Les Dawson was a huge part of my life as a child, teen and adult. With Roy Barraclough, he was just a legend. Much missed

[@angelacarter6196]

He was one comedian that my late dad would cry laughing at 😄one of the truly great comedians of his time.

[@SiRhodesDriverTraining]

10th June 1993. I remember the weather had been really good. I was in Blackpool that Day & the local Radio station announced Les had died. The heavens absolutely opened with a massive Thunderstorm. It was like the Fylde coast was crying. Les was an absolute legend.

Cissy and Ada were hilarious especially when he gurned and lifted his bosom with his arm

He was an absolute joy to watch , I didn’t realise he died so young .

[@hellsbells7271]

Aww my favourite comedian of all time, I absolutely love les Dawson, everything this man touched turned to gold. The best presenter ever of Blankety Blank, no one could do it like Les, he did so many things and each and everyone of them was a true testament to his talent. A true, down to earth man who had no airs and graces just himself, and that was more than enough. Thank you for showing this and for the respectful way you introduce your audience to a short but very informative, life story. Thank you. The character he did I think , was Cissie and Ada, with Roy Barraclough

That was great, Les Dawson is up there among the very top comedian in our lifetime a time when they didn't have to drop the F-bomb to get a laugh because they could, so it was pure talent when all you have to do is think of one of his routines and it can make you smile that's talent, thanks Paul another winner

There are always many flowers and visitors to Les's statue in St Annes. Don't worry, Les will never be forgotten.

[@heavenmbmaa]

I am sure his family remember him in other ways other than flowers by his graveside, although I do know what you mean. I don’t like to see graves with no flowers or in disrepair. His youngest daughter Charlotte is all over social media and often talks very fondly of her father. Sometimes people like to remember them as they were

One of the great old school comedians. Just a naturally comedic man.

[@Mackeson3]

He was totally brilliant. It was Roy Barraclough and he who used to do the 'gossipy' housewives Sissy and Ada . I remember my mum almost falling off her chair laughing when Les (in drag) telling Roy (also in drag) about a supposed woman friend of theirs who had to go to hospital for an operation, "They've had to take it all away you know, you know everything ( then mouthed but not spoken) 'down there.' (Then speaking again ) They call it a hysterical rectum!"

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I think the hologram thing they did for him was incredible, especially for his wife and more so for his daughter who unfortunately never got to meet him. It would be lovely if they could do it for more people we've lost

Les was a great comic. I have fond memories of seeing him in summer season at Scarborough. Cissy and Ada live something to remember forever. Also saw him in Panto in Manchester. Brilliant. ❤️

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Thanks Paul, I am not ashamed to say I shed a tear when I heard about his passing. Having just had a baby daughter it was as if he was embarking on a new chapter in his life to have it cut short. I'm surprised we see no re-runs of his time hosting Blankety Blank. He was lovely, my grandmother used to howl & scream laughing when he did the double act as dressed up housewives, quietly mouthing sensitive words! So glad you included the piano scenes, as you say it is hard to play the wrong notes and out of tune but recognisable. Do you remember when they did the tribute show with Les Dawson as a hologram on stage? Many, many fond memories. Thanks again.

Les Dawson was a genious…I loved him with Roy Baraclough in their hilarious skits on next door neighbours!!! How he played the piano all out of tune, yet we all knew what he was playing+sang along…he was just SO brilliant to be able to do that without a hitch!!! The faces he used to pull as well as his Mother in Law jokes!!! I loved watching him on telly (along with mum) every week…I didn’t realise he was so young when he died, so sad!!! “ My wife’s mother is so thin, that when she cries, the tears run down her back…!!! “. How he kept a straight face I’ll never know…one of our National Treasures without a doubt. I have forgotten when I’ve put a comment on here to you before, to say that I hope whoever “ Rests In Peace “ so I’ll say this now to our Les (plus anybody else I may have accidentally forgotten in my other comments…may you all Rest In Peace!!! Loving your adventures Paul…you’re doing a great job, thank you for sharing with us all long+forgotten (sometimes) those who have sadly died!!! You take care+I look forward to your next adventure!!!

Growing up I loved Les Dawson. A great host of Blankety Blank .. his one liners were brilliant RIP Les

[@davidsimons5944]

He was one of the few comedians who was genuinely funny, though he also had a great singing voice & more. My favourite was when he played piano off key. If most people did that it would just sound like bad playing & not particularly funny, but he chose just a few perfectly selected wrong notes & it was hilarious. That actually takes a lot of musical skill. I miss our dear old Les.

[@wendyjones7753]

What a shame we can’t all live forever, he was so funny 😂 I was in a hotel once on a sales conference many moons ago and Ruth Maddock, John Nettles and Les were staying at the same hotel. They were all accommodating and regardless of being pestered by plastered salesmen late in the evening kept a smile on what I’m sure would have been a long day filming or whatever they were doing. RIP Les, thanks for the memories and especially playing the piano so badly so well 👍

[@stephenwalker4809]

Wow! So many people watched the premier, glad see things going so well. There is no one famous buried in Morecambe. Eric Morecambe called the town ‘ a cemetery with lights ‘ and chose to live and die somewhere better. I recently discovered a long forgotten grave of a slave who was a man servant who was eventually ‘ lived as a free man ‘ when the slavery act was repealed. His former owners described him as ‘a much loved and dear friend,’ and the huge slab on a raised plinth that serves as his headstone would have been very expensive at the time and is evidence of the families love for him which I find rather moving and very progressive for the eighteen hundreds. You might find the less fortunate but well known story of Sambo’s (sic) grave at Sunderland point of interest. All best, Paul.
