This is your life - Freddie Starr

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

A true comedy genius. I went to see Bobby Davao in Blackpool and Freddie was in another show which I also went to. I was sat on the end seat of the aisle when an old man pulled next to me in a wheelchair. Halfway through the act the wheel chair started to roll down the aisle building up spreed and the old man fell out. I ran down after him and Bobby jumped off stage to help the man up. It was Freddie Star playing a prank and we all fell for it. The audience went wild with laughter. Two great nights .

[@andybrogan8098]

Isn't it amazing how many friends Freddie had in showbiz, yet not one of them offered to pay for this legend's funeral.....Oh well 😢

[@TheGeezerMan]

Fair weather friends, not a true friend amongst them.

[@ElToro2000UK]

An Undertaker in Sheffield, Michael Fogg paid for Freddie's body to be brought home to England, from Spain and for the funeral afterwards, after hearing of Freddie's family predicament. He was a fan of his. Good on him! 🙏🏻

They don’t make them like that anymore. True entertainment. RIP Freddie 🙏🏻🦋

Absolute legend Freddie rip. There never be anyone like you xx

[@Chipchase780]

This is the note his career/ life should have gone out on. Love, lots of laughter, good friends around him, and the recognition he thoroughly deserved. It’s a very sad reflection of the times we live in that he left this life broken ill and alone. We all still cherish his memory anyway. A true legend and star.

[@martinplatt5928]

I'll second that x

[@CrossAnchors]

All the People who made thousands of Pounds off of Freddie Starr, who then walked away and abandoned him, all the People on This is your Life, where the hell were you all, Freddie didn't deserve to be treated and Die the way he did, yes he had troubles, he admitted it, but where were you when he needed help, all you hangers on, you should also be ashamed, but none of you will be, Freddie Starr, his like will never be seen again

[@seanmitten3062]

Freddie was the UK's Greatest variety entertainer ! He'll never be beaten for that title .... he deserved a Better ending !!!

[@soadmahgiu5187]

Loved Freddy Starr from the first time I saw him on TV. Such a funny man. Shame that he died alone and abandoned by his family

[@magsfashny7007]

I heard from a friend that poor Freddie died alone in a chair in Spain. It was his housekeeper who found him after she came back from shopping. My friends mother lives on the same road as him. Makes me sad as I loved him, pure comedic genius and would make my belly laugh. R IP dear Freddie xxxxxxxxx

[@stormytempest3907]

Freddie had his demons, but hey who hasn't? He was a tortured soul, but what a talent, he made alot of people happy and that's a Gift, love the PROPER Liverpool people.

The guy was friends with Jimmy Saville and 70s/80s pedo "top stars" of UK TV... Do you put yourself in the category of "having that demon"...?

[@SynthMagic]

When stars were stars instead of the ' I showed my arse on tv once and got outraged by the sky being blue' so now I'm a star, that we have today.

[@TheGeezerMan]

I loved watching this, I remember watching him on TV. Saddens me to think how it all ended...he deserved so much more.

Freddie is clearly emotional from the beginning ; it begs the question where were all these friends and family when he really needed them. Apart from the ones who were dead before Freddie none of the others can be excused ! !

[@garryharriman7349]

I`m afraid you are mistaken. He was not a good man at all, actually. Yes, he may have been a great entertainer, but he was quite possibly mad and treated all that loved him (including the woman who was his wife when this was filmed) abhorrently. Even his daughter disowned him. @@mykehyslop198

[@daniellehandley5113]

I used to watch Freddie with my beautiful Gran, 30 odd year ago, doesn’t seem that long ago when you remember the laughter. Kids music is utter filth these days when you watch this comedy it truly is the cleanest most innocent fun, those accusing him were just cruel. Thanks for doing his services pal from 1 director to another. Love the Star on his grave too btw ❤ God bless you Freddie and to you too xx

Back in the70's I was walking down deansgate in Manchester..and there was Freddie Starr just leaning on the wall with a big grin on his face...I thought I know that guy!....he gave me a smile as I passed him by...wish ID have shook his hand now...RIP Freddie !

[@clivebutterworth4835]

Absolutely I was in South Shields and a guy walked across in front of me, smiled and said hello. I was convinced it was Freddie Starr then and still am to this day. How many performers, at their peak, would acknowledge someone in such a natural manner. The most outstanding impressionist the world has ever known.

[@Morph-on1vl]

Its a absolute disgrace how the media and bbc in particular have ignored this great mans passing and airbrushed him from history. Doesnt fit in with the avocado eating, liberal lefty bbc though.

[@marcellosgarbini759]

Your totally right 👍

[@elizabethross-watson9792]

It was disgusting what they all did to him and still doing. Where were his so called friends when he needed them most. He moved to spain and had a carer with him. I thank our Dear God that Freddie heard the news of his innocence before he died. I hope all those who accused him can live within theirselves. God Bless you Freddie we all know the truth, I think most of us did anyway. You are sorely missed Freddie by me and millions of the people you entertained. xxxxxxx

[@ajdoubleu4218]

So well loved. R.I.P Freddie, you beautiful soul 🤗

[@marknestbox]

OK, I was already withholding a blubbering reaction after 3 minutes as I respect this man so much, and that very same emotional response accumulated by each minute. For years I wondered how Fred would get on with the likes of the other ultra-great, Billy Connolly, and then, to my great-great surprise the guy walks on, so we've now two mega-rare comedic talents together (not rivals). Yes, at this point I totally broke down and cried as two of the greatest men of their trade were actually mates. I never imagined that they'd be remotely compatible as associates, and to see the affection between them, and the many other famous therein, is merely indescribable. Freddie, you were a very special person, and now you have gone, as we all must, my hope is that you can hear my thoughts or read these words of thanks. You went where I failed. With regards. Mark. Second Side Up.

His family should be ashamed of themselves. Where were they when he needed them? How could they take money from a fan to pay for his funeral. There are enough of them to pay for the send off he deserved. It makes me sad his life ended this way. God Bless Freddie and to I want God to forgive his family? No

What an absolute talented guy the Press need shooting !

[@aquatotsuk]

Freddie was a genius, like many, tortured by his talents. An amazing performer, the stage, his natural plateau, the audience his friends, from where he entertained millions again and again. The end, was unfortunate, hiding away in Spain, agonising in the pit of accusation, never proven, never deserved. Thank god that someone eventually sued the witch hunters and halted them in their deceitful tracks of misery, albeit too late for Freddie. RIP Freddie, your genius will be missed, but your legend lives on in all of us.

[@elizabethross-watson9792]

I Thank God his mother wasn't alive to see it. I always fight the tears when I think about it. And I can honestly say 'I NEVER believed it of him.' I've seen him on stage, in fact he got my son up on the stage and had him sit in a chair and sent off an electric shock. My son was as funny as Freddie that night. I nearly wet myself from laughing. Freddie was a brilliant performer and greatly loved by his true fans. I can't imagine the hell he went through. God bless you Freddie. Love you and miss you xxxx

[@Da1Dez]

A woman I used to work with told me how in the early 1980s when she worked as a waitress at a hotel, Starr was an occasional entertainment and would occasionally put his arm around her waste, move close to her and ask if she wanted to come up to his room repeatedly. She would always refuse and give him a look of disgust, yet she said he never took a hint and would keep harassing her occasionally. This was probably around that period.
