Paul O’Grady will be 'greatly missed': Piers Morgan honours late comedian

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says comedian Paul O’Grady will be “greatly missed” following his sudden death aged 67.
“There aren't really many people who live up to the phrase national treasure,” Mr Morgan said.
“Great guy, loved his dogs, loved his fans, loved his viewers.”

Words cannot describe how much Paul was loved and cherished by the people close to him and all his fans. You will be sadly missed Paul 😢. Rest in peace ❤️

I was lucky enough to meet Paul at Battersea when I went to collect my dog. He was a lovely man and definitely a “What you see is what you get” person. I just had to named my Greyhound Grady and a couple of years later I found him a lady companion who just had to be called Lily. Such sad news.

Absolutely love this guy.. Heartbroken 💔💔.. a working class Hero… R.I.P. Paul 🌹🌹.. no one can come close … Godbless ❤️❤️

[@stephendavies8510]

Paul was a man who never forgot were he came from and stayed true to his class.

[@jedworthy]

Paul was a beautiful soul and nobody can replace that kindness, sincerity, hilarity, he was an incredible human being 😢❤

[@skygazer6898]

The death of Paul O Grady had me sobbing as I felt I had lost a close friend. Paul was a wonderful human being and the world is a little bit darker without him in it

[@tassie2348]

Agreed, many have died over the years and left a hole but for some reason, this hit hard. ❤

[@francisbrown5469]

Paul Humble ,Thoughtful and the ever Showperson could scare the bejeesus out of you with Lily and still entertain you over the last 50 years . Will be sadly missed .

[@gaz3]

Litterly an End of an Era ..😢..Paul was so professional and brittish over and over..Not just gems and stars but a human who put smiles on faces through the good and the bad..over the years we all watched Paul on television before social media..told us all not to take life so serious. With my deepest and sincere affection and love to Paul's family and friends..May you rest in fields of gold Sir..many thanks for everything and the absolute best wishes forever and always..God bless you Paul.. ❤ 😢

[@manichairdo9265]

When Paul was asked if he thinks he'll go to heaven, he quipped, I hope not, I won't know anyone. 🤣😅🤣

[@ellenlyons4090]

He was a kind generous hearted man. He was funny even when he was being serious a great story teller. He could make you laugh until you cried. If people haven’t read his autobiography I would recommend it he had me crying with laughter. He’s up there now causing mayhem with Cilla and Dale I bet heaven doesn’t know what’s hit it. RIP Paul gone but never forgotten.

[@angeleyes2163]

Farewell you legend,I didn't know you but,you were a lovely guy, fly high Paul and dance with the stars.

Paul was born with funny bones , RIP

[@sonofednawelthorpe8609]

Even Blanche Hunt - Coronation Street - said. I love the gays. I’d walk over hot coals for Paul O’Grady 😂

[@fx-studio]

How many times can you gen-0-side 💉a community and still get off with it? Having failed to understand the origins of the last one the gay community really dropped the ball on this one.

[@ConnbineHarvester]

I finished newspapers ... suddenly

[@leonarddavies288]

For lying about British troops torturing Iraqis

[@rosemaryaddessa4683]

Who could not like Paul O’Grady, Piers Morgan, 100%. Correct. Hope he meets up with Cilla Black.

[@Spendarellaa]

He was all those things, but what I really liked was he had the measure of the Tories and didn’t mind calling them what they are.

[@andreablamire5509]

Eeeek, Sharon’s face!

[@frankcarter6427]

I suspect that, if Morgan had died, Paul wouldn't be as kind. RIP Lily

[@manichairdo9265]

But Paul had the gift of kindness in his own way. Like when Lilly ranted about the no smoking Nazis at Heathrow airport. A guy cleaning the floor told her to put her ciggie out. She didn't. Then the cleaner pointed to a NO SMOKING sign and asked, can you read that? Lilly replied, of couse, that's why I am not sweeping airport floors. 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheYopogo]

Being praised by Piers Morgan is not an honour, it's a dishonour. Get his name our of your mouth!

[@Dion_Mustard]

Paul has died but Ozzy is still going..how the hell has that happened? lol. Bless them both. Ozzy must be a robot.

[@SHINBET666]

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 REST IN PEACE ETERNAL FRIEND Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God’s free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it’s sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice’s length
And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing it’s fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive-
The rose still grows beyond the wall, Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forever-more. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻 SINCERE CONDOLENCES, FROM H.R.H PRINCE LOUIS XAVIER OF LUXEMBOURG & DENMARK 🙏🏻🤴🏼🤴🏼

[@hosephanerothe1440]

You're not welcome here

[@fuzzylogiceire]

He had three heart attacks, decades before Covid. The man had a long history of health problems so I don't know why you're trying to push this angle.

[@bushwhackeddos.2703]

@@fuzzylogiceire Bit dodgy for him to take them then, with the now known heart side-effects.

[@markriding1267]

Sudden and unexpected 💉

[@Lisa-Peter7875]

👏 I agree. Another victim 😒 😪

[@janolaful]

​ @Lisa & Peter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 he wasn't a victim he had very poor health in past including 3 heart attacks. So stop speculating, and have some respect for Paul and his family.

[@Peter_Henderson]

If Paul O'Grady was like Sharon Osbourne does that mean he would've got weird lip fillers and cheek fillers and Botox and giant lips and weird face if he'd lived to like 77 or 87.

[@manichairdo9265]

No way. He was the real deal. Authentic to the bone. 🤣🥂

What a drag ... with respect, a man who dressed up in women’s clothes and wore a Dolly Parton wig ... a ‘National Treasure’ 🤦‍♂️

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

go away you would not understand

[@fireyflower6643]

Yes you small narrow minded twit

[@harismyers1329]

national hero !

[@suehead109]

If you think Paul O'Grady was nothing more than womens clothes and a Dolly Parton wig, you obviously know nothing about him. He was a National Treasure for a number of reasons. He was a lovely bloke and will be sorely missed by family, friends and fans. Sleep well Mr O'Grady x

[@Lisa-Peter7875]

Sorry, but that doesn't sum up Paul. Educate yourself before making silly comments. Paul was a very educated man with a heart of gold he will be missed by most!
