Ken Dodd, the comic and entertainer, has died at the age of 90 just two days after marrying his long-term partner.
Dodd was known for his lengthy stand-up shows, sometimes lasting up to five hours. His publicist Robert Holmes said: “To my mind, he was one of the last music hall greats. There is no one else that comes close.
“He passed away in the home that he was born in over 90 years ago. He’s never lived anywhere else. It’s absolutely amazing. With Ken gone, the lights have been turned out in the world of variety. He was a comedy legend and a genius.”
