definitely have the Welsh look and features. This has to be the best "This is your life" ever.

[@ExtremeKnexRides]

I was so happy when I heard Ken Dodds "love is like a violin, in the Disney Live Action Remake of Cruella, he is know for his comedy, but he was a remarkable singer and was the third biggest selling artist in the UK in the 1960s quite am achievement by anyones standards

[@shpeter1019]

Such a great man, such a great comedian .. such an AWFUL accountant. Just watching him shake hands as he came in reminds me of the story many theatres around the UK will tell - that no matter how long it had been since Doddy played that theatre he remembered EVERYONE'S name, childrens names, favourite colour, favourite joke .. he was a try master of music hall theatre and will be greatly missed. A legend and I am so proud to have seen him live.

He was a lovely careing man.R.I.P.ken.you will be sadly missed by all that known you.sleep well.god bless you.
