One of the greatest comedians of all time. The world is a much duller place without Les.

I am midway through his autobiography, easily one of the best written biographies around. At this time you can still pick it up for less than the price of postage. The reason he looks so gobsmacked is he was worried his wife was having an affair, due to silent phone calls and home visits of strange men to his house when he was out. Of course it was only the show team arranging this episode.

My late Father used to work the taxis in the seventies and he used to do the airport runs to the Theatre Royal Norwich, he used to pick up several of the celebrities back in the day, but he said that Les Dawson was the most generous always giving a £5 tip.

My dad used to work at Lytham crematorium & knew les Dawson. Les used to come to the crematorium to visit his wife's grave . Whenever they saw each whilst driving they'd wind the window down & stick two fingers up at each other.

I know he worked with writers, but there was just something about him that made him the funniest man ever. Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper would always get the plaudits, but for me, Les was the greatest.

I knew Les and his family at this time and went to school with his son and daughter. I once played trumpet at a school Christmas concert and Les commented to the lady sat next to him how bad the performance was, he was right, I was terrible but what he didn’t know is that the lady sat next to him was my mum. You didn’t cross my mum but it all ended in laughter. Great man was Les, with a great family. I never knew what happened to his two children he had with Meg
